section314 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I’ve had tix for 42 years, and have been a jet fan for about 55 years. Sitting there today, with that absolutely putrid effort, I can honestly say this is by far the worst Jets defense I can ever remember. It begs the question…..are our defensive coaches horrible , or do our defensive players just out and out suck? Personally, I say the coaches stink, but interested to hear what others feel. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This defense is totally dependent on the pass rush. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandy Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 We have a talent deficient roster due to constant mishaps over the last decade, leading to us tearing down a team that wasn't even good in the first place, and our beginning rebuild has been more offensive centric. Much talent in key areas are either not very talented, or too raw to capitalize on their talent. There may also be an issue of preparation to top it off. Our D still has no answers to underneath receivers, and screen passes. To sum it up, it's probably a level of failure on all levels. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Goodman Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I posted this in the game thread, but I’m not agreeing with the claims that Saleh’s cover-3 can perform with plug-and-play late round picks/UDFA’s. Along with two new safeties, I think a stud corner is a big need. And I’d find it tough to pass on Stingley from LSU if he’s there with either of the Jets 2022 1st round picks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My recollection is the Eagle starters pretty much owned the Jets DL during both the joint practices and their 2's were better in the last pre-season game. I also seem to recall we couldn't cover a screen pass or a TE then either... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't get to the QB. There is the problem. I saw Minshew at least 4 times today run around looking for someone open, and still had to throw it away...WITHOUT getting sacked. We haven't been able to get to the QB for years. Its time this team spends resources until they have at least two guys that can get there consistently. Until then, this defence will continue to stink. We would could have Darrelle Revis, Aaron Glenn, James Hasty, Ty Law (in his heyday), Ronnie Lott (in his heyday), Erik McMillan, and Kerry Rhodes all back there and it won't matter when a QB gets seven seconds to throw, compared to a league average of around 2-3.5 seconds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, with that philosophy, I hope they can all cover their assignments for 7-10 seconds, because without a pass rush, that is what it will take.

Popular Post Lith Posted December 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2021 I honestly do think it is a little bit of both. Plus injuries in key spots -- especially safety where we lost both starters. Our secondary is all first and second year players. Our LBs struggle in coverage. And when our DL does not get a pass rush, it is ugly. Sure seems like the back 7 is struggling with the scheme - so many guys are wide open against us that it has to be more than just a talent issue. Just looking at today's game, it was the backs and TEs that killed us. WRs had 6 receptions all game. CBs are doing a decent job, but we are getting killed by TEs and backs out of the backfield. Guys covered by LBs and safeties. Those spots desperately need to be upgraded in the draft. And FA. 7 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on the actual draft order take Stingley and one of the Edge rushers. If not get one of the three and trade back the one pick.

RoadFan Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I think the defense has a handful of good players. Much like the offensive line, they are playing an entirely new system. The OL began to get it much quicker than any of us expected. The defense, on the other hand, is still trying to figure it out… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doitny Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 easy fix. we just need to draft a Tackle or a Center with our 1st rd picks. hell lets draft them both. btw that was sarcasm. its both personal and scheme. you see these screen plays were there is nobody near the receiver. bad defense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 In a 32 team league with the top teams winning multiple times, the odds are the Jets, with clueless owners, won’t win a championship in decades, if ever again. they are year’s behind the Bills and cheaters, they won’t win the division in the next 7 years or so. the answer is to lower your expectations to being entertained, even if it’s a gallows humor form of entertainment. i feel bad for the guys in their 20 s and 30s, it hurts at that age. at my age, 54, it’s annoyingly predictable but I don’t lose sleep over it anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Werblin Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Coaches are installing a particular D system. They do not have all of the necessary parts to run their system effectively, and do not want to modify the system to the players abilities (or lack thereof). They are basically telling the players to sink or swim (and several are sinking). 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undertow Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I think this is what it looks like when a coach is married to a system and the players don't fit.

NIGHT STALKER Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Two things going on. New scheme and a bunch of young players. If we had more of a veteran group, I think (the word "think" with the Jets is dangerous) they would have adapted better to Ulbrich's scheme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
