You have to stay out of 3rd and long. The Jets love to bring the kitchen sink on 3rd and long. If you get into too many situations like that they will force mistakes. On defense, it's the same thing for you. Pressure Sanchez and force him into the mistakes. Like any QB in the league, knock him around and keep him from getting comfortable in the pocket.
Honestly, I don't think the Jets were that effective in running the ball on Miami. LT and Greene went for a combined 106 yards on 25 carries for a 4.2 average. But when you pull out then one 21 yard run by LT, you are looking at a 3.5 yard average, which blows. What skews the total rushing numbers is the 41 yards Brad Smith put up on 3 carries out of the Seminole/Wildcat. But if you go look at the list of plays, Miami did a good job of shutting down the conventional running attack. I think Sanchez had a lot to do with the win. Now I understand what you mean about shutting down the running game and making Sanchez do all the work. Obviously if they can not run the ball for positive yards, they will be in 3rd and long all game long, which would make it difficuly for any quarterback. But I have to believe that the Jets will be able to run against the Packers. Green Bay is giving up 124.3 yards per game....but then again, the Jets were supposed to run all over Denver and they didn't. If the Jets can manage a decent running game, I think they will win. And even in GB shuts it down early, they will keep at it until the they have no other choice but to pass on every down. That is what the Jets do. And if they do get get the running game going, Sanchez will play action pass to Keller, Holmes, Edwards and Cotchery. Like it or not, that is a fantastic set of receivers who will be hard to cover. This could turn out to be an old fashioned shootout. I'm sure Rodgers will put up big numbers against the Jets. He will burn their blitz at times. It should be a good game.
The Jest are way overated, stop the run and pressure dirty Sanchez and you got a win, your QB is good enough to punish them with all that stupid blitzing.....I would not lose any sleep if I was you.
Text pictures of Bret Favre's ***** to Dirty Sancheeze. Dude won't be able to think straight. Done deal.
Click here. Shaun Ellis is going to give Bryan Bulaga some hell, I imagine. They will probably run the ball and Sanchez will make some passes. That could be enough to beat you guys, tbh.
-Pressure from your base defense, your 7 guys have to own the Los. -Avoid negative plays, sacks and int's and fumbles, they make the Jest offense look better than it really is, make Sanchez drive the field each time, every time. -Tighten up on ST, I see GB signed Erik Walden, he normally is a fine ST player. -Find Brandon Jackson on short passes, try to match him up with the Jets Lb's.
Those were good passes no doubt, but they weren't all that impressive. Both time the reciever has good inside positioning. I guess I would just like to see him make some back shoulder throws and ones that require precise placement of the ball.
Miami dropped INTs (pick 6s to boot!) that they should not of. Shutdown the run and you have a very good chance of shutting down the Jets O. I think Sanchez presses and makes poor decisions with pressure. Do you really feel comfortable with Sanchez throwing 40 times a game? I think he's shown that he will be the real deal at some point, but he isn't there yet. Old fashion shootouts go to the Pack 8 out of 10 times IMO.
When I wrote "shootout", I meant high scoring game. I think the Jets will score a lot using a balanced offense and GB will score a lot by passing the ball.
to me your game comes down to blitzes .... whichever team shows it can handle the pressure will win the game .... or whomever wins the pressure / sack game will 'probably' win ..... as long as you can hold the JESTS run game under 100 yards ....
I have faith we can somehow pull this out. We signed Howard Greene a DT who is a former Jet. I hope that will pan out cause we need some desperate help on the D line in order to stop the run.
