Jets at Chargers Early Thoughts

BTW, we open as a 7 point favorite.

We may have to go all high school on them and have some guys play both offense and D....LOL

The Jets also love to play at least 1 extra man in the box at most times. Either the guy is an extra blitzer, or is up to give an overload vs the run.

Either way, I don't see us being able to get the guy blocked in the running game, unless we can jump up to a big lead and demoralize them.

We need a good game plan for quick passing and for the receivers to do their job and give targets.

I'm wondering if Smith gets suspended. The nfl has to protect the wallet, errr the fans.

Our pass protection and blitz pickup has actually been OK since Az. Not that we got blitzed a lot the last couple of weeks, but we have been at least alright.

The big problem vs Buffalo and Seattle, was we were playing very good defenses, and we kept letting ourselves be forced into 3rd and forever time after time. Today's game plan, we stopped trying to run the ball, and used the ball control passes.

The difference this week will need to be, that if we get ahead and start trying to do the ball control passes, Ryan will try and trap our short passes, so Rivers and the coaches can't be afraid to throw down field if the coverage dictates it. In the long TD highlight from the Lions game, you can see that the jets coverage was trying to jump the short routes, and Stafford went over the top. We need to be able to do that. Fortunately, that is Rivers strength. Dink and dunk until someone gets impatient, then he burns them.

If Law can't go next week will Walker and Attaochu return? Really hope so.

And it would be very nice to have Verrett and his speed back.

I think we'll see quite a few people return. Unless the hamstring injuries are quite severe, they should be able to play within a couple of weeks. These guys are young! Of course everyone is different and heals at different rates.

My hope is that they were held out as a precaution because we were facing the Jags.

0-4 in the redzone today. And probably 0-4 in the redzone next week too. MM needs to start EVERY practice with redzone drills. This is pathetic.

Once we get inside the 30, we need to launch every pass into the endzone. If we accidentally make it to the 10, we'll have to do some intentional delays of game and back it up to where we can score.

Penalties are torpedoing the red zone opps.
