The greatest thing about Ryan and this team is how much of a second half team they are. The first half is really more of a watch and learn experience for the entire team. In almost every win, the Jets have come out at the half and turned on the gas. Today was no exception. We went into the locker room down a touchdown, getting pretty gashed. We were lucky to only be down one score the way we had been playing. But we came out of the locker room, marched down the field, got the points we needed, and won the fucking game! This just further cements our opinions of Ryan's ability to just flat out coach this game. Last year, we would come out guns a blazing and lose the game in the end. This year has seemed like just the opposite. The adjustments made in game and especially at the half are quite possibly the key to our success this season and in the playoffs. This also has a lot to do with the running attack. It's hard to stand by it at the beginning, but by the third and fourth quarter, the running game is constantly gaining 5 plus yards, and eventually breaks a game changer (do I have to mention Shonn mother freakin Greene?) Overall, the amount of love I have for this team and the sheer euphoric ecstasy coursing through my veins at this moment rivals very few other experiences in my lifetime. If I jumped off my roof, I could fly.
The most encouraging part about that is that it indicates RR is good at making in-game adjustments and adapts to the play. The offense definitely made proper adjustments at half time today after doing nothing in the first half.
Ryan trusts his defense to never let the game get out of hand and so the Jets play a very conservative first half approach. After halftime a better opponent is wondering what they got into when they're still sitting there with 7-9 points and then the Jets open it up and turn on the pressure. This works when Sanchez is careful with the ball and it doesn't when he is not.
