FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Physicality hasn't been the problem for the Jets' porous run defense. "It's been an issue of alignment, assignment, fundamentals, tackling," linebacker Aaron Maybin said.

If u look at the last couple big injuries to the defense (jenkins and leonhard). They played poorly the following game and got beat. 45 - 3 for god sakes. Then they got it together. I expect a much better performance this week. Gonna be a tight game.

sione is hurt. convert to a 4-3 Coples/Mo at ends Ellis/Devito/Harrison at Nt/Dt spots Get Demario Davis at one of the 3 linebacker spots for his speed and if maybin cant hack it. Activate Ricky Sapp. Get berry on field as well.

Eight in the box and we're dead over the top... This will be a track meet with the Texans (rabbit) tooling up the Jets (turtle). 30 - 13 Texans and the Jets 1 touchdown will be on kick return.

They were also going to ground and pound it this year. Rex and the Jets can say whatever they want, but it seems there's a disconnect between the talk and the walk.

Players believe Rex's talk, and believe there is no need to walk.

For those Jets fans ready to shoot themselves--look at the schedule. It's weak. With a modest effort, we should remain near .500 all season and that keeps us in the playoff hunt. That's if Tebow stays on the bench. We're in the toilet now. If he takes over, we're flushed.

agreed...the Jets will go 4-4 before the bye and then it opens up to get atleast 9 wins for the year

I thought Karl Dunbar was supposed to be some guru line coach that helped the Vikings d line be awesome....I don't see it....our guys are getting caught out of position and not using there hands at all...

That will make it all the worse for Jets fans if they end up 5-11. Actually, I'm hoping for 7-9. That way they don't go to the playoffs but also don't draft very high. Of course, even if they do draft high they'll just take another defensive player like Vernon Coples with his dominating 4 tackles through 4 games.
