Not saying it has to be flashy but shutting down the run on his side and tipping a pass or picking up the ball if Jets fumble wouldn't surprise me from him. I think he's still got it.

Brandon Marshall is playing with a sore hip. Hopefully Dre, Adam Jones, and the safeties can contain him to an extent. That is to say, I wouldn't be surprised if he still put up 100 yards and a TD but I'm hoping that's as bad as it gets. Forte is a pass catching threat and Fitz is mobile but I still feel like our D should match up well overall. Geno and Dunlap will get to him eventually. Iloka and Williams will probably have a ton of tackles in our typical bend but don't break style. I'd imagine them mostly fading back into zone coverage as the Jets are weak at TE and play a lot of spread formation Offense.

On offense, I'm thinking Dalton comes back in last years form. Revis is scary but Dalton is smart enough not to throw at him unless his guy is wide open. Green will still get some yardage (mostly on the few plays where he isn't covered by Revis) but you can imagine Boyd and Kroft seeing a lot of the passes coming their ways. Meanwhile Hill and Gio will get plenty of work on the ground with Sheldon Richardson suspended. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if we run it more times than we pass it.

I have no idea what Lafell will do. I didn't see enough of him in the pre-season to really judge. Maybe they'll ease him in with a few throws his way? I guess a lot would depend on if he can get open.

I believe Bowles is a good coach. He plays a conservative game which will take him far in this league. Still the talent the Jets will be fielding just doesn't match up well. So as long as we don't make mistakes (mismanage the clock or commit foolish turnovers), I think we will likely win. That isn't to say this is a gimme game though. We could lose and still be a very good team this season (though we do need this game quite a bit considering how tough our first 6 are).

Perhaps I am misinterpreting what you are saying there, but MJ will go against Ryan Clady, their LT.  Dunlap will be facing Ben Ijalana, the first string RT.
