\"NY<\/a>New York Jets Report Card<\/strong><\/p>\n

Week 7: New England Patriots @ New York Jets<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quarterback:<\/strong> C+<\/p>\n

Smith: 17\/33 for 233 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, 6 rushes for 32 yards, 1 TD<\/p>\n

Maybe I\u2019m just a Jets \u201chomer,\u201d or maybe watching Sanchez play for 4 years has just rotted my mind, but Smith\u2019s pick 6 (which was a 2 score swing, by the way) doesn\u2019t bother me all that much. Was I throwing and breaking every object that I came in contact with at the time? Of course. Is Geno\u2019s 8:11 TD\/INT ratio good? Of course not. But there\u2019s a lot to like about what he brings to the table: his speed and athleticism, his even demeanor and his ability to throw the long ball. That\u2019s a huge departure from the Mark Sanchez days.<\/p>\n

Backs<\/strong>: C+<\/p>\n

Ivory: 34 rushes for 104 yards, 1 reception for -2 yards<\/p>\n

Bohannon: 6 rushes for 21 yards<\/p>\n

Powell: 3 rushes for 6 yards<\/p>\n

It was a very workman-like performance for Ivory, who ran for 104 yards but needed 34 chances to get there. The yards per carry average isn\u2019t thrilling, but Ivory ran with ferocity and determination.<\/p>\n

Wide Receivers\/Tight Ends:<\/strong> B<\/p>\n

Cumberland: 3 receptions for 41 yards<\/p>\n

Kerley: 8 receptions for 97 yards, 1 TD<\/p>\n

Hill: 1 reception for 17 yards<\/p>\n

Nelson: 4 receptions for 80 yards<\/p>\n

Easily the best game of the season for Kerley and Nelson, both made several fantastic grabs. Cumberland left a couple catches on the field. Hill was silenced for most of the game.<\/p>\n

Offensive Line:<\/strong> A-<\/p>\n

The Patriots had 4 sacks and the left side of the Jets offensive line was beaten too often, but they\u2019re going to get a good grade here because they controlled the time of possession and paved the way to an overtime field goal on the ground.<\/p>\n

Defensive Line<\/strong>: B<\/p>\n

Pressure against the quarterback was inconsistent, but the Jets were dropping men into coverage. Harrison and Wilkerson each posted a sack.<\/p>\n

Linebackers:<\/strong>\u00a0 C-<\/p>\n

Both Pace and Coples had a sack, and both forced a fumble, although neither of them were recovered by the Jets. \u00a0The Patriots put up just 90 yards rushing on the day, but they did so at a pace of 4.5 yards per carry.<\/p>\n

Secondary:<\/strong> A-<\/p>\n

Antonio Allen returned an interception for a touchdown. It was the first time Brady had thrown a pick 6 in nearly two full seasons of football. Brady threw for less than 230 yards, and completed less than half of his passes.<\/p>\n

Special Teams:<\/strong> C+<\/p>\n

Julian Edelman torched the Jets in coverage, but the Jets returned the favor with Joshua Cribbs. Nick Folk was 3\/3 on field goals, and remains perfect on the season due to a penalty that called back his 56 yard miss in overtime.<\/p>\n

Coaching:<\/strong> B+<\/p>\n

The Patriots scored 21 points in the 1st<\/sup> half (7 off of an interception) but were held to just 6 points in the 2nd<\/sup> half. The coaching staff deserves credit for those halftime adjustments. Marty Mornhinweg drew up a conservative run-heavy game plan to attack the Patriots defensive deficiencies. Penalties remain a concern for the Jets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
