Through three games in the 2021 NFL season, the Jets have scored 3 points in the first half. Tackle Morgan Moses is part of the mostly veteran line (LG Alijah Vera-Tucker is a rookie), and he wants the offense to match the production the Jets have had on the defensive side of the ball.
"One of the key things is starting fast," Moses said. "The defense is playing outstanding, but we have to find a way to play complementary football. We [the offense] can't be on the field for 30 seconds, punt the ball and put the defense back out there and expect them to hold up.
"What can we do to spell the defense? It's sustaining drives. If we give the defense 5-6 minutes of rest, they come back out fresh. We have to find an identity in the offense running the ball. It doesn't have to be 10 yards a pop. It can be 2-3 yards, rough runs, and then they bump it up to 5 yards and 10-yard explosive runs. The big part is establishing the run, so we can take those shots down the field."
