When the opposition is already running away with the game due to turnovers and lack of offensive production from the Jets they are many times going to go to the ground. That is one reason the pass defense appeared to be doing somewhat average, another is opposing teams did not attempt that many passes against them, 6th least per game. So while only 5 teams had less passes thrown against them, 13 teams gave up less yards per game. Bottom line they gave up big yardage:12th most yards per attempt, big points: 3rd most passing TD's and did not get after the ball:least INTs. The secondary was not good by any twisting of the numbers.
Yeah, I wouldn't put any stock into those rankings, they can be misleading. Our DB's were awful last year, we didn't have an edge rusher either. If our offense could have scored some more points, some more touchdowns, opposing offenses would have been forced to throw the ball a lot more against us and our corners and safeties just weren't good enough to cover anybody. Landry was horrible, and our starting corners were Walls and Antonio Allen / Marcus Williams. Williams played well late in the season but still, that backfield was just garbage. Teams just took time off the clock against us by running the ball all the time, they didn't have to throw the ball.
Since teams couldn't run against us and apparently they didn't pass against us either I'm not sure how we lost 12 games!
I don't see how this helps the Bills at all. Revis, Cromartie, Skrine, Milliner, McDougle are all likely making the roster. Williams was decent, Walls is decent, so that makes 7 players right? Milliner could still be hurt, McDougle who knows what he has? The Jets will keep the best 6. The guy left behind could go up to Buffalo sure, but how much is he really going to help Rex? I know how much: None. Haha. Don't worry about Buffalo. Just be happy the Jets' 2014 weakness is now a SUPER STRENGTH.
I think what it means that it wasn't just his fault that the secondary sucked last season. And that he's not a zero value DB. If the schemes stink it's not all on the players. I'd keep him not release him.
that isn't even close to the point... of course it's not just his fault, he's not that important of a player. He isn't a zero value DB, he's a zero value DB to the 2015 NY Jets given their CB depth chart. Keeping him adds NOTHING to the Jets roster. That spot needs to goto a young raw talent with a higher ceiling. There won't be a single team jumping up and down if they pick up Darrin Walls. He is what he is. He's a depth guy on a team that has a dicey top half of the depth chart who can spot start reasonably. The 2015 Jets do not need that.
I think he can make the team. He has experience. There were coverage issues on him last season, no doubt about that. I thought he actually played better previous to last year. Considering the number of injuries in the secondary league wide he has some value. If they do cut him he will be one of the last cuts and probably Mac can trade him. He's not as bad as you're making out. And if cut he wouldn't last to Rex. Buff was 9-7 and other teams like the Jags would probably put a claim in for him.
Bottom level corners everyone knows will be cut offer no trade value at all. He's just not very good. He's not very bad but he's not a starting player thus no one will trade a draft pick for him.
this.. and he presents nothing to the 2015 NY Jets given the CB situation. If I'm wrong on that front pls tell me.
Look I'm not going to fight with you over Darrin Walls. When some idiots on this board were even making a big deal over Matt Simms. You know, kind of like...me.
that pretty much boils this down to 1 post lol not the matt simms thing, just the not worth fighting over Darrin walls thing
Guess it needs to be broken down further for you. Other teams threw a few passes, those passes went for many yards and many TDs, Jets didn't intercept many. When Jets got the ball they didn't score or turned it over. That is how they lost 12 games.
Kyle Wilson apparently is in line for starting slot CB over there. He's decent there, put him on the outside and oh boy.
