Jets' plan is to keep 'old guy' upright -- and it's working

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- So the New York Jets have allowed only two sacks in four games. That's pretty good, considering their total was 47 last season.

"Pretty cool," right tackle Breno Giacomini said of the improvement.

What's going on here? Seven of the 11 starters are the same as last year, including four on the offensive line, yet they're a different team when it comes to protecting the quarterback. Three reasons why they've allowed only two sacks:

1. Offensive line: The only new starter is left guard James Carpenter, so they're basically doing it with the same personnel as 2014.
