NY Jets Video: Analyzing season comments by Brandon Marshall

The NY Jets had a rebounding season in 2015 that saw the team go 10-6 but narrowly miss the NFL Playoffs. Wide receiver Brandon Marshall believes the Jets overachieved yet underachieved.

Last season was definitely a step in the right direction considering all the changes the Jets made during that offseason. They brought in a brand new general manager, head coach and had a spending spree in free agency. Combine that with a successful 2015 NFL Draft class and the Jets were the talk of the football world for most of last year’s offseason.

Many view their 10-6 record as a success while others believe it’s a failure. The Jets were in a golden situation heading into their season finale against the Buffalo Bills in which all they had to do was win and get in for the playoffs. Unfortunately, when it mattered most, they didn’t show up as they suffered a season-ending loss.

Marshall recently sat down with our friends at Sports Illustrated Now to discuss his overall thoughts on the entire season. Take a look at the segment below:

When it came to the terrific job the Jets did last offseason in upgrading the team, Marshall was absolutely correct. It was also good to see how he defended and sticks with his quarterbacks when asked if he wanted to bring quarterback Colin Kaepernick to the Jets.

Since it’s that time of year where rumors, crazy ideas and news goes viral on what free agents or trades might occur with the Jets, it’s always good to remember to take things one day at a time. The Jets have a lot of work ahead of them but they have the right leadership in place to make those tough decisions for the overall benefit of the team.

To see the kind of work that went behind the scenes for the Jets to achieve what they did last season definitely preaches to the culture being established across the organization. It’s a shame the Jets missed the playoffs since they got hot at the right time as who really knows what could have happened if they made it via a Wild Card berth.

Overall, the Jets have a nice foundation already built as many believe they can overachieve again next season if they retain some of their eligible free agents and stick to the blueprint that worked last year. With many players like Marshall that believes in this team, it’s only a matter of time before everything comes together and they go the distance.
