Hyde5: A boggling Jets stat shows why I'm picking Dolphins, 20-13

We've seen Brian Hartline beat up on Buster Skrine was he was in Cleveland. Since Hartline sucks our current WR's should be able to do the same.
Hartline sucks?That year we traded Marshall and we had Hartline as our # 1 WR and Bess # 2... Do you know how many yds and TD's he had? Do you know how many times he had to beat double coverage because he was the # 1 WR. Do you know who was his QB?
 
Forgive me if my data is wrong, but don't the Jets rank 27 or 28 against the run?
No, I think your data is correct, they're "ranked" poorly against the run. But they've played 6 teams, one of them was us. They did GREAT against us, but those other 5 teams have better guards, and we already saw how they dominated our guards last game. If we don't change it up, we can expect more of the same.

Ajayi has shown he can get the edge and run around people, but he's no Jakeem Grant, so that edge needs to be open so he can get there. But our bread and butter is running between the tackles, where supreme speed isn't as important. Ajayi has shown he is great at running just within reach, but just far enough away to not get wrapped up. He has also shown to be probably the best back in the league at breaking tackles, but those are arm tackles, not helmet and shoulder tackles. If our OL gets stonewalled ... again ... even Ajayi isn't going to be good enough to consistently move the ball on the ground. We'll have a lot of stalled drives.

We like our skill players, but as John Madden was fond of saying "the game is won in the trenches" and their trench defenders are simply far stronger than our trench OL. We're not moving those guys. If only we had a strong guy to play guard ... someone like Isaac Asiata ... oh well, guess that's just not going to happen.

Hartline is not a very good receiver. Don't even try that argument
