Listed below are three takeaways from the Jets’ 15-12 preseason win over the Panthers:
1. The Jets front seven has some depth
Even without their starters playing, the line of defense played well.
Will McDonald managed to sack Panthers quarterback Jack Plummer and others showed good penetration against the Carolina line.
2. Olu Fashanu began at right tackle and played your complete first half
The primary-round pick played left tackle last week.
The Jets try to get him able to be the first backup at each spots.
Fashanu was flagged for holding and struggled on some running plays but held up well in pass blocking.
2. The Jets had some nice special teams plays
Brandon Codrington had a 63-yard kickoff return to begin the second half.
Codrington, who later had a 31-yard punt return, is a longshot to make the Jets roster but he helped his cause with the returns.
Backup kicker Austin Seibert made 4 field goals, including one from 52 yards.
Seibert won’t be on the Jets, who’ve Greg Zuerlein, but he could get picked up by one other team.
