New Tandem in the Middle for Jets Defense on the Horizon?

Are Demario Davis’ days as an every-down inside linebacker over? If yesterday’s win against the Miami Dolphins is any indication, it appears that could be the case.

Davis played a season-low 36 snaps, while off-season free agent addition Erin Henderson saw his snap count jump to a season-high of 30, primarily coming in on passing downs as 25 of his 30 reps were in passing situations according to PFF.com.

Henderson finished the game with 5 tackles (4 solo) while Davis had 4 (3 solo) of his own, low totals that weren’t helped by the fact that the Dolphins had just nine rushing attempts as a team.
