This often resulted in our DB's getting easily blocked and once the Jets rusher made it past the d-line, it was chunks of yardage. The Jets led the league in Week 1 in EPA/rush while in 13 personnel as a result Thoughts on this strategy? Seems... not ideal. Shouldn't we be matching 13 personnel with 3 LB's - especially with an aging defensive backfield of Hyde (32), Poyer (32), and Tre (turning 29 this season)? Here is an example of what I mentioned above. This is a recipe for disaster: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if Dodson is so bad that he can’t come on the field for just 5 or 10 snaps a game when an opponents offense is in 13 personnel then I question why he has a spot on the roster. If they're going to run, why put in a Safety sized LB, put in Ford or settle and run with 3 DTs and two DEs on the line. Get bigger not smaller up front.

Ray Stonada Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Not sure why McDermott likes to run such a small lineup out there. As a smaller guy could he be biased towards them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
