2017 New York Jets can learn lessons from 1991 team

The 2017 New York Jets’ season has been a wonderful surprise and a frustrating exercise.

After a rough 0-2 start, Gang Green has shown consistency is many areas. They have shown resilience in a few matchups, like their win over the first-place Jacksonville Jaguars. They have also shown inexperience and an inability to hold onto leads. All of those things are learning curves.

In 1991, Bruce Coslet was in his second season as head coach. The New York Jets were coming off a 6-10 season and had a young, aggressive defense led by Pete Carroll.
