Well, it hadn't been very long since Chicago had been in the playoffs, so the Bears were definitely closer in regrouping, but I'm not sure how much was in place in NY before Sanchez came along.

Jets have a very good offensive line, very good defense, and good running game. Last year they were able to overcome the growing pains of rookie QB with all those things.

Goes to show you how important it is to have a strong offensive line and strong running game! Who was it here that said that the NFL is a passing game and we shouldn't worry so much about a running game? I think the Jets proved that wasn't true.

Most of their OL, Brad Smith, Cotchery, Revis, David Harris, Kris Jenkins, Calvin Pace, Mike Divito, Keller, just to name a few.

I wouldn't say that, but it certainly helps.

Teams that "do not" run actually do run it for the purpose of keeping defenses honest. It may be a minimal role, but a role nonetheless.

I definitely agree with that! No matter what era of football we talk about, the teams that normally win more championships have a strong running game.
