W/ Seattle: 5 games 22 Rec 133 YDS 6.0 Ave 0 TD 20+ (1) 40+ (0)
11 Att. 92 YDS 8.4 Ave 1 TD 51 (lg)
W/ NYJ: 8 games 29 Rec 350 YDS 12.1 Ave 1 TD 20+ (5) 40+ (2)
22 Att. 110 YDS 5.0 Ave 0 TD 13 (lg)
Contributing Factors-
Seattle: Wilson/ Lynch
NYJ: Smith & Vick/ Ivory & Johnson
Not to make you guys feel worse (although it just might); as an outsider without any rooting interest, the above comparison could be considered worrisome when you look at utilizing your talent on the offensive side of the ball, mainly the WR position.
The Jets, Offensive DVOA of 25th, with Smith & Vick throwing to him, were able to double Harvin's yards per game average.
The Seahawks, Offensive DVOA of 5th, with Wilson throwing and Lynch in the backfield, only averaged 6.0 yards per game and only 1 catch over 20 yards.
I know Bevell is taking a lot of heat here but this falls squarely on him. Even with Wilson's athletic ability and his strengths in the passing game, Bevell and the rest of the offensive staff have a tough time utilizing playmakers in the passing game. The Jets did a better job with less talent.
