I thought this was an interesting look back at the 2010 New York Jets. Forget the fact that it was written by a New York newspaper; Andy Benoit is a fairly objective and intelligent sports writer.
2010 Jets: What the Film Revealed | The Fifth Down | The New York Times | 4/14/2011
Jets' offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer catches a lot of heat, especially by Jets fans, but according to Benoit he did a very good job last year; in fact, he believes he'll be a head coach very soon. On the other hand he feels the Jets were able to put together long drives in spite of, not because of Mark Sanchez - an assessment which 99% of this board will agree with. Their offensive line was highly productive because of Nick Mangold; his dominance made the rest of the line better. He even gave passing grades to Matt Slauson.
Benoit goes on to criticize the Jets defense of not creating enough big plays, and says the late season loss of Jim Leonhard disrupted their sub-packages. He was surprisingly very positive about Antonio Cromartie, who despite his deficiencies in tackling excelled in man coverage.
