Sorely depleted secondary

Brian Poole will miss his first game as a Jet while he recovers from a concussion while fellow cornerback Arthur Maulet (calf) and safeties Matthias Farley (ribs) and Jamal Adams (ankle) are doubtful for the game. That leaves the Jets with five healthy cornerbacks and three healthy safeties. That’s less than ideal against a pass-happy Dolphins team on an offensive hot streak.

The Jets defense will need to rely on their front-seven to get pressure on Ryan Fitzpatrick and not allow him to attack the injury-plagued secondary. Marcus Maye will become the de facto leader with Adams likely out, and Bless Austin and Darryl Roberts will likely hold down the outside. It will be paramount for Gregg Williams to coach around his beleaguered defense.
