JETS with coach cnorys4
You finished the season 11-5 what were some of the key reasons your team made the playoffs?
Our biggest strength this year, and anyone can attest, was our defense. We kept things simple on the D side of the ball and ultimately put many guys in a position for success. Coming into the year we really emphasized pressure up front and I couldn’t feel more confident about that aspect of our game, but it truly was our Secondary that stepped up huge this season. I think the Legion of Boom took its talents east this year. The addition of Gilchrist, Revis, and Cro; really helped lock down the secondary and allow them to thrive in this 34 defense.
-------------------------------------------------
You are the #5 seed and will face the AFC south champs Titans. When yall played earlier in the year the titans earned its signature win. How much are you wanting redemption for the 6 turnovers the offense had?
We saw a major opportunity entering the postseason to replay some matchups against the Raiders and Titans whichever way it sliced itself. These were the 2 stingers of the year. Being as that the matchup is against the Titans, we are definitely preparing for this game for full redemption. We take those 6 turnovers away and there is a good chance we win that ball game. If we don’t commit 6 turnovers in the next one….there is a good chance we win that ball game.
----------------------------------------------
You were in a odd spot with your week 17 matchup vs division rivalry the Bills. They are a team you could see in the 2nd round of the playoffs. Did you hold some plays/players back just for the reason or do you just worry about that if it comes up?
I take full responsibility for losing that last matchup against the Bills. A few bad decisions really cost us that game. With that being said, we’re not putting too much emphasis into this next one. We haven’t decided if we are going to hold anyone back, but the intentions are not to go out and get anyone hurt a week before playoffs. Should a 3rd matchup arise this season, then we will be ready, but for now our focus has shifted to the Titans.
---------------------------------------------
You currently have the 1st ranked scoring defense and 2nd in total yards. Anytime that happens it’s a group effort so tell me a few guys on the defense that's not getting a lot of press that we should be talking about?
Marcus Gilchrist came over from the San Diego Chargers this offseason and has been an absolute stud. Haven’t paid much attention to the DPoY talks, but hands down he has carried the defense all year and hands down the best free in the NFL this year. His stats aren’t the flashiest by any means, but it seems that everything he has done this year has come at the most opportune time.
Another set of guys who have really developed this year and have only gotten better as the year progressed are the MLB’s, Demario Davis and David Harris. Running a 3-4 means your middle backers must be playmakers and they have done that. We’ve seen our pass defense thrive all year, but our run defense was a little shaky at times Down the stretch we went from 10th all the way up to 3rd and a lot of that credit goes to them.

Finish this sentence the Jets win the superbowl if........
The defense continues its dominance and the Offense secures the ball.
