Scott Dierking Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Totally agree, but in addition to that strong defense, you also need a defensive line that can pressure the other qb and make him make bad decisions and give him less time. What the Rams have with Donald and their defensive line gave an immobile qb like Brad very little. YES!!! Offense is is the way to go. But the D-line that gives the other qb fits is also a very good addition to that equation. Saleh has that part right in strategy. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JustInFudge Posted January 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2022 I think the emphasis on offense has been obvious for a long time, but the reality is, everyone is riding high off last night's game, but it was not indicative of the weekend, at all. Teams need balance and defense is still very important. 4 games played this weekend, 2 were low scoring defensive battles. San Fran won a playoff Football game without scoring an offensive TD. The Bengals and Titans scored in the teens. And the Rams defense completely stymied Brady. The only reason it was a game is because they kept handing them the ball in the 4th quarter and the Bucs scored 14 pts in the last 3 minutes. They were stuck on a whopping 13 pts until the Rams started letting them back in the game. That game was largely a blow out because of the constant pressure Brady was under. Yes, build an offense, you need to score and it's probably the more consistent way to win but defense is still very important and can win you a game from time to time. 15 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Michael Porter the best strategies are ones that involve doing something unique that your competition can’t replicate. The Jets will never beat teams like the Chiefs and Bills by trying to match them on offense. Wilson is not going be Allen and Mahomes-those guys are a different breed. I personally think the Jets best chance to contend is to build a nasty defense that will gives these guys problems and compliment that with an Efficient offense that consistently moves the chains. The Bills have a good defense, but they don’t really have game wreckers. Mahomes struggled against them early in the year and made adjustments this round.

Popular Post Lith Posted January 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2022 I agree that a great offense will beat a great defense in today's NFL. And given a choice between a great offensive playmaker and a great defensive playmaker, try to build the offense first. Especially with a young QB. Problem though is that this draft appears to lack offensive playmakers. Reaching for offense in the top 10 is how you end up drafting Corey Davis at 5, or Tavon Austin at 8, or John Ross at 9. Or Kevin White at 7. Just because we pick an offensive player does not mean he will have an impact.. If I thought this draft has an Amari Cooper or Julio Jones or AJ Green or Pitts/Waddle/Chase from last year, then absolutlely, take the offensive playmaker. A lot can change between now and April, but it does not appear this draft has that caliber of WR prospect. This is why I really hope that JD gets aggressive in the trade market. We are hearing that guys like Cooper, Metcalf, Ridley might be available in trade. We have plenty of assets to go get one of these guys. I don't think we can rely on this draft to get our #1, and I really don't want to be in position where we have to pass on a better prospect at another position because we are desperate for a WR. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawkeyeJet Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 The counter argument is that if the Chiefs had a pulse in the secondary that game doesn’t end in nearly the sensational fashion it did. Allen’s two late TDs are on two completely wide open, uncontested throws. Good on him for making the plays, but those last two minutes are just as much about pathetic defense as it is anything, but that doesn’t move the needle in discussion. I hope with everything that Wilson turns out to be an elite player. However, I’d rather build my roster like the Titans and Niners just in case he isn’t. I’d rather the QB be pretty close to the last piece of the puzzle rather than the 1st. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjasi Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I agree. The league is all about offense, and in particular, the passing game. Bring in as much talent as you can at WR/TE and continue to add depth to the line. Our offense can be good with a little commitment and some injury luck for a change. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not just Jets GMs. It’s the fact that the NFL in general sucks at picking QBs. Stop doing it! The organization continues to set itself back because they want to fulfill your vision of having this stud QB lead a wildly explosive offense. Just find good players and win games! I don’t need the product to look like the Chiefs. It can look like the 49ers too. If the Jets had used those resources to draft good players (offense and defense) instead of College QBs and instead found a viable veteran stopgap at QB, they would be much better off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy 2 Times Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Pass rushers are the only thing that matter once you build a great offense.

ScarletKnight89 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Agreed And the Jets have been trying to win with defense compounded by constantly drafting defensive lineman, middle linebackers, and safeties for the last 10 plus years lol.

NYJ37/12 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 If you have a top five qb where more than 20 percent of your cap is committed to him, you need to be all in on offense. If not, you need a balance or at the least a decent pass rush. Shutdown corners are worthless in this NFL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted the NFL is stacking the deck for more offense - however things are cyclical. Poor defensive performance and poor scheming was hard to believe last night. That to me was the real story of the game. The last 2 minutes and OT were almost farcical. That should never happen in the NFL where both teams not once but twice and a third time for the Bills fold like that. How many broken coverages did KC have - running into each other, wrs being left to run by defense backs uncovered, dBs falling on their asses. if there was one lesson learned- zone coverage is bye bye. You play man to man primarily. You cannot play NFL football like last night where basically accuracy of throws was not required - just get it out there. Actually the best play and pass last night was Allen’s pass on the 2 point conversion to make it 39-36. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBeardedSavage Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 The back seven players on defense are a waste of money. I don't want to hear about Sauce Gardner or Derek Stingley or Kyle Hamilton in this draft cycle. Cornerbacks are the biggest crypto-rug-pull in the sport today. And safety? We know how little they matter here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson clearly has the tools in toolbox, that's painfully obvious. It's a matter of having the materials for those tools, along with someone to teach him how to master using them. It's been done for Allen as we see, no reason it can't be done for Wilson, save ineptitude by those buying the materials and providing instruction, of course.

Wilson is totally in the same mold as Allen and Mahomes talent wise. Give him weapons and try and outscore them. The Bengals just beat the Chiefs a few weeks ago. The only reason the Niners/Packers game was low scoring was due to weather. That being said, DLine can wreck a game. All premium resources should go to offense and edge. Later picks and FA can go to filing needs on D. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doitny Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 we might have no choice but to have a great defense. right now i dont think Wilson will be a great as Allen and Mahomes. doesnt mean we need a new QB. look how far we went with Sanchez. Jimmy G is not a great QB. and he beat the best offense in Dallas and another great one in GB. SF is 13th in points and a win away from the SB. the top 3 teams in points Dallas. TB, and Buffalo are out. yes we need a great offense but we need a great Defense too. i think its encouraging that SF the team that Saleh came from is one win away from the SB. that strategy he is trying to do here works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenFish Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Per Defensive DVOA, the Bills were the number 1 defense and KC was the number 24 defense. By any measure the Bills had the top defense actually. There was no material defense between KC’s defense and Buffalo’s defense in yesterday’s game. They could have switched defenses and the outcome likely is the same. Jets offseason - 1) Spend all meaningful resources on offense until we can say, the offense is complete. 2) If offense is complete, patch up the defense with mid tier FA’s and a draft pick here and there.

Use premium resources on pass rush - and then all offense. Do your best to build the best D you can but use the bulk of premium cap and picks on O... I'm really just not sure how much difference good corners, safeties and LB's can make these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
