Jets-Bengals Post Game Analysis
Top 3 players for the Jets yesterday: Nick Folk, David Nelson and Ellis Lankster. That's a problem. #NYJ— Chris Lopresti (@CLoprestiWFAN) October 28, 2013
Only watching highlights, but did Solomon Wilcots say "Jeremy Klerey" all day?
— Erik Frenz (@ErikFrenz) October 28, 2013
Not calling for Rex's head. But if you're blaming the maddening inconsistency on the Jets' youth, you haven't watched them from 2009-now.— Mike O'C (@OConnor_Jets) October 28, 2013
Remember when the Jets were a drastically "win-now" team? They still dropped games like this. They were experienced. That's all coaching.
— Mike O'C (@OConnor_Jets) October 28, 2013
Milliner unaware of the back shoulder throw in the 1st TD. Really tough to defend that pass but he looked lost. pic.twitter.com/gEaTC6219H
— Gonzalo Estradé (@PFF_Gonzalo) October 29, 2013
Same play, now Walls covering Marvin Jones. Catch and TD again but Walls defend it completely different. pic.twitter.com/RTkIdzqFK5
— Gonzalo Estradé (@PFF_Gonzalo) October 29, 2013
Here is the GIF of the Marvin Jones TD vs. Walls. Again, really tough to defend this back shoulder throw. http://t.co/5lJepjPRjV— Gonzalo Estradé (@PFF_Gonzalo) October 29, 2013
Interesting blitz from #Jets here. BGJE leaves to protect the free rusher Pace, leaving Landry free. Double A-gap hit pic.twitter.com/tv262Dl6dm
— Mike O'C (@OConnor_Jets) October 29, 2013
Jets blitz should be successful here, but Coples fails assignment of penetrating inwards, leaving Landry w/o a lane. pic.twitter.com/aIZOAeoDvJ
— Mike O'C (@OConnor_Jets) October 29, 2013
Most frustrating flaw with Milliner coming out was tackling, and it's continued. This isn't an adequate attempt... pic.twitter.com/qtpGlBeCjw
