Rex Ryan at NY, Rex Ryan in Baltimore

[The Bopkin]

So, the Rex Ryan led Baltimore defense last year pretty much crushed us and our wildcat twice.
Last night, the wildcat really was effective throughout the game, and Ryan showed no ability to shut it down like he did last year.
Clearly he didn't forget what he did last year with the Ravens. So what happened?
1)Did Henne's arm strength cause him to alter his scheme? Henne, though a stronger armed QB than Pennington, brings the inexperience.
2)Is it more the fact that the Ravens boast studs Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, and that with those guys they'll shut you down, where as the Jets just don't have that caliber of personnel?
3)Or is it something else?
I think Ray Lewis has made some DC's look awfully smart over the years, and have to think he and Reed(who killed us in the playoff game)were the difference.

Personally I think its our beefed up O-line. We played the ravens last year without grove and thomas, I also think smiley was out both of the games, but for sure during the playoff game. It also is ray lewis and terrell suggs can make a defensive coordinator look really good.

3) Something else.....we have a much better O-line holding up to the pressure.

let us not forget we have also had a year and two offseasons to work on the wildcat. two games of film to look at of how the ravens stopped us last year. the chess match continues.

Its all on ed reed I dont care what any1 says last year are wildcat consisted with pennington staying on the field. Which then meant they could stack the box and keep Reed back there beacuse that guy can cover the whole field by himself.

Also there whole defense is better, smarter, hungrier and have passion.

Watch Reed, Suggs, and Lewis these guys do not want to lose and if that means death and will try and win.

Ravens defense is just another beast and Ryan is retarted to think that the Jets D has the same fire like the Ravens.
