darook Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 These 3 are questionable for Philly this Sunday. If one or any of them can't play we are at a huge disadvantage. I saw the the thread about playing a trapped animal and I agree. Philly is fighting for their lives this weekend. We need all hands on deck to smash this bird. All this being said and not to totally concede this game, but I would be in favor or resting these guys if needed for this game as we are currently 2-0. The next game against the fish is much more important than this out of division/out of conference game. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FidelioJet Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 You could also take the position of, get through these next two weeks and then you have the bye to get these guys better. This is a winnable game (by no means a lock) If the guys can go they should play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Powell will be fine if ivory cant go. williams will be fine if revis cant go. kerley will step up if decker cant go. jets win! Yep...the depth on this team means it's not as big of a deal as in years past if somebody has to miss a game or two. Eagles can't block up front so they're gonna' try to get the ball out in a hurry. As long as the tackling is there, the Jets will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouisvilleSlugger25 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Revis will play. Ivory will probably play and Decker is questionable. The eagles already lost Alonso, the guy they traded Mccoy for. Everyone has injuries. Unless we lost Fitz and had to play Petty, there is no excuse. Plus everyone forgets that we have gone 2-0 without one of the best players in all of football. Next man up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had me until Williams will be fine if Revis can't go. I know Williams has flashed a bit, but make no mistake about it, there is a huge drop off between Revis and everyone else on planet earth. With Kerley I think he has something to prove, but I believe there is a huge drop off there as well. Wish I had your optimism. Hopefully you are right and I am wrong.

There is a huge dropoff, but who do the Eagles have that Williams can't cover. I don't think anyone expects Williams to be Revis, but every reason to expect him to be good enough to still get the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 There is a huge dropoff, but who do the Eagles have that Williams can't cover. I think Matthews would give him a lot of trouble. We'll likely need to put Skrine on Matthews, Cromartie on Agholor, and force them to beat us with Ertz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That dude can't block to save his life and he's been getting killed all week for it. I think Gilchrist should get Ertz but either way, the Jets cannot lose this game given these match-ups. Only way I see them losing is if there's a turnover for a TD and/or a ST TD for Philly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume a loss every single week, until about five minutes before kickoff and then I swear it's going to be a 48-0 Jets blowout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slgrayson1 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 If the front seven pressures Bradford as they did McCown/Manziel and Luck, whomever we have in the secondary will be able to handle the Eagles passing game and probably turn it over too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone expects Williams to be Revis, but every reason to expect him to be good enough to still get the win. All we need to do is get a couple hits on Bradford, and he will stop looking at his wide outs. No completions over 20 yards in 2 games Then he gets pulled for Sanchez, and then it gets fun.

Villain The Foe Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 How New York Jets Offense Can Be Successful Without Eric Decker By Erik Frenz, Featured Columnist Sep 25, 2015 SHARE TWEET NEXT ARTICLE » Use your ← → (arrow) keys to browse more stories Danny Wild-USA TODAY Sports 4.1K Reads 13 Comments Under Rex Ryan, the New York Jets offense took on the personality of its head coach: smashmouth, "ground and pound" football meant to pummel its opponents into submission. Under Todd Bowles, the coach's influence seems to be having an effect on the offense once again, only this time the result is an aggressive but calculated strike. Make no mistake, both Bowles and Ryan are defensive-minded coaches, but their approaches are much different. That being said, with wide receiver Eric Decker suffering a knee injury against theIndianapolis Colts, Bowles may have to think like Ryan on the offensive side of the ball. Decker did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday, and although he may be able to play Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Jets have to be prepared for the possibility that he won't be 100 percent. The Jets passing offense has soared to new heights on the strength of the one-two punch that features Decker and Brandon Marshall at the wide receiver position, as we saw on Monday night when the two combined for a monster performance. Marshall will still be out there, but the Jets might have to look elsewhere for the missing production on offense if Decker is unable to play. The knee-jerk reaction is to get running back Chris Ivory as many carries as he can handle, but Ivory injured his quad in practice last Wednesday. He was limited last week leading into the Jets' Monday night game, but he hasn't been able to practice this week at all. Running back Zac Stacy made his debut on the active game-day roster last week due to concern over Ivory's groin and the Jets' lack of depth at running back. "He's sore. He's real sore," said Bowles, "but treatment wise, we'll see how the week goes, but he's sore." Backup running back Bilal Powell has been effective this year, so he could be the top back with Zac Stacy sliding in as his backup. But what about the passing game? It would be just as easy to pin the tail on the next receiver on the depth chart. With Decker out, maybe someone like Chris Owusu could step up and be a key receiver this week. Owusu is dealing with a knee injury of his own, though, and has already been ruled out for Week 3. Even with a thin group of wide receivers, the Jets should think about focusing on the passing game this week against the Philadelphia Eagles. Thus far, the Eagles' opponents have rushed for just 3.1 yards per carry (fourth-lowest in the NFL) but have earned 7.5 net yards per pass attempt through the air (10th-highest in the NFL). Sure, part of the reason may be that they've faced two talented passers in Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. Neither team features a particularly fearsome running attack, either. Who should be the No. 2 receiver if Eric Decker can't play? Quincy EnunwaJeremy KerleySUBMIT VOTE vote to see results But both Eagles cornerbacks Byron Maxwell and Nolan Carroll have been exposed this year. According to Pro Football Focus, Carroll has allowed a reception on seven of the nine throws into his coverage (77.8 percent) for 74 yards, while Maxwell has yielded a catch on 15 of the 19 throws into his coverage (78.9 percent) for 240 yards and two touchdowns. It's right about now that the Jets are glad they hung onto receivers like Quincy Enunwa, and even Jeremy Kerley. Enunwa has the size and positional versatility to fill in for Owusu as the interchangeable receiver between the boundary and the slot, and although Kerley is pretty much exclusively a slot receiver, he could be a valuable player in Week 3 in the right matchups. For other teams, this might be a time when the offense would shift to more of a two-tight end look. Unfortunately, the Jets just don't have the manpower at tight end to make that switch. Jeff Cumberland and Kellen Davis haven't even combined to play two-thirds of the Jets' offensive snaps this season. The Jets don't have a whole lot of options. It's going to be up to the backup receivers to step up if Decker has to step down for a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJoe12 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I think we just need to cross our fingers that Bradford stays healthy and they don't put The Mark Sanchez in. I know Juncguy feels me on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darook Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 Per Ian Rapaport Decker is out. Vegas only has us 2.5 favorites( not even the full 3 for being at home). I love the optimism around here, but I'm more nervous for this game than I've been in a while. Just don't feel good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
