This, according to Rachael Nichols of ESPN (what he told her).
The biggest criticsim of Edwards of a QB (other than the arm strength nonsense) has been that he often looks to his 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th option too quickly and thus the "checkdown" label.
He says - after watching film - this is exactly what he did against Miami and that he won't do that again today against the Jets.
If this is the case (which it probably is), it's why he held on to the ball too long and was sacked/hit too often at Miami. If he leaves his first option then looks to his 2nd or 3rd and they are covered, there's much more of a chance of getting sacked - especially with a QB like Trent who will rarely take stupid chances.
All this, to me, adds up to Lee Evans being looked to even more often today, as well as some more downfiled throws. Not necessarily deep throws.....in fact, maybe even quicker ones. But definitely more to the WRs and less to the TEs and RBs.
Good. Because the Jets secondary is their weak link.
