Please post all of your insightful thoughts, viewpoints, breakdowns, dissertations, observations, scrutiny, rants, raves, and knee-jerk reactions about the DEFENSE right here.








Have at it ... just keep in mind that anything you say can and will be used against you at a later point in time.

Is this defense better than in the past, "bend but dont break" ?

Really, Patricia & BillB needs to sit down and talk... I mean, good grief. Will
our D be near worst again by end of season?

Wide open Hill & Keller in many plays, today....

The patriots didnt win that game, the jets gave it away.

Once again the 4th qtr up 2 scores, the O couldnt seal it, and the D couldnt make a stop.

Giving up a 96 yard TD drive to Mark Sanchez is inexcusable. I keep hoping they'll improve, at times they look ok, but Christ am I tired of these 4th quarter debacles.

Other than the 92 yard TD drive, they didn't play horrendous. They had inconsistent pressure, but the coverage was miles better than the last couple of weeks. The Hightower sack in the 4th was a good showing of the DBs covering the Jets receivers.

The defense is just as inept as the offense

One of the Jets fans on my Facebook feed is whining that the Sanchez fumble should have a been an incomplete pass via the Tuck Rule. I can't remember from the replay, did he pump and then pull the ball back in?

No, tell your friend he's an idiot.

The D needs a fresh injection of outside coaching (at every level). I can't accept that so many players can collectively suck together under the tutelage of an all time great coach.

PATSYLICIOUS

Right now, it actually looks worse than last year, even with Chandler Jones being as good as he's been.

Mark Snatchez and a bunch of JAG WR's was abusing our secondary. To say it needs work is an understatement. Interested to see if Dennard progresses and/or if Dowling can become a starter caliber CB. Hard to blame the pass rush for this one, I recall multiple plays where we did get good pressure on Snatchez and he still tossed it easily to somebody wide open. If a QB can get that comfortable against a garbage secondary, I think even a good pass rush can't neutralize that.

The run defense is fine.
