FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The last time the New York Jets called a seven-man rush (read: all-out blitz) was That Play -- the one that cost them a game in the final seconds and resulted in Gregg Williams' immediate ouster.
Coincidence? Probably not.
Since the debacle against the Las Vegas Raiders, interim defensive coordinator Frank Bush has changed the way the Jets play defense. He's more conservative than Williams, who was an adrenaline junkie who lived on the edge. Jets players have responded to Bush with two strong games in a row (both wins), no doubt causing coach Adam Gase to second-guess himself for not firing Williams sooner.
