|
| |  | NY JETS: After a disastrous year in Tony Sparano's 'ground and pound' offense, the Jets have turned to new offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg, more of a finesse guy and closer to former OC Brian Schottenheimer. They'll use more zone blocking, and power runner Chris Ivory will probably take the bulk of the carries. Mike Goodson, who has flashed in a part-time role, fits nicely into this scheme. So does back-up Bilal Powell, though he could end up on the outside looking in. Joe McKnight will likely continue to be a utility player.
Mornhinweg is a West Coast guy. His biggest challenge will be finding some kind of rhythm for his quarterback, whether it is Geno Smith or Mark Sanchez. If nothing else, they both have the feet to run this offense. But the Jets lack any sort of true catch-and-run threat. Santonio Holmes is the best in a weak group of receivers. Stephen Hill is strictly a field-stretcher at this point, as is TE Jeff Cumberland. Jeremy Kerley will likely be leaned on more heavily, and Mike Goodson should be involved in the screen game. Mornhinweg has always skewed pass-heavy near the goal line, using a lot of play-action and rollouts. Ivory should take all red zone and goal line reps. But the Jets might be quick to abandon the run down here.
The Jets have given up an increased amount of points and yards in each of the past three seasons, and their No. 2-rated pass defense lost CB Darrelle Revis, S Yeremiah Bell and S LaRon Landry. Star CB Antonio Cromartie remains for new defensive coordinator Dennis Thurman, and rookie CB Dee Milliner and SS Dawan Landry will help too. In terms of the front seven, head coach Rex Ryan will help oversee a defense that should be much more aggressive with its blitz packages with monstrous second-year OLB Quinton Coples. | | CAROLINA: New offensive coordinator Mike Shula was promoted from QB coach, so there won't be many offensive changes. Carolina uses a zone-blocking scheme in a number of looks, from spread to wishbone. Jonathan Stewart figures to lead the RB committee in carries, with DeAngelo Williams in a No. 2 role and Mike Tolbert splitting time at halfback and fullback. They use a lot of zone read options with Cam Newton, who could very well lead the team in rushing again as Shula is committed to letting his star pupil make plays.
This is a vertical passing game that works off the threat of the run. Shula will continue to make it a point to feed Steve Smith any time he's in single coverage. Smith still does most of his work downfield. Flex TE Greg Olsen serves as essentially a No. 2 receiver, working up the seam most of the time but also coming back on some checkdowns in the middle of the field. They started to work in Brandon LaFell last year as a catch-and-run guy, and he figures to kick inside when they increasingly go three-wide with field-stretcher Domenik Hixon outside. The red zone will continue to be where Newton takes over. He had nearly half the team's rushing attempts inside the 10 last year, and he and Tolbert essentially split goal line chances. When they throw, Olsen figures to be the No. 1 target.
This defense will need another year or two before becoming an above-average unit. LB Luke Kuechly led the NFL with 164 tackles as a rookie, and the Panthers drafted two large DTs in Star Lotulelei and Kawann Short who will be great down the road. But although no Carolina player had more than two interceptions in 2012, the team did nothing to bolster its secondary. The best cover men are underwhelming CBs Josh Norman and Josh Taylor, and top SS Haruki Nakamura has no business being a starter in the NFL. |

*Jets-Panthers Preview* =======================
By NICOLINO DIBENEDETTO STATS Writer
The Carolina Panthers already paid a price for getting ahead of themselves.
Doing it again could severely dent their chances at an NFC South title.
The Panthers look to get back on track by continuing their success at home by beating the New York Jets and severely damaging their slim playoff hopes.
Carolina (9-4) had its eight-game winning streak halted with a 31-13 loss at New Orleans last week, falling a game behind the Saints in the division race.
The Panthers learned what could be a valuable lesson as they try to eventually end a four-year playoff drought.
"I feel like we did get a little ahead of ourselves as far as feeling good," defensive end Greg Hardy said. "It happens to the best of us. When you get something that you really deserve it gives you a great feeling and you get kind of comfortable in a sense - not really complacent or content, but kind of comfortable.
"I feel like that is where we were for a second and we learned our lesson. We got our hand burned."
Overlooking the Jets (6-7) could prove even more costly since Carolina hosts the Saints next week before concluding the regular season at last-place Atlanta. New Orleans ends 2013 at home versus Tampa Bay, but visits St. Louis this week.
The Panthers could clinch a playoff spot Sunday, combining a win with losses by San Francisco and Arizona, while Dallas or Philadelphia fail to win.
"There is a lot on the line this week," coach Ron Rivera said.
The Jets certainly share that sentiment as they chase Baltimore and try to fend off a host of other teams for the final wild-card spot in the AFC playoff race. They're one game behind the Ravens, but lost to them in Week 12.
"Every game's a playoff game for us, man," rookie defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson said. "That's how we have to look at it."
A return home, where the Panthers have won five straight, could also benefit Cam Newton, who completed 22 of 34 passes for 160 yards and one touchdown while being sacked five times against the Saints.
Newton has a 100.2 passer rating while completing 65.2 percent of his passes for 1,148 yards and 10 touchdowns with five interceptions during the five-game winning streak in Charlotte. He's also been sacked just seven times, while rushing for 223 yards with three TDs on 34 carries.
Newton may be key to keeping that run going since the Jets defense ranks 24th against the pass, surrendering an average of 254.9 yards. The unit - second in the league in yielding 82.6 rushing yards per game - may also be without cornerback Antonio Cromartie, who is trying to recover from a concussion.
"It's a great opportunity to go out and really prove to ourselves who we are," Newton said.
The Panthers defense is looking to rebound from one of its worst performances of the season, giving up a season-high 304 passing yards and 373 overall. They also gave up four passing touchdowns to New Orleans after yielding just nine over the first 12 games.
Still, Carolina allows a league-low 14.5 points per game, and ranks second overall while allowing 296.2 yards.
The Jets, meanwhile, are 31st in the league with just 17.4 points per game, which drops to 13.2 on the road. - where they're 1-5.
Despite the production, they're feeling confident following last week's 37-27 win over Oakland.
"The spirits are higher, but for me it's the same work week," rookie quarterback Geno Smith said.
Smith may be feeling good after completing 16 of 25 passes for 219 yards with one touchdown and one pick against the Raiders while running for another score and gaining 50 yards on five carries. It was a vast improvement over the previous five games, when he completed 47.1 percent of his passes with eight INTs and no touchdown passes.
"Throughout the game, I was just playing freely," Smith said. "It goes back to not thinking about all my past mistakes. I think I kind of got into this zone where I just tried to be way too perfect and that's almost impossible to do at any level, especially as a rookie. There were times where I was so caught up in running the play and executing it to perfection that I didn't allow my natural ability to take over at times."
Coach Rex Ryan feels Smith's rushing ability could be important against Carolina's defense.
"Anytime you talk about putting a defense on their heels, when you're throwing it and now all of a sudden you take off with it, it presents a lot to a defense," Ryan said. "Obviously, with this kid we're getting ready to play, Cam Newton is a big, fast kid back there. He's got a great arm too.
"That's going to present problems."
Containing Newton to the pocket may be a priority after the Jets allowed a season-worst 150 yards rushing last week.
"Normally, a big strength of ours is our gap integrity in the run," Ryan said. "Obviously, we had a couple of issues in that, so clearly moving forward that has to be a strength, not a weakness."
