New York Jets: Unconventional Approach At Safety
The weakest part of the New York Jets defense in 2011 was the safety position. The bulk of reps were taken by Eric Smith, Brodney Pool, and Jim Leonhard.

New York Jets: Safety Needs Multiple Player Solution
The New York Jets current depth chart at safety is almost as scary as their depth chart at right tackle.

Jets Restructure Ferguson's Contract, Create Cap Space
