IN HIS OWN WORDS WITH DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR JEFF ULBRICH - Ulbrich breaks down Jets' defensive personnel

(Marcus Maye) can do it all. I would feel comfortable with him (at free or strong safety). He’s a guy that, to me, he can play deep, he can play the half field, he can play the middle third, he can do that and you feel comfortable with it. I think he’s got range, speed and athleticism. I think he’s got ball skills and instincts to be a deep safety. But I think he’s got enough size and girth and want-to and courage to play in the box. It’ll be fun to utilize all the things that he does. He can cover tight ends; he can cover some of the wide receivers in this league.

Lamarcus Joyner is a guy that you didn’t know, because he’s vacillated between nickel and safety. He’s hopped around, and we’re kind of putting him back in his home at the safety position. I’ve always known the player, but I didn’t know the guy, and the guy has been amazing for the (defensive backs) room, just the leadership. He’s a guy you got to protect in OTAs because he does not know how to not go 100 percent. He’s providing a fantastic example for our young guys.

(DE Carl Lawson) is just a natural worker who wants to be great at what he does; he’s an absolute technician. He is obsessed with the game, obsessed with the technique, and he wants to become the most technical pass rusher in the league. He works his butt off to do that.
