As we all know too well, Woody Johnson can't open his mouth without embarrassing himself. Well, he outdid himself yesterday when he told the media, "You know, thinking is overrated." Maybe the Jets could have this posted over all the entrances at One Jets Drive. If this guy didn't have his trust fund, he'd be living under a bridge somewhere. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/...-davante-adams-trade-quotes-talladega-nights/
This is hilarious. Charitably - I could see how maybe he meant that he's been too slow to pull the trigger on coaching changes in the past. Uncharitably - This is indicative of Woody's complete inability to think in a nuanced way. The most recent and egregious example of this being us not improving at HC+OC after last season, using the Rodgers injury as a scapegoat.
I mean, if you're doing something that needs momentary reaction like driving for NASCAR or playing football then instincts are great. If you are planning for the future success of a multi-billion dollar sports franchise, then forethought is kind of necessary. Just Woody continuing to be so inadequate that it's comical.
Fuck Woody Johnson. He's an awful owner and an awful human being. Firing Saleh in a knee jerk reaction proves his incompetency, that should have been Joe Douglas' decision. They should have taken Hackett off play calling, yes, but firing Saleh 5 games in definitely shows that thinking is not Woody's strong suit. Ulbrich needs to focus on the defense and stopping the run, not running the whole team.
Firing Saleh was a knee-jerk reaction? We lost 2 out of every 3 games during his 3+ year tenure, and he had a decently talented roster for much of it. Certainly much better talent than Gase had to work with. I agree Woody is an idiot but firing Saleh was absolutely the right move. Woody's mistake was actually not firing him and Hackett after last season.
You can't stop the primordial instincts of a BAD MOFO! Woody's about to wrestle the NFL to the ground like a demon cobra.... Thinking is definitely NOT necessary when you drip mad swag....
"Thinking is overrated". Woody just revealed his superpower. He's not only clueless, he's unthinking. I guess when you're born on 3rd base and score you can think "Hey this game ain't hard!". There should be absolutely no doubt in anyone's mind why this team has sucked under his ownership. If I had any photoshopping skill I'd rework the old Alfred E. Neuman picture with "What, me worry?" to show Woody's face and his now iconic quote, "Thinking is overrated" on it. Classic!
I’m sure he tells all his players thinking is overrated to, that’s why they keep committing stupid ass penalties and don’t contain Josh Allen on the last play of the freakin game and come here and forget how to play football
If Ulbrich only pays attention to the defense and nobody is the HC, we will be back to where we were with Saleh.
