New York Jets Week 3 Report Card<\/p>\n
Jets @ Miami Dolphins<\/p>\n
Quarterbacks: A+<\/p>\n
Mark Sanchez: 15\/28, 256, 3 TD, 0 INT<\/p>\n
The Sanchez of 2010 is suddenly leaps and bounds above the Sanchez of 09. Sophomore slump? Who says so? Mark has put together back to back 3 touchdown games.<\/p>\n
Running backs: B+<\/p>\n
Tomlinson: 15\/70\/1<\/p>\n
Greene: 10\/36\/0<\/p>\n
Smith: 3\/41<\/p>\n
Greene is the starter in name only \u2013 Tomlinson has become the primary ball carrier. Greene\u2019s struggles continue, but LT looks spry. While he\u2019s not technically a running back, Brad Smith had a quality game running the wildcat \u2013 especially converting a huge 3rd<\/sup> and long. I\u2019m going to throw him in here. I\u2019m consistently amazed at how lanky and slow he looks while he\u2019s breaking off huge chunks of yardage. The guy has a nose for blocks.<\/p>\n Wide receivers\/Tight Ends: A-<\/p>\n Keller: 6\/98\/2<\/p>\n Cotchery: 2\/20\/0<\/p>\n Edwards: 2\/87\/1<\/p>\n Clowney: 1\/22\/0<\/p>\n Another tremendous game for Dustin Keller, who caught 2 touchdown passes. Edwards keeps showing big play ability and Cotchery is always a good target to help move the chains.<\/p>\n Offensive Line: C<\/p>\n I\u2019d like to see the offensive line create a bit more push. Slauson keeps getting flagged.<\/p>\n Defensive Line: B-<\/p>\n The defensive line has to do a better job of creating pressure on the quarterback. The line did a good job in the run game, limiting Miami to 84 yards on the ground. Newly re-acquired tackle Howard Green forced a fumble and Shaun Ellis contributed a sack.<\/p>\n Linebackers: \u00a0C<\/p>\n Again, while they need to put more pressure on the quarterback, they limited Miami to just 3.7 yards per carry on the ground which is admirable. Taylor sacked Henne once in his homecoming. Does anyone have Calvin Pace\u2019s address so that I can send him a \u201cget well soon\u201d card?<\/p>\n Secondary:\u00a0 D<\/p>\n Chad Henne carved up the field against the Revis-less secondary, and without a great offensive showing, the Jets would not have won this game. \u00a0There are times when Antonio Cromartie truly shines \u2013 and there are other times where he trips over his own feet. Drew Coleman intercepted a pass to seal the victory for the Jets, thus making it one of the few times where I\u2019m looking at his jersey and not screaming profanities.<\/p>\n Special teams: B<\/p>\n Neither Weatherford nor Folk embarrassed themselves. Eric Smith blocked a punt. Brad Smith had a 37 yard average on kick returns. So from now on, let\u2019s just get all the \u201cSmiths\u201d we can and throw them onto the special teams.<\/p>\n Coaching: C<\/p>\n Rex needs to use his timeouts more wisely in the first half; perhaps crowd noise was an issue in the Jets first away game. \u00a0You would like to see Rex coach up his defense a bit more in the absence of Revis, Pace and Jenkins but I figure he\u2019s doing all that he can right now. Schotty again put Sanchez in a position to succeed. Whatever Westhoff is doing is working.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" New York Jets Week 3 Report Card Jets @ Miami Dolphins Quarterbacks: A+ Mark Sanchez: 15\/28, 256, 3 TD, 0 INT The Sanchez of 2010 is suddenly leaps and bounds above the Sanchez of 09.
