We've been waiting for a Strelevation all year, aside from when they did it ahead of the Patriots game as a red herring. With the announcement being made so close to the game, it seems less likely that they are doing this to mess with the Jaguars' preparation, so hopefully the Jets will have some creative and effective plays for Streveler to potentially ignite the offense.
The Jets will enter into today's game with just four active wide receivers but of course their tight ends and running backs can contribute in the passing game.
Parks being elevated makes sense despite the fact the Jets are hopeful Lamarcus Joyner can rejoin the starting line-up tonight. Parks provides extra cover, special teams contributions and versatility for a group that's already a man down with Echols out.
The fact that they did not elevate a defensive lineman (Tanzel Smart having used up his three elevations already) makes it obvious that the questionable Quinnen Williams is going to play too.
