here are my initial thoughts
1.Play field position. Jets thrive on their punt and kickof returns to not drive a long distance so its important to play good field position with miller and co.
2.Effective 1st down defense. Jets seem to use a a lot of short passing and quick runs with washington to keep the down and distance minimum for pennington. He is very effective in that kinda game and it becomes very important for us to get them stopped on first downs.
3.Related to above, limit YAC. which means we need to tackle better than we have done this season, without trying those upper body hits like samuel does it sometimes.
4.Offensively, start fast and play from ahead. Jets are good if the games are close but iam not sure how good they are coming back from 10-14 pt deficits.Of course start fast applies against any opponent but especially against the jets.A close game is an advantage to jets although i think it will be like that .
5.Run the ball more. Jets seem to be susceptible against run and we should just run it more and more .No need to try those cute reverses until needed.I feel a simpler game plan will be effective against this team than trying too many things.
6.Handle the blitzes. Last time we saw those free runners right up the middle to hit brady. We need to stop those.
7.As usual, key factor - turnovers . Protect the ball(yes watson you too).
8.Never been to gillette but i hope its LOUD this sunday..
