Could Jets' tough early schedule hurt Sam Darnold, if he starts? | Mailbag

Ira in Staten Island, via email: Yes, Darrelle Revis is a first-ballot Hall of Famer. Last year, the Jets' secondary gave up 83 yards per game to No. 1 wide receivers. With cornerback Trumaine Johnson on the team now, that will improve. But safety Jamal Adams and inside backer Darron Lee must improve with covering tight ends. Thoughts?

We'll get to Revis and the Hall of Fame down below. But let's consider this current Jets pass defense, shall we? Totally agreed on Johnson. He should really help limit No. 1 receivers' production. But as you alluded to, it's about more than just that in today's NFL, with so many strong pass-catching tight ends.
