The New York Jets are pretty good from laiyongcai92's blog

on defense DaQuan Jones Jersey , but they have been gashed by receivers the last couple of weeks. The Patriots receivers got them for 13 catches and 211 yards last week. That might not seem like that big of a deal because, hey, the Patriots receivers are good, right? True, but the week before that the Bills receivers got them for 12 catches and 230 yards. You read that correctly, the Buffalo Bills receiver corps of Robert Foster, Zay Jones and Andre Holmes.So the question for the Titans on Sunday is whether or not their receivers can take advantage of the problems the Jets have at corner. Corey Davis is developing into the #1 receiver the Titans drafted him to be. I don’t have a lot of questions remaining about him. The guys behind him, however, I have no idea what they will do from week to week. Those guys need to step up in this one.It sounds like Taywan Taylor will be back for this one. He has been out since getting hurt in the Monday night game against the Cowboys. Can he make an impact on this game?Tajae Sharpe has been on a milk carton since he had a really good game against the Chargers in London. Can they get something from him in this game?Much like the rest of the team, the receivers have more questions than answers surrounding them.The weapons on this team have been an issue all season long. The Titans aren’t out of the playoff mix yet, but they pretty much have to win out to have a chance at making the playoffs. To do that, they are going to have to have a Taywan Taylor or a Tajae Sharpe (or both) step up. That needs to start on Sunday.Titans Week 4 Enemy Profile: Fletcher Cox When it comes to defensive tackles in this league, Aaron Donald is typically known as the absolute best. Donald has spoiled the rest of us because it seems like other defensive tackles aren’t discussed nearly as much even if they’re playing in the same ballpark.Eagles defensive tackle Fletcher Cox is one of those players. With Philadelphia since 2012, Cox is a three-time Pro Bowler, a three-time Second-team All-Pro, and a Super Bowl champion. His Eagles come to Nashville this Sunday to decide which team goes to 3-1 and which team falls to 2-2.Cox himself is having a sensational season. He has 2.5 sacks on the year and leads all defensive players with 9 quarterback hits. He’s a perfect test for an offensive line that has given up the fewest quarterback hits on the season, so something has to give.For a further look at why Fletcher Cox is a defensive player the Titans need to fear, let’s investigate his tape.gamepass.nfl.comPlaying up on the defensive line is not just about rushing the passer or the runner. Occasionally a defensive lineman’s job is to disrupt the play, call out play fakes, option plays, etc. Here, Cox uses hesitance on his pass rush because he knows Devonta Freeman is being used as the bubble screen. As soon as Cox notices Freeman moving out, that’s when he steps in front of him, forcing Freeman to take a different angle before eventually being tackled for a loss. Cox doesn’t get credited for a tackle here Wesley Woodyard Jersey , but his sniff out of the screen ultimately makes this play happen.gamepass.nfl.comSacks by themselves don’t constitute just how well a pass rusher is playing, which is why pressures and quarterback hits do a much better job of providing context. Cox only has 2.5 sacks on the year, but there’s a huge amount of pressure that he’s creating on a game-by-game basis.Cox doesn’t get credited for the sack here (although he’s pretty close), but his leverage allows him to put pressure on Matt Ryan long enough for Chris Long to strip sack the quarterback. Cox was the standout player for the Eagles in Week 1 because of the impact he made on the Eagles’ defensive line: They don’t win this one without him balling out.gamepass.nfl.comWhat especially makes Cox such a dangerous pass rusher that isn’t limited to stopping the run game is his athleticism and technique. His most deadly move is the two-step counter, where he—of course—takes two steps before countering a lineman’s futile attempts at blocking him, giving him a clear path to the quarterback.Here, Cox takes two steps and smacks the guard’s hands out of existence. The guard is now out of position to stop #91, allowing him to push off his left foot, accelerate, and easily take down Ryan Fitzpatrick for the sack.gamepass.nfl.comFinally, it goes without saying that Cox is a freight train; Defensive tackles need all the power they can get to muster through whatever gap they’re racing toward, and Cox has all that and then some.This time Cox is double blocked (that almost sounds dirty), but even that’s not enough. Cox’s bull rush combines quickness, speed and aggressive, high attacking inside hands as he gets by the left guard and completely overwhelms the center, giving him access to Andrew Luck for the sack.To conclude, Fletcher Cox is the real deal. He’s having a Defensive Player of the Year-worthy start thanks to his quick, violent hands, raw power and two-step counter. Along with the defending Super Bowl champions, he’s the perfect test for a Titans offense that has struggled to stay healthy all season. The Eagles have other talented pass rushers to worry about, but stopping #91 would be massive.Marcus Mariota, Matt LaFleur and the offensive line better be ready.
