The New York Jets spent the week focusing on how to stop the wildcat offense.\u00a0 In their previous meeting against the Miami Dolphins they were burned by the Dolphins offense.\u00a0 They worked hard and were determined to shut it down.<\/p>\n
The results for the Jets defense today?\u00a0 They were pretty good.\u00a0 The Jets only allowed 104 yards of total offense (52 passing and 52 rushing).\u00a0 The Miami running game averaged 2.3 yards per carry and the Jets added 6 sacks.<\/p>\n
Yet the Jets lost the game.<\/p>\n
Two touchdowns by Ted Ginn Jr. on kickoff returns and another touchdown by Jason Taylor after a Shonne Greene fumble and it was just too much to overcome.\u00a0 Looks like the Jets head into the bye week with a few new items to practice.\u00a0 They entered the game 2nd in the NFL on kickoff yardage allowed.\u00a0 They left the game in much worse shape.<\/p>\n
4 wins, 4 losses going into the bye week.\u00a0 Not a terrible record for a new coach with a rookie quarterback.\u00a0 Not a terrible record for a team that lost Leon Washington and Kris Jenkins to season ending injuries.\u00a0 Except this team likes to talk a lot.\u00a0 They like to tell everyone how good they are.\u00a0\u00a0 The Miami Dolphins are good at serving up humble pie for Rex Ryan.\u00a0 Early indications are that as much as Rex likes pie, humble is his least favorite.<\/p>\n
