2020 Defense

What the Jets have on defense is potential.  The defensive line is actually good, but can be much better if Q takes a step forward in year 2.

I agree that the Jets will not be a top 5 defense this year.  Top 10 defense if people can stay healthy, and if Moseley and Q can do well.

Add to that if a couple of our new CB's show something, then a top 10 defense will definitely be expected from myself.  We will only elevate to a top 5 defense if we can get a legitimate consistent pass rush, which is not expected this year.

Good post.

GW is good at disguising his coverages and manufacturing effective blitz packages.  But..

There's nothing like having a dominate beast on that DL...that can be a wrecking ball behind the LOS.  Jets definitely need a breakout season from QW.   He doesn't need to be a 10+ sack guy this year.  But at least be a 6-8 one.  Give Jets consistency with pressures and hits on the QB.  TFLs too.  Do all this while double teamed...will allow GW to scheme stunts and loops with other players more effectively.   

Zuniga has the potential...to somewhere down the road...give Jets 10+ sacks.  It will take some coaching and development to get there though.  But if QW is doubled...GW can definitely scheme Zuniga's speed and explosiveness to get some pressures-sacks-TFLs too.   I can also envision the speedy athletic Ashtyn Davis playing  hybrid roles...and being effectively involved as a situational pass rusher. 

Does anybody doubt Jenkins getting his usual 7-8 sacks a game?     

And a healthy Mosely...is simply an All Pro ILB.  One of the best in the game.  He was dominate in last year's opener against the Bills...before he got hurt.  

Bryce Hall is going to eventually be a starter if healthy.   Could've been no worse then a 2nd round pick.  A steal in the 6th!  He's a smart dedicated football player that can be utilized in different situations too.  He will definitely provide significant help to that secondary.   And may end up a starter before year's over.  Look out for him! 

A UFDA like Lamar Jackson can make this team too and have situational role possibilities that GW can utilize.  As a hybrid CB-S-blitzer.  Brent Huff is another one.  These guys are niche players can play useful roles.  That's why these guys were signed.  To compete for a spot on the team and provide situational roles for GW.  

IMO...this defense is top 10.  Can be top 5 if...QW-Zuniga-Davis-Hall-Etc. can live up to their abilities...and contribute according to them.

For sure...this D is going to be fun to watch.
