This Week in Tweet: The Bye Week Edition

It’s been a while since we last wrote this segment on the Blog.  This past week I met up with Bassett at the TJB Tweetup, and got to meet a ton of great Jets fans!  I also got to finally meet Bent, the man the myth, the legend from across the pond.
Bassett had asked me [...]

Link: Under Pressure

FanHouse has a breakdown of how effective the league’s defenses are in getting to the quarterback out of different pressure packages (3-man, 4-man, etc.) and it’s interesting to look at when the Jets have been effective in applying pressure. Definitely worth a quick look.

Link: The Gholston Effect

Links: This is Why We Obsess Over Those Depth Guys in the Summer

Leberfeld made a point about how the special teams unit was decimated with inactive guys during Sunday’s game, and that has to be factored into the coverage issues.

What he lost was three of his top cover guys – Ahmad Carroll, Marquice Cole and Marques Murrell. These three de-activations are the # 1 reason I think [...]

Link: Hubris? Or .. Something Else?

It’s not often that I’m on the same page with Gary Myers, but it seems to me that this morning, we’re both at least in the same book. Myers uses Ted Ginn’s day and the Jets strategy around it to make his point about how Ryan manages the team, and I think it’s one that [...]
