The New York Jets put on an embarrassing display this past Monday night, as the Indianapolis Colts came into MetLife Stadium and destroyed them in front of their home crowd. Head coach Todd Bowles looks to have lost his team, as they do not even have an identity on defense. We know that quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is done in New York, and it will be Bryce Petty’s show the rest of the way, but it is the performance of the team’s defense that has people scratching their heads.

This Jets team was supposed to be led by their defense, as they have some incredibly talented players up front and at the linebacker position. Veteran Darrelle Revis was supposed to lead the way in the secondary, but he looks like a player who does not want to play football anymore. On a few occasions on Monday night, he just decided not to play defense, and it appears that Revis Island is officially open to whoever wants to visit.

Adding a shutdown cornerback is going to be a necessity next April, as it appears the team will roll with Petty and possibly 2016 second round draft pick Christian Hackenberg at quarterback. Alabama’s Marlon Humphrey is the best corner in this draft, and should be the first one off the board. He would slide right in as the top cornerback on this roster next season, enabling Revis to move to safety, or possibly call it a career.
