Not according to Rex and Co. The Wildcat is alive and well and living in Jersey. Ground and Pound all game long. Perhaps we should go to the single wing too. That's sure to surprise a few folks..
No. I am not scared about how Sanchez will react. Sanchez's reaction is Sanchez's responsibility. Sanchez has a 5 yr 58.25M contract. His feelings are well down the list of my concerns.
I don't think the problem is how Sanchez will react. The problem will be Sanchez making a mistake and the whole media/fans etc. lobbying to start Tebow. This would be fine but we all know Tebow so far hasn't shown the ability to be a starting QB. We are then in the QB by committee mode and that ends in whole FO and staffs being fired.
I don't think it has started yet. I think the Jets usually post phone conferences online, but I'm not sure? 2m Lisa Zimmerman @LisaZimmerman Reply Retweet Favorite · Open "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the operator. Your conference call is scheduled to begin momentarily. Thank you for your patience."
I think its media only. Gonna have to rely on twitter for updates. I'll try to post them as they come. I would recommend having Cimini, Mehta, and Zimmermans twitters up to get updates Steve Politi @StevePoliti Reply Retweet Favorite · Open If the Jets don't start this call by 10:45 I'm tweeting the number to the world. Fair? Anyone?
If you are going to operate out of fear that irrational idiots will be upset, thats up to you, but thats not a sound basis for making football decisions. If you are going to be afraid to make decisions to improve your football team then you should be fired.
Going to keep on updating this post as my twitter feed updates: According to jenny vrentas and mehta twitter, Tanny was aware of the 5.1 salary but disagreed on amount to pay. Sanchez is our starter. Tim tebow will be a backup and used in other packages. Spoke to both Sanchez and Tebow so roles are clear. "Tim is our back-up QB" and used in packages Rex always believed in wilcat packages, feels they are difficult to defend against. tim will be used in wildcat packages along with others. its exciting to know we solidified position (QB) Tanny very clear they have changed who their #2 qb is. New York Jets @nyjets Reply Retweet Favorite · Open Mr. T. on Mark Sanchez - Every quarterback in the NFL has a backup and we just changed who it is. Rich Cimini @RichCimini Reply Retweet Favorite · Open Tanny said they had disagreement with Denver on how to handle advance payment. Said it wasn't a case of Jets not reading contract. #jets
Basically what I meant to say in bold. I am scared for Sanchez's reaction on the field whether this will make him panic or stay focused and improve his game.
I'm still really hoping Tebow isn't even listed as a QB on the depth chart...that's the only way this works...Stanton needs to remain the #2 and McElroy the #3.
New post, sorry guys: Jenny Vrentas @JennyVrentas Reply Retweet Favorite · Open Tannenbaum said trade cleared through him, Rex and Woody, and Sparano was heavily involved. #nyj Manish Mehta @TheJetsStream Reply Retweet Favorite · Open Tannenbaum said that he was an "impatient spectator for most of the evening" after they hit the snag and Broncos considered their options Steve Politi @StevePoliti Reply Retweet Favorite · Open I haven't been counting, but I think Tannenbaum has said that Sanchez will be the starting quarterback about 97 times already.

Says Jets have become a "diverse, more dynamic offense." #nfl Jenny Vrentas @JennyVrentas Reply Retweet Favorite · Open Tannenbaum: "What we’ve become is a diverse or dynamic offense that’s going to make it more difficult for opposing defenses to defend." #nyj New York Jets @nyjets Close Mike T. on Tebow: "We have a vision for the player, we have a role for the player."
