Jets likely down to just 2 RBs vs. Patriots
 

McKnight and Powell expected to miss this weeks game with injuries leaving just Shonn Greene and Rookie Jon Grimes left on the teams roster.

I Guess we can expect 58 passes from Sanchez but I would not be surprised to be Tebow lining up at FB.

With both secondaries in deep despair,It's going to be a game filled with lots of passing for sure.

If I was the Pats DC I would tee off on Sanchez with the D-line, have Spikes spy the RB and play 5 and 6 DBs the entire game.

Bad news for the pats. The last thing we want is Sanchez throwing the ball all over the place.

This should confirm that Tebow won't be a factor. It's a lot harder for him to do his stuff when he doesn't have a fast RB who can threaten the corner on the sweep.

Lets see..Jest plan: Wing it down field... :(. Tebows best day, Sanchez best day. ..But pats win big. I think the corners have a good day. Finally

I'm not sure that's a bad thing for the Jets given the Patriots inability to defend the pass.

If Hightower's healthy, then IMO you have to have him, Spikes, and Mayo in the game as much as possible. The talent gap between Hightower and whoever would be on the field as the dime back (Dowling and Moore?) is just too large.

man do the jets have a **** ton of injuries

Well I'm sure Jets fans want them to have O running backs against us. That means Sanchez throws for 400 yds against our JV trash squad and Brady will be in the high 300yds like he always is with Welker getting 15 catches and Lloyd getting the occasional "wow" grab tippy toeing out of bounds. We'll probably have a 2-6 point lead with 2 minutes left(as usual one of those odd number leads that has defense choke written all over it).

Jets will score with 45 ticks left, the media will say Sanchez is coming of age, and then we'll have the ball and throw a bunch of deflected passes to Deion Branch after Welker has a 200 yd day. :)

They look to be without Pouha and his back up Kendrick Ellis. The Pats should run the ball at will too.
