If you're in the right position, hit low, and grab with both hands you might bring someone down.

Tell your friends.

On that end around, he overran the play so bad... If he holds his spot, then they tackle for a loss

Wrap up, taught on the youth level.

Bart Scott and Jim Leonard came here as strengths of the defense, now they are weaknesses.

We should have signed Ray Lewis.

Jim Leonard's whiff on McFadden's breakaway run was embarrassing but it happens regularly to people trying to tackle McFadden in the open field.
In a different sport - growing up in a rugby-playing country we were taught to tackle low, wrapping up with both hands. Once you got the technique down it always worked. However I'd imagine tackling someone like McFadden makes it a lot harder than it looks.

Speaking of tackling...very impressed by the job Kyle Wilson has been doing tackling...technique is very sound...you can tell he has worked hard during the offseason

We're 3 weeks into the season.

This is part of the problem. Also, how about the fact that nobody is stripping the ball? I don't understand how we don't create turnovers with the defense we have. We could have stripped the ball any number of times last week when the first guy had the RB wrapped up and held him up at the line of scrimmage. We actually did a pretty good job against the run and stopped their RBs at the line a lot. Most of the rushing yards came on that one long McFadden TD where three of our guys were being held.

Respectfully, 3 games into a 16 week season is 20% of the season.

In baseball, I think you'd say that judging a team after its first 32 games is a pretty good indicator of where they're headed. Surely we can turn things around, but as it stands today it's bad enough we have all these offensive issues; to have these types of defensive issues is shocking. Were Sean Ellis and Jason Taylor that good?

Leonard is horrible. He needs to be replaced this offseason.

I think Sean Ellis was an anchor for the defensive line. I always felt getting rid of him was an ego issue on Rex's part - Ellis didn't kiss Rex's ass so he was let go.

I just don't see Rex realizing this. He's convinced that JL is qb of the D and will play no matter what.

IRONFAN 40 · 09-28-2011, 09:17 AM

Leonard was brought here because he knew the system and it was new to our defense. He served his purpose and now safety needs to be upgraded. Smith also can go. But Rex loyalty again effects his judgement. You want to be elite well scheme can't be relied on solely. You also need talent at key positions. Revis is our only true talent on the field on defense.

rextilleon · 09-28-2011, 09:22 AM

Finally people are realizing that Lenarod is finished.

Jethead · 09-28-2011, 09:25 AM

Scott definitely had a bad game against the Raiders but I thought he played well in the first two games.
Jets D lacks perimiter speed and opponents can exploit that weakness. All teams are vulnerable somewhere.
I am disappointed with the play of Leonard and Smith. Feast or famine.

He is a smart player but he needs to be teamed up with a ball hawk back there.
