It would seem that the Pats not having to double him in the middle frees a lineman to block elsewhere. Agree?
The biggest problem, as stated elsewhere, will be the crowd noise and communicating play changes (based on what Brady sees in the Jet's D) to the
rest of the team. Confusion and miscommunications are sure to happen on a few of the plays. Let's hope it doesn't result in getting TB killed.
Home field advantage is actually THAT..moreso than Pats HFA @ Gillette.
To my untrained eyes, Jenkin's absence did not result in a noticeable drop off of the defense's performance. Then again these things tend to take a game or two to show.
Jenkins went down on Baltimore's second possession. This is a most unusual comment.i saw a bit of a drop off. while he did not play great, flacco started making more completions once jenkins went down. the ravens oline simply could not handle jenkins.

They were fine without Jenkins last year, they'll be alright without him.
Jenkins played in six games last season before being placed on injured reserve after tearing the ACL in his left knee late in the Jets' Week Six loss to the Buffalo Bills. In those six games, New York allowed 215 yards on 72 rushes up the middle, an average of 3.0 yards per carry (fifth-best in the NFL through six weeks). With Jenkins out of the lineup, opponents averaged 3.4 yards per rush on carries up the gut and were more successful at moving the chains when rushing up the middle.
