2012 Jets: A Preview

With Sanchez and Tebow manning the offense as Quarterbacks, and Shonn Greene, possibly in his final season with the Jets, leading the running game, the Jets offense has a new look in 2012. The Offensive Line, if healthy, can either make or break the team.

With the recent departure of Wayne Hunter, the O-Line seems as stable as ever, and if the defense can be as good as a Rex Ryan defense should be, the Jets look like a lock to have a supra-.500 season in 2012.

Nick Folk won the kicking job, as I predicted. With Conley and Jeremy Kerley manning the special teams unit, the Jets are in good hands.

The Jets need their safeties to remain healthy and the offensive line to click. If that happens, I feel that you will see vast improvements in Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow, helping to lead the Jets back to the playoffs.

Three Players need improvement in 2012:

-Shonn Greene-In the final year of his rookie contract, Greene must show signs of improvement in 2012 to stick around.

-Antonio Cromartie-In my opinion, Cromartie is one of the most underrated players in all of football. However, last season, the amount of penalties levied upon him and the Jets was unbelievable. Lessening the penalties will go a long way in helping the Jets in 2012.

-Mark Sanchez-Part of the problem with Sanchez last season was the lack of protection by his offensive line, which I feel is part of the reason for his increased sacking and interception rates last year. However, over the last few years, there has been a revolving door at Wide Receiver. With the exception of Santonio Holmes, Sanchez has been flanked by Braylon Edwards, Plaxico Burress, David Clowney IV, Brad Smith, and Jerricho Cotchery, just to name a few. He needs consistency, given to him by Santonio Holmes.

I have the utmost faith in Mark Sanchez and Antonio Cromartie to improve this season. Shonn Greene, not so much.

I have never really seen what Mike Tannenbaum and the Jets saw in Shonn Greene when they drafted him back in 2009
