A stud #1 wide receiver is certainly capable of winning their matchup against this Jets defense on any given day.” And of course, as mentioned previously, anybody can be beaten, including the Jets cornerbacks. If your 4 th and 5 th receivers are pretty good, they can have success against the Jets. In addition, operating in four and five wide formations means one or two receivers will not be covered by a Jets cornerback. Good pass catching running backs and tight ends isolated against the Jets’ mediocre safeties should have success. Like any defense, however, there are ways to be successful attacking the Jets through the air. The Jets defensive line also does a pretty good job pressuring the quarterback without having to blitz, which frees up seven guys to drop into coverage. Anybody can get beat in the NFL, but trying to have sustained success throwing to wide receivers against the Jets’ cornerbacks is a tough way to operate. MacGregor: “In my opinion the Jets have the best trio of cornerbacks in the NFL in Sauce Gardner, D.J. Tell us about how good that area has been for New York.” The Jets’ pass defense ranks near the top of the league.
Chris: “Joe Flacco has been thriving for weeks in Cleveland, but that has also come against teams with pass defenses ranked near the bottom of the league.
