Checking in with D Lee

In a radio interview with ESPN 98.7, Darron Leereferred to himself as the "Mike" linebacker. Is the former first-round pick being groomed to replace Demario Davis at the all-important middle linebacker position? Uh, not exactly.

I can say with great certainty that free-agent addition Avery Williamson is slated to be in the middle, with Lee staying at the weak inside spot. Chances are, Lee is getting some informal reps in the middle. After all, 'tis the season for experimenting.

Lee made a couple of other interesting comments:

• "I've lost 22 games in my career and I've had enough."
• "For me, scoring on defense is going to be crucial for us this year. I think if we score on defense, we're going to win more than eight games. I know that for a fact."

Incredibly, the Jets haven't scored on defense since Oct. 20, 2013, when Antonio Allen returned an interception for a touchdown against Tom Brady. Since then, they've gone a league-high 73 games without a defensive touchdown.

Hopefully, this season we will make up for some of that. I didn't realize that it had been that long.
