i am ok with just cold -- of course you will hear all week - this will be the coldest game Sanchez has ever played in blah blahblah
It's not about cold itself, it's the fucking play calling. The shitty head OC calls too many cutie plays to build his own resume for a new job.
The weather has nothing to do with it, if they let him throw the ball he'll be fine. I know yesterday he didn't burn the house down but I think he played great.
Look at Flacco's lines from last year (and Big Ben from a few years ago) -- thats how you win. Great defense. Great running. ANd 13-18 for 120 yards and no picks. Thats the formula
I agree. Just run the fuckin' ball down their throats and limit Sanchez to about 20 or so attempts. Also, GET RID OF THAT FUCKIN DOUBLE REVERSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The double reverse isn't that bad of a play, it works sometimes with Brad Smith in the lineup. The Colts just have a lot of speed on their defense which is why yesterday's play got completely blown up.
The worst was the play where they motioned Richardson to the far side and had Jones rush up the middle. First time was great. Got 12 yards. The next two times were awful. I was yelling at the TV because it was the same exact play. Of course the Colts stuffed both runs (2 and 4 yards?). The other thing that bothered me were those stretch plays. The Colts D is built on speed. Why are we trying to out-run them? We should be pounding the rock up the middle for every play. Of course, when we do, we get large chunks like we did in the second half. BTW, on the ill-fated reverse that killed the drive, if Sanchez blocks his man, that's a 5 yard gain. But then again, why are you expecting your QB to be blocking? We should have more slants to Braylon, more outs to Keller, more screens to both our RB's. That should be the foundation of our passing game.
Which worked very well the first time with Brad Smith under centre...not the second, but you can't have it all (or as Jets fans we can't seem to have any of it!:sad
I don't want to see the same offense we saw against Atlanta. It's going to be freezing, so pound the damn ball down their throats.
Hope to see Jaywayne12 and GreenHornet weigh in with some weather predictions. Those guys were amazing in forecasting the last big storm on the east coast, long before the weather channel or anybody else said a peep about that possibility.
Baltimore last year 592 rushing attempts 433 passing attempts Atlanta last year 560 rushing attempts 434 passing attempts NY Jets this year 550 rushing attempts 377 passing attempts
Here's an idea. Lets spread the field and go empty backfield and leave a DE unblocked a couple of times. They would be bamboozled.
