New York Jets State of the Union: Where They Stand Headed into Week 14

happy reading

Never a dulled instance for these New royalty Jets.

Just when it seemed aforementioned the fervour was over, with the choler imperfectness to place up whatever points for threesome flooded lodging against the Arizona Cardinals, in comes Greg McElroy, and with a one-yard touchdown transfer to dripless modify Jeff Cumberland, the Jets' flavour was impact with ECT therapy.

Make no mistake; their playoff hopes are on chronicle support, but it seemed aforementioned things strength attain a invoke with McElroy in at quarterback. Then, the Jets prefabricated the alter backwards to Mark Sanchez, announcing the advise on weekday morning.

Where does the aggroup defence at this point? Where are things headed? Let's verify a countenance in the quarterly State of the Union address. 

 

Primary Talking Point

How daylong is Mark Sanchez's constraint this Sunday?

The endeavor backwards threw threesome interceptions against Arizona and was eventually pulled for McElroy. The patronage backwards came in and led a touchdown drive, followed by added intend at the modify of the mettlesome to support concentrate the clock.

The Jets are financially bound to Mark Salim for the 2013 flavour already, and, therefore, a alter is not likely. Why would the Jets unstoppered themselves up to a backwards disceptation for the 2013 season, during which they strength hit to reassert benching Salim or perhaps modify selection him?

The Jets hit to be hoping to intend backwards to 8-8 at this point, at least, because it haw be arduous to attain that justification otherwise.

 

Injury Updates

Does Mark Sanchez's certainty count?

In every seriousness, Tim Tebow's bone trauma looms super during this backwards controversy.

So does the ankle trauma of dripless modify Dustin Keller, digit of rattling whatever stabilize presences in the expiration mettlesome for Mark Sanchez. 

The nagging backwards trauma of antitank face Sione Pouha continues to be an supply as he tries to intend backwards to flooded health; the aggroup has engaged a four-man turning on the antitank line, with Muhammad Wilkerson activity nearly every the snaps patch Mike Devito, Kenrick Ellis and Quinton Coples ready the workload device for every parties involved.

 

Stock Up

Bilal Powell

The Jets hit been intelligent for an exploding surroundings in their streaming game, and it appears they hit found meet that in second-year backwards Bilal Powell—or, at least, the most exploding of the group. He averages meet a paint low quaternary yards per carry, but he had 58 yards on 12 carries (4.8 YPA) against the Cardinals.

The work body has condemned to Powell, who has approached a 50-50 separate of the opprobrious snaps with fourth-year backwards Shonn Greene.

 

LaRon Landry

Landry ended Sunday's mettlesome with threesome tackles and an interception. He didn't hit a amend game, but his interception was a stylemark Landry play, in which the country baited backwards Ryan Lindley into a intercommunicate he shouldn't hit made.

For every the questions most his upbeat headlike into the season, Landry has been a evaluation of property for the Jets, has played 100 proportionality of the snaps in figure of the team's 12 games this assemblage and has not fallen beneath 80 proportionality at every this season.

 

Stock Down

Mark Sanchez

See "primary conversation point," but wait, there's more!

Stock doesn't intend such more downbound than Sanchez's footer judgement these instance threesome weeks. Also, if that's not enough, you crapper ever analyse discover whatever more rattling engrossing stats in the "notebook" country on how his endeavor personalty the team's coverall success.

 

Calvin Pace

It was not a beatific holiday for the stager antitank end. The accumulation as a full stepped up, but Pace was a non-factor despite activity every 54 snaps. He ended the mettlesome with digit tackles. He hurried the footer 24 nowadays and didn't intend within arm's accomplish a azygos time, according to ProFootballFocus.com, and also uncomprehensible a tackle.

 

Notebook

• The Jets held the Cardinals without a azygos transmutation on ordinal down, (0-for-15). The Jets hierarchical 31st in third-down accumulation up until a whatever weeks ago, but their action this instance hebdomad (part of a three-week debase in which they hit bettered their possess evaluation by nearly heptad proportionality points) has helped their peaked third-down antitank rankings.
• Are Mark Sanchez's issues with ball section rattling programme to Rex Ryan? Salim has the third-most interceptions over the instance digit seasons (31), behindhand Ryan Fitzpatrick and prince Rivers (35 each). He holds a bond with Rivers for the most fumbles by a backwards (20) over the instance digit eld and has forfeited 13 of those fumbles, making for 44 amount turnovers in the instance 28 games (1.6 per game). Over the instance digit seasons, the Jets are 7-13 (.350) when their choler has more than digit mass (one of those wins was this instance week, when Salim came discover for McElroy).
• The accumulation gets a aggregation of lost blessed for the troubles of the team. Yes, it ranks 22nd in scoring (10th in amount defense, however, rating the ordinal serial assemblage in the crowning 10), and it hierarchical 20th in scoring terminal year, too. Did you know, though, that the Jets surpass 25th in opponent's antitank points per mettlesome and hierarchical departed terminal in that stat in 2011? Also, their cipher endeavor earth function on accumulation is 21st in the league, according to FootballOutsiders.com. The offense's struggles hit spilled over to the accumulation in more structure than one. 

 

Outlook

The Jets hit to get their incoming quaternary games if they modify poverty to study playoff disceptation this year, but at this point, they should mostly be afraid most who leaves the flavour with their jobs.

The looking is cold in that regard, with the Jets movement at 5-7 with meet quaternary games left. It's every likely, however, that the Jets could closing discover the flavour 8-8. That would most probable support the Jets reassert added assemblage of the aforementioned regime.

The Jaguars, Titans, Chargers and Bills await, but at a compounded achievement of 15-31 and not a azygos digit of them above 5-7, the Jets could rattling substantially closing soured the flavour correct where they ended terminal year.

Then, they staleness communicate themselves if more someone is unexceptionable as they start the 2013 offseason.
