Well lets take a real perspective on the Jets season so far.
First, this supposed 'run first' offensive team hasn't been running well. Late in games they've been throwing the ball and confused as to what to do next. It doesn't help that their quarterback play can't suffice and their offensive coordinator Tony Sporano(who hasn't been a coordinator ever in his career) hasn't been able to supply plays that would support the team he has.
Second, again is the quarterback play. Mark Sanchez has under a 50% completion rate when most quarterbacks in the league, to remain competent, have in the 60's. He seems to not be able to connect with his receivers as well as other quarterbacks, case and point when Sanchez is rushed often the receivers don't turn around to catch the ball because they are either not ready for it or not used to him actually throwing to them. Watch any Jet game and you will see at least 4-5 missed catches where Sanchez will overthrow the ball or the receiver doesn't know when to look to catch the ball.
Third, their defense stinks! If you have watched the Jets you know Darrelle Revis is the best play they have on defense. He is so good teams will refuse to throw anything to his side, and when they do its either incomplete or going the other way. It has stopped so many high powered offensive team like the Texans or the Lions from utilizing their main receivers. So much so they get angry and put up 200 yard games the following games.
This year unfortunately Revis came done with a conucussion and ankle injury, effectively ending his season. With the Jets now sporting cornerbacks Antonio Cromartie and Kyle Wilson, teams have been pouring on the yards.
Is there much more to say about the Jets other than how can this team compete with anyone else?
