at Sam Darnold this early in his career. He had to play 3 games in 10 days out of the gate. 3 of his first 4 games were on the road. He has faced a terrifying cluster of defenses.So White Jordan Jenkins Jersey , with all of that in mind, I was curious to see what the numbers said about the difficulty of Darnold’s start. How tough of a schedule has Darnold faced through five weeks compared to the rest of the league’s starting quarterbacks?I looked at the 30 quarterbacks in the league who have thrown at least 100 passing attempts to this point in time. For each, I went through their schedule and compiled the average pass defense DVOA of their opponents.DVOA (defense-adjusted value over average) is a signature stat of Football Outsiders that weights the raw numbers based on game situations and opponents in order to get a more accurate gauge on true value.Here are the results, with 30 quarterbacks ranked by the average pass defense DVOA rankings of their opponents.Darnold checks in with the third-hardest slate of pass defenses faced. After kicking off the year against Detroit’s #29 pass defense, Darnold had a tough three-game stretch against the #5 Dolphins, the #2 Browns Jordan Jenkins Jersey 2019 , and the #3 Jaguars. He got back into the win column against the Broncos’ #18 unit.Only Marcus Mariota and Derek Carr have had a rougher group of pass defenses opposite them through the early part of the season. Among rookies, Darnold has had the hardest run. Josh Allen checks in a few spots behind at 7th, while Baker Mayfield is in the middle of the pack at 16th. Josh Rosen has not even thrown 60 passes yet, so he missed the qualification cutoff. His two starts were against Seattle’s #8 pass defense unit and San Francisco’s #23 unit.The rest of the Jets’ schedule presents a mixed bag. The Jets have a few games left against teams ranked highly at the moment but don’t seem to have the talent to hold up their current spots. The team still has two games against the Bills, who are currently ranked 7th, and one against the Dolphins White Leonard Williams Jerseys , who as mentioned are ranked 5th.The Jets will take on Minnesota in a couple of weeks. The Vikings are currently way down at 26th in pass defense DVOA, but that is a team loaded with talent that seems due to start climbing that ladder. The Jets also have a road date with the current top-ranked pass defense in the Chicago Bears. Good morning, Gang Green Nation! I hope everyone’s having a great start to their day. Last day in the month of January, and the only notable thing from this month has been the changes in the coaching staff. Not much of a surprise considering the state of the franchise, though we did have 3 participants in the Pro Bowl this year. Although 2鈦? were STer’s, I still consider this a plus. Found an interesting article on the Jets’ team website — which is linked below — regarding a review of our CB’s on the year. Listing injuries as the reason for this groups’ falter (only plausible one could be Claiborne) Leonard Williams Jerseys 2019 , and somehow insisting that this was otherwise a great year for that squad. I disagree with this assessment however, because a small handful of very good showings does not equal to a season full of great play. More times than not, our secondary looked completely lost, and considering the price tags and experience of the people playing those positions, it’s completely unacceptable. The only two DB’s to have true hope for at this point (who are actually Safeties) are Adams, and Maye— if he can ever recover from the RCR curse. Stypulkoski also blesses us with what is becoming a weekly occurrence of reachings; and pointing out the obvious while questioning your intellect.
