Jets fans pivot between cautious optimism and questions as the 2025 season looms. Three critical pairings shape the path: Olu Fashanu and Armand Membu anchoring an unproven tackle duo; Justin Fields pairing with offensive coordinator Tanner Angstrand to unlock a run-heavy, run-pass option offense; and a high-stakes defensive reboot led by Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams. Angstrand’s Detroit Lions roots color his game plans, while Fields’ reliance on a sturdy line and Garrett Wilson’s elite talent define Week 1 vs. Pittsburgh. The Jets’ ceiling hinges on a functional line, design runs, and freeing Wilson amid limited depth at receiver.
