Tyrod Taylor looked "different".  Dare I say, like an actual QB?  Last year we either ran, or he threw deep or to the sideline.  Yesterday was a heavy dose of throws over the middle.  Still need to see more to justifiably pass over doing all things necessary to move around for a top QB in the Draft, but it was a step in the right direction and I'm interested to see how he continues to grow in this offense Week to Week.

The offense looked sharp in terms of execution.  In and out of the huddle.  Good pace and tempo.

Two things that worried me but may not be justified..

1). Lack of throws to the WRs.  I'd like to see more from Matthews and Jones.  However McDermott said that the Jets took them away by design so we focused more on our backs and tight ends.

2). Very vanilla in the second half.  However, I think the coaches had a good feel for the game and realized once we got up by 9 that the Jets couldn't beat us so they just ran, ran, safe pass, punted until the clock ran out.

Defense was pretty solid.  Monster run defense but the pass rush left some to be desired.  However, McCown got the ball out really quick to negate any pass rush.   Some soft zones underneath that got picked apart but who knows if that was by design or not.   Certainly can't argue with only giving up 12 points.

All in all.  I liked the coaching, the defense was solid with some players (Poyer/Hyde/White/Gaines/Humber) really popping off the screen and the offense should have really put 31 on a dang tough Jets defense if not for the Haushka miss and Clays botched TD catch.
