Or will the Jet Defense be wating for him? What do you guys think? I beleive he can help our D a lot in detecting some situations and formations....
Stang, if they let up it will only happen once. Sparano will be all over them. Hopefully the one time wouldn't be the game decider.The only thing that worries me is our DB's need to finish plays. If they let up when Favre looks like he is toast, Brett is very good at winging it at the last second into tight places. As far as chad goes, he should be able to use his masterful play action skills with the R&R express behind him. I think we will have atleast a 9 minute time of possesion lead on them, which will swing a tight 4th quarter into our favor!
"Will Pennington Pick Them Apart?"
...No
CP not only knows the tendencies of your defense. He knows the playbook better than Favre.
He knows the defensive signals and alignments.
He won't take chances like Favre will so he is less likely to turn the ball over.
In a close game, that could be the difference.
The only flaw with your theory is the Jets defense knows his tendencies as well. The Jets coaching staff knows Chads abilities and inabilities. I have heard from to many sources now that the Jets defensive playbook will be shortened, knowing first hand there are several routes Pennington can't hit. To me that's a benefit to the Jets and not Chad.
I'll believe our offensive line will protect the QB after seeing it a couple games as well, to many people have assumed this is not an issue.
IMO if Chad doesn't do well today expect him not to finish the season as our starting QB. My thinking is if his short comings are enough to take his edge away today then he really has more downside than upside.
