Are the Jets Overhyped?

[Anointed One]

the two defense I saw do it all year long with an offense.
the Saints defense back in the late 80's or early 90's (memory fade)
& the Ravens defense with Trent Dilfer.

That Saints defense was filthy... Especially their entire LB corp...

they might have been the greatest set of LBs ever.
& I grew up with the steel curtain, Monsters of the midway & all the great defenses from back in the day.

I remember loving the Saints because that was when the USFL was popular and Bobby Hebert went to play in NO when the USFL folded... They also drafted one of my favorite WSU Cougars in, Reuben Mayes... It was unfortunate to see injuries shorten his career...

Vaughn Johnson, Ricky Jackson, Sam Mills and Pat Swilling... Just a nasty duo...

& that defense did it year after year with zero offense to relieve them.

And how does Joe Flacco put up 30 pts (Defensive TD was the other score) on this vaunted NY Jet defense? Defense is currently 16th in the NFL...

Vaunted = middle of the pack?

Was the defense not highly or widely praised and boasted about before the season started?

I was probably too harsh on the Jets. The defense is good but it's not some all-time force of nature. Rodgers injury was desperately unfortunate but it's hard to imagine any pocket passer doing well for the whole season behind that O-Line. Even with a healthy Rodgers and a quality back-up they'd be 3rd best in that division.

Bobby Hebert was a good player. He was the only player on the Saints 'scab' team that was offered a contract after the strike folded.
