Below are offensive snap totals for the Jets yesterday in their win over the Saints. The first number next to each player's name is the total number of snaps played on offense. The second number is the percentage of offensive snaps played.
As you can see, the bye is coming at a pretty good time for the Jets. Kellen Winslow II's suspension will be ending. Hopefully Jeff Cumberland, Santonio Holmes, and Jeremy Kerley get better. After all as the old saying goes, when Zach Sudfield is playing 80% of your snaps, and Greg Salas is playing 46%...well Zach Sudfield is playing 80% of your snaps, and Greg Salas is playing 46%. Some improved health for Geno Smith's targets is going to be pretty essential. The passing game suffered in part because of the injury. You just can't win many games in the NFL completing 9 forward passes.
