2012 Jets Season Preview


There's more to the New York Jets in 2012 than Tim Tebow and Mark Sanchez.  There actually is 51 other players on this team.

The talk of Jets' training camp thus far has been the lack of offense that they had in the preseason.  The starting offense with Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow under center were scoreless throughout the preseason.  Gang Green did not see a fully healthy squad though.  The wildcat formation was also not broken out.  This offense will be good enough to win them some games.

The Jets will be running the ball a lot this season.  Shonn Greene will be getting most of the carries with Joe McKnight backing him up.  Tebow will be a big playmaker with the wildcat under new offensive coordinator Tony Sparano.  Sparano will provide the Jets a more aggressive playbook that they did not have under Brian Schottenheimer.  Sanchez does not have many targets, but he still has Santonio Holmes and Dustin Keller.  Expect Holmes and Keller to have career years this season.  Both will be Sanchez's favorite target.  Gang Green hopes for Jeremy Kerley, Stephen Hill, and Chaz Schilens to be solid contributors after Holmes.

The Jets are heavily relying on their defense to lead them in the 2012 season.  Bart Scott said that his could be the best Jets' defense ever.  Their secondary is improved with new safeties LaRon Landry and Yeremiah Bell.  Their pass rush is improved with rookie Quinton Coples at defensive end.  Their linebackers, Bryan Thomas, Bart Scott, David Harris, and Calvin Pace are back and ready to lead this 3-4 defense.  Most importantly, they have the best cornerback in the NFL in Darrelle Revis.  This defense is one of the best in recent memory.  Expect them to carry the Jets throughout the season.

Prediction
10-6
6th seed in AFC
Beat Ravens in Wild Card Round
Divisional Round loss to Patriots
