Was just thinking about matchups for this game....
We are going to have a tougher time running the ball against them but I don't think that means we won't be able to do it as long as we don't get behind and have to abandon the run. We were able to run vs Houston a bit until we got behind.
RT is going to have to be effective and efficient again. Especially on 3rd downs if we get stuffed vs the run on a couple series.
The Jets gave up a 56 yard TD run vs Buffalo and 169 yards but stiffened up vs Pit although they have injuries and backups at RB. Shift fast backs may give them trouble (Bush).
The Jets have not run the ball very well. Even against Buffalo the Jets passes more effectively (266 yards 3 td's). Stephen Hill had 2tds but was shut out vs the Steelers. The Jets leading rusher had 94/1. 3.4 ypc. Not bad not great.
Overall I think we match up well and I think the Jets are still inconsistent (hehe). I guess when your QB is inconsistent it rubs off on the rest of the team. Hopefully RT continues his ascension.
Sparano gets no beneficial info here. new offense new defense. Only thing he has is player insight of which he may be limited.
This would be a nice win to have (putting it lightlty). I think we have won 4 of the last 6 vs the Jets. (also knocked them out of the playoffs a few times
)
