As the New York Jets prepare for the long season ahead, their offense is shaping up to be dynamic thanks to new offensive coordinator John Morton.

Last season, the offense of the New York Jets left much to the imagination. It was so bad and predictable that teenagers playing Madden NFL 2017 would have made better playcalling. After the Jets posted their final 5-11 record, they made sure to change things up when it came to their offensive coordinator.

Chan Gailey was promptly relieved of his duties as the Jets replaced him with new offensive coordinator John Morton. He comes from the New Orleans Saints and brings hope that he can make the offense of the Jets one that is efficient enough to keep those chains moving and actually score touchdowns.

Good thing is, earlier this week during organized team activities, Morton confirmed that the offense of the Jets will indeed be dynamic. You know, the kind that changes week by week depending on who their opponent is.

In an article written by Rich Cimini of ESPN, here is what Morton and Cimini said on early expectations for how the offense of the Jets will look this upcoming season:

The Jets will be a game plan-specific offense, meaning they will change each week based on their opponent and matchups. The New England Patriots are the best example of this style. As Morton said, “It’s not going to be just one thing, this is what we do. I think that’s important.” Under his predecessor, Chan Gailey, the Jets fell somewhere in the middle of the spectrum.

Right off the bat, this is a smart strategy to consider since again, it seemed the Jets had no identity when it came to their offense. Whether they commit to establishing the run or put on an aerial clinic, it’s important that Morton and the Jets do what makes the most sense to leave a football game victorious. If they take the season one week at a time and focus on that, they might surprise many in 2017.

To have a dynamic offense on the Jets that will be different than anything we’ve seen last season will be a welcomed sight. Hopefully, everything falls into place so their offense can take advantage of defensive weaknesses in front of them and exploit it with quality drives that actually end with touchdowns.
