I will be at the Jets game today. A live blog though is still up in the air due to the Weather.
A stifling defense spurred the New York Jets' surprising 3-0 start, but the unit hasn't looked nearly as effective in two subsequent defeats. Coach Rex Ryan may have an ideal chance to change that against the punchless Buffalo Bills. Ryan and the Jets will try to re-establish their brash, hard-hitting defensive play Sunday when they host the Bills, who are searching for an end to their three-game slide.
New York (3-2) won its first three games behind a superb defense that allowed averages of 11.0 points and 256.0 yards per game while forcing seven turnovers. Ryan's revamped Jets exuded a brash and outspoken attitude that was a staple of his defense in Baltimore, where he spent the last 10 years.
The defense, however, hasn't been very effective in consecutive losses. The unit allowed 343 yards in a 24-10 defeat at New Orleans on Oct. 4 and gave up season highs in passing yards (262) and total yardage (413) en route to a 31-27 defeat at Miami on Monday night.
It absolutely was a humbling experience," Ryan said after the Jets blew three second-half leads and struggled against the Dolphins' wildcat offense. "This is a step back, but we can make a huge leap forward. We've just got to learn from this and we've got to practice better. "As a coach, I'm not going to allow this to happen again. We've got to get back and sharpen up what we do defensively. I know we have the talent. We just have to play better."
Despite the back-to-back losses, New York is tied with New England for first in the AFC East. However, the trash talking may be curbed after a poor fourth-quarter effort against the Dolphins saw New York give up three touchdowns, equaling the total the defense allowed over the previous four games.
JETS SIGN WR WOODHEAD OF PRACTICE SQUAD
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets have signed wide receiver Danny Woodhead to the active roster from the practice squad, and released defensive tackle Howard Green.Saturday's moves come with the Jets possibly a bit short-handed in their receiving corps for Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. Jerricho Cotchery (left hamstring) and Brad Smith (quadriceps) are listed as doubtful for the matchup.
Woodhead recently was converted from running back to wide receiver, and even changed his jersey number from 22 to 83. Coach Rex Ryan said the former NCAA career rushing leader from Chadron State could make an excellent slot receiver.
To be perfectly honest, Ive always said that Trent Edwards is shit. Hes horrible. He is just a shitty QB. I think JP Losman was better. I really hope that today Edwards is exposed for the shitty NFL QB he really is. Hes not a gunslinger or a game manager... he just isnt good at all. The Bills O-Line hasn't been good lately and I expect the Jets to Feast.
The Jets should be well prepared considering Monday Nights wild cat debacle. Jones, Washington and Green will run all over the Bills D and they stretch the field with Braylan Edwards and Dustin Keller; even in the slop that the meadowlands will be. Edwards first game at home, I think hes going to have a monster game just like the home team. Keller on the other hand has been on a milk carton considering hes been missing the WHOLE season. Its up to Mark Sanchez though to get him the Magic Bean.
The Bills do have weapons though, this isnt going to be a cake walk. Fred Jackson is averaging almost 4.5 a pop and is dangerous. TO and Lee Evans can still turn on the switch at anytime. An Old off TO is still more dangerous then the average NFL WR. I expect Revis and Sheppard to shut down the BIlls WRs and have the D bring 8 in the box.
The Jets are 2-0 at home, and Buffalo is 0-2 on the road. Cause today is an ole' AFL matchup I assume were going to see those amazing AFL uni's
