Watch rex get canned and a team with a good offense in place hires him as a HC. The media starts to love him and he goes on to win a SB just like dungy did in INDY.
Who on our team do u trust to return a punt in the rain? Then u give the pats the ball deep in our territory if we fumble, I didn't have a problem with it based on rain
Kerley was our best PR that night and matter of fact , He was our best WR also.He was out for the game. Rex wanted a extra guy hoping that they could get a block or a fumble. You know it was raining hard that night? I have no problem with our ST play that night. Kyle could/would have fumbled and then everyone would have bashed rex for that.
Listen if Sanchez were healthy, he would be the starter. We would be 0-2. If we had one competent WR, we would have won that game against NE. Rex can coach D, that is all. He is not a good HC.
Rex Rex is a good guy by all reports but what are the three main duties of a head coach. If I was hiring I want a HC to coach the coaches, motivate the players and deal with the media. Rex's fixation on the defense is what will get him fired at the end of the year. Too bad but he should know that by now.
We were saying things like this back in '09/'10. Bottom line is our 2012 draft class is a big question mark still, and the 2013 draft class obviously still has to prove themselves. I mean, I would have never thought back in '09 that in 2013 we would have nobody left from our '08 draft class and pretty much no one left from our '09 draft (Obviously Sanchez is still around, but he won't be after this season) and our '10 draft class is looking just about as shaky and almost entirely on it's way out in a year or two as well. (Unless Vlad continues to play like he did Thursday) I'm just saying, there is no guarantee we will have more than 1 or 2 players left from our 2012 draft in 2-3 years, and even then the players we keep might not even be very good overall, but just role players. I don't like depending on young players needing to develop as our only hope, we need young players who have proven themselves, more people like Wilkerson around to get my hopes up, and not these Stephen Hills.
The Jets are building a solid foundation at this point. They definitely don't have it in place yet. Among other things just as the new drafts settle in people like Mangold and D'Brick will cross 30 and begin the decline. I look at 2015 as the year the Jets are likely to have a solid foundation in place. The NFL is all about running in place as hard as you can just to stay even.
The elements did dictate it, but the Jets kept taking shots down field which is what opened up the gaps and running lanes to move the ball on the ground.
I think Rex's undoing has been pushing the GMs to draft defense all the time. We've neglected to draft top offensive prospects in the first round and its bit us in the ass. Considering Rex doesn't know offense that well he should have drafted talented leaders on the offense. Additionally, he could've taken a group of scrubs on defense put most of his focus there to made them into a decent group. The 2000 Ravens are a once in a lifetime type of team, which success may never come again considering the rule changes in the NFL. No matter how nasty your defense is, if you have no O, you have no chance.
Come April, the Jets have to take the best offensive playmaker in the draft who will be an instant impact. The D-Line should be even better next season and hopefully Davis turns into a nice LB for us.
In Rex's first draft, we had 3 picks and went QB, RB, OL. Then we traded for a WR. Then we did go OL in the 2nd round next draft. We also traded for another WR. We spent a good amount on O initially, we did a poor job replacing the talent that left in 2010 with viable options in 2011. Now this new GM came in and picked a DL and CB first round. I find it hard to believe Rex had control over the last GM and this current GM. I think what happened with Tannebaum is that the two successful season we had under Rex made us believe our offense ,and Sanchez, was more talented than they actually were at the time.
come april they should take the bpa regardless of position, the caveat being qb if geno proves out. reaching for an offensive weapon if there is much better defensive prospects on the board is not a sound draft strategy. stay true to the board and you will minimize the busts and stockpile depth.
Then try and make a trade to be in a position to get the best playmaker on your board. We cannot do the same thing we did to Sanchez in trying to groom him. This kid needs to get an elite offensive weapon to work and grow with.
the problem is there is no guarentees on a draft pick. trading up is ok but if you miss you lose more than just a wasted pick. you lose potential depth and/or solid starters.(see jets 2011-2012) if the guy you are targeting is a can't miss prospect there will be no team willing to trade or you have to do the "ditka" and again sacrifice depth. we can hope a game breaker will be there where ever we pick but i don't want to see the f.o. panick and reach. it just has too many risks involved the 2 best moves are sitting put and taking what the draft board dictates or sliding down until you feel comfortable taking a player at a desired position. trading down is the only way to target specific position since you acquire more picks that lets you hedge your bet on the guy you want.
We're you in the draft room? How do you know Ryan influenced the picks? And there were no skill players worth drafting when the Jets drafted Milliner and Richardson.
Concur at 9, I liked Warmack there, but at 13 I wouldn't have vomited with Eifert. Having said that, I do like the Richardson pick- guy is going to be a beast and I love his motor and his demeanor. Love hearing him interviewed. _
It's interesting how we all agree with the MMQB author's premise: that the on-field talent hasn't matched the coaching talent. This seems to indicate two things: (1) that Tannenbaum incorrectly drafted (and contracted) based upon the on-field performance instead of looking at the talent on the roster; and, (2) for all his faults and failings, Johnson did the right thing by canning Tannenbaum. It's worth pointing out that, to this board's credit, many Jets fans knew that Tannenbaum's strategy were high risk for a very small window, and that canning him for that failure was the right call. Shame it's taken the media so long to pick up on it. Guess this is why B-school doesn't sell as well as Barnum & Bailey's.
I don't think that's the case. On the broadcast, they showed a replay on the Jets lining up for that play, and Wilson was walking back to get set to receive the punt, and they highlighted 2 Jets coaches (I'm pretty sure one of them was Kotwicka) waving for him to get back to the LOS. Not that I don't think Wilson stinks like a dead fish.
