New York Jets Week 8 Position Report Card
By Nolan Rich
If there was any pressure on Matt Ryan on Sunday it came from the Jets linebackers on blitzes. The Jets are beginning to use Lee in blitz formations where he can use his speed to rush both off the edge and up the middle.
Demario Davis once again led the defense with eight tackles. The linebackers were good in coverage despite the lack of pass rush and limited Falcons tight ends to 47 yards.
However, with the defensive line struggling it will be up the linebackers, especially the edge rushers to provide the much-needed pass rush.
