Rodney Harrison Thinks the New York Jets Should Attack Baltimore's Secondary

by John B on Sep 29, 2011 8:07 PM EDT

NBC analyst Rodney Harrison thinks the Jets should attack the Ravens through the air.

"If I am the Jets, I’m attacking the Ravens secondary, in particular the cornerback position," Harrison said. "They have some young corners; they take a lot of chances. They’re not very disciplined, a lot of pass interference calls. That would be a good opportunity for Mark Sanchez to attack these guys."

While Harrison was one of my least favorite players, I actually think he does a pretty good job as an analyst opposed to his former teammate Tedy Bruschi. He seems like he prepares, and his honesty talking about things like how he put money aside for fines on illegal hits is refreshing.

We will certainly discuss it more in the next few days, but I agree with Harrison. Outside of Ed Reed, nobody in that secondary is scary. Baltimore is loaded with guys good against the run in the front seven. Think about Terrence Cody, Haloti Ngata, Ray Lewis, and Terrell Suggs. The Jets have been suspect run blocking. It will be tough to get things going against that front.

Yep....

but in true Shotty fashion, im sure we will see 2 HB off counters followed by a quik outside slant short of the 1st down marker and then our Punting team taking the field…..for some reason shotty attacks other teams strengths rather than taking advantage of thier weaknesses, if what i just typed does ring true on Sunday I am going to to send Mike T an email asking for Shotty to be fired.

sad but true

im really suprised that Rex hasnt told Shotty to attack weaknesses, with Rex being a Defensive minded coach you would think he could spot obvious problem areas in the other teams D and pass it on to Shotty

rodney is a good analyst. He's absolutely right. I think Sanchez could have a big day, as long as he's protected.

Holmes, mason, burress, and keller could have great days. Lets hope schotty gameplans for this.

We seldom if ever take advantages of weak secondaries

In fact, the Raven game from last year with multiple injuries made this all the more painfully clear.

I agree with this to an extent...

True enough regarding their corners, but Ed Reed is someone who has to be accounted for on every single snap. Ray Lewis is also underrated in pass coverage (quickest player ever to 30 sacks/30 INT for a career (204 games)) and seems to read quarterback’s eyes and clog passing lanes well.
I definitely think attacking the corners is a great idea, especially if Plax or Holmes is matched up one-on-one on the outside. I don’t see Keller having a huge impact on this game, but hopefully I’m wrong.
