Actions speak louder than words, but so far Sparano said everything that we wanted to hear. We are going to play a different style with a different philosophy under him than we've seen the past oh... 6 years. Using Dallas and partially Miami as a barometer, who do you think benefits the most? Jeremy Kerley - Hello wildcat. I think he will open up the options for our offense with the way he can run and throw. And if Sparano is right about moving in 20+ yard chunks to be efficient, I can see him having the Davone Bess role. Especially if we let Mark use his athleticism and play action ability to let Kerley use his speed. Joe McKnight - I don't know what Sparano plans on doing with blocking schemes, but if we use McKnight correctly I think he could have a breakout year. All he needs is some space. If Sparano can get the o-line to create some, use him as a receiver out of the backfield or run him outside the tackles, I think he's going to flourish. Mark Sanchez - It sounds like Sparano knows he isn't a pocket passer. He'll be able to do what he did in college and what he's done best in the NFL: work on the move. As much as this will help Sanchez, it could also break him. If he can't succeed under a new style, will it be the last year he starts in the NFL? And of course, if we can add Haley, this helps Mark even more.
McKnight, Kerley, Sanchez an Greene. They'll probably see some new O-line formations, pulls for running lanes.
I'm thinking Mark benefits the most simply by having a solid o-line and solid running game. If Sporano can get these things in place, Mark will be back to 2009/2010 form. By that I mean the Jets will win a bunch more games and the press will credit Sanchez for turning his career around, eventhough Dirty will have the smallest part in all of it.
I'm just happy that he is already talking about the obvious flaws that we were having from last season. Talking about 20+ yard plays, explosive plays, that is something that was desperately missing last season. I'm glad this is an emphasis. He is talking about morphing this offense into a better version of the 09' & 10' seasons. Physical, consistent, and explosive. I can't ask for much more then that. I was very afraid of this signing at first, after hearing him talk, he sounds like he really knows his shit. I'm getting excited about this move. I can't wait to see it all unfold. I'm just thankful we are heading a new direction. Thank God.
I wonder how much of this is just hot air, ie: he's just saying what wants to be heard but may wind up doing something else entirely.
Why exactly would he do that? What's he's saying is what will work with this teams make up. Seems to me like he's identified the problems. Why do something other than solve them?
Because everything he said was a blatantly obvious universal criticism. Members of this board could have identified these problems, basically I'm wondering how much will he actually be able to do about it.
TOUGHNESS. Tony will bring real toughness to our offense. the Ol will be better and so will everyone else. It will be a professionally run offense but the keynote will be toughness. The Jets will not quit of Tony. He will kick butt and take names! Prima donnas will be kicked to the curb. Sanchez will produce. I think McKnight will be a weapon in a Sporano offense.
Vlad is someone who might benefit since I don't think the Jets are not doing zone blocking anymore. If you believe that Schotty O was too complicated, then Sanchez should also benefit. Sparano dealt w/ Owens @ SF & Marshall @ Miami. I'm expecting his experience with diva WR will help the Jets out w/ the Holmes drama.
Kerley, Mcknight and Sanchez most notably. I also believe Ducasse might be do better with a man to man blocking scheme. Greene will benefit but that's kind of a no brainer type thing. it'll be interesting to see who our #2 WR is next year
I can't believe I'm saying this but BS showed what this offense was capable of when he stuck to being a run oriented OC, his problem was that he did not want to be a run oriented OC. We already know what this offense could be, and who benefited from it, all we needed was an OC who believed it also I think we have one this time. However MT needs to step up big time and put a a grade A or B draft together this year and get some younger and more explosive players on this team and add to the depth.
Since Sparano has never put together an offense, how does anyone know what kind of offense he's going to install, and consequently, how that offense will impact individual players?
I guess you missed the 100 times it's been mentioned he ran the offensive play calling in Dallas in 06 when they were 5th overall offensively. And Rex alluding to the fact Sparano developed Romo, which leads you to believe Rex wants the offense to move in that direction.
If all goes well, hopefully everyone will benefit. I can't really pick out a single player on O last year that was really used to their full potential. Sanchez was often a sitting duck, Greene would get on a roll and then we'd go pass-happy, McKnight didn't see the field enough, receivers went whole games without being targeted, etc... As long as Sparano at least attempts to use our players to their strengths we should see an all-around improvement.
I guess you missed the fact that there's more to being an OC than calling plays (which in his Dallas stint wasn't an entire season) -- like designing the offense. Where do you think teams get their playbooks from? Wikipedia? Maybe the Jets will actually get around to hiring Todd "Loose Cannon" Haley and he can design the Jets' offense.
Yes I'm sure Sparano didn't learn a single thing about how to design an offense in his measly ten years in the league...
I'm not the one assuming that Sparano has some kind of track record as an OC to base guesses on. IMO, he'll design the kind of offensive system that Ryan wants whether the Jets have the personnel to run that offense or not because he's used to working for petty despots like Parcells and Ryan.
