The line is not the problem. Sanchez has plenty of time, he's just god awful, and we run a man blocking system with players who are zone blockers.
that's what happens when the team thinks they are better than what they are because of NE's awful defense.
I've got a hurricane to prep for. I don't have the time to waste watching this shit. I'll check back in later.
I agree. Its sad that after a big game in NE, that this team can look so dead AT HOME against a division rival....
Fast forward to Rex's post-game press conference. "Don't worry,..............we'll get it done. Shit,...we'll go back out there right now and play them again."
No one is saying it is. If a QB needs that type of OL to be even tolerable though, he's not worth much and isn't long for the league.
You lost against one the best d lines in the nfl and that's not even homerism. But you could use upgrades
Sanchez has no internal clock. He does not get rid of the ball when under a rush. On thise blitz plays he needs to make his read at the line and get rid of the ball right away decisively. Instead he just stands there confused waiting for soemthing to happen. He does not extend plays with his feet and buy himself time. The line is fine the problem is Sanchez. Sanchez had made some real progress stepping up in the pocket this year and extending plays. Most notably in the 1st game against the Phins and against the Texans. But today like the 49ers game, and how he played the last 3 years, he was playing scared with his head down and not moving. Rather just standing there being a target Early in the season he appeared to being make progress on getting the ball out quickly and not just sitting there in the pocket waiting to get hit. Today he looked like the last 3 years just standing in the pocket waiting for the sack. Watch Moore today and see how fast he gets the ball out. The urgency he plays with. Sanchez is simply playing to slow and indecisive. When Sanchez loses confidence the game is simply to fast for him. Early in the year he had shown better footwork where he plants his feet and actually throws the ball with accuracy. The worse he plays the worse his footwork gets and the more innacurate his passes get. He is simply a headcase. Unlike the last 3 years he has actually shown flashes this year of being a NFL QB but he gets rattled way to easily and reverts to last years form anytime something goes bad. I really think he could benefit by spending the rest of the year on the bench where maybe he can relax and develop some poise and confidence.
Yeah, it's the beginning of the end. If Rex wants to save his job now he needs to justify all the picks on defense by putting together the strongest defensive unit in the NFL for the second half of the season. That's what the Jets are going to need to avoid a 6-10/5-11 finish and the end of his head coaching career. And, like every other great defensive mind out there, he's going to have to do it without Darrelle Revis.
At this rate, I'm afraid you're correct. Rex is already losing his credibility with most of his fanbase as no one really takes his comments seriously anymore. At some point, the empty seats will send the signal to Woody that core changes need to be made or he might want to start considering LA as a viable option as he'll never get the ROI he needs to put the needs of the team above the financial needs of himself.
The Jets are carrying a lot of debt right now, some $600 million. The sell the Jets to LA scenario would happen to avoid continuing losses. It's not going to happen to further ownership's financial interests because of the overhanging debt and the obligations to the MetLife deal.
So the Catch-22 would be this: Woody couldn't move the team to LA because he's in too much debt here in Jersey BUT, he won't make the money he needs at Metlife because the fanbase won't shell out the coin (PSL's, Swag and gameday ticket sales) for a team that only generates headlines instead of wins. Is that pretty close?
I've caught some heat for saying this in the past and I probably will again but I really think Woody is still learning what works and what doesn't. He's still working on his first management team since Bradway never left the building and Tannenbaum was here already before becoming GM. I think when Woody finally realizes that the Jets are causing most of their own problems, getting in their own way so to speak, that he's pretty likely to go get a solid football guy to run the organization for him and fix this. But yeah, I think your Catch-22 is pretty accurate if he just keeps his head down and tries to plow ahead through this. The reality of the Giants 2 recent Super Bowl wins is that the Jets are behind, and behind big time, in the NY market. No amount of back page promotion is going to do anything more than put the Jets farther behind unless it is matched by on-field gains. That's the real Catch-22. The Jets are in a tabloid fueled war with themselves but they have somehow conflated that with being in a competition with the Giants - which it never was and never will be. The only competition the Jets are in with the Giants is the one based on results on the field and the Giants have already lapped them twice while the Jets are headed for the ditch again.
