    Well, we tried Flail & Fail.

    That didn't work so good...

    During Sanchez's first year, he looked pretty good doing this thing called "play action." It's where instead of getting the ball and throwing a quick incompletion, you fake like you're going to run and then complete a pass.

    You kind of have to be able to run the ball to make it work, though.

    I don't like Sanchez! His pass grounded and he pounded too much!

    Not sure why Rex needed to say this, wasn't this the plan from the start? I'm all for seeing some change... just not sure I understand yet.

    Sounded to me like a, "This time I really mean it," statement. Hey, at least it gives a point of focus. Will be interesting to see what change, if any, stems from it.

    is there any official article or is there a video of Rex saying this? I ask because what the OP posted is a ... Cimini tweet.

    I wonder how many more times this season Rex will say this and another poster will start this thread.

    As I always said, I'd rather fail running and run time off of the clock than fail passing and give the opposing offense, especially Tom Brady, more time to work the field.

    Because Schotty is the anti-Rex. I've been saying that since 09.

    He doesn't like brute force. He hates trying to hit you in the mouth, even though he knows that's the MO of this team.

    He's a mangini coach in mind and spirit. I don't care the Rex brought him back, he isn't good enough to be a top OC in the game.

    An improvement over the 4 turnovers the Jets had and 21 points scored on them by Baltimore's D no? :smile:

    Connor is proving himself to be a fantastic lead blocker. At this point there's no reason not to think he's near the level of Leach. Maybe slightly below but he is there.

    I do wonder if the Brass themselves told Rex they'd like to see this team become more of a passing team now that Sanchez is in his 3rd year and they have these high profile WRs.

    But high profile WR don't even fit this team's mentality. You can't be a brute force team with a Holmes and a Burress. You need those tough fuckers that get separation and gain tough yardage - you need 4 Wes Welkers.

    It was horrible....and predictable. Which has been a MAJOR problem with this offense so far.

    I hope he's correct for the long haul.

    But for next wek, he better let Sanchez win us this game. The Patriots are extremely vulnerable in the secondary. Don't ignore the run by any stretch, but this is the type of defense you unleash your outside weapons against.

    We couldn't pass protect enough to really try it against Baltimore. Against New England, we should, and we better. Attack the field.

    Bring back ground and pound against Miami.
