As we head into the 2015 NFL campaign, Bucky Brooks is identifying which teams have improved the most in particular position groupings since the end of last season. Today's focus: defensive backfields.
~ ~ 1) New York Jets
The Jets' secondary has gone from horrendous to tremendous with the additions of Darrelle Revis, Antonio Cromartie, Buster Skrine and Marcus Gilchrist. The combination of Revis and Cromartie on the edges gives Todd Bowles the freedom to attack opponents with bump-and-run coverage on every down. Additionally, the duo gives the defensive wizard an opportunity to match up with elite receivers based on physical dimensions or style of play -- Cromartie can take the big receivers, with Revis handling the short, quick pass catchers. Skrine is one of the best sub-corners in football, exhibiting solid instincts and awareness as CB3.
With three premier corners on the field, Bowles' blitz-heavy tactics could make it challenging for quarterbacks to string together completions on the perimeter.Now, Gilchrist's arrival was overshadowed by the cornerback signings, but his presence as the "MOF" safety is a key part of the Jets' defensive plan. With a veteran assuming the communication duties, Calvin Pryor is free to "run and hit" as the box safety on early downs. Given Pryor's success as a thumper in Louisville, the Jets' offseason additions could help him reach his potential as a playmaker.
Overall, the Jets' roster retooling in the secondary could make "Gang Green" the top defense in football.
