Ravens Vs. Jets is coming right up. Today we have a treat for you. This is our conversation with Luis Tirado Jr. from The Jet Press to get you ready for the game:

CS: Ravens Vs. Jets Luis, are you ready for this? The Jets are really struggling. They have a 1-5 record and nothing is going right. First of all how bad is this team on a scale of 1-10 (1 being the worst). How much blame should Todd Bowles get for this?

Talking About Geno Smith

CS: What are your expectations for Geno Smith in this game? What are your expectations going for him in the future?

LTJ: I don’t expect much from Smith in this match up, the hope is there but the reality of the situation is that he won’t fix all the glaring problems across the team. Sure, he might bring a spark but then again, there’s also that chance we’ll see the multiple-interception version of him as things could get ugly real fast on Sunday. For the future however, I think he’ll be a better quarterback for the Jets thanks to his arm strength and ability to be a dual threat. I just don’t expect him to all of a sudden play lights-out football this week.

CS: Okay, Brandon Marshall is your best play-maker. Who is the second most reliable player?

LTJ: I’d have to say Lachlan Edwards, our punter. Since the Jets’ offense can’t even keep those chains moving, I’ve seen more of his consistency than anyone else. It’s sad since he pins opponents deep in their own territory but then the Jets’ defense can’t stop anyone
