Second-rate secondary

“Maybe a little tighter coverage and we get those sacks,” Wilkerson had said Thursday.

Just as problematic is the lack of big plays. A season ago, the Jets made 18 interceptions; this year, with four games to go, they’re tied for fourth-from-last in the league in that category with six.

“Just haven’t been making many plays on the ball,” Skrine said. “We just have to play better on the back end. As a team, we have to play better.

“I feel like the last five or six games we played, the secondary has gotten better,” he added. “Monday night (in a 41-10 loss to the Colts), we laid an egg. Man, it is what it is. We’re trying to get better every day.”

They’re rapidly running out of time. Just four games remain in the season, and now that the playoffs are an impossibility, Todd Bowles could opt to test youngsters out on defense, something he alluded to earlier in the week, when he said “a bunch of young guys will get some playing time” down the stretch.

With Revis’ future in doubt and questions about the viability of teaming Leonard Williams, Sheldon Richardson and Wilkerson on the defensive line, the Jets could opt to make the defense over this offseason.

And that means the time for this Jets defensive core could be at an end. Harris knows, that, too.

“I mean, we always get evaluated,” he said. “That’s part of the business. All you do is try to go out there and win and do your best every game.”
