Does Rex search out the media to say inane shit or is the media chasing him down because they know he'll say something idiotic.
"We're still doing the same thing," Williams told Vic Carucci of The Buffalo News this week, ahead of Sunday's critical showdown with the surging Texans. The core complaint from Williams centers around a scheme that asks its pass rushers to frequently drop into coverage, leaving less opportunity to wreck the quarterback. He has a point after watching the Bills drop from a franchise-record 57 sacks in 2013 -- and a league-leading 54 last season -- to just 13 all year by their defensive linemen in 2015.
it is a joke people calling bowles some much better coach then Rex. Rex has his flaws, but literally everything people complained about with rex, is happening under bowles: -Team not showing up prepared (oakland) -Horrible late game/clock/timeout management -Carelessness with the ball/fumbles -dumb penalties in huge situations (2 of our games ended on penalties, vs giants 2 4th down penaltis when they had to punt) other then rex being brash and bowles being reserved bowles has been guilty of all the same stuff rex has. I dont see what bowles has earned as far coaching chops go. he is 7-5 with some let down losses. he has done an ok job, but has a long long way to go to match what rex did here
1) how many wins do we have last year compared to last season? 2) What happened last time the Jets played the Giants? 3) why are you being a slapdick?
Why is this question always asked? A thread is dedicated to it on here and it makes no sense. Would Rex not have done better with Fitz instead of Geno/Vick , Marshall and Decker instead of Decker and whoever the hell was our #2 WR , and oh yeah Revis as his #1 CB? Yeah I think he probably would've done alright with that group.
Yup, it's not like we put Pryor in a position to succeed last year - oh and having Coples jam receivers at the LOS - EXCELLENT IDEA! If Rex coached the Jets for yesterday's game; the game would've been over at halftime. Also, Geno prob would've returned as the starter if Rex was the HC - hell we prob don't even make the trade for Fitzpatrick.
I agree with you , we most likely dont win the game yesterday with Rex. But Bowles wasnt the reason we won by any stretch. We won cause Fitz and the WR's killed it , Coughlin was bad and the Giants defense is terrible. Im not pushing for Rex's job back or anything lol. The regime needed to change which led to a new QB being here. But lets also not make it sound like Fitz was Bowles' guy from the first day of training camp. If the IK situation never happened Geno would've seen more playing time this year than Fitz. I do credit Bowles for sticking with Fitz through the hard times though and through his injury.
IMO. Comparison of a rookie coach after half a season versus a 5 year HC at this juncture is about as useful and meaningful as wondering how good we could have been with a better GM that made Rex accountable for coaching and gave him the talent he needed not the talent he wanted it or no talent at all. It's unfortunate and unnecessary trivia. After a few years of Bowles with the Jets, if people still care to discuss the comparison it might be slightly more relevant. But quite frankly who cares. We are where we are and we need to improve on the present and forever more forget about the past, except to learn enough from it not repeat it.
Do you think Rex makes the same adjustments at half-time to double Odell and take him out of the game? Or does Rex stay stubborn and try and blitz on each and every passing down? Jets secondary put the clamps on Odell in the 2nd half, those adjustments you have to give Bowles credit on.
I disagree because there is clear improvement in Bowles in comparison to Rex Ryan who stayed true to himself and never really improved being a head coach. Rex had the talent in 2011 to win and failed to make the playoffs.
I give him credit. But there was really no reason why that shouldn't have been the strategy from the first snap. Odell is an amazing weapon. But he's all the Giants have. And they nearly beat us by having only 1 offensive weapon. He also had a huge "drop" on a poorly throw ball by Eli, that would've went for 6 if he caught it. Maybe the perfect coaching combo would be Rex in the 1st half then Bowles in the 2nd.
1) last season was a completely different team. did we have Revis last year? Marshall? Fitzpatrick? Skine? Gilchrist? Leonard Williams? Cro? why are we only comparing to last season, and not Rex's entire tenure with the jets, or Rex's first season as a rookie coach himself, which would be a much better comparison? Bowles isnt coaching last years team, and he would need to hit 10 wins and go to the superbowl to top what rex did as a rookie coach 2) What does 1 game 4 years ago have to do with anything? 3) If by slapdick you mean "pointing out facts" then its because you ignored them completely Bowles hasnt been awful, he has done a solid job for a first year coach. but this nonsense that he is much better then Rex or cleaned up the stuff that happened under Rex is just pure garbage. Starting QB punched in the face and broken jaw, horrible penalties, horrible clock management, not showing up for games... etc.... all the same crap we saw under rex
And bowles has done so much better with Couples? In fact couples was so much better under bowles we had to cut him! Pryor is certainly in a better role this year. He is also playing with Revis/Skrine/Cro instead of Walls and Allen. think that makes up for anything? As far as geno, lets not forget bowles had him starting, until a broken jaw forced his hand to start fitz if you dont think revis/marshall make a huge different then you clearly arent here to have a rationale discussion. when Rex had Revis/Edwards we were closing in on superbowls
Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending Rex, but we need to see a lot more od Bowles to compare apples and apples. So far I'm impressed with him, and if he doesn't regress, he might catapult into one of our better coaches, which I'm sure many here would take exception to.
1) it doesn't matter because the players he had weren't put in a situation to succeed. Do you think Rex would've stayed with Demario Davis all season long? I do - Bowles slowly has phased Demario out of the defense. Rex took a Mangini team and tried putting it over the hump. He was lighting in a bottle for 2 seasons, but no improvement at all. No influence on the offense what-so-ever. 2) It has everything to do with it - it's all about resiliency, this team has it, it's because of Bowles. 2011, Cruz took a 99 yard pass and destroyed the Jets playoff hopes - that occurring in the first half [around the SAME exact time as Odell's big touchdown]. It's clear to see, the team reacted MUCH differently and rebounded in the 2nd half. Rex's team's didn't do that. In a must win game. 3) You pointed out 0 facts, you just wanted to give Rex a good ol rub that's all. It's borderline trolling.
Coples didn't care about winning so he was cut. Pryor was playing deep safety his first season, as indicated by Pryor, he wasn't put in a situation to succeed. Bowles gave Geno the chance and he completely blew it - he never got his job back. I bet he would've been benched right away as well. We weren't closing in on SBs, we couldn't even get to the big game! AFCCG loses is nothing to boast about. Keep on rubbing Rex though.
