Joe, I have no idea what this season holds for the Jets, but a few things to keep in mind.
1) defensive rankings mean squat, and have little to do with how good a defense really is. If a D, for whatever reason, had nobody attempt a rush against them all year they would give up zero rushing yards, and would have the number one rush D.... Stats are the great lie.
Before you go crowning Sanchez the next great thing, keep in kind the guy is barely completeting 50% of his passes. That's awful, and at the pro level rarely changes. You ate either accurate by the time you get to the
pros or your not, and he's not. Other thing I noticed was a weak arm on him, barely reached the 15 yard line and he was at the 50 when he threw it. Not good, and the one pass to Edwards that they called PI severely underthrown as well. His throws have no zip, they float which is a killer in the NFL
