Joe Z. said:Is our pass defense.
I disagree. Our biggest weakness by far is our trenches. Our OL does not give our QBs any protection whatsoever, and they don't open any holes whatsoever for our RBs. Last year, this Jets' D was one of the worst run Ds in the league. They lost John Abraham and Ty Law and added nothing but rookie LB Anthony Schlegel. Result? We couldn't run anywhere but for those late Henry TDs.
Then there's the DL. Why you think the secondary looks so bad? Chad Pennington had all day to throw yesterday. The line provides no push whatsoever, and the pass rush is non-existent save for the occasional blitz. They did an OK job against the run, but 319 yards to a QB who hadn't thrown in a regular season game in almost a year?
We did lose RowBear early, but save for a few bursts Starks and Albert provided no push, and save for the VDB sack, no pass rush was generated. On the Jets' 1st TD, Nick Mangold, a rookie, manhandled Albert in opening up a hole for Barlow to run through. He just took him and spun him away. Albert weight 40 pounds more than the rook.
