Jetster Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 If the NY Jets draft Fowler/Ray/Beasley at 6 they could overtake Seahawks as best defense in the league. Here was our starting Dline in 2010 Defensive linemen 70 Mike DeVito DE 94 Marcus Dixon NT 92 Shaun Ellis DE 50 Vernon Gholston DE 71 Jarron Gilbert DE 91 Sione Pouha NT 93 Trevor Pryce DE 96 Martin Tevaseu NT Talk about your hold the fort guys! Fast forward to 2015 & we have: Mo Wilkerson Sheldon Richardson Quinton Coples Damon Harrison Now, with our restocked secondary of Revis, Cro, Skrine, Gilchrist added to Pryor, AA, Williams, Milliner, McDougle we have incredible depth & versatility. We have Harris & Davis, so adding an OLB at 6 would be the icing on the cake. I also see us drafting an ILB at some point in the draft. Talent wise this 2015 team is way more talented at each position. This team is going to cause a lot more TOs & that in itself will help out the offense. Bowles must be jumping out of his skin to start coaching up this group. The depth is amazing compared to 2010 also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villain The Foe Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 It honestly depends on what our offense does. If we're able to score some points and make the other team one dimensional the we have a chance of having one of those all-time type defenses. Thats why the Hawks defense was so good. Their offense was running the ball effectively and then ending drives with touchdowns. If the Jets can do that I can see this defense displaying total dominance.

DaBallhawk Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 On paper it's a better defense now but we'll see how it plays out. Pouha was garbage early on, then he started to play really well. DeVito was a nobody. On paper nobody expected that group to be that good but it worked out. We'll see how these guys do this year but if they don't finish in the top 3 they will have underachieved bigtime. Mo is better than Pryce was. Sheldon is way better than Shaun. Snacks is way better than Pouha was. Our LB corps just isn't good. Pace is a backup, Babin is a backup. DD doesn't make any plays and Harris has about 2 good years left in him. We need some playmakers. Hoping we land Fowler and pair him up with IK to go after the QB. Up front you have Snacks & Mo inside with Coples & Sheldon on the outside. That's a stud defense on paper, our backfield not even included. So much potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdetroit Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 D-line is significantly better. I expect us to resign Snacks. We need a free safety but Brodney Pool in 2010 was a JAG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetster Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 I expect them to make some more moves at Linebacker. Depending on what they do in the draft, Pace or Babin will probably not make the roster. I'm going back to take a look at our LB group in 2010. 52 David Harris ILB 56 Lance Laury ILB 53 Josh Mauga ILB 97 Calvin Pace OLB/DE 57 Bart Scott ILB 99 Jason Taylor OLB/DE 58 Bryan Thomas OLB/DE 55 Jamaal Westerman OLB/DE Along with Harris & Davis, we need to have IK take the spot of Pace or Babin. Jets will definitely be taking an OLB & if he turns into a stud, we have enough on the Dline & in the secondary to really improve. From what I've been reading about Bowles big nickel look for us to draft a somewhat "smaller" really fast LB in the 230-240 range. Bowles likes to have guys that can fly around behind the line & make play or be able to slide out into coverage & take down RBs coming out of the backfield.

Jetster Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Here's the secondary group from this 2010 team: 34 Marquice Cole CB 30 Drew Coleman CB 37 Emanuel Cook SS 31 Antonio Cromartie CB 44 James Ihedigbo SS 26 Dwight Lowery CB 22 Brodney Pool FS 24 Darrelle Revis CB 33 Eric Smith FS 20 Kyle Wilson CB Revis & Cro are a lot older but they both played well last year. The POTENTIAL of the new guys is much higher than the rest of the guys on that list. The safeties were MUCH slower than the group we have now with Pryor-Gilchrist- AA Skrine is better than Wilson The huge question marks are Milliner & McDougle who would be the Cole & Coleman of that group. Milliner before injury was head & shoulders above those guys. McDougle showed flashes in camp & by most accounts was going to send Wilson or any of the scrubs other than Williams to the bench. Such a shame with McDougles injury, as he would have gotten a lot of reps last year. The defense ON PAPER is way better than in 2010 when they had their last great year on D. Bowles is lauded as a very good coach, I like the guy he brought in from Miami who have has a solid defense for a few years now. I hate to say it but I think Rex has the pcs up in Buffalo to have a kickazz defense too. I see Seahawks, Bills, Jets as the best defenses in the league next year. Only Hawks have a real QB. Many are talking about Miami because of the addition of Suh but they also lost Starks & Odrick? How does that make you better? It's not that easy to replace experience.

jetscrazey Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 The d-line and depth are way better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically starts and ends every honest discussion about these NY Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
