* Similarities between Ravens and Jets: “I think it’s to some degree accurate. I think you’ll see much more blitzing from the Jets than we did from the Ravens. The Ravens elected against New England (in the Wild Card round) and against us basically to play coverage. I think the Jets will do less of that. I think they believe in coming after you and creating havoc and creating bad plays. Both teams do an exceptional job of defensing the run – the Jets, principally, with their linebackers; the Ravens up front with that great front three. Offensively, they are pretty much mirror images except that Sanchez is healthy and I’m not sure (Ravens quarterback Joe) Flacco was 100 percent with that hip situation. You could see a lot more movement out of Sanchez than perhaps Flacco was capable of doing. Sanchez zhas every bit as good an arm as Flacco; obviously not the experience level, but he has played in a lot of big games at the University of Southern California and he has conducted himself magnificently throughout the playoffs, so as Rex Ryan said, ‘He’s no longer a rookie; he has played 14 games.’ There are a lot similarities, but I think you’ll see more blitzing from the Jets and in Shonn Greene the Jets have a very special back who has fresh legs and who can run through automobiles, locomotives – whatever you put in his way, he’s going to knock over. He’s a great back.”
