Jetman55 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york-jets/post/_/id/54978/redskins-will-try-to-bully-jets-in-the-trenches-on-both-sides-of-ball Redskins will try to bully Jets in the trenches on both sides of ballFLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Highlighting two players who figure to have integral roles for the New York Jets when they face the Washington Redskins on Sunday:Breno Giacomini, right tackle: He called the Redskins "one of the top defenses in the league," and it starts up front. These dudes are huge; they're the defensive version of the Hogs. Nose tackle Terrance Knighton is 354 pounds, left end Chris Baker is 325 and right end Jason Hatcher a svelte 299. Washington's base front is a 3-4, so Giacomini will see a lot of Baker and outside linebacker Ryan Kerrigan. He and Baker are tied for the team lead with 3.5 sacks apiece.The Redskins have the lowest blitz percentage in the league (11.4 percent of dropbacks), but they're 11th in sack percentage. So what does that tell us? It tells us they generate pressure with a conventional, four-man rush. Their run defense is Jekyll-and-Hyde. After allowing only 78 rushing yards per game in the first four games (second in the league), they were gashed last week by the Atlanta Falcons (176 yards). The Falcons did it with finesse, not power, stretching the defense horizontally with zone runs. The Jets aren't a zone team, so they'll have to rely on power. They need a strong game from Giacomini, who packs a wallop when he's on his game.David Harris, linebacker: He's not 100 percent, still feeling the effects of the strained quadriceps he brought home from London. Harris is vital to the defense, especially against a power-running offense like the Redskins. No revelation here: Washington will try to pound the rock. They have the second-highest rush percentage (44) in the league, according to ESPN Stats & Information. Their production has dipped since Week 2, but they'll stick to it, trying to reduce the burden on quarterback Kirk Cousins.Harris is a tone setter for the Jets. He also could be targeted in the passing game. Cousins likes to throw to change-of-pack back Chris Thompson, and we all know the Jets' linebackers aren't great in pass coverage. The Jets say Thompson reminds them of Darren Sproles, and that could be a problem. Harris and fellow inside 'backer Demario Davis could be in a heap of trouble if they're in single coverage against Thompson, who has 17 catches.

Jetlife33 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Looks like Breno is going to have his hands full. I know Winters did well last week but I hope Colon is well enough to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgb Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 this is a game SOJ comes out flat and loses embarassingly. especially after the uptick in positive press this week. let's hope Bowles has truly changed the culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think defensively we will be more than fine. Cousins doesn't scare me with or without D-Jax. Hopefully we can muster some points together and get out of town with a 4-1 record.

jetscrazey Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 they should take Harris out of the Nickel package this week if he can't run 100%. Need him as healthy as possible for the New England game too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we can muster some points together and get out of town with a 4-1 record. Outside of the Pats, there really isn't a game this year I won't be saying this (20 points is the most I expect this defense to give up) But we have to score...If the 'skins shut down the running game - fitz in in trouble. Can the Jets score 20 points? That's my concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LurkerKing Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I would really like to see us adapt our gameplay and run it laterally, rather than smash our heads against a wall, but I can see us running it up the gut for 1yd all day long.

And especially because I'll be there...haha He had the team come out like gang busters in London. Hopefully 2 weeks of focus on the Redskins, they get out to another fast start. Starting flat was an issue the first few games, definitely wasnt the case vs. Miami. Hopefully the begins a trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 A team run by Dan Snyder fails to intimidate. The game won't be easy but they have zero reason to be pounding their chests. This was a franchise that got embarrassed by the Texans on HBO when DeAndre Hopkins broke DeAngelo Hall's ankles (literally). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we can muster some points together and get out of town with a 4-1 record. I tend to agree. Cousins has put up better numbers than one might realize, and he's taken care of the ball a little better than usual... but at the end of the day, I think he's going to make big mistakes. We just need to hope he makes more big mistakes than Deep Ball Fitzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
