It is the way that it has materialized that has surprised me. You lose veteran leadership (Richardson, Taylor, Jenkins, Pryce, Ellis) and rely on talented but inconsistent players to make up for them. That's not a guarantee. I thought our O-line would gel though, and I thought Sanchez was better. Those are such huge letdowns, I feel bad for our receivers. These guys fly to California in the summer to work with Mark and it doesn't seem to matter. The system the Jets want to run can work, but without some solid draft picks and a couple free agents, it will not help the Jets become a championship contender. And at this point, I have a hard time seeing how Mark gets a second contract with this team. I've wondered all season if I'd be proven wrong about my suspicion that Sanchez will be gone in a couple years, but the last few weeks have made me really believe he'll have run his course. If there is one thing I am more disappointed about, it is the discrepancy between the talent on our roster and the product on the field. It's not as bad as Philly, but close. Some teams do more with less, we manage to do less with more.
It has nothing to do with leadership. It has to do with talent. We have less than last year. It shows.
Has he given us a reason not to? I'm still hopeful but he's really having me question his ability to lead this team.
This is not a letdown season. This is the expected result once the Jets decided to start the season with a career backup at RT.
I only heard Keller and he supports Sanchez. Sanchez puts this loss on him and him alone. Im not giving up on him. I want Shotty out. Who right now could call the offense if we cut ties right now.
Sanchez basically looks totally lost in Schotty's system at this point. They have no connection at all. The connection they had last year was based largely on Sanchez, Braylon Edwards and Santonio Holmes pulling some crazy last minute drives out of their asses when the game should have gone over. I guess we'll just wait and see whether the Jets want to go into full rebuild mode by getting another QB up to speed in a system that plainly doesn't work very well or whether they want to do what every other team on the planet in their situation would do and fire the offensive coordinator who hasn't proved his system works in 6 years of trying now. I just keep looking at what Schotty has actually done with the Jets and I can't believe he has a job with them. I wish my boss paid me to fuck up royally over a period of years like this.
Jericho Cotchery and Braylon Edwards worked out on the West Coast. The Jets and Mike Tannenbaum got rid of both of them.
Yes it does show. I disagree We miss Braylon more than Crotchery. I want Schotty gone before Nacho. I want to see Sancheese in another system before I call for his head.
