The New York Jets announced that Tim Boyle will start against the Miami Dolphins on Friday.
The Jets have finally seen enough of Zach Wilson as the starter, and have decided to start Tim Boyle against Miami on Black Friday Football. With Wilson under center, the Jets offense has been spinning their wheels in mud and just not going anywhere. Wilson was even demoted to third-stringer as the Jets signed Trevor Siemian to the active roster from their practice squad.
The last time Boyle was a starter in the NFL he was with Lions two years ago. In 2021 with the Lions, Boyle accumulated 526 yards with three touchdowns and six interceptions. Boyle’s main objective will be to get the ball to Garrett Wilson, hand the to Breece Hall, don’t turn the ball over, and get out of the way. Boyle is not guaranteed any other starts after Friday.
With Siemian being signed to the main roster, Boyle will be on a short leash. Siemian has more experience as a starter and should be starting soon enough for the Jets if Boyle struggles under center. Either way, both quarterbacks are a bridge gap until Aaron Rodgers tries to return to the team by season’s end. One thing is for sure Wilson may have seen his last days as a starter for the Jets.
