NY Jets vs the Houston Texans half time
Here we are at half time and the Jets have been more impressive than I anticipated.
This last drive of the half by the Jets was the best drive of the game. Sanchez has really stepped up and moved the ball well, but when the clock was down to 22 seconds with the ball on about the 18 he throws an interception which was likely the one play that truly hurt them badly as the half was ending. This was a missed opportunity to tie the game back up.
Yes the Texans are ahead with a score of 17 to 7, but I would think one of the things they will talk about in the locker room is how they too are surprised with the Jets performance defensively and how they need to combat it more if they want to keep the lead.
Offensively I think the Texans just need to do more of what they have been.
I think the Jets need to continue to give the opposing offense more pressure, or even the appearance of more pressure like they had in some plays in the previous half. A number of times they had the Texan offense believing they were going to blitz and manage to drop in to decent zone coverage and were there to make plays.
This was not effective all the time, but it did work well on some plays and when it worked it worked well.
Offensively I think they look better tonight then in previous games so it may be they are finally getting their rhythm. That and play Tebow more to allow him to get a rhythm with the receivers.
