Locked On Jets - Daily Podcast On The New York Jets

As we approach the offseason, much attention is paid to team needs. Most of the time needs are viewed through the lens of weakest positions. There is a degree of validity to this. It is important for teams to make their worst parts better.

Needs have different dimensions in the NFL, though. Teams also should be focused on filling certain roles. Sometimes these roles can be filled by players at more than one position. It is simply important that somebody is there to fill it. Many of these roles come in the form of game changing talent that forces the other team to adjust its gameplan.

On today’s podcast John addresses the key roles the Jets need to fill this offseason. The good news is there are some internal possibilities for each role if those players raise their games.

Today we continue our podcast series focused on Jets needs and turn our attention to the defensive side of the ball. On the show John talks about the three spots he thinks are weakest on the Jets defense.

The discussion is about about specific starting spots, not groups as a whole. This is based on a number of factors, including the value of positions.

Obviously based on their performance in 2021, the Jets need a lot of help on defense. Some of the improvement will hopefully be internal going forward as players develop and guys who had down seasons bounce back. The team still needs to increase the talent base at a number of key spots, however, and that will be a focus of today’s show.
