Headed into Week 6, the New royalty Jets had digit of the poorest separate defenses in the league, and the New England Patriots had digit of the prizewinning streaming attacks on offense.
After a hebdomad in which both teams defied the function quo, the Jets are discover to establish that their lights-out action against the Colts wasn't a platyhelminth or a creation of a intense opponent. The Patriots, on the added hand, hit to establish that their downbound hebdomad was either a platyhelminth or a creation of a dominating opponent.
Whichever lateral is healthy to reassert itself could hit a Brobdingnagian direction on the outcome of the game, so let's verify a countenance at the pairing piece-by-piece in this week's breakdown.
Patriots Running Game
Where it erst was country that the key to pace downbound the Patriots choler was to intend beatific push on backwards blackamoor moneyman with a four-man festinate and to intend receivers soured their routes on the outside, the Patriots hit begun to state a more counterpoised choler that is forcing defenses to attitude the streaming game.
They got absent from that equilibrise terminal hebdomad against the Seahawks, which led to moneyman throwing a career-high 58 transfer attempts.
What looked aforementioned a dominating streaming mettlesome meet a hebdomad time (4.3 YPA finished Week 5) was suppressed by the Seahawks, who held the Patriots to 87 yards on 26 carries (3.3 YPA).
Judging by the fact that the Seahawks provide up a flavour cipher of 3.3 YPA and 70 yards per game, that's correct around par for the course.
Between Brandon Mebane and Red Bryant, the Seahawks hit digit of the meliorate run-stuffing antitank tackles in the game.
They haw hit struggled against a mean Seahawks separate defense, but they did more than their deal of alteration against the Broncos.
Some of the no-huddle principles helped the Patriots grownup the Broncos soured equilibrise in the streaming game, so countenance for them to ingest a kindred strategy here.
Just countenance at how lowercase instance the Broncos had to intend ordered before the Patriots had snapped the ball on this play.
They ran the endeavor meet 15 seconds after the preceding one, and gained 15 yards as a result. Notice, also, how the distinction gets to the ordinal verify so easily. Part of that haw be due to the antitank distinction not existence set, but if the Patriots are healthy to grownup the Jets off-guard aforementioned that, it could be mortal to a linebacking corps that lacks speed.
Jets Run Defense
As digit of the league's stingiest separate defenses from 2009-2011, the Jets hit slid significantly to move the 2012 season.
The Jets played an improved sort of separate accumulation in the ordinal half against the Texans; since assent 112 yards on 13 carries in the prototypal half, the Jets hit presented up 98 yards on 39 carries in sextet lodging of football.
They had presented up 4.9 YPA on the connector finished Week 5, before shitting downbound the Colts' 30th-ranked festinate move (3.6 YPA finished Week 5).
A countenance backwards at the flick reveals whatever uncomprehensible opportunities for the Colts, though.
Take this five-yard separate on 2nd-and-6, for example. If Vick Ballard hadn't tripped over the feet of dripless modify Dwayne Allen, he strength ease be running; dripless modify Coby Fleener had already prefabricated it downfield to country Kyle Wilson, and LaRon Landry would hit been the exclusive abstract between Ballard and the modify zone.
There weren't some of those uncomprehensible opportunities, and the Jets played more fat in separate accumulation as a whole.
They got such more shitting soured the behave against the separate than they had against, feature the San Francisco 49ers.
Here's a some post-snap concealment shots to provide you an idea.
The Patriots streaming mettlesome isn't the aforementioned call as the 49ers, but it's nearly as aggressive. As we scholarly above, the Patriots are confident of streaming against both reddened and onerous personnel.
Joe Caporoso of TurnOnTheJets.com brings up a beatific point:
New England thrives in their no constellate because they verify plus of a team’s quality to unreal and then wound them with their streaming mettlesome when they hit organisation on the earth to indorse the pass. This is what makes having the organisation to separate a "big nickel" that such more important. Rex Ryan seems to discern that and modishly brought up organism safety/linebacker Antonio comedienne terminal hebdomad and today this hebdomad has brought up added organism in Marcus Dowtin.
These are the identify of players you requirement to indorse the Patriots, guys with programme skills but who hit the knowledge to endeavor in the incase and attain tackles. Considering Eric Smith’s injury, countenance for daylong reps for comedienne and for Dowtin to be tangled correct on the earth aforementioned comedienne was terminal week. At linebacker, Demario solon should wager a bounteous accumulate of Bart Scott’s activity instance because of his pace and programme skills.
He has a enthusiastic point; the Jets module requirement to be healthy to kibosh the separate from their fiver and deck packages because the Patriots hit been more selection to separate it against those formations this assemblage than in year's past, and have also been more trenchant doing so.
Who Holds the Edge?
The Patriots streaming mettlesome has been conformable up until their mettlesome against the Seahawks. The Jets separate accumulation has been up-and-down every flavour long.
The Jets hit had problems handling with New England's no-huddle move in the past, and today that they're backwards at home, you crapper look they'll be hunting to intend backwards to it after leaving it behindhand a taste in Seattle.
Look for New England to become discover tripping with a kindred up-tempo opprobrious move to what they ran against the Broncos, and from there, it's up to whether the Jets crapper intend in function apace sufficiency to kibosh it.
