You gotta give the New York Jets one thing…they are never boring. \u00a0The jury is out on whether this team is better or worse \u00a0heading into 2012, but with the addition of Tim Tebow, now the most famous backup quarterback in league history, the Jets certainly grabbed some headlines away from their stadiummates the Giants. \u00a0 <\/p>\n
New York Jets Team Preview \/Predictions<\/strong>
\n2011 Record: \u00a08-8
\n2011 ATS Record: \u00a06-9-1
\n2012 Futures:
\nSuper Bowl: +2800
\nConference: +1150
\nDivision: +650
\nWin Total: 8.5<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nHopefully that is all the news this summer as there are hints CB Darelle Revis might hold out.<\/p>\n
I do believe there is a place for Tebow in the NFL but I think it is an \u00a0interesting strategy for New York to pin the hopes of improving their offense on him.<\/p>\n
Their receivers as a whole are average and their running backs don\u2019t inspire much confidence. \u00a0For this offense to be a real threat they need draft pick receiver Stephen Hill, a physical freak to be a factor.<\/p>\n
Can he be the next Georgia Tech NFL receiver sensation?<\/p>\n
On defense they just have to make more big plays. \u00a0The guys at the back end are great and now they have a real thumper at safety with the addition of Laron Landry. \u00a0[soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n
But if the guys up front can\u2019t create create some havoc, this team is not strong enough to compete. \u00a0Last year no one on the team had more than 6 sacks and I am not convinced the addition of a rookie end is going to be a cure-all. \u00a0Rex Ryan may have to get a little crazy out there.<\/p>\n
He is doing it on offense so why not defense.<\/p>\n
The Jets were the rare team that had only winning and losing streaks throughout last season – never losing just once or winning just once. \u00a0As alluded up top it is going to come down to the rush defense for Gang Green.<\/p>\n
9 times they gave up 100 or more yards on ground \u00a0– their record in those games: \u00a03-6 SU and ATS.<\/p>\n
There is not enough firepower for them to play catchup when they are getting pounded on the ground.<\/p>\n
