The defense, even having allowed 71 points on their own field over the last two games, has gotten the short end of the stick from the offense.The Jets defense is playing at a top ten level on 3rd down, in the red zone Youth Mark Gastineau Jerseys , and in the takeaway department. They’re doing that with the 3rd worst average starting field position in the league thanks to the offense.On the other side, the offense is performing at a bottom ten level in converting 3rd downs, scoring touchdowns in the red zone, and taking care of the ball. They’ve done all of that in spite of prime field position thanks to the defense and special teams - yet have still struggled and failed to give the defense rest and good field position in return. The Jets are 30th in plays and time of possession per drive.Injuries and offensive help considered, the Jets defense has done a respectable job thus far this year on the whole. There are a lot of long-term holes that still need filling, and the unit has been far from elite, but their situational ability has been impressive so far.Altogether Mark Gastineau Jerseys Stitched , these numbers aren’t terribly surprising. The Jets are struggling to build consistency under a rookie quarterback, with a mediocre offensive line and banged up skill position group that is devoid of a star. Defensively, the Jets are a solid, but unspectacular unit that is prone to pay for its lack of pass rush and depth but has done a great job in key situations and with making big plays.
