I don't agree. Except for that blown coverage by the safeties on the OBJ touchdown, the Jets controlled a very talented Browns offense, especially in the second half. I was surprised to see that the Jets won time of possession. The Jets got to Mayfield nine times. Don't sleep on that defense.
If CJ Moseley and Quinnen Williams can play on Sunday, that defense is even better. The Jets are built like the Patriots in their front seven. Lots of versatile LBs and DLs. They lined up all over the formation and varied who dropped into coverage and who rushed. They showed a lot of sophisticated looks and kept Mayfield guessing.
Yes, the D has been a bright spot. Edge rushers aren't anything special though. Likely below average. They rely on a very good middle of the D (when Mosely plays) with some big fatties on the dline. Then creative blitz packages. Usually with Adams trying to kill the QB.
Problem is, if any QB can sniff out the blitzes, it's Brady. He'll have the ball out in 2 seconds for a 12 yard gain almost every time.
If Falk can't help keep NE's offense off the field a bit... it's gonna be a bloodbath.
