Jets' Slot Defense in Trouble | New York Jets News

The Jets’ defense is firing on all cylinders against the Titans, with TVondre Sweat shutting down their run game and forcing Cam Ward into pressure-packed third downs. But here’s the catch: WanDale Robinson, a slot receiver who led the league last year in receiving yards from that spot, is Ward’s go-to target — and the Jets have no one ready to stop him. Rookie cornerback D’Angelo Ponds, making his NFL debut after missing all preseason with an injury, is slated to cover Robinson — a risky gamble. If he fails, they’ll turn to Jarvis Brownlee Jr., a former Titan whose coverage skills are shaky. The Jets are stuck between a rookie with rust and a veteran with glaring weaknesses — and Robinson is about to make them pay.
