The defense was not supposed to be the issue for the New York Jets entering 2025. Despite a questionable quarterback, a horrific receiving corps, and a rookie head coach, the one thing that seemed a certainty was solid defensive football. Through four games, it’s been quite the opposite.
The Jets' defense is bad. That's not to say that they aren’t talented, but it is saying that they are, in fact, bad. It’s not as though one facet on that side of the ball is failing them. In many ways, the entire infrastructure is caving in, and the architect (or assistant architect in this case) seems to have fewer answers than Kanye on Sway in the Morning.
