Interview was great - The old Rex in the last comment about not having accomplished what he has set out to do, would have guaranteed that they accomplish. He ended by saying, "we're going to give it our best shot." The locker room mess, i believe, is 100% fixable. Two or three people can have a large influence on an entire group of people. Remove or discipline those people, put your foot down, show that it won't be tolerated and most importantly, win some games and that all goes away.
As far as the locker room turmoil I think we're going to see a lot of the veteran guys like Revis, Mangold, Harris step up and take charge by keeping guys in line and warding off any potential nonsense that may erupt.
the locker room stuff was on the offensive side,which i think sparano is a disiplinarian,soit will be fixed. If we go back to the fundamentals of 09,10 we don't need a complex book of offensive plays. I think it wil be fine as lng as they focus on Oline and a pass rusher
I was just lurking but your completely UNIFORMED and misleading post has forced me to respond (sorry about the troll). The tuck rule was well known to those who know the rules. How come Jet fans conveniently forget that in that very same year, the Jets won a game because THEY had the tuck rule work in their favor. Its not a common call, but it happens around a half dozen times every year and STILL does. Just this year, the ref came out and said, once he got to see the replay, "it was an easy call". The only thing controversial about this play was the fact that few people knew the rule, including the announcers. Stop trying to make it seem is was an NFL conspiracy. You only make yourself look like another delusional, whining Jet fan. BTW- you are right about the Tyree catch. Samuel dropped the pick, Harrison didn't strip the ball, Green couldn't hold on to Eli, the refs didn't call in the grasp, etc, etc. There were so many things that had to go right for the Giants on that last drive.....and they did. THAT's what makes that game so painful for Pats fans. It would have been a lot easier to accept if they had simple beaten the Pats by 3 TDs. Yo be THAT close to something historic and have so many things go wrong on one drive. OUCH! (there, I hope I have made you all feel better now. :wink: ) I'd love to talk about THIS superbowl, and see how you guys see it, but I'll wait until someone here starts an appropriate thread, so I can contribute
Sure I went to all those terrific games in 68 when we won the AFLE division. Then I went to the Oak/NYJ PO game which IMHO was the best game I ever saw. Then I watched SB3 & enjoyed them whipping the Balt Colts. Then I went to New Haven to see the 1st ever NYGs/NYJ game & again enjoyed myself as they whipped the NYGs. After that it has been a very, very, very long steep decline that continues from 69 till this date BTW why do U not take a shot as answering such a simple question which Do U think RR brought respect & pride or shame & degradation to the NYJs this past season:sad:
I think we need to bring LT back just to help keep the locker together. It also sucks that Holmes cant be mature, this guy is a veteran, Super Bowl MVP and he acts like highschool player.
Good for Rex. Let's remember he's 32-22 as Jets coach and this is his first head coaching job. He knows football and he knows the NFL. So we went 8-8 instead of the AFC Championship Game or the Super Bowl, boo hoo. I'm glad he's raised the bar to what the real goal should be, I believe we will get there with him and with Sanchez. Everyone wants to kick us while we're down right now. Not much we can do about the Giants getting there on a Hail Mary and a dropped punt, it was only a matter of time before New England got back there with Brady and Belichick. It sucks but it's no more a reflection on Rex and the Jets than if it were Baltimore and San Francisco there, it just gives the haters a couple more things to say about us for a couple more weeks, like that tool Serby and that shit article he put in the Post today. Real Jet fans will weather this and we will come back with our coach and our QB who have given us a lot of hope in their first few years. Maybe over the long haul what happened this year will help them, time will tell. In the meantime the whiners on here can gripe from now until summer, have at it, it's not going to help a goddamn fucking thing.
Honestly,i think Rex was talking way too much. But i also like the confidence he has in what he has created and like to think that it rubs off on his players. Santanio Holmes is the root of the locker room issues because he is a selfish piece of shit. I dislike the guy. But i do have the faith that after 2 afccgs,and one not so great year,that could have gone either way had be beat denver etc,this regime will fix it. If not next year,then we can start talking of big changes. But not now.
Something I wonder about myself. All these Jets that are supposed to step up as leaders next season were on the roster when this locker room fell apart. I'm expecting a high level of play from Revis, Mangold, Harris but not expecting them to hold a locker room together. == Instead, I'm hoping the big difference next season (for chemistry) is the OC hired. No matter what is the record, Dolphins played hard & they stuck together. Marshall is a WR that's viewed as a problems so that gives our new OC some experience that will hopefully apply to Jet's problems w/ Holmes.
Funny U sound like someone with reading comprehension issues. Let me ask *U* a question : Do you know what Sarcasm is? Holy jeebus, man....CAN'T YOU FUCKING TELL I WAS BEING SARCASTIC???? Where in this post was I stating that I bought his crap : I mean the is there for your benefit, you know? It means I was being SARCASTIC. good lord....
Why do you spend time trolling here? Wy not go a little north and let the Bills know that the NFL season is longer than 5 games
Your calling me uniformed about this play shows how uniformed you really are Go back and check out all the info available on this call. You'll see I'm correct about the circumstances. The official who made the call said the QB(Brady's) arm was moving forward, (which it clearly was not), so therefore it was not a fumble. This ultimately evolved into an explanation using the Tuck rule. IIRC, that came about after the game. I recall the official making the quote you cited. I always thought that was an after-the-fact rationalization. Also, the Tuck rule should not have been applied to negate the fumble. Brady had clearly brought the ball back to the tuck position, IMO anyway, and I know I wasn't alone. Are you saying my interpretation of one of the most controversial plays in NFL history is not shared by countless others??? As for the Tuck rule being a common call, since you appear to be new to football, let me inform you that the Tuck rule was instituted in 1999, probably before you started following the Patriots, and for many people, Brady's play was their first exposure to the rule. IIRC , this was either the first or second time the rule was ever invoked and again, I only believe it was cited after the game was over. As for it being called more frequently since then, you are correct. In fact it was called to the Jets benefit this year. Once the Brady call was so famously established, anything even remotely resembling the circumstances of the Brady play has to be called. As a Jets fan, maybe I am upset with the way the season turned out and I am complaining (or "whining", as you say) That's what this message board is for. You can call me a whiner, but at least I'm not trolling on a Patriots board, and I can guarantee you at the price of everything I own, when the Jets make the SB, I will not be posting on a Pats board one week before the game. As for me being delusional or uninformed, no way buddy. Check out the facts.
Actually "this whole locker room mess" isn't overblown and no, it doesn't happen "to every team". You can bet it sure doesn't happen on teams like the Pats or Giants. It hasn't happened on the Bills since 2005 when Eric Moulds went ballistic on the sidelines, and I don't think it's been an issue in Miami in years. It didn't happen on the Jets, either, under Testaverde, Pennington or Favre. The problem with the Jets is that they have players who like to win and a QB whom much of the team see as the main impediment to winning and whom they feel the CS is "coddling". They were okay with Sanchez's failings as a rookie and as a sophomore because the team was winning despite his inconsistent play. However, Sanchez hit a wall about midway through his sophomore season, and has failed to step up this year at all. Yeah, statistically he's improved, but his QB skills are still stuck back in "rookie/sophomore" mode. The traditional solution to solving "locker room messes" is to send the offending player packing. When it's numerous veteran players who are disgruntled, that's not possible. It's highly unlikely the Jets are going to send Sanchez packing, so the only way to "solve" the locker room issues with the Jets is for Sanchez to miraculously learn to be a better QB over the course of the off-season. After 50+ starts, the chances of that are slim and none.
Did you see the conference where Rex said Schotty would be here next year? The guy couldn't have sounded more finicky and cornered when asked about Schotty. As a matter of fact, when asked the last time all he said was something along the lines of, "He has a contract here with the jets as the OC." He never said Schotty and I will be together a long time or anything to that tune. C'mmon guys, you are really pulling at straws here. There is enough to break down and worry about without trying to pretend that you are on the same wavelength as the front office and the HC for this franchise.
