Harlemnite1 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 23 hours ago, RSJ said: Kind of makes me think the Jets could make a play for JPP in free agency and move to a 4-3. It would be a great 4-3 front if they were to add someone like JPP. Bout time they move to that. If you are drafting DL every year and running a 3-4 you are in the wrong defense alignment. A 4-3 will generate more pressure and now we will have to find a way to trade Lee because no way is he a 3-4 or 4-3 linebacker. There are safeties bigger than him.

DMan77 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Sounds official... Fired by the Browns after one year... Has coached for another 5 teams in his career. He's definitely a "veteran" coach, for whatever that's worth. I agree with the idea of a 4-3... Nunn has run a 4-3 just about everywhere he's gone... It actually sounds to me like he didn't want anything to do with the 3-4 that Cleveland was trotting out there... So it's interesting. Maybe they're looking to switch it up? https://www.sny.tv/jets/news/jets-hire-robert-nunn-as-defensive-line-coach/214155934 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Gm just spent the last two years drafting 3-4 linebackers. Our coach is a tool who has no clue what he wants to run, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I know. I'm kind of just hoping that TB is learning too here as only a 2 year HC, and as he sits back and looks at things maybe makes the decision to focus on one or the other... I know there's not a damn thing that gives any indication of that, but with how badly things went I hope he's willing to evaluate himself...

LIJetsFan Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 http://www.ganggreennation.com/2017/1/24/14369010/ny-jets-who-made-drive-ending-tackles-in-2016 Not all tackles are created equal. A tackle to stop a play for no gain is different from one where the runner drags the defender 5 yards before going down. Similarly, a tackle by a cornerback after a completion to allow a first down is different from a third down stop. I wanted to take a look at which players made drive ending tackles for the Jets in 2016. The defense obviously wasn't very good, but were there any standouts? Fortunately, Pro Football Reference's Play Index is our friend. I sorted out tackles made by Jets defenders short of the sticks on third and fourth down. It shows that Sheldon Richardson at least had some success in this isolated area. Player Tkl Sheldon Richardson 7 Leonard Williams 6 Calvin Pryor 5 Rontez Miles 5 David Harris 4 Buster Skrine 4 Darron Lee 3 Jordan Jenkins 3 Darrelle Revis 3 Juston Burris 2 Muhammad Wilkerson 2 Jarvis Jenkins 2 Antonio Allen 1 Deon Simon 1 Marcus Gilchrist 1 Doug Middleton 1 Bruce Carter 1 Lorenzo Mauldin 1 Mike Catapano 1 Erin Henderson 1 Steve McLendon 1 How does this stack up with the rest of the league? Here are the NFL leaders in drive-ending tackles according to the Play Index. Player Tkl Preston Brown 19 Sean Lee 18 Zach Orr 16 Miles Killebrew 15 Nigel Bradham 13 Tahir Whitehead 13 Kwon Alexander 13 Jerrell Freeman 12 Korey Toomer 12 Christian Kirksey 12 Keenan Robinson 12 Daniel Sorensen 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Harper Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Let's see: Fired from Cleveland. Worst run D in the league. Okay, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
