Cowboys at Jets: Insider reveals New York’s biggest weakness
3. What was the Jets’ biggest weakness going into the season and what is their biggest weakness going into this matchup?
PE: The Jets’ biggest weakness heading into the season was their cornerback depth chart. Their No. 1 cornerback Trumaine Johnson was supposed to hold down the fort with his $72 million contract, but he’s been abysmal.
Brian Poole has been PFF’s highest-rated corner this year, so he’s been a pleasant surprise. But overall the Jets’ can be had on the backend of their defense. Although the biggest weakness now is the offensive line. The unit was expected to be at worst average, but they’ve been anything but.
