Those are some nice names and in a bubble I'm sure that your argument works and the stats hold up. The defense has more to do with those wins and stats than the offense. In Sanchez's first season in 2009 he played behind the best Defense in the league allowing the lowest points and yards per game. in 2010 the Jets allowed the 3rd lowest yards and 6th lowest points per game. He's been blessed to have an awesome defense that has carried him. Also, I made my point without bolding or changing the font. Is it any wonder that the biggest supporter of Sanchez (Dilfer @ espn) played and won a superbowl in almost identical circumstances. I'm not drinking the koolaid on this one.
How about you try watching a 49er game?
The Jets had one of the best lines in the league the past 5 years. From what Ive seen they are probably below average but certainly not the worst in the league. Watch the first couple of SEA games to see truly bad O-line play.
I'm sorry Tanner you can throw around all the cute stats you want but he's just not a good QB...is he horrible? no but he doesn't have pocket awareness and while they've upgraded the wr's he's still the same QB. Shotty is terrible though and has to go.
So...the Jets line is merely bottom 5 instead of the absolute worst? Either way...the Jets RBs are being hit in the backfield half the time, and have no hole to run through 90% of the time.
But some people are slow and they just repeat things they've heard in the past.
But Jets fans said this line was going to be good. I asked that question about OL concerns before the season started. I agree though that the OL is wretched right now.
I love this post as it takes on a new meaning each week-Greene-Mangold injury-Greene-Sanchez inability to throw consistently or get pass protection which leads to predictability. We get some fresh answers almost every week. When Mangold returns will the running game improve substantially?
That's a really big part, but it's not just that of course.Wayne Hunter has not played well at all replacing Woody and Moore still seems to be a little banged up as well. Shonn Greens has decent power and good straightline speed for a back his size, but he has no wiggle or quickness. If the line isn't blocking he has issues making anything happen on his own.I'd like to see them start using McKnight a little more in the running game. His speed and quickness could get the team kick started a bit.
He's actually played well this season up until last night. While he played very poorly, his o-line did him no favors. He got smacked around and then was a little shellshocked later in the game.He was a disaster overall, but just about any QB would have looked pretty bad under similiar circumstances last night. Baltimore's pass rush was unstoppable (for the Jets o-line at least).'JuSt CuZ said:
Well, umm, yeah.
Yeah, 49ers terrible too, except for week 4. But Philly is soft as melted butter up the middle
What you are describing is the Jets O-line has no depth and continuity to keep it together. They have been blessed the past few years with a healthy line but they are in trouble now. Their depth is non-existant. They are starting a center that was picked up off of the Chargers' practice squad..geez. And with no depth comes no continuity and Greene isn't the type of runner to make it happen by himself. He needs the old Jets line, or the Steeler or cowboys line from back in the day where casms were opened up and the big man gets a barrel of steam built up. But greene can not pick and jump into spaces and burst. I agree that McKnight would be a much better option right now. Bilal would not be as effective as Joe and LT probably couldn't do it the rest of the season. They need to fix the line or adapt. Until then it is going to be ugly. Last night was the first time since watchingt he Cardinals last season where I watched a QB and thought "That guy wants no part of this. He wants to quit and call it a day". Sanchez was lost and confused and that's not saying HE is bad. It is saying that the Jets were overwhelmed last night because of their o-line.
