This was an article on the Official Jets website: http://www.newyorkjets.com/news/articles/show/3222-brick-ready-to-knock-heads-with-texans-williams How do you think the Revis vs Johnson and the Brick vs Super Mario matchup will go?
People have already said it, but the Revis-Johnson matchup will go as the pass rush goes. Revis is excellent, but he can't be on an island against a freak like Johnson all day long. Chance are, Kubiak will have Shaub throwing away from Revis, but you never know. Brick - will need to help against Mario Williams. I have a feeling we'll see Tony Richardson in the backfield a lot.
Of course, if there's no Kevin Walter, even Revis won't be on an island against Johnson all day. Andre Davis doesn't merit the same kind of attention that Walter does, and suddenly that passing offense becomes triple threat (Johnson-Daniels-Slaton), instead of quad.
I expect them to send Johnson across the field a lot, with digs, cross and slantrouts. Leonhard and Rhodes will have to look for him all the game, cuz not even Revis can keep him in check 1-on-1 when he?s running parallel. Don?t forget, that we?re talking about the prototype Wideout here. As others said, passrush is the Key, let?s hope DeVito?s hamstring won?t bother him, and he can get a good push to open blitzing lanes. DBrick vs. Williams is a very interesting Matchup, DBrick often struggles against big guys, I expect us to slide over to his side a lot and try to get Faneca on him as well in pass protection. Key here is to get the Runninggame going.
lets just say andre johnson scares me! you could tell me he wouldn't catch a pass all day and I'd still fear him!
The pass rush will be horrendous with 2 of our top 3 rushers suspended. It gets worse. Pouha has one start in 5 years and DeVito will be playing hurt.
