Spread 'em out?
The Jets have one of the NFL's worst offenses, and they utilize a trio of running backs.
Given how well the Vikings defense handles the run, the Jets may try to run a lot of three receiver sets. The Jets are not real deep at the position, but their top two receivers are both dangerous. Laveranues Coles leads the team with 75 catches for 921 yards and five touchdowns, while Jerricho Cotchery has 65 catches for 802 yards and five touchdowns.
Veteran Justin McCareins also is a proven player. But rookie Brad Smith was a quarterback in college, and he has only seven catches for 30 yards.
Jets quarterback Chad Pennington, though, has another athletic target: tight end Chris Baker.
Though the Jets aren't loaded on offense, they do have enough weapons to be dangerous. Pennington is a rhythm passer, and he can shred a defense. The key for the Vikings will be to pressure him, like Buffalo did last Sunday.
