OFFENSE
This should be two grades: first through third quarters: D; fourth quarter: A. The schizophrenic offense did its thing again yesterday, providing little production until there was five minutes left to play. Mark Sanchez (19-of-32, 165 yards, 1 TD) pulled off another fourth-quarter comeback. Shonn Greene (22 rushes, 88 yards, 3 TDs) made some plays late. Plaxico Burress (three catches, 33 yards) did not have a catch in the second half. The line gave Sanchez time all day. B –
DEFENSE
Early on, it appeared Roy Helu (23 rushes, 100 yards) and tight end Fred Davis (six catches, 99 yards) were going to carve up the Jets. But the Jets started making tackles and forced Rex Grossman to try to beat them, which he couldn’t. The Jets forced and recovered two fumbles, and Aaron Maybin added another sack and a forced fumble to his growing resume. B+
SPECIAL TEAMS
Jeremy Kerley became the latest fumbling Jet, botching a second-quarter punt, as the special teams turnovers have become a huge problem for this team. Nick Folk went 2-for-3 on field goals on a rough field to kick on. T.J. Conley had a few booming punts, including a 52-yarder. C
COACHING
Credit the Jets’ defensive coaches with making some good in-game adjustments on Davis and against the run. They shuffled a lot of personnel in and out of the game, searching for the right combination. Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer worked in a lot of wildcat plays at the request of Rex Ryan, but Schottenheimer had some brutal calls (passing on third-and-1). Ryan needs to get things cleaned up on this team, but give him credit for having a team that usually finds a way to win. B
