Rex Ryan’s Grand Experiment: The Flexible Front Seven? Our 285-pound backer? Honestly, I can’t muster enough energy to talk about Sanchez and quarterbacks. The most intriguing thing for me about this Jets team is the experiment taking place on Rex Ryan’s defense. Specifically, with the front seven. For anyone who’s watched this squad over the years, it’s clear Ryan can coach defense. And the Jets defensive units have been solid. That said, the number of times I’ve watched a quarterback sit in the pocket and look down the field…and continue looking…and check down to his third option…and then slide out of the pocket…and OMFG where the hell is the RUSHHHH!!!!??? This sentiment has been all too common. In today’s passing league, pressure on the quarterback is only mounting in importance. That responsibility falls primarily on the guys up front. Which is what’s so interesting to watch on this season’s version of the green and white. Our front seven is like a mad chemist’s experimental lab. Are we running a 4-3? 3-4? Both. How much of which?
