And Sanchez excels with a power running game to cater to his strengths which are built around running the ball then hitting them with the playaction/rollouts . But if your tight ends cant block that hurts the run game, which hurts Sanchez. Tight ends are vital to the ground game. And the ground game is vital to Sanchez.
this is a very reasonable and logical explanation i also think we are going to se alot of vlad or howard as the 2nd t.e.really give some beef up front and help sell the play action.tackle elgible will get teams to bring that safety up and suck the lbs in on the snap.get keller working the seam behind them and if hill can beat 1 on 1 coverage and the potential for "chunk yardage" is there.this will open up the run game when they drop the safety back after gettng burned. we are going to be o.k. boys still got a month to go
Very, very true, but that's why everybody on this board was clamoring for a -blocking TE to be signed. Instead we got the Aussie. This isn't something you can persecute Keller about. We knew coming into every season that he can't block.
Post 26 above. Just go back and forth between stretching the field and running draws and traps. Make the defense cover the whole field. Make them pay for rushing the passer. Roll Sanchez away from the pressure. Have a lot of the throws be sprintouts to the side and then a deep ball up that side. The personnel is just not there to run a WCO or a spread or P-E. The personnel isn't there to run any type of modern NFL offense. All of those offenses require either superior QB play or good protection and most of them require a solid set of NFL WR's and TE's to execute. The Jets have none of that right now. They're not even going to be any good at grounding and pounding at this point because they have no mainstay back and none of the backups look ready to step up and take a couple of hundred carries as option B. This offense right now is as bad as any Jet's offense since 1995 or the typical Browns offense of recent years.
They had one offensive coordinator for 6 years running. With that guy they had 4 QB's who started half a season or more. They had 4 different guys lead the team in rushing yards. They had 4 different guys lead the team in receiving yards. They had 4 different starting LG's. They had 3 different starting RT's. They had 3 guys who started the entire 6 years, Mangold, D'Brick and Moore. I know the NFL is for Not For Long but the Jets inability to build talent on the offensive side is ridiculous.
meh...two things about it... I'd say that Sparano is going to throw more early (like he tried to do with Tebow in) than he showed last night. I think he'll dodge that with Sanchez early in games. (It's a 3 wideout league..he's got to see that) And great reference. If you can dodge a wrench....
Just throwing this out there... yeah, I do think we need another TE, a blocking TE preferably... Now that we run an Erhardt offense, we may be looking at TEs cut other teams using the same offensive language... New England, Giants, New Orleans, Pittsburg, Kansas City to name a few. New England is carrying 7 TEs right now. Pitts has 6. Giants have 7. KC and NO have 5. That could be as many as 10 TEs available before the season starts. Each should have some grasp of the offenses language. Could be insteresting if our guys don't step up.
Good thought. Do you know of any experienced blocking te's in that group of potential cuts? I'm glad someone got it. :up:
Not really a stat I can look up or a general area of public knowledge outside of the diehard fans of a particular team... but there are some big bodies there. And with perhaps 10 to choose from at least there is hope.
It's only one preseason game but based on past experience i think you guys are in trouble. Sparano is VERY, VERY conservative. He likes a low scoring, slug it out offense. Under him the Dolphins had almost no big plays. They ranked near the bottom in big play yardage each year. Perfect example is the 2010 game against the Colts. The Dolphins held the ball for 45 minutes grinding the ball out. Peyton Manning outscored them in 15 minutes of possession. The worst past is when something doesn't work Sparano is very slow to adjust. He's slow to change game plans, slow to pull or jettison players who aren't performing. Sparano prizes loyalty above all else. Including talent or performance. He was always bringing retreads from Dallas in and even when they didn't work out he was very loathe to part with them. Once Sparano has an idea he will not give it up easily. So unless Rex can keep him from getting set in his ways you guys are in for a long season.
Excellent .... rome wasn't built in a day, but the fuckin builders just gave the guys with whips something to bitch about. Rex, Pett, Sporano and the gang are going to pick apart every little piece of the game and coach some shit up. The walls will start going up tomorrow at camp at a better clip than a week ago. I get it Jets fans ... we have been abused, wah, we have been picked on, wah ... etc , etc . etc. I maintain we will be just fine ... might be tough sledding in the first few ... but we will prevail ... then pull it together and really start kickin ass. Rex and Tanny have 125% of my support .... three straight non losing seasons ... two of the deepest playoff drives in recent history (much respect to Vinny & the boys in 98) but I Maintain that this might have been my favorite three year stretch as a Jets fan. Its only gonna get better.
You bring up a good point. The lack of stability. Injuries had a part. A major part has been self-inflicted. They have created a great deal of instability for themselves. Brett Favre. The ditching and the going back to the ground and pound. Tebow. Still think they need a long-term plan.:beer:
I think once holmes is healthy it could work as long as there is balance. 8 men in the box theoretically means things can open up down the field
You have to be able to run well to get 8 men up in the box. That Jets team hasn't really existed since 2009 although 2010 showed flashes.
