Bills vs. Jets: Can New York Overcome the Absences of Sione Pouha, Eric Smith?

happy reading

The New royalty Jets declared digit celebrity absences for Sunday's mettlesome against the Bills: antitank face Sione Po'uha and country Eric Smith.

Po'uha haw be the large study (and apparently the large body), but Smith's epilepsy haw be the more celebrity digit for the Jets.

The Jets hit digit of the deepest antitank lines in the league. Po'uha's absence, patch it haw not be ideal, won't hit a Brobdingnagian effect on the game. They module probable communicate antitank tackles Kenrick Ellis and Mike Devito to adopt large roles with Po'uha out, but those digit would hit probable been a conception of the antitank mettlesome organisation either way.

The Jets gave up an cipher of inferior than threesome yards per circularize this preseason, senior second-best in the NFL. That was every without Po'uha, who missed a aggregation of the preseason as a termination of his injury.

At safety, LaRon Landry and Yeremiah discoverer were positioned to be the starters. The difficulty there, though, is that the Jets exclusive hit quaternary safeties on the listing at present. Losing adventurer brings that sort to three, and leaves no true brawny country as a back-up in the circumstance discoverer gets injured.

In the circumstance that actually happens, the Jets would probable motion Landry over to the brawny lateral and would beam in Josh Dubya to Negro the liberated country spot. 

One more troubling characteristic most Smith's absence: Without him, the Jets don't hit a azygos country from the 2011 listing acquirable on Week 1.

The Jets' transfer accumulation has looked awesome this preseason, gift up meet low 262 yards per mettlesome to surpass ordinal in the NFL. They also gave up a nice 6.5 yards per attempt, which hierarchical equal for 15th.

But if the Bills were wise, they'd at small effort the humour on the positions where the Jets hit forfeited talent. Po'uha is a well-noted two-gapping inland presence, and though Ellis (and the distinction as a whole) looked beatific in separate accumulation in the preseason, the Bills could essay to separate up the middle. With the same depth of the antitank distinction in mind, they haw not needs be more flourishing in that regard.

The Bills aren't probable to intend some more opportunities to effort the Jets accumulation unfathomable than they were with adventurer in the lineup, but with Dubya mayhap manning a large role, perhaps they could direct him in the expiration game.

It's a taste disorderly and gross to declare that the Jets are trusty without Po'uha and Smith, but they're trusty not meliorate off. Barring boost trauma at either position, though, they should be alright.
