I agree. Throw the Buffalo game out, we were ahead when he came in, second half, all he had to do was not turn it over, Rex gave him no slack. This is his own game, a week with the 1s to prepare, 0-0 start, different thing. Again it helps we're playing a bad team in the sunshine of Florida. Hopefully four years in this offense and everything else can net us one win vs a bad team, that's not too much to ask. If he leaves he can at least do this for the Jets before he goes, maybe we'll remember him as a guy who stepped in for a game and helped us on a miraculous run to the playoffs. Or the dummy who ended our season.
This is Kellen's chance and I will support him. He better hold onto the ball better than he did Thursday night.
Bullshit. Those sacks occurred in less than 5 seconds, which puts it on the fucking oline, not the QB.....and I say that having been an OG my whole "career." A fumble is a fumble. Not much to say about that one. The snaps are probably his fault....probably backing out too soon, but that can also just be a result of not getting enough reps with the #1's too. Thats just QB/C timing. If he displays all those things this week, after a week of reps with the #1's, then I'll shut up. Until then......the guy sees the field, quite unexpectedly, once in 2 years and your suprised that he looked bad ? C'mon man !
He wasn't talking about the gameplan. He was talking about his Friday night plans with some friend of his with the same name as our starting RB. Why he posted that here I'm not sure :lol:
Again, this is more about what's so wrong with Sanchez that he can't start. If you guys are upset now, think how you're going to be if Clemens has to start against New England. Ryan is not the kind of guy who would pull Sanchez as a precaution or to rest him up at this critical point in the season ... he as much as said that the other day. Every game is a must win now and he knows it. So the really huge elephant in the ointment right now is, what is REALLY wrong with Sanchez' knee? I expect the beat reporters are all over this story like a dog on a bone and digging for information all over the place. We're going to be hearing a lot more about Sanchez' injury in the next few days. Something is dreadfully wrong, I suspect.
Sanchez wasn't exactly setting the world on fire. His passer rating is 29th and 3 guys below him (Delhomme, Russell, Collins) aren't starting anymore. KC gets a full week of practice. We'll be fine as long as the D and OLine step up like they have the past two weeks.
If the problems were weak or off-timed throws, I would chalk it up to rust. But the fumbles, the hand-offs, taking a sack because he is tripping over his own two feet, those are on him being a bad athlete and a bad football player.
I meant, we should see Ainge on Sunday. There's no way Clemens plays this whole game. I expect a lot of confused, terrified, bewildered looks - some solid over and under throws - and him lining up behind Faneca and Dbrick at least once (each).
fuck it, CKNY6.....some people will never understand. People who actually watch the games and pay attention to Training Camp know what Clemens is about.
I disagree. I think Rex knows he's going up against a 1-10 team. He knows his team has both a top 2 defense and running game. He knows he has a good Atlanta team coming up, followed by two great teams in Indy and the Bengals. Rex isn't dumb. If the doctors tell him Mark will absolutely benefit from a week off, no matter if he could play at 75% or not this Sunday, he's starting Clemens. There's not necessarily a correlation between the fact that Clemens is in and any sort of horrible injury news for Mark Sanchez. More likely (and more optimistically) Sanchez is not at 100%, and Rex knows he's gonna need him at 100% if he intends to make the playoffs. So start Clemens and make sure Mark gets to 100%. This is hopefully the reason.
what i am interested to see is how the coaching staff will respond if clemens is atrocious as he was last week outside of that one pass to cotchery. i believe he dropped back 5 times, the other results were incompletion, 2 sacks, and 1... fall? if every 4 out of 5 passes continue to have those results, even if we only pass 15 times, there has to be a point when ainge or o'connell will come in. we have 4 quarterbacks on the roster, why not use them if our backup proves he is not a capable backup? that being said and to put things in perspective : the giants beat dallas with eli completing 11 passes last week, and romo completing 41. and the giants defense is not the jets defense, and tampa is certainly not dallas. this game can certainly be won without sanchez, who is not a lock to even have a decent game at this point in his career anyway, so i agree with the decision not to take any risks.
You rarely get 5 seconds to throw the ball in the NFL. Clemens has zero pocket awareness and when he tried to move around he fucking tripped over himself. I'm just hoping he doesn't look like a fucking klutz on Sunday.
This is what happens when you just read the stat line. Outside of 3 horrible games he's been doing well. FAR better than anything we've seen out of Clemens.
Absolutely. Only 8 picks against his two TD passes in the last 3 games (more picks than being sacked...wow).
