The Jets Irony

Recommended Posts

The jets ironically give up more through the air than they do the ground with a #2 rush defense. Their air defense is ranked a lowly 24th. What should be the game plan offensively?

Do we stubbornly try to grind it out on the ground? Or do we speed up the tempo to negate their dline and test out their secondary?

It isn't as if we haven't been balanced to this point, but a game where we get the passing game in sync could be used.

 

 

We tried last night for the first time in a while to pretty consistently take deep shots down the field and we just didn't have the personnel playing at the level they needed to be for it. With Byron bell unable to even stand in the way of his man and our receivers not doing much to get open, along with occasion Cam blunder when those two other facets do finally pan out (seldom) we really don't have the ability to drive down the field as much as we have in years gone by.

 

a game where we can get into a rhythm doing so would do well for this team-but the jets front 7 is nothing to squawk at

A good rush defense against standard rushing attack is one thing but how are they against scrambling QBs? I think Cam will be able to get the rushing game going with his legs if we struggle with our RBs...and of course that'll open up things against their pass defense. But as mentioned above, we have to control the clock and get into a rhythm offensively so the defense will have to do its job.

This is a tough game. We need to run the ball to keep them honest. I wouldn't count on Cam running wild on a Rex Ryan D. That Cam scrambling stuff works against less athletic lines. I'm not sure who is healthy for the Jets but they are talented enough to catch him. I would favor the pass but you can't become one dimensional.

The same Jets that beat the team we were just blown out by. Not to mention the lesser Ryan shut down our offense. We got his brother this week

And I am sure the Ryan brothers will have a good and long talk this week over the phone, if ya know what I mean.

Your right didn't think about that. This game will come down to if we get bad Geno or good Geno. If even average Geno shows up we could be in trouble if we aren't putting up points.

    • Cards weren't really blitzing that much the entire game.  The ones they sent just wrecked Bryce.  My opinion is you are over fixated on what happened as we got close to the goal.   The one possession we had in the 3rd quarter? That was a freebie to get down there.  It was literally just checkdowns to the TE when we weren't running the ball down... 24 taking up the entire quarter.  Next quarter Cards were inviting the exact same behavior.  Which is why they were both clock eating small ball 14 play drives. 
    • I don't think they changed as much as you think between the INT and the final sack (immediate pressure with 4 linemen). They definitely stopped blitzing as much, if a blitz means rushing more than the front 4/5. They definitely did some exotic packages where they sent LBs/DBs and dropped linemen into coverage though. The fumble and INT were both blitzes. And yes they were successful. And yes, I agreed with Bryce not taking care of the ball. Really not many answers on those plays - just take the sack and live another play (unless you're Lamar). Which he didn't do. And no, you can't run prevent on the goal line. What's prevent defense to you? Alignment, personnel, cushion, etc.? Just curious. My reply was to the post that they sat back in some soft zone the whole game - until the end, when it mattered. That's not true. They blitzed, they disguised coverages and blitzers, they pressed, they bailed, they covered the flats, all of that. Not trying to argue. Just trying to inform. Actually they only blitzed once on the final drive, and the DB got away with a bad hold on Tremayne. Otherwise looked like it would have been a completion for a first down. The Cardinals' final drive defense looked a lot like the rest of the game.  I know it's easy to get upset after a lose (I'm guilty), but Mondays are when cooler heads prevail. Right? Emotions can make us seem like we don't know what we're talking about. The Huddle isn't supposed to be that. I always saw it as a place to go discuss the Carolina Panthers with more than the casual fan, and their emotionally charged opinions. I can get that at the local grocery store, where they don't know anything about NC/SC, let alone the Panthers.
