I think its a given that they will effectively run the ball on us. Lets be honest. I think a bigger concern is being able to get pressure on Brady on passing downs. I think the key on offense is to be able to consistantly get between 3-4yds a carry with Houston and Washington, so that Pennington is not put in 3rd and long situations. The big test is going to come from the O-line and its ability to kepp the NE pass rush off of Pennington long enough to get Coles and Cotchery involved in the vertical passing game. The Pats are playing great right now winning their last three, and will be healthy on the defensive line. Ty Warren didnt play in the last game against the Jets and he is arguably their best d-lineman. If the Patriots think it was a fluke they lost last time, they will probably lose again though
Right now the Jets have an edge to this situation and its all mental. Before this game gets underway on Sunday in Foxboro. Beleichick is already cursing Mangini again. He knows that it's going to be a bigger fight than what it was before the Jets faced them after their bye week. The Jets are on a roll and that makes them a very dangerous side against a somewhat confident Pats side. They all know what's infront of them and Mangini is probably still giving the Pats mental fits during this week of practice. As long as the Jets disguise their blitz packages on Brady alot better than what they showed in the last game, they will be having problems. Since the ending of the Broncos/49ers game Belechick was already cursing out Mangini's name. He doesn't want to lose to us again in the biggest game of the 2006/07 season. Till we get to Foxboro right now the chess game has already begun. Mangini is playing it cool as a cucumber while Billy boy is already having fits at his training facillity. :jets: :beer:
I agree with this...Jets' need to get off early or just keep game close early. If Jets' can get 3 turnovers & only give up 1....Jets' can then win. Jets' need to score at least 24 pts. Final score : 24 - 20 Jets.
AlToon4prez. So how long did that take you to find the Penguin costume from the 60's Batman TV Show for Mangini & Paint it Green? LOL That is awesome man. :lol:
I'm looking forward to this game. We have nothing to lose. We win and we gain a hell a lot of national respect. They'll run on us, but in general running does not score points. So Brady will have to bring his A game. I, still after all these years, love how everyone praises Brady. If Bledsoe didn't get knocked out of that game by the Jets, where would Brady be?
