The New York Jets have been a pretty stout pass defense. They have a glaring hole in the slot, but they have worked around that with strong safety play and good outside cornerbacks.
However, the injuries are starting to pile up for them on both sides of the football. This is leading to their defense starting to trend down a bit. While they have found ways to get by without much help in the slot, they are now down two free safeties.
Early into the season, Doug Middleton was relied on to start with second-year free safety Marcus Maye injured.
