The last 2 weeks have really destroyed my confidence in this guy - I tolerated the big mouth and shenanigans because it looked like he knew what he was doing and it seemed the players responded to him. The team has not responded recently, and he seems like someone that has no answers. He better get it together, and quick.
Fracture in the team in 3..2..1 If Rex isn't careful, the defense will start pointing fingers at the underperfoming Offense and in particular, our emotionally unstable, extremely young, only started 16 games in college, QB.
I just rewatched the post-game presser. Rex looks like he's had all the life sucked out of him. First thing first, the dude's got to brush this off and pull himself together.
Just like you only tolerated Mangini's tight lipped, close to the vest, moribund routine when he won right?
he cant be hanging this one on the D. they were great yesterday. its our pitiful offense. i really hope big cat was frustrated just like rex was and uses this as motivation instead of an excuse to shut it down and not give a fuck.
I watched some of the post game presser and what he said was something along the lines of "nobody played well today". He didn't single out the offense or defense.
You do realize that Rex's defense held them to a total of 30 passing yards and and a combined total of 131 yards. They gained ONE yard in the 4th quarter. I know Rex is responsible for the offense being the HC but he's a defensive HC, and relies heavily on his OC. All this would be a non-issue if Holmes had caught that ball, or any number of plays went a different way. Despite all the injuries to this defense we're still top 5 in all the important areas, and top 10 in some others.
It's really starting to look like Rex just can't communicate with the offense, so he leaves it all to Schotty, which is... well, bad.
When you win its process. When you lose, its schtick. And Ryan's schtick is becoming tiresome, unless he can show that it makes a difference.
Yeah, that was an eye opener. I wonder how many here did not see that. It was a totally different Ryan, even different from after the Pats loss. He didn't even try to answer what is wrong. I think he understands with this O he's between/among a number of unpalatable situations that don't fit together. OL is not playing near last year's level, running game is inconsistent, yet the Jets cannot become a pass oriented O because of MS's lack of experience and consistency. It doesn't add up, and I think Ryan is beginning to not only understand that, but has no answers as to what to do differently.
That would be nice, he needs a pickMeUp. He does look like a defeated man, which makes me sad, I miss his charming smile. LOL
That's fine, but this team is on the verge of a major collapse, and the buck stops with him. That's the responsibility of the HC position.
Rex is a pretty honest guy, he'll admit when he made a mistake. I'm sure when he has a chance to go back, look at the film and take it all in he'll apologize to his defense for putting the blame on them.
This is the kind of thing that leads to issues between the offensive players and defensive players. I think Rex was just trying take some pressure off Sanchez and the "O" and not lay it all on the offense, but it played wrong in the lockerroom. Admitting that he considered benching Sanchez to the world isn't gonna do anything for Sanchez' confidence either. Rex really needs to learn to keep some stuff in-house IMO.
Yeah but we have to pick our poison, a offensive minded HC, defensive minded HC, or a shitty HC. He's still very young into his HC career, he rallied the troops last year, I'm sure he can do it again. I hate to sound like a broken record but BB did a decent job at Cleveland, had a overall record of 36-44. Things were looking up, playoffs in 94 than he was pretty much forced to resign. How much regret do you think they have? Considering what he built eventually went on to win a SB. Rex is a great defensive mind, I agree he needs to take a bigger role in the offensive game plan because what they're doing now just isn't working.
I know what you are saying will not be taken well by others, and I do not agree with all you are saying and implying. But I think the fair point about what you are saying is this - it's all well to like Ryan as the person we think he is, and (I think speaking for many) also would like to think that is the kind of boss if we had, we would feel best about working for and with, getting results while having fun doing so. But there's that nagging doubt part, that you really can't succeed without pain and discipline. And more to the point, the real point, is that ultimately Ryan is here not to make us laugh, or make me wonder how come my boss is not more like him, or any of that. Ultimately he is here to win, and whether his approach works will be shown in results, not how much we think we like him. He's not really similar to Pete Carroll, but remember how Pete used to have pick up basketball games, and then have pizza served? He wanted to be seen as one of the guys. Didn't work too well.
I know many question why he did that, but I can't criticize him for that. He'd have had to be a moron not to have considered benching MS. The key is he didn't. I saw MS answer a question about that, and he handled it just the right way. He pointed out that it made complete sense for Ryan to consider that, and in answering the question Ryan was just being honest. If I were MS, and Ryan had said he never considered changing him out, I would think Ryan lied to say that, and THAT would probably make me wonder than what Ryan did say. Just don't think it was that big a deal....
