Target CB Josh Norman

If the Jets want to succeed in the air, they should target Josh Norman in coverage. Norman is the Redskins’ third-highest paid player, but arguably their worst defensive back. When quarterbacks throw his way, Norman has allowed a passer rating of 142.5 (80th among cornerbacks) and 3.6 receptions per game for 51.9 yards and six touchdowns. Norman allows receivers to catch 70.7 percent of their targets.

This sets up Robby Anderson for a great spot against one of the worst secondaries in the NFL. Anderson is a speedster by nature and Norman gets burned (by allowing at least five yards of downfield separation) on 7.3 percent of targets. Darnold should attack Norman early and often downfield to jump-start the Jets offense.
