Can Jets Knock Patriots Out Of First Place? Biased Bloggers Discuss

Here’s a little Q&A I did with TurnontheJets.com’s Joe Caporoso for Barstool NY. I know Pats-Jets games are a whole thing with the Boston-New York angle, but aside from that this is possibly the most fascinating matchup of the season for both teams.  Knowing what I know about the Patriots, a defense I would construct to stop them would look very much like this Jets one. Love to see how Brady et al handle the challenge as they’ve done so many times.

Wednesdays are always when we find out who really got hurt last weekend and there was both good news and bad news today. The good – LaFell and Stork are back, and Slater was there too. The bad – Sheard, Cannon and Mason are MIA of significant starters. Sheard and Cannon are rumored to be minor but who knows if that will keep them out this week. Mason’s a surprise but it’s the time of year where it could be just the flu.

Cannon is important but I think the key guy this week is Hightower, who practiced all last week but still didn’t play. The Pats defense is just so much better with him in there, especially against the run. Freeny and Mayo just don’t have the juice to make an impact in that area right now, and Collins can’t do everything by himself. I think what we saw last week is why Hightower and Collins are so complimentary to each other.

He makes it tough. His instincts are incredible out there. He’s one of those guys that sees everything on the field. He sees the formations and routes and splits. Anything pre-snap that can help him get an idea of whether the ball coming his way or if it’s going the other way or if it’s a run or pass or deep throw or short throw. He’s a very dependable, consistent player. He’s been an incredible playmaker since he’s been in the league. He covers the top guys every week so I got a first-hand look at that last year every day in practice. It was great to have him a part [of team] here but he moved on so now he’s our competition again.
