• Quarterback Mark Sanchez needs to be perfect: no interceptions, 60% minimum completion percentage with a quarterback rating of 90 or better – get the ball to tight end Dustin Keller and roll out of the pocket to avoid sacks – he was excellent last week
• Jets needs big games from ex-Steeler Santonio Holmes and punter Steve Weatherford
• Cannot turn the ball over and cannot commit penalties
• Must control the clock with long drives that result in points with no three and outs avoiding 3rd and long
• Defensive backs must limit yards after the catch by Pittsburgh’s tight end Heath Miller plus wide receivers Hines Ward and Mike Wallace
• Hopefully the officials will throw flags on the extremely dirty play by Hines Ward, one of the dirtiest players in the entire NFL – Ward blocks in the back and cheapshots on a regular basis – if you don’t believe me just watch him do it tonight
• The other very dirty player in Pittsburgh is right tackle Flozell Adams – just keep an eye on #71
• Jason Taylor needs to be present and play well – it would be a great time to see the old Taylor make a come back
• Defense cannot give up the big play downfield – Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is listed at 6’5”, 241 pounds but looks heavier than that – defensive backs bounce off him – Big Ben plays schoolyard football, scrambling to avoid the pass rush from the left side – cannot give up big plays and must strip the ball
• Defense must give different looks and try to keep him off balance – play different defensive backs on their tight ends and change coverage as the game progresses
Now, that’s quit a list but it’s doable. I hope the Jets show up today and play their best. J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!
