Out-of-gas Jets could have done better job managing playing time
Facing the most pass-heavy offensive attack in the last 10 years, the New York Jets were gassed in the fourth quarter on Sunday. Hey, it happens. But they could’ve mitigated the damage by using more pass rushers.
Four pass rushers played at least 67 percent of the defensive snaps in the 30-23 loss to the New England Patriots: Muhammad Wilkerson (94 percent), Sheldon Richardson (87), Leonard Williams (70) and Calvin Pace (67). Nose tackle Damon Harrison, usually a first- and second-down player, got more work than usual (55).But there was a huge dropoff after that. Leger Douzable played only 10 percent of the snaps and Quinton Coples -- though his role was larger than the last two weeks -- logged 35 percent. Where was rookie pass rusher Lorenzo Mauldin? Why not give Trevor Reilly a little work? It's not a coincidence that all three sacks came in the first half.
Wilkerson didn’t deny that fatigue was a factor late in the game.
“It happens,” he said. “You have to get past it.”
Granted, the Patriots can make it difficult to substitute because of their hurry-up attack, but the Jets could’ve found ways to change personnel. As a result, their pass rush was moving in quicksand as Brady shredded the secondary.Here is a remarkable statistic: The Patriots dropped back to pass on 90.9 percent of their offensive plays, the highest percentage of any team over the last 10 years, according to ESPN Stats & Information. Normally, that’s a recipe for failure, but the Patriots are 4-0 over the last 10 years when throwing at least 80 percent of the time.
The rest of the league is 3-109.
A look at the snap counts from the game :

Quarterback: Ryan Fitzpatrick 72.
Running back: Chris Ivory 37, Zac Stacy 35, Tommy Bohanon 23.
Wide receiver: Brandon Marshall 72, Eric Decker, 68, Chris Owusu 32, Jeremy Kerley 29, Devin Smith 17.
Tight end: Kellen Davis 25, Jeff Cumberland 22.
Line: D'Brickashaw Ferguson 72, James Carpenter 72, Nick Mangold 69, Willie Colon 72, Breno Giacomini 72, Dakota Dozier 3.
DEFENSE (Based on 67)
Line: Wilkerson 63, Richardson 58, Williams 47, Harrison 37, Douzable 6, Stephen Bowen 6.
Linebacker: David Harris 67, Demario Davis 67, Pace 45, Coples 24, Jamari Lattimore 1.
Secondary: Darrelle Revis 67, Antonio Cromartie 66, Marcus Gilchrist 66, Buster Skrine 42, Calvin Pryor 35, Dion Bailey 28, Marcus Williams 12.

I really do not think the D line being gassed was the biggest issue. The simple fact is that the Jets D did not generate many free rushes at the QB. The D is predicated on Blitzes that create un unblocked rusher. The Pats picked almost all of them up. It also didn't help that the Jets 2 best DB blitzers -- Skrine and Pryor --- were injured.
That said, those 1st round picks on the D line need to man up, make a move and beat their block to create pressure. I love Mo, but in a game like Sunday, he needs to have plays where he is unblockable if he wants to be paid like an elite defender.

We were thinking it would be the Cheaters defense who would be gassed late in the game, and opined that while Ivory was a little banged up, possibly he was being held out, but being kept lose by riding the bike to punish them in the fourth quarter, and seal the game. |

I thought a line with Williams, Sheldon and Mo would be collapsing pockets consistently and produce pretty steady pressure on QBs. Kind of disappointed not to see that so far. Also shows how much they need a real speed rushing threat to make this defense complete, a pass rusher that OCs have to account for. Can't fix everything in one year but i hope that's draft priority next year.

A safe prediction: Todd Bowles won't bury a football this week. His predecessor, Rex Ryan, did that once after a loss to the New England Patriots. No, really, he did. A staffer dug a hole near one of the New York Jets' practice fields, and Ryan conducted a ball-burying ceremony with the team at the site. The understated Bowles will adhere to conventional methods as the Jets (4-2) attempt to rebound from a tough loss to the undefeated Patriots when they face the Raiders. On Monday, his message to the team was this: Let it go, don't let it beat you twice."If we linger on this game, we're going to get beat next week," Bowles said. "Oakland played a heck of a ballgame (Sunday). We have to move on. We know what kind of fight we have. We have to make sure we take care of the little things." The Raiders (3-3) are coming off a 37-29 road win against the San Diego Chargers. They have a young quarterback-receiver tandem in Derek Carr and Amari Cooper, and a defensive stud in Khalil Mack. The game is in Oakland; the Jets will leave Friday after practice to get acclimated to the three-hour time change."The one thing we can't do is let this (loss) resonate," veteran Willie Colon said. "We have to be able to drop it because Oakland is a good team and they're fighting hard, and their trend is going upward. "Obviously, it was a tough loss, but we have to be able to move on from it," he continued. "If we don't and we go into Oakland with it still in our minds, and we're not physical like we need to be, Oakland will beat us. And we can't have that." For what it's worth: Since the infamous ball burying in 2010, the Jets are 4-4 the week after losing to New England. > espn.go.com/blog/newyork-jets/post/_/id/55432/time-for-jets-to-bury-loss-to-patriots-sans-shovels |
