Thanks! Yes, my hand slipped as I was typing and somehow the post was posted and the thread created. The title should read, "Do the Jets have the #1 CB Corps in the NFL?"
It really is a great opportunity to get the passing game rolling on Monday night. Let's hope Zach and Hack are up to the challenge!
Love these charts! No other team has even 2 DBs in the upper right (best). Jets have all 3 in there. So yes, Jets have the best secondary in football. Which is kinda funny...when we brought Saleh in we all thought the team didn't need lock down corners, since his front 4 would apply so much pressure. Now we have both a great front AND a lock-down secondary. And with the way Quincy is stepping up, we have the best middle linebacker too. wow. The surprise for me is Michael Carter. He prevents separation on about 90% of pass plays, which is really hard to do when covering the slot WR.
Yeah having MC play so well helps a ton because teams usually put their best WR in the slot to get away from teams top corners. Then the Jets have a guy who covers just as well as the others
Our passing game has not been that bad and our 3rd down and Red Zone offense has been a sequence of fuck ups. It is not, hey we need to fix this and all will be fine. It is someone different every time. A bad penalty, A missed block, A dropped ball, A crap play call, A bad throw, a missed read. Here is to hoping we have less F*** ups on third down and red zone and we show what this offense can be.
He was listed as a Limited Participant on yesterday's injury report. Sounds like he participated in individual drills and I feel like I saw he participated in teams but now I can't find it. We'll have to see if they change his designation today or tomorrow on the injury report. If he's ever listed as a "Full Participant", I feel like he'll play.
Looks pretty damn impressive to me. I would say we have the best trio of CBs in the NFL and this chart supports that. I'm curious where Bryce Hall and even Craig James would stack up on here. They held up pretty well when pressed into action and against great WRs. It makes me wonder how much of that is system and how much is talent, even for the back-end of roster guys
The whole backend is phenomenal. The only teams anywhere close is probably the Seahawks, Bengals, Browns and I think our trio is much better. Funny swing L’Jarius Snead up there in this category. Dude gets away with holding or DPI on what seems like every play because he’s on the Chiefs.
Per Saleh today, he's fully participating in practice today, and it's a padded one. He wants to see how he comes out of it before making q determination.
We definitely have the top trio of CBs. Echols is no slouch, and then with Hall and James, I definitely think we have the best CB corps in the NFL. Will we be able to keep them all for long is another question.
Bryce Hall will be a sneaky good, bargain addition for a smart team next offseason. He was decent when he started in 2021 and showed he can still play this year. I think he'll go elsewhere for a chance to start and will wish him the best. They'll still have Echols and Craig James though.
Yes, notice that the percentage numbers get larger from top to bottom. So the way I read the chart/graph is that perhaps Roger McCreary and Ronald Darby are about as good as Sauce and the Jets CBs because they've been targeted roughly twice as often, yet their percentage of preventing separation is about the same. I'm gratified to see Darby doing well. He struggled earlier in his career. I had wanted the Jets to pick him up two different years when he was a FA, but they never did. What's surprising to me (if I'm reading the chart correctly, which I may not be) is that JC Jackson, Darius Slay, and Asante Samuel, Jr. are supposed to be 3 of the better CBs in the league, but according to the chart they are in the bottom 25 percentile.
