Lots of numbers this week.
Jets-Bills Post Game Numbers
That's Holmes and Hill with 100+ yard receiving games. Last time a Jets receiver had 100+ yards was last year, Week 7, Jeremy Kerley. #NFL
— Jane McManus (@janesports) September 22, 2013
From the Stats & Info gurus, the last time the Jets had two 100+ yard receivers was Week 12 2006, Jerricho Cotchery and Laveranues Coles.— Jane McManus (@janesports) September 22, 2013
Geno Smith 16-29 331 yards 2 TD 2 INT. Geno becomes first Jets rookie QB to throw for 300 yards. Looks comfortable.
— Erik Frenz (@ErikFrenz) September 23, 2013
Take away the fluky 59 yard run from Fred Jackson and the #NYJ defense held Jackson/Spiller to 22 yards on 16 carries. That is stout.— Chris Lopresti (@CLoprestiWFAN) September 23, 2013
A rare feat: #Jets (20 penalties) first team to win with that many since 1951 Browns (22 vs. Bears), per Elias.
— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) September 23, 2013
Smith-to-Holmes for 69 yds longest 4thQ/OT TD pass by #Jets since 1996, when O'Donnell hit Graham for 78, per @ESPNStatsInfo.— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) September 23, 2013
#Jets ranked top near top 10 in the league in % of rushes gaining 4+ yds and rushing plays of 10+ yds. Combine that with strong D, and you

have a situation where Geno could be brought along gradually while still winning games. Believe it or not. #Jets— Louis Riddick (@LRiddickESPN) September 23, 2013
Jets had 4 passing plays of 40 yards or more Sunday. They had 5 all of last season. #nyj
— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) September 23, 2013
Also, 4 plays of 40+ yards for the first time since 1991. All of them came in the passing game. #MartyBall #NYJ— Chris Lopresti (@CLoprestiWFAN) September 23, 2013
Most sacks we have had in a game since we sacked Phil Simms 8 times at home against the Giants (12/18/88).
— Eric Allen (@eallenjets) September 23, 2013
Smith/Holmes, 69 y, 3rd longest go-ahead TD in 4th Q in #Jets history, per @ESPNStatsInfo. Namath/Bell 83 in '72, Robinson/Walker 75 in '78.— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) September 23, 2013
Penalty flag on me: Geno Smith actually the first #Jets rookie to have 300 yds/2 TDs. Joe Namath next 3 highest-yardage totals, 280 to 287.
— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) September 23, 2013

— Manish Mehta (@MMehtaNYDN) September 23, 2013
Most amazing part of 2-1 start to me is Jets are -6 in turnover margin. Only the Steelers and Giants are worse and both of them are 0-3.— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) September 23, 2013
Mario Williams had two sacks in 5 previous gms vs. #Jets. Had zero yesterday and two tackles #bills
— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) September 23, 2013
And those two Super Mario sacks came in one game (11/21/10)— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) September 23, 2013

The 20 penalties the Jets committed yesterday are more than 18 teams have committed all season. And Jets lead the NFL with 34 penalties.

The multiple offenders: Wilson 5 penalties, Ducasse 4, Coples 2, Wilkerson 2, Holmes 2 #nyj— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) September 23, 2013
The 331 net passing yards were the 2nd highest in Rex Ryan era. Highest was 339 against OAK in on 9/25/11 #nyj
— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) September 23, 2013
#Jets win snapped 5-game losing streak vs. divisional opponents. Have won 7 of last 8 vs. Bills.— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) September 23, 2013
ICYMI: Prior to Jets-Bills, last team to win a game with 20 penalties was 1951 Browns (21). Jets fell 2 shy of all-time record. #Jets
— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) September 23, 2013
I missed one 40+ pass from last year when I counted after the game. Jets had 6 last year. 4 yesterday.— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) September 23, 2013
After a historic SUN, Jets tied for 1st in the NFL with 4 40+ plays in the passing game. They also are T9 with 12 pass plays of 20+.
— Eric Allen (@eallenjets) September 25, 2013
#Jets: 7 different players recorded sacks vs. Buff, first time since '82 (when sacks became official stat) they had 7 players in sack column— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) September 25, 2013
According to "The Amazing" @rlangejets, last time #Jets had 4 40-yd passes in 1 game: 1972, when they had 5 w/Namath vs. Unitas' Colts

In that game, Namath had passes of 79 & 80 yds to TE Rich Caster, 65 & 42 to WR Eddie Bell and 67 to RB John Riggins.— Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) September 26, 2013
Jets-Bills Pro Football Focus Numbers
#MartyBall #Jets RT "@PFF: Which QBs went deep the most this week? Cam Newton (29.6% of attempts), Big Ben (26.8%) & Geno Smith (24.1%)"

— Pro Football Focus (@PFF) September 23, 2013
Perfect QB rating for Geno when throwing to the right 20+ yards: 4-of-4, 205 yards, 2 TDs. Graded +3.3 in that zone of the field. #Jets— Gonzalo Estradé (@PFF_Gonzalo) September 23, 2013
Powell and Ivory forced 7 missed tackles (Ivory 2 in 4 carries) vs. Buffalo. They had forced 3 MTs in the two previous games. #Jets
— Gonzalo Estradé (@PFF_Gonzalo) September 24, 2013
Tight end roles - Cumberland: 14 passing snaps (12 routes), 34 run blocking. Winslow: 25 passing snaps (22 routes), 28 run blocking. #Jets— Gonzalo Estradé (@PFF_Gonzalo) September 24, 2013
It's been that way since the start of the season, Winslow gets the majority of reps in passing downs - 70 snaps split wide. #Jets
— Gonzalo Estradé (@PFF_Gonzalo) September 24, 2013
Holmes and Hill dominated Justin Rogers all game long. The #Bills CB graded -5.3 in pass cov after allowing 5-of-7 for 229 yards and 2 TDs.— Gonzalo Estradé (@PFF_Gonzalo) September 24, 2013
Wilkerson was #BeastMo again with his best pass rushing performance ever: +3.8 grade, 2 sacks, 1 hit and 4 hurries for 11.5 PRP. #Jets
— Gonzalo Estradé (@PFF_Gonzalo) September 24, 2013
Geno Smith Time In Pocket: 3.32 secs average. 71.2% of dropbacks over 2.6 secs - 55.2% completion when over 2.6, 52.9% when under 2.6. #Jets— Gonzalo Estradé (@PFF_Gonzalo) September 26, 2013
That percentage of over 2.6 seconds dropbacks is a league-high. 2nd QB is Russell Wilson with 69%, 3rd Brandon Weeden 66.7%. #Jets
— Gonzalo Estradé (@PFF_Gonzalo) September 26, 2013
Nice to hear Darrin Walls could be starting this Sunday. Highest rated CB in preseason, never understood why the #Jets put Milliner ahead.— Gonzalo Estradé (@PFF_Gonzalo) September 26, 2013
@ScottSalmon48 I charted only the 1st quarter last night: 8 passes from shotgun, 2 from under-center both PA and screens.

Those numbers reflect what you see on the field - from shotgun, 5, 7-step dropbacks, shots downfield... Playing to Geno strengths basically.— Gonzalo Estradé (@PFF_Gonzalo) September 26, 2013
Jets-Bills Post Game Analysis
Rex points out Tone had the most receiving yards in a game in his entire career #Jets
— Chris Nimbley (@Cnimbley) September 23, 2013
Mornhinweg very good at designing/scheming the down field passing game.— Louis Riddick (@LRiddickESPN) September 23, 2013
Rodney Harrison on @GenoSmith7 :"He made some really good throws... Seems like he is getting more comfortable + he’s becoming a better QB."
— Eric Allen (@eallenjets) September 23, 2013
Down-field shake routes and deep-dagger routes that Geno threw to Hill and Holmes early are a staple of Mornhinweg's pass offense. #Jets— Louis Riddick (@LRiddickESPN) September 23, 2013
Geno seeing full field/able to go front side to back side in terms of progressions; excellent toughs/poise/accuracy under duress 1st TD pass
— Louis Riddick (@LRiddickESPN) September 23, 2013
#Bills decimated at corner and it is showing. Justin Rogers = tough 2week stretch.— Louis Riddick (@LRiddickESPN) September 23, 2013
Spiller said the Jets dared the passing game to beat them by loading the box. Said they were trying to bait him to bounce runs outside.
— Joe Buscaglia (@JoeBuscaglia) September 23, 2013
Jets defensive line dominates the Bills up front, Fred Jackson breaks away from Calvin Pace, goes for 60. Jets DLine did their job— Steve Palazzolo (@StevePalazzolo) September 23, 2013
Back at 9:30 for film breakdown, right here. Interesting tidbit - All 4 of the #Jets 40+ yard completions were out of same formation

Rewatching #Jets-#Bills: Stephen Hill fries Justin Rogers on this 1st Q grab. Hill gets total separation w/one move. pic.twitter.com/jNlAWjMmYz

Next play, Geno Smith opts for a dumpoff to Bilal Powell w/Winslow 1-on-1 vs. LB Kiko Alonso. Lost opportunity. pic.twitter.com/l7vfxZ7x83
— Marc Sessler (@MarcSesslerNFL) September 26, 2013
Later in the drive, Geno makes a great throw. Patiently waits for Kerley to find an opening and delivers. #Jets pic.twitter.com/3UzSmvQu03
— Marc Sessler (@MarcSesslerNFL) September 26, 2013
Weirdest aspect of an improved #Jets offense? Interrupting drives w/ancient Wildcat offerings, as if Nixon is dialing in plays from beyond.
— Marc Sessler (@MarcSesslerNFL) September 26, 2013
Something I've seen w/Geno Smith over the first three weeks on tape: He'll make his share of ugly plays, but he bounces back. #Jets
— Marc Sessler (@MarcSesslerNFL) September 26, 2013
Through 1st quarter of Jets-Bills tape and biggest takeaway so far is that Jeff Cumberland cannot run block— Mike Nolan (@nolan_nfl) September 28, 2013
Just started with the coaches film of the NYJ-BUF and I don't know what to say about Cumberland in the first play: pic.twitter.com/bZuTAZuWSO
— Gonzalo Estradé (@PFF_Gonzalo) September 25, 2013
In the 1st drive, two 3-step drops for Geno, quick slant to Kerley - 1st thrown too low, incomplete. 2nd on target, completed for 1st down.— Gonzalo Estradé (@PFF_Gonzalo) September 25, 2013
I am especially interested in short dropbacks, quick passes because that's not Geno's strength and Marty is doing great in that area.
— Gonzalo Estradé (@PFF_Gonzalo) September 25, 2013
Making the rookie feel comfortable in the system, play from shotgun and read what's happening before throwing the ball.— Gonzalo Estradé (@PFF_Gonzalo) September 25, 2013
Jets Quoteables
How's having over 300 yards feel Geno? "It's good, but I'm more focused on the turnovers." #Jets
— Chris Nimbley (@Cnimbley) September 23, 2013
When I told Stephen Hill the last time the Jets had 2 100+ receivers was 2006, he laughed and said he was in 10th grade. #nfl #jets— Jane McManus (@janesports) September 23, 2013
Calvin Pace takes the blame for Fred Jackson's 59 yard run, said the Bills back was so slippery he asked if he had on Vaseline. #Jets #Nfl
— Jane McManus (@janesports) September 23, 2013
Pace doesnt see "any ill-effects" of Santonio's Lisfranc. "That’s a career-ending injury for a lot of ppl, so u have to tip your hat to him"— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) September 23, 2013

Rex liked the way "Dee responded." Also thought Kyle Wilson was having a good "but he let a personal thing affect him...that's a mistake"— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) September 23, 2013
Now onto David Harris, Rex says that was as good a game as he's played in a long, long time.
— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) September 23, 2013
Rex says "there was no way" Coples would play 60 snaps. But playing so well in 1st gm back. "The guy wants it. I'm telling you: He's hungry"— Manish Mehta (@MMehtaNYDN) September 23, 2013
Players commiting penalties in practice this week will watch as teammates, coaches, staff do push-ups. Encourages accountability. #NYJ
— Chris Lopresti (@CLoprestiWFAN) September 23, 2013
Rex says Winslow drawing attention from LB's and Safety's is allowing 1-on-1 matchups for the WR's. That's been the case last 2 games. #NYJ— Chris Lopresti (@CLoprestiWFAN) September 23, 2013
Rex Ryan said Chris Ivory has injured the same hamstring that bugged him in camp, but it's in a different spot in the hamstring.

— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) September 25, 2013
Wilkerson said Rex emphasized to the defense they need to create more turnovers. Titans have 0 turnovers this year. #nyj— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) September 25, 2013
Sheldon Richardson, who DNP today, told me he's been dealing w/ a shoulder contusion. "A really bad one," he said. #jets
— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) September 25, 2013
Ryan said Jets may ask Bohanon to play tailback & Reuland FB, or might look to pick up a RB. Powell and Green a go, Ivory didn't practice.— Jane McManus (@janesports) September 26, 2013
Q: Is Santonio back? Rex: "If he says 'no,' I'll say 'no.'"...but he adds: Tonetime is "a legitimate No. 1 WR." #jets

Marty Mornhinweg on Jets RB Powell: "He turned it lose just a little bit. Heck of a ball game and I certainly was not surprised."— Jane McManus (@janesports) September 26, 2013
Asked about taking shots downfield, Marty said: "We've got some players that can go." #jets
— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) September 26, 2013
Mornhinweg on Geno Smith: "I'm impressed a little bit more each day." #Jets— Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) September 26, 2013
Marty Morhinweg said he has always believed that number of plays is more important for an offense than time of possession.
— Darryl Slater (@DarrylSlater) September 26, 2013
Mornhinweg: "(Rex) wanted to be very aggressive and attack, and that's one of the reasons I ended up here." #Jets #nyjets— Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) September 26, 2013
Mornhinweg grades hard. If a receiver gets a hand on the ball but doesn't catch it, is that a drop? "If they get a finger on it." #Jets
— Jane McManus (@janesports) September 26, 2013
Marty Morhinweg said the attention paid to Kellen Winslow opens up opportunities for other receivers.— Darryl Slater (@DarrylSlater) September 26, 2013
Jets OC Marty Mornhinweg on TE Kellen Winslow Jr. "Kellen sure has helped us an awful lot with his presence on the field."
— Jane McManus (@janesports) September 26, 2013
Mornhinweg says he's only exaggerating a little when he says Santonio Holmes is at the Jets facility 16 to 18 hours a day. #Jets #NFL— Jane McManus (@janesports) September 26, 2013
"This defense is not built on one player," Jets DC Thurman on how the team would adjust if CB Dee Milliner can't play. #NFL #Jets
— Jane McManus (@janesports) September 26, 2013
Jets' DC Thurman has a theory that the football gods let you get payback -- maybe not today, but be patient & you'll get a chance. #NFL— Jane McManus (@janesports) September 26, 2013
Thurman used Kyle's meltdown as a teaching moment. DT told Wilson the "fball Gods" take care of things eventually, no need for in-gm bravado
— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) September 26, 2013
CB Kyle Wilson felt he was being wronged and officials didn't respond vs. Bills. Part of the frustration with all the fouls. #Jets #NFL— Jane McManus (@janesports) September 26, 2013
DT said entire D-line is pushing one another + being competitive for team-high in sacks, tackles, etc, -- in a good way, he adds #jets
— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) September 26, 2013
When Jets go with four DBs, it depends on the package for whether Walls or Wilson is out there at corner opposite Cromartie, Ryan said.— Darryl Slater (@DarrylSlater) September 27, 2013

Rams' offensive game plan looks unchanged from Dallas. Nothing dynamic. Defenses know exactly what to expect.

Anybody still defending Brian Schottenheimer being "shackled" by the constraints of limited weapons? He has em’, now use em.’— RumfordJohnny (@RumfordJohnny) September 27, 2013
Tavon Austin not getting the majority of snaps on offense is beyond idiotic. #Rams Personnel staff has to be scratching their heads

Not a good sign that every quarterback under Brian Schottenheimer is Mark Sanchez, or becomes him.— Marc Sessler (@MarcSesslerNFL) September 27, 2013
3rd and 1 and the Rams throw deep. Interception. Schottenheimer strikes again. He's your problem now, St Louis.

The Rams deserve that. I'm glad it happened. Shotgun deep pass on 3rd & 1. Someone needs to be fired (eherm, Schottenheimer)— Chris Kouffman (@ckparrot) September 27, 2013
Now would be a good time for Brian Schottenheimer to dip into his back of trhahahahaha

What was the plan with Tavon Austin? Seriously.— SI_DougFarrar (@SI_DougFarrar) September 27, 2013
Thing a/b those stories is it's not about some wrinkle no one has seen, it's coherently fitting players/ideas together. Rams failing at that

Dear Jets fans: Remember all those times I defended Brian Schottenheimer? You were right. I was wrong. Lord, how I was wrong.

Amazing to think corners Ike Taylor and Peanut Tillman were teammates at UL-Lafayette #RaginCajuns. Why #NFL teams eval every school in FBS.

it's funny how a sideline argument will lead to talk of disconnect. So stupid.— Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) September 23, 2013
It's heat of the game. Anybody who has ever played any sport knows that. Sports can turn you into somebody else. For a brief time.

Most underrated (& in my opinion most important) part of evaluating a college QB for the pro game is, does he elevate the talent around him?— Benjamin Allbright (@AllbrightNFL) September 23, 2013
2/2 ...or is he elevated by all the talent and the system around him?
— Benjamin Allbright (@AllbrightNFL) September 23, 2013
You can't quantify whether or not a QB elevates the talent around him, that's what sets scouting apart as an art, and not a science.— Benjamin Allbright (@AllbrightNFL) September 23, 2013
Tampa Bay's starting QB has a salary cap number of $564,375, which is about what Darrelle Revis makes in every half.

Been doing this QB evaluation thing for 15 years now, and I can tell you the best NFL QBs usually come from mediocre, less talented teams.— Benjamin Allbright (@AllbrightNFL) September 25, 2013
Would think higher %. RT @frontlinepbs: 56% of #NFL players said they would hide their #concussion symptoms to stay in game.

Last year Alex Smith did absolutely the right thing, sat out w/concussion symptoms, never got job back. Players talk about that.— Andrew Brandt (@adbrandt) September 25, 2013
The mantra of the business of sports: so many players, so few jobs.

Interesting stat: despite the NFC being considered the stronger conference, the AFC has won 11 of 14 head to head matchups thus far in 2013.— Louis Riddick (@LRiddickESPN) September 26, 2013
Key to the passing game in the NFL - have multiple WR's who can beat M/M coverage. An issue in SF with Davis out

From our research dept: Read option runs down league-wide from 6.1 YPC in 2012 to 5.0 this year. Still effective.— gregg rosenthal (@greggrosenthal) September 26, 2013
