The New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers will meet in the AFC Championship game this weekend and Steelers fans at Behind The Steel Curtain are predicting how the Jets will play the Steelers. Will they sit back in coverage? Attack? Where will CB Darrelle Revis play?
Jets Vs. Steelers: How To Play Darrelle Revis
There are all kinds of questions and BTSC tries to answer some of them.
The Jets game plan against the Steelers clearly was to be physical with the receivers, and they played a lot of underneath zone coverage. Expect something similar to that, but Revis will be used both in the slot and outside the numbers in man coverage, daring the Steelers to sacrifice a receiver to clear him out with deep routes. Ryan will try to bait Steelers offensive coordinator Bruce Arians into three and four wide receiver sets, which will allow the Jets to counter with another impressive cover defensive back.
As it always is, the key is Revis because he’ll be all by himself. He’s been able to shut most everyone down but even one slipup could be significant in this game. BTSC suggets Roethlisberger is more of a gambler than Tom Brady or Peyton Manning so you have see some more balls thrown Revis’ way this week.
