leave them? you do know he hasn't been in NE for several years now, don't you? he left them long ago, and I'm certain his career interests don't revolve around either returning to NE or nothing.
I think he has developed somewhat in the decision making department, he doesn't force as many throws as he used to but still has that tendency, that has to go away, the one screen play where he saw the defender coming that was a smart move to throw it away and not try and force a screen pass, earlier this season if you remembered he threw a pick 6 that way, he's not regressing he's learning but it's definitely tough on the fly as Sanchez has been doing, what he needs to learn is that one play does not dictate the game, he has to learn that getting a 5 yard pass is just as good as anything; positive yardage, he doesn't have to try and win games on one play and that's what I see from him, the game still needs to slow down for him to progress more, at the end of the day I think we will all be happy with Sanchez, it's def going to take some time though, we won't see major dividends till potentially his 3rd season/end of 2nd season, the decision making is getting better, but he still has a lot to learn from the transition from the college to the NFL, he's also learning how to change the play from the line of scrimmage much better, reading defenses, that play change he had when he "rolled it back" was pretty awesome though I really liked that, he has the command of the huddle, now it's the next step With that in mind he still needs a OC that is QB friendly that sets him up to succeed, idk if we have that in Shotty, it's honestly tough to say, but I think that if were going to get a new OC, it's gotta be now
He's not going to the Jets I guarantee that, not so much leave them but for him to go to a rival team in the same division as his friend Bellicheat it's going to take a lot, dude its wishful thinking it will never happen, they are still great friends (Bellicheat and Weis) WONT happen, Weis and Ryan I doubt would also get along, get someone friendly for Rex that they can talk and gameplan together
He's making better decisions, his pocket awareness has improved greatly. There was a play yesterday where he was about to killed by Abe and he stepped up just in time and delivered a strike. he's doing a better job reading defenses and throwing the ball away. he's still going to throw picks, he made some bad throws but he also made great throws. Remember, he was also coming back from injury and playing w/ a 2nd knee brace yesterday- that has to be factored in. Heimerdinger couldn't do anything w/ brooks Bollinger and now brooks lead's his UFL team to the title game:up: Chad PLAYED in henning's system for one year(he didn't play as he was a rookie but he was a backup), when he signed he dusted off his 2000 notes and he was prepared. Chad also had experience changing systems as he did in 2000, 2001, 2005 and 2006.
Haha, apparently no one thought anything could be done with Bollinger, which would explain why he's in the UFL.
I don't wanna read this thread, but I have to say: if it ain't callahan, then Tannenbaum's not watching the games.
gary kubiak... sounds like he runs a fairly successful offense for the last couple years, well balanced and turned schaub into a stud.
Favre did fine until he had to do it Schotty's way. Sanchez was doing very well for a rookie until the crazy plays caused him to lose his confidence.
Callahan is obvious choice and my bet to be the coordinator. Per wikipedia: During his tenure as not only head coach but also offensive coordinator for the Raiders, Callahan earned a reputation as one of the finest offensive minds in the NFL. The Raider offense led the league in rushing in 2000 and led the league in passing in 2002. In 2002, the Raiders became the first team to win games in the same season while rushing at least 60 times (against Kansas City in a 24-0 win) and passing at least 60 times (against Pittsburgh in a 30-17 win). The Raider offense also set many franchise records during this period, including fewest sacks allowed (28) in 2000, a mark that was broken the following year (27). As an OC for the raiders, in 1999, 2000, 2001 he had top 10 offenses. As head coach he took them to the superbowl and had the #1 offense in the league. By comparison Little Schit has ranked 26, 26, 16, and 21 (this year thus far). He has not even sniffed the top 10. He is lousy coordinator and has completely mishandled MS. They should have given it to Callahan last year, the guy is a true pro and the man for the job. Having a top 5 caliber OC and a top 5 caliber DC is the recipe for a superbowl.
Now... that's a low blow. First of all, Kellen Clemens was drafted specifically to replace Chad Pennington, which Kellen could never do. If Brian had any continuity at the QB spot, that was Kellen. Brian's most important task at the Jets post was to develop Kellen into the next starting QB, which he failed so miserably that Jets ended up taking yet another QB with yet another high draft pick. So how did having 4 years of experience under BS system look to you 2 weeks ago? Did it look anything like pass-happy Brian Schottenheimer offense at all to you?
Unfortunately you have to have talent to develop players, I like kellen but he's never had starting NFL ability. If sanchez fails he takes the fall for that b/c sanchez is more of a can't miss type but Clemens was more of a project.
Callahan would be the obvious choice I think. If he didn't want the job by chance, then I would definitely take a look at Gary Kubiak if he gets fired.
You are right, and that's why we are calling for a change at the OC position because BS has no talent. hmy:
You get a very incomplete picture on Callahan unless you add what happened in that Super Bowl, the year after, when he got fired and lost the team completely, and then failed to hang onto a job in Nebraska.
Some guys just aren't cut out to be a head coach. I wouldn't worry about his HC failures if we're looking at him for an OC.
Essentially, Callahan gets credit for three years as coordinator with Rich Gannon as a ProBowl quarterback and league MVP. We overlook that he ruined both the Raiders and Nebraska - two teams that released successful coaches with successful programs and tried to plug in Bill Callahan. I'd prefer Bill Callahan over bringing in a new coach with a new system, but he sticks out more in my mind for his past incompetence, rather than his success and innovation.
I frankly give Gruden the credit for making Gannon successful, and the rest of the team as well. A very well put together team can last awhile under a less effective coach, as Jet fans saw in the early to mid 80's. By that measure and despite the SB appearance, Callahan sure didn't take long to drive that team into the ditch. He completely lost his players. Is that the Peter Principle at work? I really don't know, but at best it's a gamble. One thing I have to think about is the Jets basically have him, a former NFL HC, as a junior coach. Why hasn't anybody else thought to give him another shot as an NFL OC? You have to wonder.
