Off The Presses

Mike Vaccaro echoes the sentiments of Ian O'Connor that Rex Ryan has to do a better job as coach this season. (NY Post)

Ben Shpigel has a story in the NY Times about Defensive Coordinator Mike Pettine's challenge to make the Jets a more dominant defense. There's an interesting stat in the article. "According to game charting by Football Outsiders, the Jets’ third-down defense was the worst in the NFL last season — after being the best in 2009. Their downfall was not preventing conversions so much as preventing explosive plays; they allowed 22 plays of at least 20 yards on third down, three more than any other team."
