aint nothing but a smokescreen baby....no way the Jets would be announcing or leaking a game plan this early without knowing their personnel.
They're just playing to geno's strength, the more passes he attempts the more pick 6's he's going to throw.
do we really think the jets are going to be airing it out all day with rex ryan as head coach? i mean last year we almost threw it enough, but even at that it was too little. while i have no faith in the validity of this article, you have to admit rex just doesnt strike anyone as a throw it around and outscore them coach. because he isnt, he is a play it close to the vest and hope the defense wins field position and we can get a few points.
How do we expect to land a top free agent WR if this is true,I hope this is bs.Id like to see us throw it 35 times a game atleast
People are over reacting. Geno will only be in his second year, of course you don't want him slinging the ball everywhere. This is a smart game plan. Have a dominant run game and have Geno make plays when they need him to. Look no further than the Super Bowl champion Seahawks. They adopted the game plan of run the ball and let your QB make a play when he has to.
Maybe, the Jets are putting all kinds of stories out there just to create a somkescreen, (draft). Every year we hear stories of this ilk and they all sound the same, ridiculous. I don't believe this for one moment
I don't believe it. Ideally, they'll always be in the lead and won't need to throw, but I don't think it's the plan for all games.
Ground and pound in a west coast offense? I don't know if this is real, I'm not going to The difference with Wilson and Smith is, Wilson was a difference maker, when you look at his numbers in his first 2 years they are remarkable. He did not come along for the ride, he actually made an impact with his legs and his arm. Where as with Rex, he really wants the QB to do nothing but manage the game, that is not a recipe for winning SB. The offense has to do more than just come along for the ride like the old ravens SB victory against the giants. If Idzik does a good job with the draft on offense, the jets will be fine, if they try to just put together an offense that just gets by, the jets will go backwards because their schedule will be more difficult.
Isn't that what they said about Tebow? lol I'm really not sure what to think, it wouldn't shock me if it were true.
Since the report apparently has not been confirmed, I don't know how true it is. But it is certainly plausible, because this is essentially what hte Jets did in the last four games of last season. I look at those games as three wins against either terrible opponents, opponents who gave up on their seasons, or both. But some see three wins with a rookie Qb. So how did the Jets do that? Of course Miami only scored seven points a week after going scoreless against the hardly defensive powerhouse Bills, but they did not score off of turnovers, either. Essentially the Jets won those games despite very mediocre passing yardage by minimizing the risks of turnovers by their Qb. But does that approach translate into a season long successful approach? I don't think so. Yet we have had Ryan here for five years now, and if you don't notice how the OP's story fits with what we know of Rex's approach to football, then you have not been paying atttention. But it might be something else. Maybe the Jets feel they can't make the right move in FA to upgrade at Qb. Despite my desire to go that route, I am coming around to understanding there are not many good optoins out there. The Bears locked up Cutler, who would have been a great upgrade for the Jets. Everyone else in FA seems problematic for one reason or another, and some who might have been looked at are apparently sticking with their team (although I still think it makes sense for Dallas to trade Orton, but Washington can't afford to let their backup go given Griffin's health). This leaves the draft, and the Jets do not have the luxury of a high pick. I remain skeptical of the Jets' situation there, but the dearth of FA candidates may well lead them to go QB in the draft. But if they can't get anyone good there, Smith may end up starting simply because they could not upgrade Qb. And if they can't upgrade Qb, it may well end up that they limit Smith and try to win by not losing. That would be a real shame.
this but its a great idea to play a smart ball control offense next year. the seahawks, 49ers, panthers and chiefs all rode that formuala to the playoffs ... and just because were likely to run a ball control offense, that doesnt mean that were not going to significantly upgrade the wr position
I am sure they don't want to throw 35-40 times a game but to say under 20 is silly. I don't buy this for a second, my guess it that an opposing team floated this to sway FA WRs from signing w/ us.
I feel this is a little hard to believe. BUT we will see how the Jets handle FA and the draft. That will answer this question.
this sounds like a great strategy.... and its what we did with sanchez. since sanchez was so turnover prone and not a good player the jets minimized his negative impact by minimizing his throws. I think the same can work for Geno. maybe better since he is a bit better extending plays and running for first downs. I dont see why it would prevent us from drafting a WR in the first. if you throw less its more critical you hit on those throws and make more big plays. you need homerun threats or else your just going 3 and out and giving them great field position all the time. when makr didnt throw often we threw deep alot to edwards on play action. you need that big play guy. also, its not just about next year... in fact next year is pretty irrelevant. its about building a good team and geno might not be our QB ina couple years you want that new guy to have good WRs in their 3rd year
no, its smart football when you dont have a good QB. in fact, when we did this with sanchez(limit Pass attempts, the red/yellow/green thing) we won. when we tried to expand sanchez role, it was a giant failure
Except for the fact that he stated last off season that he wanted a high powered passing attack and that was their game plan in the beginning of 2013. When Geno struggled they got more conservative as any good OC should do with a raw rookie. Rex is a defensive coach, it doesn't matter what he strikes you as. MM runs the offense, not Rex, but Marty was hired for a reason and it isn't to play ground and pound (which is more of a catch phrase than a philosophy). These rumors come out every year and they try to give numbers to it, when in reality, the numbers will vary from game to game. It's not like Geno will throw 20 or less every game or Tebow will get 20 snaps a game in 2012, you have to game plan for each team differently, and go with what's working. I hate when numbers like this come out. They are always wrong. Obviously if Geno continues to improve he will throw the ball more, there won't be some magic deadline of attempts.
