How bout our OC? his play calling was very impressive today. Im glad Dinger talked his way out cuz Shotty's playcalling is way better than Dingers:jets: :jets:
I don't think Dinger really got a chance. Herm handcuffed him and the players dropped on the injury list like flies.
Personally, I was very disappointed in his play calling today. When we got the wind at our backs in the 2nd and the 4th quarters, we looked like Hackett and Herm had returned. Run on 1st down, play action on 2nd, and a short pass on 3rd down. It was like they'd conceded that they couldn't throw the ball down the field. A 3 yard pass to Coles with the wind at our backs? Please. Luckily he was out-sucked by Buffalo's play calling. The bootleg, the fake punt, the failure to keep running Magahee down our throats. The only thing I can think of is that they had decided they couldn't be sure where the ball was going to land in the swirling wind. I'd still have liked to have seen a few downfield passes rather than the tight play calling.
Gawd I hope so. that'll mean the Jet's O has become a feared bunch in the AFC and the Jets have probably gone deep in the playoffs with him calling plays. It's a lot easier for a defensive coordinator to get the head coaching opportunity after just a couple of seasons. For an offensive coordinator to get that call something pretty special has to have happened on his watch.
Lil Schott is still learning to be a NFL OC. But I like the idea of adjusting your gameplans when needed. He is nothing if not humble in that regard. I don't see much in the form of Martyball in the way he calls a game. Or if there are elements, he is using only the most dynamic.
Forget about Dinger, I don't even know if we can blame Hackett. Herm was clealry the cause of all the conservative play. Herm handcuffed every OC he has had.
:drunk: posters! LOL our running game sucks, not just bad, but sucks. Nevertheless the offense is putting up points and by and large moving the chains and knuckleheads still complain. He is doing a fine job of making lemonaide out of lemons if you ask me.................... Not saying we do not have talent just the fact we have no running game. There are not many example of teams overcoming that handicap. Jesus the coaching this year is an order of magnitude better, especially the OC.
When you have the lead like we did..and give up 450 plus yards of offense...I have no problem going in to a bit of a shell on offense. I just didnt see it that way. He has no running game to work with..yet still was able to control the clock, especially down the stretch for the game sealing touchdown. I thought the playcalling on that drive was pretty much perfect.
He's doing a great job and keeping everyone happy. The ball is being spread out and he's playing to Chad's strengths. When we needed a drive today to seal the game we marched right down and got it. Same way we did in Tenessee. Good mix of run to pass too. Imagine how effective the offense would be if the running game gets going.
As long as Schottzie keeps calling plays for guys to land on a defender's back when they get tackled and other plays where they take off and weave through the entire defense, we'll be fine. Maybe the lack of a running game has just a little, little tiny bit to do with who's running the offense and selecting the personnel? I'm not saying Schottzie won't be a good OC, but pretending he's a god at this point is beyond silly. Yeah, he's probably already better than Hackett and Dinger, but I'm not sure that's praise.
I was not going to repy to your sillyness but what the hell. If you are referring to the NE game. Tough to call plays with the LOS collapsing on both runs and passes. Tough to get any plays when your QB and RB's are running for their lives. That was before Cotchery's catch. Funny how in every game so far adjustments have been made and the offense has been halfway decent, EXAMPLE THE GAME YOU MENTION ABOVE. EVEN WITH NO RUNNING GAME! yeah but that is just a minor detail no running game. Is it the OC's fault our veteran starting LG is injured and that puts the whole left side of the line manned by rookies or a second year player? Go ahead say yes. Then I suppose it is also his fault he had Barlow and Blaylock as his two starting RB's. Yes to that too? Funny how he is making Chicken Salad out of Chicken shit! He is doing a great job. If you can not see it and have to spout your negativism more power to you. Hey do not let the facts get in the way of your sour grapes.
Are we watching the same games? I will say we have shown better playcalling late in the games than the older regime but the constant Runs up the Guts for nothing on 1st and 2nd down give me flashbacks.
I don't think Heimerdinger was a bad coordinator at all. Look what he had: -Pennington rushing back from surgery, nowhere near 100% -Vinny, Bollinger, 4th and 5th string QBs -No offensive line But Brian has been running a the O nicely so far. Nice variety, and playing to the strengths of our personnel.
Again if they can keep calling Fluke play left or Fluke play right, that's great. Yes, he is responsible for Blaylock starting. Houston or Washington are better options as goal line/short yardage or 3rd down backs respectively. I offered valid criticism rather than starry-eyed optimism. Can't handle that? Get over it. He's doing okay if you include the fluke plays. If that's your definition of great, fine. I was disappointed that we didn't attack more when we had the wind. Sour grapes? WTF are you referring to? It'd be sour grapes if I had suggested a different OC and Schottzie got hired instead. That's not the case here. We won the game and hopefully our godlike OC will have sense enough to replace Blaylock in the backfield.
Are you kidding me. You're conceding to the point that ini Schottenheimer is already better than Hackett and Dinger, two experienced OC's, yet you're also saying that hes not very good now? I'll take a first year offensive coordinator out performing two experienced OC's any year.
Schott is really impressing me with his ability to adapt, and even though coles has a TON of catches, it seems like we are running an offense similar to new england, with no featured receiver and instead you throw it to the open man...chad definatly feels most comfortable with coles, but cotch, j-mac, baker, and now dwight all are capable of making plays, not to mention neon leon, sean ryan, and brad smith if he gets an opportunity
we got lucky w/ the play calls, it felt like herm was the head coach again, we got lucky w/ that catch n long run by washington which was the longest play for the jets, but 2nd and 4th quarters should have tried longer passes instead of drop offs to coles
