Jets focus on improving on their glaring struggles on third down and in the red zone

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 21:18:19 GMT

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Nathaniel Hackett studied what his New York Jets offense did in the team’s first six games — and was blunt with his assessment.“We (stunk) in the red zone,” the offensive coordinator said Thursday. “And we (stunk) on third down.”Talk about not sugarcoating things.His criticism is valid: The Jets rank last in the NFL in scoring touchdowns in the red zone at 29.4%, going 5 for 17 inside their opponents’ 20. New York is also last in third down conversion rate at 25%. The Jets’ ineptitude in both situations has contributed to the offense being ranked 30th overall — unable to consistently score points through the early portion of the season.“I think the biggest one has been the self-inflicted wounds,” Hackett said. “And it’s not just one person. It’s everybody kind of (taking) turns. And for us, we’ve got to settle down. Everybody’s got to do their job. And I think that was kind of the biggest one. “It starts with me doing my job an...

A European style of mountain climbing is taking root in the Colorado Rockies

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 21:18:19 GMT

OURAY, Colo. (KDVR) - It is a way to climb mountains that began in World War I by the Italian Army as a tactical way to move troops.They call this method, via ferrata. In English, it means “the iron path."“The original via ferratas were these rungs drilled into the wall so they could climb through it, and then there would be a team that would actually remove the rungs behind them so they can get the strategic position. It’s pretty wild,” Logan Tyler, Basecamp Ouray founder and owner.Tyler is the one who designed, built and guides the Gold Mountain Via Ferrata in Ouray.“Colorado is kind of the hub for via ferrata in the country," he said.Opened for business in 2022, climbers traverse the mountain using hand and foot holds that have been drilled into the rock, perched high above the valley floor. Experience in mountain climbing is not required. Longmont outdoor school teaches students skills without instruction “That is the best part about via ferrata. It allows everybody to feel ...

Military officials said the 40-year-old man accused in connection with a pair of deadly shootings in Lewiston, Maine was previously sent for a mental evaluation after erratic behavior in July. Authorities identified Robert Card first as a person of interest and later as a suspect in the hours after investigators said he allegedly opened fire in Lewiston Wednesday night. Maine’s governor said at least 18 people were killed, with more than a dozen others injured. As a massive manhunt for Card continued Thursday, the scene was tense in Bowdoin, Maine where Card’s family has lived for generations. Asked if he was worried about his safety, Richard Goddard responded: “Absolutely.”“I don’t know why he took it out on the people he took it out on and I don’t know what’s stopping him from taking it out on whoever else he’s going to take it out on,” Goddard said.Like many Maine residents, Goddard owns guns.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 21:18:19 GMT

LEWISTON, Maine — U.S. Rep. Jared Golden, a Lewiston Democrat, said Thursday he was reversing his position on banning assault weapons, saying a horrific mass shooting in his hometown led him to believe the firearms should be prohibited.Golden was one of four Democrats who voted in July 2022 against federal legislation that sought to ban certain types of semi-automatic weapons. But speaking to reporters inside Lewiston City Hall, Golden said after moments like the Wednesday mass shooting, “a leader is forced to grapple with things that are far greater than his or herself.”It’s too soon to tell if his switch will spark a movement, but he said he must try.“I have opposed efforts to ban deadly weapons of war, like the assault rifle used to carry out this crime,” he said. “The time has now come for me to take responsibility for this failure, which is why I now call on the United States Congress to ban assault rifles, like the one used by the sick perpetrator of this mass killing in...
