NY Jets Defense Playing Well Without Revis
For the second week in a row, the New York Jets had to play without Darrelle Revis, a member of their first team defense. Fortunately for the Jets the rest of the defense was on top of their game and playing well. During the Jets’ last game Jim Leaonhard notably made an interception, and also a sack off of Panthers’ quarterback Matt Moore.
Many offensive players in the game also shined on Saturday night, including Joe McKnight. The rookie running back gained 28 yards on 11 carries, and also had a punt return for 67 yards. McKnight definitely took coach Ryan’s criticism to heart, and showed the coaches that he had the toughness they were expecting to see.
The special teams unit for the Jets played well too. They forced two fumbles on punts in the first half alone, and the once again in the second half. Early in the game Lance Laury and David Clowney made recoveries for the Jets which allowed them to have pretty good field position.
The New York Jets will host their next preseason game at the New Meadowlands Stadium against the Washington Redskins on Friday, August 27, 2010.
