Jets Secondary?

Im curious what your guys detailed impression of the Jets secondary is.

I dont get a chance to watch alot of Jets games, but a couple of friends of mine talk up the Jets secondary all the time about how great it is. I confess I couldnt pick a Jets DB out of a line up, but I do note that they are ranked in the bottom half in the NFL against the pass, and this having played Miami and Cassel NE.

Is this a case that your secondary is young and still developing, but not there yet? Or that Pennington and Cassel just performed very well against you? Or some other reason?

How do you think you will match up against the Chargers, especially on the road on the West Coast.

Im not trying to start an argument here, I am genuinely curious. My friends who love the Jets secondary are pretty smart about football. But with my limited knowledge I dont see it, so I was hoping to find out more.

Thanks.

There are three promising young players

in Kerry Rhodes, Darrelle Revis, and Dwight Lowery. Rhodes is already among the best at his position. These three comprise the cornerstone of what could be a really good secondary in the future. The secondary is kind of thin behind them.

The unit has played pretty well regardless of what the stats say. Pennington picked up a ton of yardage when his team was behind in the fourth quarter, and the Jets were trying to keep everything in front of them. Cassel’s completions were mostly screens and other safe high percentage passes.
