I know we're only through 3 games. I absolutely know we've won two close games against the not-exactly-high-flying Bucs and Bills. If we win 7 or 8 games I still think that should be considered a fairly decent season for such a young team and please God enough for Rex to keep his job for another year. But anyway an indication of how we're doing so far... Defence Total Defence: 270 yards/game - 3rd Pass Defence: 190.3 yards/game - 7th Rush Defence: 79.7 yards/game - 6th Offence Total Offence: 378.3 yards/game - 10th Passing: 244.7 yards/game - 17th Rushing: 133.7 yards/game - 6th Scoring Defence: 16.7 PPG - 7th Scoring Offence: 18.3 PPG - 26th (Defensive sacks: 12 - 3rd=) Obviously we're not doing well in turnover ratio and penalties, but which of these surprises you guys the most? Our defence is slightly better than I expected it to be...our running attack isn't close to being the 6th best in the league, I imagine that will sort itself out over the next few weeks, but 10th total offence? Perhaps I listened to the media haters too much but I really though we'd be struggling in the bottom 5-10 offences all season. There's still time for that to happen but hey, things are looking pretty good at the moment fellas.
I created a thread a little while back about our offensive and defensive rankings. Probably best to add it in there. http://forums.theganggreen.com/showthread.php?t=78831
With Rex as HC we will always be a top 10 defense. Besides Geno & Bilal being better than expected at this point, we upgraded the offense big time just by adding Mornhinweg. The same offense as last year would probably improve slightly just because of his play-calling ability. The OLine improvement, Hill & Kerley getting better, a healthy Holmes, Winslow and Geno make for a big jump. If we start getting help from Goodson and Ivory can heal up we will be #1 in rushing again.
Yup. One of the reasons why some posters were pretty optimistic coming into the season. I think most Jets fans would agree that we have the talent of being a top 5 defense. If we can just sustain a league average offense, we'll be in good shape. Anything above that is freakin gravy.
Trust me, I know how it feels to have a thread get no attention, then have somebody else talk about the exact same thing, and it blow up. Haha wtf ever right? PS. Offense, and Defense both have an S, not a C. Jesus.
Keep in mind that our #3 ranking on Total Yards Allowed comes in the face of the Jets' 7 turn overs which gave the ball back to the other team's offense. If Geno can cut down on his TO's, he will rack up even more yards plus keep the other team's offense off the field which will help Rex's D-stangings even more.
Not if the turnover ratio isn't improved. I believe the Jets are -6 right now. That's not gonna cut it. An average of -2 every game will lead to some bad losses. Plus they obviously need to clean up the penalties.
