It's not like they've got world-class talent, but they aren't deficient like prior years. This is horrific coaching, scheming, and game-planning. This is a defense that can only do as much as they can figure out by themselves, because the coaching staff decisions are actively restrictive and destructive.
Unfortunately they have to...especially when the Offense can't stay on the field for more than a set of downs...
Joe Burrow, has burrowed up twice this game (at least) with anticipation of being sacked, just to spin out and make a play. Unreal.
None of bricks for brains philosophies do anymore. This defense is soft and they need to be attacking.
You have to let your best players get their uniform dirty and that's not how the Jets roll right now.
