It’s been quite an off-season for the New York Jets. After their surprising run through the AFC playoffs last season, they have done anything but stand pat with their roster. Most of the draft experts claim that pairing #1 pick Kyle Wilson with all-universe Darrelle Revis at the cornerback spots will make the Jets’ defense impossible to score on this season. Let me be the devil’s advocate here – for one, the games still have to be played on the field. Also, the Jets’ moves of adding Ladainian Tomlinson, Santonio Holmes and others have the distinct smell of being Dan Snyder-like fantasy team moves, adding big names and assuming that your team will now be all-world. I’m interested to see what effect the subtractions of players like Allan Faneca, Kerry Rhodes and Thomas Jones have on the club. That being said, my opinion is that the Jets will be an improved team, a major force in the AFC, for one reason – because of their coach, Rex Ryan. Ryan is a guy who defies conventional wisdom, ignores the usual excuse-laden coach-speak and has high expectations of himself and his team, and a high energy level. Look for the Jets to win the AFC East this season.
