I have proposed the thesis that Rex's defense is similar to what Pete Carroll's DC was doing in the late 90s for the Pats.
They went blitz happy and every year they would jump out to a spectacular start for the first 4-6 games of a season. They would unveil a bunch of blitzes that confused opponents. But once the OCs had all the blitzes on tape, and developed counters, that Pats Defense would crumble and the Team would stumble to a poor finish.
I thought the same thing would happen to Wreck's Jests.
Now I give him a tip of the cap because he is better than Carroll's DC, and it has taken longer, but the Jesters D no longer confuses and terrorizes opponents.
This weekend, no one other than Cower said essentially the same thing, on TV. Coaches have cataloged all the Jets blitzes and figured out how to counter them. Cower also said the Jets have no pass rush without blitzing; and their Safeties can be exploited.
If this is so are the Jets now ...done?
