The difference in the Jets so far is their defense giving up HALF the points they allowed last year. You're not going to lose often holding teams to 11 ppg. They're actually scoring 4 fewer points/game on offense this year than they did in '08, and heavily balanced towards the run over the pass (104 runs/84 passes). Which is exactly what you would want with a rookie QB, and Sanchez has done his job as well as any rookie could. I'd imagine if the Chiefs were able to do the same thing with Cassel, he's probably have really good numbers. Hell, he's completing 2/3 of his passes without a running game, a line or receivers.
