Is the NY Jets’ run defense still an area of concern in 2023?

In 2022, most New York Jets fans and analysts were screaming for additions to their run defense before the start of the season. The Jets essentially stood pat and finished 10th in rush defense DVOA one year after finishing 26th.

The question is if the landscape is all that different entering 2023. The Jets’ run defense was shaky despite fairly strong statistics. Meanwhile, they lost two key players from their 2022 run defense and have yet to replace one of them.

Have the Jets done enough to address their run defense this offseason, or does it remain a weak point?
