I mentioned coaching and player talent in several posts. More specifically, in terms of why I think the Jets will be good THIS coming season. The D is stacked and should again be #1 in the league again. Please feel free to argue that. I'm sure you'll argue the FACT that the Jets were the best D in the league last year. They got stronger this year with the addition of Cromartie (yes he is better than anyone who played #2 cb last year) and Wilson (yes, he is a rookie, but I think he will be a good one, time will tell), I think Taylor adds a pass rush where the Jets did not have one last year (I'm really not sure how good he will be, but he should be an improvement. As to the offense, that is a bit more of a wildcard. I'm not thrilled with the loss of TJ, Faneca, or Washington. I do think that Greene can replace TJs production well, but TJ was a leader and that is not easily replaced. I hated seeing Washington go. He brought game-breaking ability that is very hard to replace. But, I'm really not sure what his leg would have been like this year. I like LT and hope he has something left (we'll see), but I would not have swamped him for TJ. I don't think the Oline is as good without Faneca, but he is on the decline. Hopefully one of the other guys step up. Overall, I thnk the #1 rushing game in the league takes a step back, but not a significant one. Hopefully, and I do think realistically, that step back is countered with a much-improved WR corp. Hines, even with a 4-game suspension, clearly adds a lot. Cotch is solid, and if Edwards can find his hands, that is a solid group there. Sanchez should be better. I emphasize should, because we all know that the 2nd year is not always easy for a QB. But, I think (maybe some hope in there) he will be better. Specials are a wash in my opinion. Last year specials were not a strength for the Jets as they typically have been in recent years past. So, overall, I think this is an improved team over the one that fared well in the playoffs last year. This leads to my optomism.
