This is the Lockdown Jets podcast on this Wednesday.

This is a bonus episode.

I'm your host, John B from gangreneation.com.

And the reason we have this bonus episode is there is major New York Jets news today.

Head coach Aaron Glenn has announced that Tyrod Taylor will start at quarterback for the Jets this Sunday in week three action against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Justin Field suffered a concussion in the Jets' week two lost to the Buffalo Bills and will not be

ready for this next game against Tampa Bay. This changes a lot for the Jets. It changes the

team's path to victory, and it changes everything about the way this offense will run. And that's

what we're going to break down in this episode. Stylistically, Tyrod Taylor and Justin Fields are two very different

quarterbacks. Now, there is some overlap. Both of them have a degree of mobility, but the way

they use that mobility is very different. You are not going to run the types of plays with Tyrod Taylor

under center that you would with Justin Fields. You will see far fewer designed runs in the New York

Jets offense with Tyrod Taylor playing the quarterback position. That's first of all because while

Taylor is mobile, he's not as natural of a runner as Justin Fields.

It's also because Taylor is more of a natural thrower than Fields.

And also, you have to factor in age.

Taylor is in his mid-30s.

He's also a guy known to be prone to injuries, so you don't want to risk Tyrod Taylor getting injured.

Because if anything happens to Tyrod Taylor getting injured because if anything happens to

Tyrod Taylor in this game, then suddenly you're playing Brady Cook at the quarterback position.

I think what you're going to see from the Jets this coming Sunday against Tampa Bay is more

of a conventional NFL offense than you saw with Justin Fields.
