Jets 2018 Roster Countdown: Number 22 Trumaine Johnson Trumaine Johnson is the next player up in our roster countdown.Name: Trumaine JohnsonNumber: 22Year with Jets: 1stProjected Role: Superstar cornerbackHis 2017: Johnson’s final season with the Rams was a bit of a down year. He allowed the fifth most cover yards in the league according to PFF. That didn’t prevent the Jets from giving him a huge contract which made him one of the richest defensive players in the league.2018 will be a success if: Johnson plays at an All Pro level. It’s that simple. He is getting paid as though he is an elite shutdown corner who can be left on an island and take away elite receivers. Beyond the contract
Color Rush Brandon Shell Jersey , however, the Jets are constructed to have Johnson fill that role. There isn’t much of a pass rush on this team. The Jets are going to need to blitz heavily and trust that the secondary can hold up one on one. Johnson is going to draw the toughest assignments on a weekly basis. His ability to play at a superstar level will likely go a long way toward determining this team’s fate in 2018.Odds of making the roster: Lock (>99%) The Jets officially announced the long-rumored hiring of Dowell Loggains to their coaching staff today. Loggains will hold the dual role of offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.Loggains has worked with Jets head coach Adam Gase in the past. They last teamed up in Miami in 2018 when Loggains also worked under Gase as an offensive coordinator.It would be fair to say that Loggains’ track record leaves something to be desired.I wouldn’t argue that this is as significant of a hire as Gregg Williams was for the defense. With Gase likely to take a hands on role in the offense
Color Rush Jason Myers Jersey , Loggains will mainly help implement the vision of the head coach.I would, however
Color Rush Terrelle Pryor Sr. Jersey , argue that this was a missed opportunity. In the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach jobs the Jets had two opportunities to bring in bright offensive minds to collaborate with Gase. That hasn’t happened.While one might downplay Loggains’ role, I ultimately think it’s very difficult to argue that the Jets are improved by him holding these jobs.
