Who's got something? I do. What is it? Babaganoosh!!!! I wanna dip my balls in it!!!!! The best was the Last Supper Episode.... I freaking love The State. One of the few things MTV got right post 1992. Then of course they canceled it.
I dont care what he says about knowing Nolan and LeBeau. He also knows his brother who happens to be the "D" coordinator for the team that stomped a mudhole in the Pats ass and look where that got him.
They're good but the Kids in the Hall have them beat. No, I'm not Canadian, but I'm a Canadian sympathizer. Back on topic: regardless of what they call the meeting, it is nice to see Rex take a more direct role with the Offense. Maybe he can tell Sanchez something like "remember in the pre-season when you called the plays and led the team to a TD with ease? Do more of that."
If Ryan says it is no big deal, and is trying to downplay it.... why the hell tell the media? This guy talks to the media too much IMO. Like he needs a sound bite every couple of days. Is it a good idea? Maybe. Do the fans need to know about it? Not really. He's too much like his old man. He'll have his highs, and is a superb defensive mind, but if the Jets don't have major success this year or next, his act is gonna wear badly. His old man has showed the a great DC doesn't always guarantee a great HC.
I really think that Rex is coming along and learning to pick his spots where he steps in and takes a bit more of a hands on role. I mean let's face it: Schotty just can't get it together. And Rex can position these lunches as defence previews as much as he wants, he's doing what he knows he can't trust Schotty to do.
CJ you hit the nail on the head, I was thinking this for the past couple of weeks about him and his father. I don't know how many guy's here are old enough that actually saw his father coach, but it was the same thing in his press conferences, he was an outstanding DC one of the best in the the history of the NFL, but his transition to HC was pretty average. Personally if Rex want's to succeed for the long term he needs to appoint BC as his next OC, he needs someone with years of experience and success at the college level and the NFL, not a 3 year QB coach who was made OC for a previous regime. BC has forgotten more football than BS has seen in his 7 years in the NFL.
As my friend and I sunk lower and lower in our stools as we watch the Pats-Jets game (while being served by a Pats fan bartender) we had that very conversation. Just promote Callahan and be done with it. It's amazing to me he hasn't been poached by someone else by now. Mind you, maybe this is another case of where the back-up QB (or in this case coach) is the most popular guy in a given city.
Hey if Chan Gailey can coach in the NFL again, it will be just a matter of time before BC is tapped for a HC job. Personally I think some guy's make great coordinators and not great HC, which I think BC falls in the category of great coordinator. That's why I don't want to see him gone from this staff.
Even the ever secretive Pats had it known that BB and Brady sat down privately to look at film. It's only a big deal because it is made into a big deal by outside parties who feel the need to infer a ton of irrelevant crap from a few meetings between a QB and his head coach.
I cant believe some people are turning this into a schotty bashing session. Led by Hobbes and his never-ending cry for Slants on every play. By the way Hobbes, with Sanchez's accuracy, I would be avoiding slants as much as possible but back to the point. The fat asshole Ryan, has finally desided to do his job I guess. Hes the defensive "genius" from what I understand. You would think, he would find some time in between entertaining some of you simpler folk with his retard media tag lines and provide Nacho with his defensive genius. Why the fuck would he NOT be doing this from teh beginning of the season? "Hey Mark, Im a genius, this is what this defense wants to do against you". This is the firs time hes done this all year????????/ Are you fucking serious?????????? And you guys want to somehow blame Schotty for this or interpret it as Rex finally losing confidence in him? Ummmmm, no.
Instead of going nuts over this on both sides, let's review the facts. These aren't just pure film sessions as if this is the first time Ryan will ever go over film with Sanchez. That's been done since they've both been here. These lunch dates are for them to discuss other things besides football, but the focus will be on Nolan's tendencies and LaBeau's tendencies. This shouldn't be blown out of proportion. This is a good move from Ryan to discuss two DCs he knows very well from either working with them or playing against them. Its Coordinator specific, and Ryan knows how much these two games mean, so he's doing that much more work. The media takes this and blows it up because this is the New York market. Journalism is dead.
It could just be poor editing, and they put "lunch dates" in quotes because it's a pop culture term to describe the meetings. /smartass
He's already had more playoff success than his old man with a rookie QB who was pretty raw in the experience department and still needs a lot more experience. His shtick won't get old because its who he is. Its just Rex. If he goes 6-10 one season, which means he's on his 2nd string QB and his defense has a few injuries, he'll still talk and he'll be totally honest about what's going on. He'll be asked about if a SB is still the goal, and he'll say yes, but the team will have a big battle ahead of them etc. His old man never had a GM like Mike Tannenbaum or a scouting staff like the Jets have. He's better than Buddy Ryan.
I don't think he called a press conference to tell the media. The media loves to get sound bytes from Rex, and so he gets a ton of questions. He'd get a ton of questions anyway because he's an NFL Head Coach in the biggest city/media center in the country. But he seems to be more open and honest with his answers, instead of just giving the usual BS answers many coaches give. But it's not that he necessarily goes out of this way to report stuff like this.
:rofl2: I'm sorry but maybe I should have spent more time writing out my post, instead of just generalizing certain things about BS. My post was intended to signify that if Rex had an OC that had as many years in the NFL as he did, maybe he would not have to worry about sitting down with Sanchez and explaining to him what they were trying to do against him. I'm sure BC could bring the same thing to the table that Rex could since he coached against some of the great defenses that Rex was part of and actually beat them. I doubt BS brings that kind of experience to the table, even the most zealous BS defender cannot dispute that point. I was not knocking him just stating a fact about the thread which had to do with Rex sitting down with Mark for lunch and providing insight about what he might see the next couple of weeks.
Yeah.. just an observation. But don't you think the HC needs to not put the weight of the world on his team by making a regular season game so important? That leads to huge emotional letdowns if things don't work out, when the truth is a win this week and a Pats loss puts them right back with them. After the way he built that game up, who's gonna buy it when he says no biggie, lets move on to the next game. How much of a hangover does that leave going into the Phins game?
I think the big difference is that Gailey at least had some success at G Tech. Callahan was a miserable failure at Nebraska. BTW Schotty held the clip board at Florida, any chance we can sucker the Gators into taking an "NFL Caliber" HC off our hands?
Gee Missus Schotty, so....your point is Sanchez is not very accurate, so we should stick to long developing pass plays....down the field????
He had 2 winning seasons out of 4 and in both of those seasons went to bowl games which he went 1-1 , the one winning bowl he beat a favored Michigan team, I would not call that a complete failure. His time in the NFL has been successful however, I think if he had been given the freedom by Al Davis to get rid of some of the older players on the Raiders after their 4-12 year and restock with younger players the Raiders would have been a force to reckon with for quite some time. Al however chose to listen to his geriatric team, fired BC and the rest is history with them.
