Popular Post BettyBoop Posted November 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 22, 2019 The Jets defense has recorded 12 sacks in the last two games while getting only 13 in their previous eight. What is the reason for the jump? Well two things. In the last two games Bless Austin and Arthur Maulet played outside CB while Trumaine, Roberts, Hairston and others manned those spots. Bless and Maulet have been a revelation back there allowing more time for the front seven to attack the QB. The opponents were the Giants and the Redskins, not exactly juggernauts. However, in the Giants other eight games the G-Men allowed 3.8 sacks/game and the Redskins allowed 3.25 sacks/game. So the Jets were doing something right. I think this tells us a few things. If Douglas can find two capable CB next year, the defense will improve drastically. Perhaps Bless can be the #2 CB if he stays on the field and Maulet may be a key reserve. Two huge gets for next season. Perhaps Sheppard, Fotokasi and Phillips can be the core (with Q) of a solid DL rotation. If so, it's another $3.5mm cap savings by cutting McClenndon. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Goodman Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 All good points. I’d add that Jamal Adams has been wreaking havoc. When he comes full speed from the outside, both OT’s and RB’s are going to have trouble even slowing him down. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe W. Namath Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 This is who we are. I was very disappointed that against the better teams, we have gone conservative on d. Rushing 4 against the pats 2 straight games was pathetic. Keep the pressure on greg. We might get beat deep a few times but thats ok. We are dictating what we do.

I would not want to cut McClenndon as he is the only one with experience and I think is one of the leaders of the defense.

(way more so than mcclown was for sam, cos he can actually play the position well.) On March 14, 2019, McClendon re-signed with the Jets.[4] He signed a one-year contract extension on October 12, 2019 through the 2020 season.[5] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be awesome if it continues. The most laughable thing is the pure irony. After what seems like decades of wasting draft capital and huge amounts of salary cap on the D-Line while virtually TOTALLY neglecting the Offensive side of the ball which of course resulted in a lopsided, strangely configured team, which actually wasn't all that great on defense, outside of a couple of years, and the unit most invested in, the D-Line really never got all that much pressure on QB's. Now, suddenly, with a D-Line put together from what appears to be almost "loose change found on a sidewalk", the current Jet D-Line is performing better than most coming before it over the last 2 decades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. IF Bless and Maulet can be relied upon as capable #2 and #3 CB next year, that's a huge bonus for Douglas. Instead of having to find three new CB, he "only" will need to find one. HUGE. Bless may ultimately turn out to be a legit #1, but it would be foolish to assume that going into 2020. Under these circumstances that would leave only one more spot to be filled on the defense; a OLB/pass rusher and there are several decent options available in free agency. Imagine having the "anti-Mac" draft of virtually all OL! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't get a sack then the Raiders are overly focused on him and I think others on the Jets we eat some lunch....maybe Jenkins, Anderson, perhaps QW. What's being done right now by Gregg Williams with an exceptionally talented, multi-dimensional defender like Adams on an otherwise bad defense is incredible. I know the Hyperbole Police come out when someone tries to compare Adams to Ed Reed or cites that Jamal has more sacks than Khalil Mack, but so what. I'll take it a step further....Jamal is being moved around and used in so many different ways that it reminds me of what Belichick was doing with Lawrence Taylor in the early 80's before opponents caught on. LT was such a dynamic, unstoppable force as a blitzing LB that offenses, particularly Bill Walsh's 49ers, had to innovate and change blocking schemes, leave tailbacks in to block, turn tailbacks into pass-catchers to force the OLB to hesitate on a pass rush, etc. No, Jamal Adams isn't LT, but there is no place on the field that Jamal Adams doesn't come from....the deep Safety spot creeping up, lining up at the LOS outside and sliding over to blitz up the middle on Dak's 2-point conversion attempt, jumping over the offensive line to grab Daniel Jones from behind, and of course outside blitzes. This has been fun to watch and I'm really curious as to whether Oakland stays base against him or truly gameplans to try to neutralize him. One last thought on the Raiders O vs the Jets D - I think the game comes down to the following 4 people. How successful are TE Darren Waller and RB Josh Jacobs in comparison to S Jamal Adams and DT Quinnen Williams? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, I have seen plenny blitzes by ADAMS where he doesnt get home and we give up huge chunks. I fear he gets stonewalled by their blocking FB/TE..and then we got one of our slow LBs getting scorched upfield. I get a sneaky suspicion that he wont blitz Adams much... try to use him as a "decoy" blitzer. The last bit I quoted is most interesting to me.

Maybe if it happened more often, and perhaps against a good team, we'd give him more credit. As is stands its real hard to get excited about Jamal being a "game changer" for a 3-7 team while Deshaun Watson is an MVP candidate. He has 11.5 career sacks, 6 FF's, 4 FR's, 2 INT and 2 career TD's. You make it seem like he does amazing stuff every week. Even if you take all those "impact numbers", that's about once every other game where he's doing something impactful....but you fanboys forget there's a tradeoff: He's constantly a step slow in coverage, and his free-lancing at the LOS puts the pass D at risk overall (hence why we're well below average in pass coverage as a unit). He's not a transcendent talent. He's a good linebacker who sometimes covers people. The mental gymnastics are coming from you guys on this one.

There will always be a guy "who should have been taken" before any player. Is it hard to get excited about Sam Darnold because Quenton Nelson is a Pro Bowler? Do you dislike Jordan Jenkins because Tyreek Hill was taken a round later? This whole idea of being critical of our Pro Bowl defender because Mike Maccagnan couldn't assess how good Deshaun Watson or Patrick Mahomes would be is asinine quite frankly. It's hard to get excited about a bad 3-7 team that has an atrocious OLine and no cornerbacks, but Jamal Adams is probably the ONLY thing we've had to be excited about this year. If only Jamal could play Left Tackle or get more than the 3.3 yards per rush Bell has gotten....maybe we'd be .500. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
