Re: Poor Run Defense Partially Due to Scheme
Didn't mean to burden the defense at all by this post. Like I said I am very happy and content with the D this year. I have more fits about our O-Line and Run game more than anything. Defense can only do so much!

Re: Poor Run Defense Partially Due to Scheme
How about bad scheme on the OLine. The zone blocking isn't working. They need to go back to gap blocking. I keep saying that and God I hope someone at Airline Dr has figured this out. Going back to gap blocking won't solve all the problem but I bet it'll fix the run game.

Well forget that now, I'd rather go back to the gap scheme. It wasn't great, but it sure looked better than what we're seeing so far. As I mentioned earlier this year, Ross Tucker (NFL Radio) mentioned that teams making that switch rarely have success at it the first year. Yes it can happen, but more often than not it doesn't work well at all in season one. We averaged an entire yard more per carry last year. |

Re: Poor Run Defense Partially Due to Scheme
They played well enough to win the game especially since turnovers forced them into bad positions. I saw two or three runs by Ivory/Powell that even Halo could have run through and gained 10 yards.
Overall I thought the Jets had a great gameplan and got the ball out of Geno's hands quickly. Especially those WR screens that seemed to keep working. That opened up the run lanes. |

We played right into the Jets hands. Unforced turnovers, dumb penalties and missed assignments. |
