Season in Review: Defense and Special Teams

Defensive MVP: Darrelle Revis

Defensive Line:

Shaun Ellis had another good season anchoring the defensive line.  He finished with 53 tackles and 6.5 sacks which are pretty good numbers for a defensive end in the 3-4.  The longest tenured Jet should be returning next year in the same role.

Season Grade: B+

Sione Pouha played great this season filling in when Kris Jenkins went down with an injury.  Many thought the Jets defense would suffer greatly without last seasons defensive MVP but Pouha was able to step in and play great.

Season Grade: A-

Marques Douglas was serviceable at the defensive end position this year and I expect that we will see him back next year in the same role.
