From their breakdown of the Steelers-Jets game (which the Jets lost) https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2012/09/17/refo-jets-steelers-week-2/ [EDIT - Thanks CK] If we had A good secondary this would thrill me, but I think it's a wash. Starks and Soliai get a good challenge this week. Mangold is as good as Pouncey is for us. I'm especially concerned about how Dansby plays against the run this week. He needs to bring his best. No wrong-gapping. No letting Mangold release to the second level and wipe him out. Lets hope the elder Pouncey brother gives some pointers to the younger Pouncey brother this week. Long is not playing at 100% so Rex may send McIntyre around Jake's outside just as he did to Pittsburgh's LT Max Starks. Jerry and Martin are potential targets for Rex Ryan blitzes off the right side of our line. The Jets do a great job confusing O-lines on blitz pickups so lets hope our guys have it together or Tannehill will get hit lots back there. This gives me some hope that Wake could be enough, if he has a good game. This is phenomenal for us, since Bush excels at this part. I think we also need some physical presence, however, and would love to see Philbin call an early play where Javorskie Lane gets the ball with a full head of steam towards Bart Scott. Levelling Bart Scott would do a lot for our team's mentality, and diminish the Jets' confidence. A combination of physical domination like that, with Bush's elusiveness would soon frustrate amd discourage the Jets players, getting them onto their heels. The concern is whether we can establish any sort of inside run game. This is especially critical on short down and distances. Reggie bouncing outside for a big gain is possible because defenders must respect that he could run up the middle. If the Jets D-line can stone us between the tackles, then the linebackers and secondary can commit to flowing to the boundary, preventing any big outside runs.
Bk, I've seen Paul Solai throw around nick mangold like he was his sister... They better get Revis back or their gonna get run.
PFF was trying to make the point that Sanchez only completed 3 of 11 passes when NOT blitzed...the suggestion being, maybe Miami should hold off on blitzng him and see if they can get pressure while keeping everyone out in coverage. I would personally rather do that. During his career in NY, Sanchez has been a better passer facing a blitz than facing coverage. He might get sacked slightly more often against the blitz (difference is negligible) but he loves making big plays right into the teeth of a blitz and he ends up surprisingly not getting intercepted on those plays (20 TDs in 2010 & 2011, only 6 INTs). So far this year it's been the opposite, he's passed much better when not blitzed than when blitzed. But a big part of that was the Bills, who rarely blitzed him, and whom he had the same passer rating into the blitz as he did into non-blitzes. The problem is obvious. With the cast we've assembled, it gets difficult for us to apply pressure if we're not blitzing.
Garret McIntyre is a fmr CFLer Jets were not very impressive tbh, it looked like they had lost their swag.
The key to the Jets offense is roughing them up, from the quarterback to the wide receivers. They don't handle that well. Lose focus.
Sanchez lives off play action, comin off his last step in the drop he likes to fire on rhythm, with our Dline and their running game we can't bite, let the front 7 take care of their business, and the secondary do their..
Gotta make sure to take care of the ball in the first half and hopefully the heat will get to them in the 2nd half and Phins can capitalize again. Dolphins may finally have the heat advantage again. Defense hopefully gets turnovers, especially if Tebow touches the ball. Bad memories of the Bronco game.
Look, the Jets offense is poor, and Rex threw Sparano under the bus already with his quotes, which to me is bad because the head coach runs the team, you tell the OC what you want. But! The Jets will blitz often and our Oline has not handled pass blocking well at all. If we don't sure that up, Tanny will be running for his life. I also think that is why we saw so many rollout passes this past week.
I would not be shocked to see more of Tebow this game, especially considering that it's a divisional game and against Tony's former team, to boot. When the Jets go conventional on offense I would prefer we send pressure, because I don't know if we have the secondary that can hold up well if we can't generate a consistent pass rush.
You know how you see what you expect to see sometimes? When I read that I expected it to say he sucked when blitzed and I totally misread it. Good catch, thanks! Frankly, I'm relieved by that because our blitzes never reach the QB in time.
Their identity is as the bully. When you bully a bully, they lose their identity. That's why I want Sherman to send Javorskie Lane (our biggest bully) right at Bart Scott (their biggest bully) early on. We'll see who owns the yard.
Anytime Bart Scott is on the field, you have to feel good to some degree. He's a significant liability.
I can see Bush/Miller giving their Lb corps nightmares. Would like to see Thigpen get into that mix, but those are two good options to have in the passing game. In fact, I can see either one housing a Td from 40+.
I google imaged that thinking that it would be a ZT sister type situation. There are some things that cannot be unseen.
As strange as it may sound we are the least experienced team in our division facing the wildcat .Sparano just might relish the thought of unleashing it against us especially now that he has a genuine throwing threat out of it.
It isn't a ZT situation , ZT makes a better looking girl than Nick's sis . Really. Try to remove it from memory.
Lol. That's the best insult to a player I have ever heard. I wish we could get that into the NY media.
That was in a 3-4, blocking Paul straight up as an NT. See, now Nick will be handling Soliai AND Starks.
When asked why they didn't try to put points on the board before half (they had decent field position) he said I have no clue, ask the OC
Lol!!!! Classic Sparano, a la Henning! Oh Rex is gonna love Tony by years end. I guarantee Rex has already had an earful about player snap counts.
You know what will be the hardest thing about this week's game? Tony Sparano resisting the urge to fist pump when Dan Carpenter kicks a field goal.
