The Jets may use Joe McKnight at CB in Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Bilal Powell beat out McKnight for third-down duties, and according to Pro Football Focus, he played in just three of the Jets' 67 offensive snaps in Week 1. Though his primary responsibility is still RB, McKnight saw reps at CB in practice this week, and could be used as an emergency option this weekend. This is all the more reason to cut ties with McKnight in all but the deepest of dynasty leagues.

Revis wouldn't have mattered. Jets looked awful on D and O.
Sanchez went two quarters without completing a pass, that's mindboggling.

I wish I had much insight to offer, but I don't. I ended up watching the RGIII/Bradford duel a lot more than this frustrating game. At least that was really fun and exciting.

There's not much to say: Pittsburgh was at home, with the better team and better coaching.
They couldn't go to 0-2 with 2 conference losses, they were highly motivated to get the W and didn't disappoint. I had this as a loss and I'm not even upset about how they played, it is what it is.
If the Jets show up and shut down Bush in Miami on Sunday, they should win rather handily. He's their only weapon.
Honestly I think the Monday nighter vs Houston is the Jets most important game in the season(this is assuming they don't crap the bed against Miami or at home vs the Colts). That win would get them to at least 4-4 at the bye.

I might be the biggest Sanchez homer on the planet, but he has to play better. He was 6-8 80 yards and a TD before the Timmons helmet to helmet rattled him...I think he went 4-19 the rest of the way. He has to be able to overcome that and stay strong for the full 60 minutes.
Shonn Greene continues to be awful. At least Powell mustered a decent ypc.. I'm praying that Powell becomes the lead back sooner rather than later.
The wide receivers collectively played a dreadful game. Santonio had 4 drops by himself, and just did not seem to have any chemistry with Sanchez the whole game. Hill disappeared (although I think a PI should have been called on his 'drop'). Kerley had a drop, and had that awful fumble/deflection on the punt return. Cumberland was just a mess, running the wrong routes, and not understanding when he was the "hot read".
Surprisingly, the offensive line held up pretty well. I think Ducasse got a few reps in at guard, I actually hope we see more of him as the run game really takes off with him in the fold. Austin Howard played another great game, despite allowing a sack.
The front 7 was very underwhelming. I think we had 4 or 5 chances to bring Roethlisberger down, and we just couldn't do it. Guys like Harris really need to do a better job of tackling (as much as I love him). I expected our front 7 to dominate their depleted O-Line...and we did not do this at all.
Secondary was lost without Revis. Cromartie was badly fooled on that TD pass to Wallace...Revis would have easily defended that. Kyle Wilson was bad, Lankster may have been worse. Laron Landry had some foolish penalties and also missed a QB sack. Yeremiah Bell did not impress either.
As bad as the game was...we lost a road game to a conference contender who was desperate for a win. We didn't click, we didn't have our best player and our QB didn't have his safety blanket underneath. Hopefully we can clean up these issues against Miami before the really good teams roll into town.

That should be the goal; 4-4 at the bye works for me. The rest of the schedule after that is really soft.
Just saw this stat in Peter King's MMQB piece this morning: Pittsburgh held the Jets to 3 points and 129 yards in the last 49 minutes (which is more than 80% of the game). Yikes. Even more glad I didn't watch much of this one.

After the Holmes TD the game was really brutal for the Jets. The D can't tackle, the WRs dropped a bunch of passes, Sanchez was bad.

Stanley Arukwe signed to the practice squad.
If that name doesn't sound familiar, it shouldn't, but he's a former collegiate track star who played 1 year of college football at Troy and has been clocked as fast as 4.19 in the 40.
That was short-lived. Arukwe was cut from the PS and Royce Pollard was brought back in his place.

I can't wait for the day Holmes is an ex-Jet. But for now, he's the best they've got
He dropped no fewer than 3 or 4 balls yesterday, got lost in coverage on a few othrs, and I don't think there as a single play where a ball that was thrown his way fell incomplete that he didn't whine for a flag. It was one of the more pathetic, whiny showings I've seen in a while, especially since he actually GOT the most phantom PI call in history called for him earlier in the game on that in-route.
