This is an excerpt from the Buffalo News. It sums up what our D-line was doing to Buffalo's o-line all day. It also backs up Jenkins god-like performance. :beer: Here?s a closer look at what went wrong in pass protection: ? On the Bills? second possession of the game, Edwards looks to the left where WRs Lee Evans and Stevie Jackson are running routes. Evans gets jammed by OLB Calvin Pace and CB Dwight Lowery, delaying his route and making Edwards hold the ball. Just as Edwards prepares to dump the ball off to RB Marshawn Lynch in the left flat, CB Darrelle Revis blitzes off the left side of the defense and hits Edwards from behind, causing a fumble. Edwards wouldn?t say who was to blame, but FB Corey McIntyre should have picked pick up Revis but stepped up in the pocket too far. ? On Edwards? interception to Jets SS Abram Elam that was returned for a touchdown, the Jets rushed four men. Bills RG Derrick Dockery was one on one against Jets NT Kris Jenkins. Jenkins easily discarded Dockery, using his left arm to knock him off balance, and charged uncontested into Edwards. Parrish slipped coming out of his break, but Elam was in better position and would have made the pick anyway. ? The Jets? second sack was more the result of good coverage than a great rush. They sent five guys, Edwards had a clean pocket. He just had no one open. He attempted to run, but slid down when LB David Bowens abandoned coverage on Evans and came toward the line of scrimmage. ? Jenkins wreaked havoc on the Bills? offensive line all day, and it was no different on his third-quarter sack. The Bills are in the shotgun with no backs, three receivers and two tight ends. The Jets show blitz and bring five. Jenkins takes on Dockery and C Duke Preston. But on the right side, RT Langston Walker comes off a double team too late to keep OLB Bryan Thomas from pressuring Edwards out of the pocket. Jenkins sheds Dockery and Preston and drags Edwards down for a 5-yard loss. ? Jenkins? pressure almost forces an interception early in the fourth quarter. The Jets run a double stunt. First, OLB Calvin Pace rushes outside and then cuts back inside behind DE Kenyon Coleman. Pace?s inside move draws Dockery and allows Jenkins to get away from Preston by looping around Pace and get another shot on Edwards, whose pass sailed behind Lynch and should have been picked off by CB David Barrett. ? Four plays later, Jenkins got to Edwards before the ball was gone. Preston appeared to try to put his right shoulder into Jenkins, but Jenkins slipped past him. Jenkins? bull rush on Whittle was so overpowering that Whittle ended up bent backward on his knees. Jenkins then proceeded to wrap and slam Edwards to the turf for a 6-yard loss. ? The hits just kept on coming for Edwards two plays later. The good news was Jenkins was off the field. The bad news was it didn?t matter. Once again, Whittle gets driven to his knees on a power rush, this one by DE Shaun Ellis. Edwards almost slips away from Ellis, who holds onto one leg until DT C. J. Mosley, who got away from Dockery, buries Edwards from behind.
So true. New York papers always focus on the drama and personality. Its nice to see a beat writer write some analysis
Wow, that article is clear, concise, informitive etc. I do not think I ever saw a NYC paper break down events of a game that way, without installing opinions and biased rants.
Yeah, this was a very good article. Everyone at the Bills board has a much deserved, new appreciation for Jenkins.
Can you give us the writer, newspaper so we can send him a pat on the back for actually being a journalist and not a Drama queen.
One of the most entertaining articles I've read from a beat writer. Probably has to write articles like this because he is throwing the guilty Bills under the bus hence no quotes from them.
Hahahaha man Jenkins is a force. Playing a position that's supposed to go unnoticed and unrecognized and yet all the analysts on TV and radio have given him the credit he deserves. You know you're dominating when that happens.
Great article. The writer obviously knows and understands football, and is sharing his knowledge with the reader. If all the Buffalo papers write like that, then I have absolutely no doubt that the Buffalo fans have more knowledge than the NY fans, who are on their own. It is absolutely impossible to see all of this happening, especially with our limited views on television and with so much happening at once. I did notice some of this, especially since I actually rewatched some plays just to focus on what Jenkins was doing, but this was far better than me spending the time doing that even. I want to see this guy get a job on TV or somewhere else that he'd get more exposure. Just great work. And of course, Jenkins play can not be overstated.
The Jets beat writers suck balls. They are among the worst I have ever seen. Cimini just looks for negative bullshit to write, Canolizaro is more concerned ordering cheeseburgers then writing...........screw them all. Well except Boland I kind of like him. They are more concerned with getting the booboo report from Mangini then actual reporting. Edit: This article is the kind of info we never get from the jackasses that cover this team. It was well written, go figure. Again, why is it that the best info we get are from posters that go to training camp like Seminolejet (hahaha JetCane), section whatever and the few others. Then we have guys like Broadway that take the time to review Bricks play etc. Really do we need those stiffs wer call beat writers? I think not.
What a good game that was. Anybody know where the Jets stand on the Sacks standings overall? I think they were top 5 before they went into that game.
Yea thats what I was thinking. We're in this big giant city where it's supposed to be heaven for sports...and everyday we're stuck reading a bunch of sports journalists who want to be a mix of Freud and Frost.
