We need basically a new secondary.

I'll be curious to see Maye and Davis in this scheme. Both seem to excel (relatively speaking) dropping back more than attacking the LOS.

Post by: Heismanberg on January 15, 2021, 08:43:54 AM
Ashtyn Davis is an ideal fit in the Cover 3.  He's intelligent and he's fast as hell. 

Marcus Maye earned his right to stay in New York and I think Joe Douglas values him in the locker room, but Saleh might prefer to go get Tartt.

I'd be surprised if the combo of Maye/Tartt isn't workable financially. 3 safety rotation would probably we useful for us anyways.

Besides I'm ready to be done with Matthias Farley aka the new Rontez Miles.

Hall was actually a perfect fit in Gregg's scheme.  It was pure Tampa 2. 

I say sign Williams and let Poole go.  Much better fit than Poole.

Bryce Hall, Michael Carter II, and Brandon Echols are all ranked within the top 35 CBs by PFF, 93 qualifiers.
Title: Re: Bob Salad’s Defense
Post by: SixFeetDeep on September 14, 2021, 07:58:14 PM

Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold threw 15 passes in which a Jets cornerback was the primary defender, according to Pro Football Focus. Nine of those were completed for a measly 77 yards (5.1 per target), four first downs (29% of passes), and zero touchdowns.

The average of 5.1 yards per target allowed by New York’s cornerback unit was the third-best mark of any cornerback unit in the NFL in Week 1, trailing only the 49ers (5.0) and Eagles (4.4).

Here are the coverage numbers of the four Jets cornerbacks to play against the Panthers:

Bryce Hall (LCB): 37 coverage snaps, 1/2 passing for 9 yards and 1 first down
Brandin Echols (RCB): 29 coverage snaps, 3/5 passing for 26 yards and 1 first down
Michael Carter II (SCB): 20 coverage snaps, 3/5 passing for 17 yards and 1 first down
Javelin Guidry: (RCB): 12 coverage snaps, 2/3 passing for 25 yards and 1 first down
The starting trio of Hall (outside left), Echols (outside right), and Carter II (slot) was excellent. They combined to allow 7-of-12 passing for 52 yards (4.3 per target) and three first downs (25% rate).

Guidry struggled a bit as the Jets’ fourth corner, handling a new role as he played right cornerback instead of the slot role he manned in 2020 and throughout the 2021 offseason. Over a limited number of snaps, he let up a 27-yard first down to D.J. Moore and should have given up another big first down but lucked out as Moore dropped an easy catch over the middle.

Hall held the fort down tremendously as the Jets’ left cornerback and No. 1 player at the position.

Playing a team-high 37 snaps in coverage and staying on the field for all 64 defensive snaps (with all 64 coming on the left side of the defense), Hall allowed a nine-yard first down to Christian McCaffrey in the first quarter and never gave up another the catch over the rest of the game. His average of 0.24 yards allowed per cover snap ranked seventh-best among the 64 cornerbacks to play at least 30 snaps in coverage.

Echols was the Jets’ right cornerback and No. 2 player on the depth chart, playing 46 defensive snaps (72% of the snaps). All of his snaps came on the right side of the defense. He gave up a 13-yard first down to D.J. Moore on a back-shoulder throw in the first quarter and never yielded another chain-mover in the game over four ensuing targets.

Carter II was challenged often in the slot. When lined up in the slot, he saw a target once every 3.8 snaps in coverage, which ranked as the fourth-most-frequent rate among 38 qualified slot defenders in Week 1.

But the rookie made Carolina pay for testing him. He allowed a passer rating of 66.3 across five targets in his direction, ranking sixth-best among slot defenders.

The greatest aspect of the unit’s performance is how fundamentally sound it was. The four cornerbacks combined for zero penalties and zero missed tackles. They were one of only five cornerback units to accomplish that in Week 1.

In addition, the Jets’ cornerback unit was one of only two to combine for zero touchdowns allowed, zero penalties, and zero missed tackles. The other features the most expensive cornerback duo in the NFL – the Miami Dolphins’ unit headlined by Xavien Howard and Byron Jones.

Saleh's defense has been mostly as advertised.

I would like to see how they do when the offense can actually threaten other teams. My dad has often theorized in recent years that the Jets defense looks better statistically than it really is because teams are so unthreatened by the Jets offense that they play conservatively because they know if they don't make huge mistakes, our offense can't beat them.

But the early returns are strong, especially considering the youth and the injuries. As Q continues to ramp up, the Davis brothers return, and the young players get experience, hopefully it improves as the year goes on.

I think it’s a fairly safe bet that we just had our highest single game sack output of the season. So I’d say due to small sample size we are a bit inflated. Now if we can get another 4-5 sack performance against the Falcons I’ll be a believer in our pass rush being a true thing

I’d like to see us go against David Quessenberry every week, but that seems fairly unlikely

Depending on what we do in free agency, Brian Branch is the prospect I want most in this draft class.

Safety/Nickel/Linebacker Hybrid

We'd have to upgrade OL and WR in free agency to consider him.  The close we are to the Top 10 matters too.  It's still very early but for me, Branch is a Top 5 overall prospect but his position value will cause him to slide a bit. 

He's the kind of prospect that can have a Sauce-like impact from Day 1.  Physical ballhawk, sure tackler, team leader.
Title: Re: Bob Salad’s Defense
Post by: Heismanberg on January 03, 2023, 09:02:59 AM
Saleh/Ulbrich return in 2023 and our realstic top defensive prospect targets should be:

Brian Branch - DB - Alabama
Trenton Simpson - LB - Clemson
Drew Sanders - LB - Arkansas
Tyree Wilson - EDGE - Texas Tech
Isaiah Foskey - EDGE - Notre Dame
Siaki Ika - DT - Baylor
Bryan Bresee - DT - Clemson

It's much more likely we'll go OL or WR (maybe TE) early though.

There were multiple games this season where teams made a ton of overly conservative play calls and 4th-down decisions, presumably because they didn't think we could move the ball.

No idea who this is or if it's accurate, but if so, that's pretty impressive.  One one hand, being able to get pressure with very little blitzing is awesome.  On the other hand, did getting that much pressure without blitzing make the secondary look better than they actually were?  Since we didn't send extra players, they were able to hang back and defend the pass. We also were able to do it by investing a lot of manpower in that d-line.  Can we keep doing that in absence of good drafting?

Yeah I expect a slight regression . Top 10 without a doubt but top 3 may be hard .

We also were uncharacteristically healthy on D minus Rankins and Q a few games. 

Fingers crossed. 

But Rodgers should help offset some of this since we won't have the worst qb play in the league leaving them on the field all day lol

People mentioned Rogers meh 2022 season as being only a year or so removed from MVP caliber; the 2022 Jets defense was only a year removed from bottom rung Sauce or no Sauce.  I just hope our top 15 pick doesn’t turn out to be solely a frequently rotated situational pass rusher (vs. e.g. a new QB friendly OL upgrade).

It’s pretty obvious that we’re strong at Edge and CB. What’s the Achilles heel of this D?

1) Stopping the run?
2) overall safety play?
3) linebacker coverage?
LB depth

He's a lock and a key rotational player.  Saleh is trying to let the interior depth guys battle it out.

I'm going to go with Linebacker coverage...especially when it comes to TEs.

This seems to bite us in the derriere on an annual basis.

Good and thx, was just hoping he was ok.  Was aware that he’s bulked up for a move to the inside.

We're pretty inconsistent against tight ends.

I think our safeties deserve some blame here too.

Post by: Derek Smalls on August 14, 2023, 03:30:10 PM
I think our run defense needs to prove itself. I'm not worried about it, but I also don't know if that will be a major strength.

We also were burned a few times by deep balls last season with bad safety play. Our safeties need to be more consistent in coverage and in tackling.

Both our linebackers and safeties also contribute to tight ends being OK against us. But I think part of that is exacerbated because our cornerbacks are so damn good that teams don't want to throw at them.

Writer spin.  He said we CAN be that good, not we WILL be that good.  But it won't stop anyone from running with that BS.  Prime example of why players should follow the Belichick method of saying nothing.

There's a good argument for grey-rocking the media but it's also on fans to have a basic level of media literacy that can recognize spin.

Yeah, this is just a headline writer being careless (or trying to get more clicks).

"Can" should be used instead of "Will" but whatever.

Not really Saleh's defense specifically, but this is an interesting and insightful breakdown of quarters coverage.

Honestly…

Allen 3 INTs
Mahomes 2 (should have been 3) INTs
Hurts 3 INTs

And in each game, we freaking dropped ANOTHER one. It’s insane how good this defense is. And today, despite no Sauce or DJ Reed we balled out. And I am freaking shocked to see it.

I actually don't think we'll lose Ulbrich yet. Lots of good defenses in the NFL, and I don't know if the Jets are the organization you want to be hiring guys from. And offensive coaches will always get hired first.

Granted, if we go like 11-6 or something, he's probably gone.

I guess we'll have to wait until our top 3 DLine are out before we can answer that for sure but the team held up without Reed and Sauce for a while.

The defense caved at the end of the first half and gifted the Raiders points with a bonehead penalty.

They also struggled against the run.

No one gets a pass.  Sauce Gardner’s attempt to tackle Jacobs on his long run was one of the worst plays of our season.

Again...the defense isn't going to be perfect all season. They're going to have a bad game or 2.  They still only gave up 16 pts...a milquetoast offense would've won the game last night.

The offense is bad every week. Every facet of that group.
