It only took one series for long-awaited lineup change to make an impact for Jets

The NY Jets are begging for just about anyone to emerge as a key contributor after a 0-5 start and a duel with the very impressive Denver Broncos in London. It didn't take long for a player fans were begging to see more off to make his presence felt.

The Jets started rookie safety Malachi Moore ahead of established starter Tony Adams. The nickel cornerback spot, left vacant with Michael Carter II's injury, was to be alternated between veteran Isaiah Oliver and new trade addition Jarvis Brownlee.

Jets fans fresh off seeing their team go five straight games without forcing a turnover on the defensive side of the ball saw their thirsts quenched when Brownlee negated a Troy Franklin first down by punching the ball out and leading the Jets to recover. New York struck first in this game, as a Nick Folk field goal made it 3-0.

Brownlee's biggest appeal as a player is his feistiness as a tackler. When paired with some solid man coverage skills, it's no wonder why a Jets team that plays a ton of man coverage was willing to give up a trade asset in a rebuilding year to acquire him from the Tennessee Titans.

Brownlee primarily played on the outside during his time with the Titans and in college at Louisville, but his smaller frame and propensity for making plays as a tackler might help him translate to a role as a slot cornerback with some degree of effectiveness.

If Brownlee continues to make impact plays like this when he's on the field, there is no reason that he should be demoted in favor of Carter when he is healthy. These types of plays are exactly why it was so odd that the Titans chose to give up on him in their own rebuild.

The Jets will take quality defensive players anywhere they can get them after what has proven to be a ghoulish start on that end, and Brownlee has shown that he can be someone New York can lean on for a bigger role than initially expected.
