Adjustments the Jets Must Make for Sunday Against the Browns

While the Jets have won two of their last three games, they have played very poorly in them. It is time for Rex to stop being complacent with his team's effort. It should be inexcusable for the Jets to come out flat again, even if they pull it out in the end. We should be whipping these teams. We should not get up there and say that we hung in there and won and that's what good teams do. We should be looking to cream our opponents and we should not be satisfied if there was any chance at all that we could have lost, even when we eke out a victory. We should plan to dominate and should not be happy unless we do.

That being said, I would like to see some adjustments on Sunday. First of all, Shonn Greene has got to become the starter at RB. Opposing defenses are sending eight guys in the box to stop the run. If we are going to be successful running the ball early on, we are going to need to have Greene and his tackle-breaking ability in there. We will have to live without the ability to do dumpoffs and screen passes at times. We need Greene in there.

Also, look for Kyle Wilson to be in there instead of Drew Coleman (according to Rex). Coleman was torched Sunday by #3 receiver Nate Burleson for 7 catches for 113 yards and a TD. Wilson has looked lost at times especially on deep passes but he is much better at the short and mid-ranged stuff that we usually see out of slot receivers. Use some safety help on his side for deep passes and the Browns will not be able to complete a pass to a WR.

We better see some gameplan adjustments as well. This Browns defense is a very dangerous bunch. They employ a lot of different looks with odd packages. These coverages baffled Tom Brady and Drew Brees. It is very dangerous for a rookie to be throwing against this team. The Jets have to open things up, but they have to do it while aiming for the sideline a little more and trying to keep out of the middle of the field whenever possible, except when coming off play action. This will save Mark Sanchez from making mistakes and being picked off by the Browns' deceptive LBs. Pick on the Browns' weak secondary instead. It is much safer.
