This is exactly the kind of shit that makes us a good team...playing towards our players strengths. Especially when the CS listens to a 2nd year QB and is willing to trust him to make the right decisions to win. Too many coaches still force things on players (for e.g. the Redskins playing a 3-4...now look how bad they are). There is no doubt that this team has the talent to win, but its the coaches fault if they aren't using 100% of that talent. With that said, get ready to see more creative stuff happen later in the season...
Perhaps. But I don't think I was at "near crisis" mode thinking that Week 1 offense was going to be our offense for the rest of the year. I was pretty confident Rex would get the offense fixed quicker than we did last year for fear of having the D carry this team into the Playoffs again.
That quote is amazing. 2 interceptions in the last 9 games? ...and one of them was at the end of the AFC Championship Game when he had to force it. So pretty much interception turnover in the last 9 games. People seem to still think of Sanchez as the 20 interception rookie. He will still have his bad games, but turnover-prone Mark Sanchez is far behind us.
This article told me Sanchez told Schotty to stop being Cutesy. ... So what I believed happened was confirmed. Thanks Cimini, and thank Revis Christ for Mark Sanchez.
If they had kicked a field goal or punted on first down every time they got the ball they would have had a chance at 12 points. With the Offense actually trying to move the ball they only gave themselves a chance for 9 points.
It's stuff like this that drives me crazy. The offensive coordinator is supposed to be the grownup in the room, but Schotty is more like the kid with way too many tinkertoys and it takes everybody else telling him to just stop fiddling around and make something out of them for him to get that having a lot of tinkertoys is really cool, but making something out of them that actually works is much better. That this has to be done over and over again for him to get it suggests that for all his tinkertoy expertise he's part of the problem and not the solution.
If there was an " I told you so" moment in the history of this forum this would be it, but I have too much respect for my fellow posters to say something of the sort, it is pretty interesting that the problem had been BS and his complicated scheme and a rookie QB asked him to cut it out because it was getting in the way of his reading the defense, awesome just awesome.
