Well this game should make us sure of a few things!!!!! Let me first apologize for some of the spelling and vocubulary problems that might follow. I am very emotional at the moment (I need Ryans Kleenex) and am racing to move back to Daddy Mode, I can't stay pissed at the jets past 8pm sunday anymore. Rex Ryan- its ok to talk tough and act tough. This must also be how you handle your team and your coaches. Accountability has to exist. After the whiff that Rhodes had on Welker towards end of half he has to hit the pine the second half. Granted he stuck his head in their a couple times in second half, got run over but atleast stuck head in there. Schotty needs to have his power stripped from him right now!!!! Schotty- I believe when you need to beg your OC to stay because he feels like he deserves to be a HC somewhere its time to let him walk. I really feel Schotty Coaches like he is looking to get a another job. If he ran our offense the way it should it would not be good for his "resume" or sexy enough. Our offense and team would be most successful running the ball 35 times a game and occasional play action to get ball down the field. Perhaps this looks vanilla and allows others to say that easy to coach. However it is how our team is built. Kerry Rhodes- must go. I have been a big fan of the guy but this year has proven to me he is just not a good player. When I think of very good Safeties - I think of three traits, you must possess excel at a minimum of one of these. Ronnie Lott/ Chuck Cecil/ Lynch knock the shit out of you Bob Sanders/ Victor Green- tackling machines Ed Reed/ Darren Sharper- perhaps don't stick nose in but ball hawk and make plays... Kerry does known of these. Look at his number 35 tackles, no sacks, no picks? Today in second half when scoled I believe he gets run over 4-5 times and hits like a fucking girl. Darelle Revis- is on the fast track to the hall of fame. The guy is amazing and is the only positive I take from todays game. Sanchez was bad but what do we do to help the guy "succeed". Its one thing for your rookie to struggle its another thing to put him in situations to fail. To not run the ball and put him in 3rd and long over and over again, is just killinig the guy. On top of it on 3rd and 2 in the first 1/2 you line him up as reciever and run one of the worst options plays I have ever seen. The picks were really really bad, especially the last one but can Ryan just sit down Schotty and tell him "Run, Run Run" Last but not least- I am sure I am the not the only one who almost smashed the TV on the option play on 3 and 2. Please people chime in and tell me who actually broke something. I need to know I am not alone on that play. Lastly one more thing that I am sure of we need to have the two questions answered in the next 6 weeks- do we have the right coach and QB to move forward. I think Ryan needs to show his tough side can be used against his own players/ coaches . We need to see Sanchez show signs of improvement - develop that clock that says get rid of the ball/ throw the ball away. If we go 7-9 I can live with it if I know that these are the two guys I want to go forward with. The rest of the roster we can shake out who we don't want. Its these two positions we need to know about. Off to the shower and a Little Curb Your Enthusiasm I need to laugh.
Rhodes doesn't wrap and never breaks up plays because he's so slow to react and read plays. He should be hitting hsi best years, but he has gotten worse. I am pretty amazed that this is not making press. I guess that goes to show you how much the reporters really know about football.
Look kids.... take a deep breath. Did we have hope in the start of the season? Yes, Did we play lights out for those 3 games? Yes Was it exciting for that short time to be a jets fan? Yes, Did we lose 2 KEY Players in the form of KJ, and LW? Yes. Now it's put into perspective, the rest of the league cought up with our game plan, and now without key players, Sanchez is now longer getting protection, and the kid is not being groomed properly by shotty. (Shotty should be on the sidelines after every series, every mistake showing photo's, getting in the kid's ear, but it's not happening). These are our jets... while i'm never happy with it, Iv'e seen it a thousand times..... look at their body language.... losing begets a losing attitude... these jets are going nowhere this season..... However, get rid of Shotty, promote Callahan, beef up that O line and monster NT in the off season and I really believe we will see a better result/product. For now, take in the +s, and try not to get to freaked..... these are the Jets we have always known, always will....
I cant give Sanchez the smack as alot of people here...The guy is a rookie and tried to do more then he can. He has to practice more in bad weather...Right now the Jets have to find ways to improve. I still hate the predictability of Schotty. Just keep in mind that even some of the best qbs ever had incredibly bad rookie seasons
That play made me make a noise I was unaware I could make.. but like you said.. thats shotty being an asshole .. I never thought about it like that though.. that the smash mouth football style doesn't say much for an OC.. but your 100% right.. we run the most unfriendly rookie quarterback offensive scheme ever.. its retarded.. i hope he gets fired.. we move on to ANYONE else.. and get shit straightened out for next season..
its lack of predictability that is problem with Schotty. We should be a predictable offense. When you have the ability to do something really well then do it. RUN RUN RUN RUN.
The problem isn't that Rhodes "is just not a good player".. it's that he has his head up his ass. He used to be a ball-hawk and one of the most underrated safeties in the league. Now he'd rather pose shirtless and tweet all day long.
Nce post. As of right now I do not believe we have the right HC or OC or DC to get the job done. Atleast Sanchez shows flashes. But I agree that these last 5 weeks are for peoples jobs. I honestly do not believe we will win another game this season.
not the way they're playing. If anyone we're getting worse. IT IS TIME to look at some other guys and put the Kerry Phodes's on the bench for the duration of the year.
I cannot stand the excuses--------I do not want to hear we lost key players------EVERYONE loses guys--The Pats off line is a mess! The freaking Dolphins have such little talent, they lose Pennington who was their qb granted we all know what he is and was but he was their leader and they lose Ronnie Brown and the are still competative and in every game!!!! enough with the excuses!!!! Find guys who care and want to play!!! Rex must stop being buddy buddy with these guys--I WANT ACCOUNTABILITY not excuses AND copouts!!!!
first of all kerry rhodes should be a 2 time pro bowler in the past 2 seasons im sure all would agree, is he not allowed 1 bad year? second, schotty is not pleasing with his play calling but sanchez has more than 1 guy to throw to each passing play X Y Z at least schotty doesnt have a shotty at sanchez head saying throw to Y reciever or i pull the trigger, sanchez is making bad reads, or not looking off safeties, or not pump faking to make the opposing defense to flinch, if these things are corrected it would lead to completions rather than INTs.
TRUE, but you also have to notice that darelle revis is taking work away from both safeties on one whole side of the field he is shut down, im sure if we had a diffrent corner and not revis safeties would have more tackles. revis even helps stop the run.
So Revis is the reason that Rhodes is failing??? I have myself written some dumb stuff on here and read some dumb stuff but this might take the cake. They call it "Free"safety for a reason. Roam free and make plays. Having a great corner should allow Rhodes to make more plays not less.
This is not the time to defend Kerry Rhodes. If he should have been a pro bowler it was perhaps 3-4yrs ago not last year. I believe it is a bigger problem too if you feel you have a guy who has the talent and not the desire. He is Mini Gholston right now in my mind he does not want to stick his head in.
