Someone was saying in another thread -- C Mart I believe -- that the Jets should be playing a lot of 4-2-5 looks with the increasingly apparent slowness of the linebacking corps. I hope this happens. Allen is the perfect SS/LB hybrid player (and frankly all our safeties but Bush could play it). They should keep the coverage shell more or less intact: Cro, Wilson, Bell, Landry. Then rotate through Allen, Smith (when he's back), Lankster, and Bush for fifth DB spot. On obvious passing downs, front four should be Wilkerson and DeVito inside, Coples/random OLB outside. I'm no Pettine but it seems clear to me the Jets should be moving toward speed packages at this point. You can't get worse at stopping the run, and it gives you a better chance to counter the spread.
