Is to eliminate the offense constantly coming out flat. Schotty was notorious for this having the offense run the same lame plays that any real Jets fan can sit on his couch and tell you what is coming. Throw Schotty playbook out and instead concentrate on having the offense come out aggressive and put points on the score board. This will eliminate putting pressure on Sanchez and the offense to try and comebacks every week. I have no idea what Soprano's offensive philosophy is but I feel better knowing Schotty will not be calling plays. Lets him go and ruin Bradford now.
The Jets really did have a seemingly astronomical streak of games without a first quarter offensive TD. I know it ended, but how something like that lasted as long as it did is trivial. Wonder how much was Shotty, how much was Sanchez as a slow starter, or a combination thereof? Hopefully it was all Shotty's dumb ass.
IMO, if Tony gets consistent play out of our O-line, which I expect, the offense and Sanchez will be fine.
I thought his job was to run his crew and keep them earning while fighting off attempts by New York to muscle into his territory all while raising his kids, dealing with his wife and crazy uncle.
I think his most important job is to make our O physical. Weve been old, weak slow, and lost that physicalness. I wanna see big tes, jumbo sets all the time, and some nitty gritty football that looks like its from a different era
IMO, its all on him to make the Ducasse pick work. Sadly, I see us going all in with Ducasse/Wayne Hunter and hoping the one can prove capable. If he can make Ducasse into a capable starter, then that would be awesome.
IMO his most important job is to keep Sanchez standing upright and comfortable in the pocket. Everything will fall into place after that.
Sparano showed up in Miami, took the personnel available to him and provided to him, including a Chad Pennington who was in worse condition that the one the Jets had playing for them, and designed/instituted an offense that took the league by storm. Yes, it was an antiquated single wing, something that most NFL defensive coordinators, Bill Belichick included, would have laughed at. But he showed that he was able and willing to put the talent available to him in position to succeed. He even pulled the pants down on a ferocious 2009 top overall Rex Ryan defense. Brian Schottenheimer spent the past 6 years proving that his system doesn't work without the perfect personnel, which he never really attained, so he allowed a mishmosh of strange elements into the system that wasn't really instituted until the 2011 failure season, after he apparently convinced Rex to allow him to stray from the GnP playbook to run his Airhead Schottysucks offense. I don't have the highest hopes for Sparano, but I have higher hopes than I did for what Schotty was diddling around with.
This sums up my feelings. I'm hoping for the best obviously. I just can't (or don't want to) envision an offense as piss poor as Shotty's.
The best thing about having 'Soprano' as our OC is if Tone fucks up again Tone will just 'disappear'.
most important thing -- don't settle for 3 points all the time and pump your fist like you won a damn prize. Touchdowns man Touchdowns!!
Most important thing: fix Sanchez's mechanics and make sure he mskes good decisions. There are reasons why Sanchez shows flashes. He has all the tools he just needs to get his mechanics down so his throws are more consistent. Then he has to get back to protecting the ball like he did in 2010 and we should be set for takeoff.
The key is going beyond the bare minimum with the passing game. It seems that's what Schotty's been all about for the past several years. He's planning to do 20 yard pass attempts rather than just 10. Establishing the run hardcore, with a legit deep threat, and fixed RT = much more success in 2012. I can't count the amount of times last year guys were running routes short of the marker on 3rd. I'm not a big fan of that.
Sparano's most important job is getting on the same page with Rex on how the offense should look and then not letting daylight come between them. I've never heard of a head coach/offensive coordinator relationship before where the head coach had to make public pronouncements about where the offense was headed and then watch as it went somewhere else after a game or two's respite.
