It was addressed a year ago with a new field; looking at "the last few years" is meaningless. Has anyone seen any reliable objective stats on field related injuries for all who played there since then?
It can't be that because they hired Saleh favorite Dan Shamash to replace Leon Washington. Shamash has been here since 2022 leading "situational awareness" something the Jets were clearly mediocre or less at last year
Ya--ok, we are talking about NYJ so anything is possible including nepotism, favoritism, etc I guess my point is that on the field, I didn't judge ST coverage above average so I'm fine with making replacements and it doesn't matter to me if the bigger reason is they don't like Leon or whatever. Now, I could change my opinion if someone like Nania did research showing LW was excellent in some way but absent that I think he was a JAG in this role.
Hard to do any external analysis on the performance of an assistant position coach I think its a bad/petty move though. Unless he's showing up drunk or not showing up at all, just renew Leon Washington's contract. I think the Jets should always try to include former players when appropriate, especially their own. Players respond better to guys they know were in the league like them anyway. Dan Shamash played a little D3 football, good for him but he's not Leon Washington of the Jets and he has no special teams coaching experience whatsoever The 'positive vibes only' guy clearly just wants to surround himself with friends
That's right, they bragged about this guy like he was our answer to Ernie Adams. Dude just came off as another meat head. https://www.foxsports.com/stories/n...-and-how-did-he-become-the-jets-secret-weapon
The injuries, more than any other factor including talent, has been the reason the Jets have not had postseason success.
It is comical--I'll take a PhD in mathematics/economics for decision science In addition, maybe I'm biased, but I prefer a decision scientist who isnt obese
Yeah, you want the uber stat nerds for this kind of role. It's hilarious how far from that archetype this guy seems.
