I believe the New York Jets defense should be pretty good this year with the players they have. It should only make the defense better now that Rex Ryan is the head coach and should influence what the defense runs. The Baltimore Ravens were one of the best defenses in the past decade.
It will be interesting to see if Ryan was a great defensive coordinator, or if you just had great players. Most the players that played for him and Baltimore had not even been on another team. He’s definitely not to have a player and leader like Ray Lewis. And he won’t have someone that is a game changer like Ed Reed.
The good thing is, he has good players on his defense already. It does help that he was able to bring in someone like Bart Scott who played for him in Baltimore the past few years. I’m not sure what kind of players you’ll be without Terrel Suggs and Ray Lewis, but he should be able to beat the defense.
Rex Ryan will also have Shaun Ellis and Kerry Rhodes have been proven to be reliable. They have been putting good stats up over the years and they should flourish in Ryan’s system.
I was surprised to see that the Ravens didn’t try harder to keep Jim Leonhard. He was almost cut before last season but good thing they did not cut him because he played phenomenal. He is only 5′8″ tall, but he can tackle well and hit hard. Ryan liked him enough to bring him in to New York. He is definitely hoping he can be the player he was last year.
The defense definitely looks good for the New York Jets and Rex Ryan next year. I think the players can grab on to his system they will flourish. They will definitely need to find a leader on the defensive of end though. Without a leader, a defense might never live up to what it should be.
