Someone else may have posted a similar intelligent thought process for stopping the WC, but I have not "seen" it. I like your rationale too. The problem is that the same Fish personnel can also line up in a standard formation with Henne at QB. I don't like the matchups as well when Henne drops back to pass. Scott may have s-cked last time but who do you want covering the TE. It would seem to me personnel adept, at least hopefully adept at gap control might not get much pressure on the passer. Maybe you have an idea how the same personnel group you propose could be harnessed when the Fish use a traditional set or drop into one. h STW,

If Rex was smart he'd put out a 5-2 front featuring Pouha at nose, Green and Pitoitua at tackle, and Ellis and Gholston on the ends. Play Pace and Harris (sorry Scott you sucked last time against MIA) at the LB spots. Play gap control, man to man - account for EVERYONE on the offense. Do this and watch the wildcat turn into the mildcat!! I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, the wildcat is a high school offense, and the best way to stop it is with a high school defense.

Simple premise. Crowder played like a man possessed in the MNF game, so without that effort the defense will be hurting. The Jets O-line has hit it's stride after switching to a zone blocking scheme early this season. But the biggest discrepancy is with the receivers. Jets have better receivers by a wideeee margin. While the numbers would show the Jets can't stop the run, they still possess the talent and coaching to shut down a team's running attack. Let's see how the phins' rookie CB's handle themselves against Braylon Cotchery and the crew. Fin Fan,

We used to be one. If the Wildcat is moving, just being two TDs down will not scare them unless it is late in the 4th quarter (now if we get them down three scores...) Similarly, a Parcells team tends to stick with its game plan unless it is F--ked. Unlike the Raiders who ran only 19 times while averaging 6.3 ypc, a Parcells team will run us into the ground if they can and use the pass sparingly as they did last time. IOW, IMHO, this is the game when we actually have to stop the Fish running game because, absent freak turnovers or the emergence of Super Mark, if we don't stop the run, we will lose again and our season, at least a far as any unreasonable post season aspirations, will be effectively over. harlan Drew, a Parcells team tends not to panic when behind.

The real way to tame the Wildcat is to score points. They can't run that time consuming crap if they are down 2 TDs. Sanchez is going to have to make some throws on Sunday. We are not putting three hundo on the Dolphins run D. I actually think since we played a little more 4-3 last week it could help against the wildcat….

True wins have come at home for us but get your facts straight! Takes 2 seconds to look at the NFL schedule so you dont look stupid. We haven't played Buffalo at home yet. Thats on nov. 29th. I would like this to be a blowout sweep just as the Jets would like a revenge split but most likely and most entertaining would be a drag out bloody battle till the end. Stats are what they are and change game to game but the biggest descepency is between run D. Both teams are ranked high running Jets#1 Miami#2. But run D Jets#22, Miami#4. Have seen comments regarding Crowder and I really dont think you will have a big advantage running if he doesnt play. He is the most noted because of his mouth but we are pretty deep at LB with good players, dont think him not playing will be a huge factor. Jose the Jet.
