The New York Jets will blitz more frequently this season with Rex Ryan retaking control of the defense.

Many of the Jets felt that the defense became too conservative under Mike Pettine. 

Pettine left the Jets after the season to become defensive coordinator of the Buffalo Bills.

The Jets were ranked first and third in blitz frequency in 2009 and 2010, while falling to 12th and 11th over the past two seasons.
