"Quarterback Mark Sanchez is spending four hours each day in Schottenheimer's office, studying the offense. " Good stuff.
The anti-JaMarcus Russell. It is definitely good to hear. Hopefully, the hours he is putting in now will just continue to help him get better going forward, which I think will be the case. With Mark, it is all mental, specifically his decision making in certain situations, which is something we already saw him progress in towards the end of the year when it counted the most.
I don't know how much time normal NFL QB's put into the film room during the off season, but I doubt it's near this much. Sounds Peyton Manning like.
i hope he is bitter that Rex put the handcuffs on him, and wants to prove to everybody he can play at a higher level.
Great read. I'll be VERY surprised if the CS doesn't open the playbook a little more this year for Sanchez.
i get waht you mean... i don't want him bitter though. but yeah, something to motivate. i'm with you. agree. if all this "he's spending 4 hours with the OC" and "8 hours watching vid" stuff is legit, we shouldn't have to dumb things down going forward. very exciting times. granted its still very early in the offseason, but things sound good so far.
now that Sanchez will have a REAL checkdown option in the backfield...that should loosen the coverage up a tad in the vertical game as well. And no...i didn't consider Woodhead as a checkdown option for last season....that's embarrassing. Ugh...it's only March. :sad:
Does anyone find it funny/exciting/scary/unbelievable that players are saying they want to come to the Jets for a chance to win?!??!? Why isn't it week 1 yet?
Unbelievable that players want to come to a team that is coming off a season that exceeded expectations and made it to the AFC title game? Not really.
Yeah, that's really refreshing: "a familiar offense run by an old friend, Jets offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, and the chance to win a championship is what sealed the deal on him signing with the Jets"
Tannenbaum forgot to mention LT's career passing stats: 8 of 12 for 143 yards, 7 TDs, 0 INT for a QB rating of 146.9
