I love that you point out the good things the Jets are doing in the community. You're right that they aren't reported/focused on enough. Those things are important and make me proud of my team!

I think the offense needs to draw out long drives to keep our defence fresh. You don’t want to be chasing Hill all over the place at the best of times, let alone when you’re gassed. At least 5 or 6 minutes and/or points on every drive.

I’d assume they’ll try lots of bubble screens and other nonsense plays like that to get the ball to Hill as quickly as possible. Is this something they do a lot of?

I’d like to see more running the ball from under centre, the shotgun handoffs seemed to get busted so many times last week. Granted Pittsburgh’s defence has been better than Miami’s so far.

think our LG Laken Tomlinson is my biggest disappointment thus far. Can you take a deeper look at what's going on so far?

It's understandable that lack of chemistry would hurt, but he's coming off a pro bowl season and the Jets have nearly the same system as SF. He's not old. What's going on here?

Yeah I was planning to take a look at him next week, he had a much better game against Pittsburgh so hopefully that's him turning it around. I think having several different LTs doesn't help, but on initial viewing he's really struggling with his base, he's getting knocked back easier than I've ever seen and isn't creating any push in the run game. It's all about the feet and actually sinking in as far as I can see but I need to really focus in on him.

Who will Howard likely be covering? Does he stick to one player or side of the field?

Howard spends more time on the right than left but he does switch it up and he often takes the #1 receiver but not always. I can see Corey going against him a lot on Sunday but when it's not Corey it'll be Garrett.

The PFF podcast mentioned ZW has been horrible against the blitz, and Miami blitzes a lot. Hoping he can improve now that he has skill position talent that can get open

It's interesting they mentioned that as Miami have historically blitzed a ton, but through the first four games they're around 24% which I believe is outside the top 15 in the league. They blitz a lot more than we do, but not nearly as much as they tend to. Conklin and Moore/Wilson will be key in those situations.
