JETS/TEXANS PODCAST - CLICK LINK AND HIT PLAY BUTTON http://www.divshare.com/download/8448642-4eb When the Jets have the ball... The Jets averaged 125 ypg on the ground and that number is getting ready to go up this season under new head coach Rex Ryan who will undoubtedly look for his offense to pound the rock.  With rookie QB Mark Sanchez pulling the trigger, that is probably a smart move.  The Jets have a solid RB in Thomas Jones but the guy who will terrify the Texans during meetings this week will be Leon Washington who is a terrible matchup for any of the Texans LBs.  I wouldn't be shocked to see the Texans run more zone when Washington is in the game.  I'm just not sure the Jets are good enough to beat the Texans without Mark Sanchez making some plays and that is tough to do in your first NFL game.   Fantasy Report When the Texans have the ball... Texans fans have pretty much Leon Washington, Jets RB - Washington marked the Jets game down as a win, but that is a dangerous thing isn't going to get a ton of carries, but to do when you realize that the Jets new head coach, Rex Ryan, was he'll get enough touches to make a at the helm of the Ravens defense when they destroyed the Texans difference so start him as a "flex". last season.  While the Jets don't have Haloti Ngata, they do have   some good talent and their 3-4 front is going to cause some issues for Owen Daniels, Texans TE - Daniels only Texans center Chris Meyers which might force the Texans into had three TD catches last year despite running outside much more.  The Jets have a tough duo of inside a ton of catches.  Look for the Texans LBs, but Steve Slaton and Owen Daniels have a chance to cause to look for him more in the redzone matchup problems in the passing game.  The Texans passing game should excel but running it could be tough for the Texans. Conclusion: I think Texans defensive coordinator, Frank Bush, can take more chances on defense since it is unlikely that the Jets will ask Mark Sanchez to beat the Texans with big plays down the field.  If Bush can scheme a way to slow down the running game, the Texans will be in great shape because they should be able to get some points on the board.  If the Jets can control the running game on both sides, they've got a real shot here.
