I thought it interesting that on the jetsblog board, BGA quoted Moore as saying that it is Schotty and not Moore who call all the plays. And I quote: "it’s difficult to attribute all of the offensive success to Moore, especially when he himself said that it’s Schottenheimer’s offense, he calls the plays and Moore is just there from an advisory standpoint. Also, the increased reliance on the run has been a developing theme since throughout the season and they didn’t actually run many more screens than usual, they just broke a couple of particularly long ones to make it stand out more." And yes, that also speaks to the complaints that the Jets have only recently been running screens. http://www.thejetsblog.com/2011/12/15/bga-extra-chiefs-at-jets/#more-48631 I think we can put to rest the silly notion that Moore deserves all the credit for any positives in the offense.
Why would Moore lie to take credit away from himself? :breakdance: Grasping at straws here. Its like people want our offense to fail because they just hate Schotty so much.
"I’m just happy to have a job," Schottenheimer said, referencing the annual calls for him to be fired as the offense goes through ups and downs. Schotty even admits he is lucky he is still here.
How many times have the announcers said "I don't like that play call at all." Not just one announcer, at least two of them have said it.
I am starting to see Schotty as an equal part of the problem. It's him and Mark, and they make a terrible combo. Brian needs to be gone next year and Mark needs serious competition.
You're starting to see Schotty as an equal problem now? He's been the major problem since he got here.
Just waiting for ppl to go and blame the Giants loss on Mark too. When you throw 50+ times and 90% of the plays are for 5 yards or less, you have no chance to win. Every pass play was to the flats or a BS 5 yard route to the middle of the field. Worst O-Coordinator in football in my opinion. F U in advance to the people who love to rush to call rightfully angry fans overreactors. Theres not an offense or QB in this league that can be truly effective in this offense. If we completed every pass,we still might have lost. We NEVER go down field until it's too late. O yea... and that safety WAS NOT Mark Sanchez fault.
Sanchez didn't have a good game. The blocking didn't perform well. The receivers dropped a few crucial passes. That being said, how many times have we seen the Jets passing attack take the game over in the last three years? Really the passing for the Jets lately has always fed of the run. Why would we expect to see something different today? Conversely, how many times have we seen the Jets offense play relatively well when they are rushing the ball consistently for positive yardage? How many times have we seen Sanchez play well when the offense is in a running mode and he throws in the occasional pass. Again, today we see the Jets go against things that are working. The run was working, but the OC plans on a greater than 3:1 pass to run ratio when the Jets were never down by more than 2 scores. This with the running game avering 4.4 YPC. How many times do we see the pass protection worsen and Sanchez's play stumble (quite frankly) when the Jets are pass happy? Sanchez may improve. I can't say one way or the other. However, I can honestly say that their is no way this OC will improve since he's proven to make the same mistakes over and over and over again.
