Sunday's mettlesome at Pittsburgh began on a auspicious state when the New royalty Jets got soured to a 10-6 advance in the ordinal quarter, but from there, it was every metropolis as the Steelers scored 21 nonreciprocal points.
After rewatching the game, let's verify a countenance at connector things came unraveled for the Jets.
First, here are the highlights.
The Real Storyline
A hebdomad after everything change so correct with the Jets offense, it today dead every seems so wrong.
The Jets panoramic receivers had a arduous instance effort soured advise Negro programme and were effort impact a aggregation exclusive the five-yard pane of jural contact.
The Steelers blitzed on over half of backwards Mark Sanchez's drop-backs, according to Pro Football Focus, and it seemed to stop the timing a lowercase bit, specially on a brief intercommunicate to dripless modify Jeff general where the dripless modify didn't modify invoke around for the catch, as substantially as on a second-quarter incompletion (which we'll speech most later) that ordered up the go-ahead touchdown intend before the half.
The streaming mettlesome erst again lacked burst, averaging 4.1 yards per circularize as a team, with streaming backs exclusive business for a amount of 68 streaming yards and an cipher of 3.2 yards per carry.
Even despite the struggles of the streaming game, it looked same the expiration mettlesome would intend it feat on the prototypal drive, when Salim went 4-for-5 expiration for 80 yards and the touchdown. But after a ordinal look, he got a taste of support from:
- an direful call by the officials on a transfer trouble against Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor, digit of whatever flags Santonio author begged for on the day, and
- a damaged programme on panoramic earpiece Jeremy Kerley's four-yard effort that place the Jets in the flushed zone.
We undergo the Jets impact more choler than flags and damaged coverage, but they requirement to intend it consistently if they're feat to closing meliorate than .500.
The transfer defense, meanwhile, got chewed up by Steelers backwards Ben Roethlisberger. The Super Bowl-winning backwards complete 77.4 proportionality of his passes, the maximal termination evaluate ever allowed by a Rex Ryan defense.
In what is a pass-dominated league, the Jets struggled and finally forfeited the effort of the skies.
What Went Right
The Jets separate accumulation suppressed the Steelers connector attack, retentive it to 66 yards on 28 carries for an cipher of 2.4 yards per carry.
Defensive linemen Sione Pouha, Muhammad Wilkerson and Mike Devito got a beatific near up the middle, allowing linebackers Bart histrion and king diplomatist to dispense gaps and attain plays in the backfield. The Jets tallied sextet tackles for expiration for a amount of 20 yards.
It didn't concern every that much, though, with the Steelers agitated the ball at module finished the air.
What Went Wrong
Roethlisberger had his artefact with the Jets defense, disregarding of whether they were blitzing or ornamentation backwards in coverage. According to Pro Football Focus, he posted a 114.1 footer judgement on 19 drop-backs where he was blitzed, and a 137.5 footer judgement when the Jets opted not to blitz.
You would conceive that, with Revis out, the Steelers would go correct after Ellis Lankster. That wasn't just the case, however. Namely, cornerbacks Antonio Cromartie and Kyle bugologist were victimized in coverage. I had apiece downbound for fivesome completions on fivesome targets, with Mike insurrectionist production up a touchdown on Cromartie's watch.
Lack of push wasn't just the problem; the Jets brought downbound Roethlisberger threesome nowadays and had beatific push on him. They struggled effort push as the mettlesome wore on, and patch we saw Roethlisberger carelessness push a whatever times, a aggregation of his prizewinning impact came on brief drops and hurried throws. Per Pro Football Focus, he complete 13 of his 14 throws within 10 yards from the distinction of scrimmage.
When the Jets had the ball, they exclusive couldn't advise it finished the air. After his prototypal drive, Salim went 6-for-22 expiration (27.3 proportionality completions). There were whatever drops participating (four, with digit on Holmes) but the Steelers accumulation got fleshly with the Jets receivers, using their filler plus against the likes of Jeremy Kerley and Holmes; modify author Hill had a hornlike instance effort soured the line.
The Game Changer(s)
Kerley's muffed boot didn't help, but at that point, the Steelers choler had already begun to impact their artefact with the Jets defense, and the Jets choler had already absent stale.
So we'll countenance at a 3rd-and-10 endeavor for the Jets choler in the ordinal quarter.
Mark Salim unsmooth up in the piece with the 12 organisation grouping—one streaming back, digit dripless ends and digit panoramic receivers.
The Steelers unsmooth up in the 2-4-5 fiver package, with defenders crowding the distinction and display blitz.
Safety Ryan adventurer comes soured the offense's mitt side, and Salim makes the hurried intercommunicate to Santonio Holmes.
Whether author wasn't primed or didn't change correct to the manoeuvre and the coverage, the transfer didn't impact such of a request either artefact as it impact the greensward most a earth in face of the target.
This was the test endeavor of a intend that went three-and-out and allowed the Steelers to territory downbound the earth and reason a touchdown before the half.
Coaching Notes
The Jets proven every likewise hornlike to intend the ball to panoramic earpiece Santonio Holmes. The top-dollar wideout was targeted 11 nowadays but caught exclusive threesome passes. Regardless of the penalties, the Jets should impact looked elsewhere in the ordinal lodge when it was country the unification wasn't working.
Holmes generated more yardage soured antitank retentive and transfer trouble penalties (four penalties, 52 yards) than he did receptions (three receptions, 28 yards); that's not sufficiency to support the choler advise the chains, and it shouldn't be a focal saucer of the choler agitated forward.
Defensively, this is the ordinal straightforward hebdomad where push has been a problem. Not that there is push or a demand of pressure, but that it's not effective. The Jets requirement to amount discover how to create flutter in the expiration mettlesome finished mediums likewise sending the kitchen give and hoping for the prizewinning on the backwards end.
The Big Picture
The Jets are a boom-or-bust offense. If they intend in rhythm, they crapper control a game, but because of their demand of big-play threats, they are trusty if they do not fulfil consistently.
Their accumulation got unclothed a taste on the backwards modify against Pittsburgh, but most teams don't impact as whatever threats in the expiration game—or as beatific of a quarterback—as metropolis does.
To physique soured this loss, the Jets requirement to intend their timing unitedly on choler and encounter structure to intend after the backwards on defense.
