The Jets Defense is actually average at best

Jets fans have been chirping quite a bit about their "New look" defense

But lets break down what this new team actually looks like.

Pro football focus rankings 6/1

The front 3 are fire, nobody is going to deny that. The Sons of Anarchy are a straight up destructive force of nature, and Leonard Williams will probably make them even better. Revis is a pro too, and can pretty much shut down every WR1 all game(Except for Randy Moss that one hysterical time)

Now lets look a little deeper.

Their linebackers are straight up GARBAGE. Entirely made up of shitty terrible players that either
A. Are past their prime, or B, were never good in the first place.

Couples is, pretty clearly, a failure. Pace is a fan favorite who was never better than average. David Harris is on the wrong side of 30. Demario Davis spent the last three years picking on prime shape Harris' scraps while backing up freakin Bart Scott. And the depth behind these guys is just about non existent. Babin is the best backup and he will likely get cut before the start of the season.


Now the secondary is even more shallow.

Pryor? Antonio Allen? Marcus Gilchrist? Buster Skrine? Get the fuck out of here.

Cromarte actually reeled in a decent season last year in AZ, but ranked 48th in passes defended.

So how well is this shart ass secondary going to do when they play any team but the Browns? Literally any team that has an average WR2 can abuse them. And any team with an average TE will MURDER that linebacking core.

Good luck watching this year Ryan
