At no point in the game, was it necessary to scream, deliver the effing ball. It's very clear that Sparano, understands that a large percentage of pass plays should take less than 4 seconds to develop.
Read that post you quoted again. Find anything resembling football analysis. I dare you. It's nothing but badly opinionated rhetoric. Understand the fraud in that post. You do it well enough when it comes to politics.
Protection schemes grow on trees. OC has absolutely nothing to do with it. Jets OL sucked. Sanchez sucked at reading defenses. Those are the facts. P.S. Woody Johnson still hasn't hired anyone with decent qualification to grow these protection schemes on his NJ farm. It's all his fault.
Yes, he does deserve some credit ... But we had great run blocking schemes (something both Callahan and he designed together), pass blocking schemes have always been suspect with schotty ... everything had to be set up off of play action, and this pre dates sanchez
I thought Callahan was primarily responsible for the OL, and of course was not brought back this year. How can you isolate Schotty's responsibility as compared to his?
I don't think the OL was Schotty's fault but it does help to bring in an OC who used to be a OL coach. Also no WFH and striking gold with Howard helps just as much.
I was very critical of Sparano when they first hired him, and I know it was just one game, but I will say that for the first time in a long time, the offense looked more composed.. it was refreshing. Now Schottenheimer's offenses, even in good games (of which they had quite a few, give credit where its due) still looked hectic or something. Example: They took longer to get out of the huddle, they would have big losses, followed by big gains, there were moments where it appeared there was confusion, there was alot going on behind the line of scrimmage, but not a lot of creativity down field - beyond it. There may have been days where the points were high in numbers, good days, but even on those days it never once felt like the offense was firing on all cylinders. I know it was only one game, only Buffalo, and maybe its only because their defense is so bad (I hope not), but the offense was getting plays out faster and in better rhythm then we've seen in a long time. Sanchez, and most everyone looked comfortable and I was impressed with the creativity with the WRs..
I'd attribute the trends we saw on Sunday as much to the development of Kerley, the presence of Hill and the pass protection as I would to the playcalling. Having a legitimate deep threat certainly opens up the field for those slants and getting the ball down the field has a lot to do with having an upright QB-- whether or not Cimini agrees that he has had poor protection in the past.
from what i understand, callahan was the running game coordinator and schotty was the passing game coordinator
Actually the OC has everything to do with it, because if he doesn't recognize the offensive weaknesses and adjust his game plan accordingly, they will fail and look terrible doing it. Schotty didn't adjust to our weaknesses last year. Plain and simple. It was apparent in the Giants game, especially. Sanchez was hurt yet the game plan was throw the ball 65 times and to abandon the run when they needed it most.
