The Jets have been the number 1 defense these last 2 years and have an exceptional defense coached by Ryan who happens to be a very good defensive coach.
Their front 3 is very underrated even without Jenkins. David Harris,Bart Scott are studs. Cromartie is a pro bowler who even though flawed is a good cover corner. Revis also happens to be by far the best cornerback in the NFL and a perennial defensive player of the year candidate.
They are far more talented on defense than we are.
Wilfork,McCourty and Mayo are our only legit pro bowl caliber "impact" defenders.
During the only game that mattered....they constantly pressured Brady and had our receivers locked down and dared us to run at them(something that we had trouble with and being left in 3rd and long situations.)
After the draft it's seems alot of people are just hoping on Warren,Bodden returning to their high level of play after missing a year and that our young guys can make big strides. I hope that works out for us.
The mental disease continues. History shows that sustained reality will never unconvince people committed to really stupid ideas.
.....and if you watched the draft this weekend the analysts spent the weekend talking about how the Jets didn't have a "pass rusher"...
The Jets have a better secondary. With 7/8 in coverage they dared us to run. We didn't.
The Steelers did and won.
We just drafted two more RB's. Solution drafted.
If a pass rusher really mattered, Dallas would be #1 with Ware
Pittsburgh's defense wouldn't completely suck without Polamalu
Matthews wouldn't need untouched sacks (thanx secondary) to get stats.
This is a QB driven, you can never have too many good CB's league. BB and Rexy (to his credit) realize this.
Your "pass rusher" and pass rush will compliment and integrate.
The won area I would like us to "copycat" is the Giants and have four Dline that can get pressure. With Wright/Pryor/ T Warren, we have a good base.
Interesting how the pass rusher psychos will never realize that our best pass rushers were not available for the playoffs.
Now if we could only get to what should be expected of a unit comprised of rookies and second year players........
