    The Jets New York Jets ' pass defense sunk to 31st in the league rankings this week, better than only dismal Seattle.

    Niners quarterback Shaun Hill and his receivers had a field day against the Jets, racking up 275 yards and facing very little pressure. The Jets have not shown much aggression with their defensive schemes, rarely bringing extra blitzers.

    "We definitely have been reacting a little bit more," safety Kerry Rhodes Kerry Rhodes said.

    "Teams are coming out and abandoning their gameplans. They're not doing what they usually do. They're doing, I guess, what they see from a prior team or something and they try to exploit it in a different way. We're going into the game more in a reaction mode anyway. Teams are figuring out what they want to do against us from the previous game.

    "They're going outside of their box. They're not doing what they like to do. They're doing what they've seen has been successful against us."

    So, what's preventing the Jets defense from going "outside the box" and changing their scheme?

    "You've got to talk to Coach about that one," Rhodes said. "I have no answer for that one."

    I'd hardly call 275 yards a field day... but it was still awful.

    for san fransico and Shaun Hill, it is.

    Its the equivalent of a 300 yard day from favre this year. so rare that you have to quadrouple take the stat lines...

    The Jets take a consistent approach. There is no reason to change what they're doing now ...
