one saving grace, no one else has a line as big as Buffalo’s, if they can’t push around Seattle’s line, who i believe will be starting “beginnning of the year backups” then we know the jets are in trouble.

prediction. jets rebound. i think last week was close to rock bottom, i see a wake up in attitude

As a rugby player, I should clarify. When a bunch of guys are all in a “scrum” together around the ball, it is called a maul. A scrum is a set that restarts play after a penalty. This involves 8 men from each side packing down into formation and attempting to drive the other team’s scrum off the ball.

I think De Vito has played well for a backup I heard his named called quite a few times the other day from the announcer on tackles, seems like he is progressing for one of Mangini’s “projects”

Basset,

Great analysis. From the above, I gather that the Jets need to add some depth to their front seven.

When Jenkins is out, or injured, the run defense is not good. Pouha isn’t producing enough in Jenkins absence.

DeVito is only playing because they have no one better to rotate in after Mosley.

Bowens is strictly a pass rusher.

Bryan Thomas should be let go after this season.

Kenyon Coleman is an overpaid back up.

I know we need help in the secondary, but by upgrading the front seven the Jets can improve their pass defense just as easily as adding another shutdown corner. That should be the offseason priorty.
