What Was up With Conley?

So what got into TJ Conley on Saturday night?  The Daily News had a blurb about him yesterday, but didn’t seem to have many answers.

Jets punter T.J. Conley shanked consecutive punts of 19 and 23 yards in the fourth quarter, then received a friendly bounce on another poor punt after that. Despite that, Rex Ryan expressed confidence in Conley. Then again, Ryan danced around the idea of bringing in a veteran to compete with Conley. …

Not sure anyone in the media got a chance to talk with Conley, but we’ll expect to see him answer some questions about it this week. Conley had that one great punt that was downed right on the goal line, and he was looking great during the start of camp, but the shanks during the game were a concern.

Could the Jets bring in someone for a look this week to get Conley back on the right track?  Conley did a good job last year as the Jets punter and my hopes were high he could do a better job this time around.  Rex called him one of the best inside the 20 punters in the game, so we’ll have to wait and see just how concerned the Jets really are.
