I chose "Other", besides Revis and Cromartie, if the rest of the secondary has a solid showing we will squash the Patriots. Our Pass rush does not have to be crazy, just good enough, get pressure on Brady, I don't care if we don't get a single sack. With decent pressure it comes down to the rest of the secondary, Brady gets that ball out quick, so IMO secondary play is key.
3 people - Mark Sanchez, Mark Sanchez and Mark Sanchez. He absolutely cannot play like he played last week - he MUST hit open receivers and take advantage of opportunities - and not just in the last minute of the game. If he doesn't play well, Patriots romp.
I think the only way we lose this game is if Sanchez lays an egg, so we need one of his better performances. I expect he'll step up on the big stage yet again.
If the defense plays a complete game it can make up for any inconsistency from the young 2nd year QB. I think Sanchez will be fine.
I think it will come down to which Calvin Pace we see. He needs to put pressure on Brady every play. He's the closest thing we have to a great speed rusher, but hasn't really shown it yet this year. If Brady has all day in the pocket, there's not a chance we win the game
I think Sanchez will be fine but that's not enough. If the Pats dink and dunk us to death they'll eat the clock and wear us out by the fourth quarter. We need three and outs early on. I'd rather see a 7-7 score at halftime with a massive TOP advantage than see us up 21-14 with a gassed front seven.
I was thinking more along the lines of drives stalling, not so much him turning the ball over. I agree though, if he throws 2 INTs, the Pats win by more than 6. His best games were against the division this year, I think he'll continue that pace. The defense needs to step up because Brady's only INTs have come from defenses run by a Ryan brother. They have to continue that streak.
The O-line. If they O-line dominates the line of scrimmage and we can run the ball (granted Schotty has to call running plays) and eat up clock to keep Brady on the bench, then we will win.
Sanchez...I want to see 4 drives like the 3rd quarter one in Cleveland...only with 7 points at the end. If he can engineer 4 10+ minute drives that removes Brady from the equation. Period. THAT is what I want to see...
Their secondary is weak but then again so was the Bungals. We need the OC to take the handcuffs off Mark and open up the O early. Mark has to be more accurate and im guessing he knows it. He seems to make his decisions too quick and would benefit from being a little more patient. I dnt mind when he tries to make plays with his feet either.
We thought we lucked out when Mo Lewis took out Bledsoe. I think we should quit on maiming QBs while we are behind.
Brady has been godly last couple of games, he is going to move the ball. The answers is pretty obvious......... Jets need to put up points, be precise and on time.
Also...one more point to add...START the game in the 2 minute offense. Period. Period...said done it...DO it...in fact, regardless whether the read it or not...I'm e-mailing right now. lol
The safeties, nickels and dimes. Too many short completion lately over the middle. Welker and NE's TEs need to be popped at the line and blanketed.
