Of course there is no difference between chess and NFL football. Except everything. QB's need to make split second decisions with the football and will fall back to what has been ingrained in their minds during practice. Which is likely much different than what they're actually seeing.
LTJF is see exactly what you're saying, but at the same time all 16 defenses we will face this year will be completely different...some run a 4-3, some a 3-4. Some have a great D-line, others have a great secondary. Some will have a shit defense but a really good offense so in those cases, we have to score more points. If we were playing the Bills 16 times over, than modeling their defense all pre-season for our O to practice against would make a ton of sense.
Belichick's defense sucks. It's not like Rex's either, even if he does run some traps. 90% of the time we'll be facing much more simple defenses than Rex's. I'd prefer the offense practice against more simple defenses and master that before they try to master the 10%.
Bingo. That's exactly my point. For a young QB that is particularly crucial. Let him master the NFL nuts and bolts before he learns the sophisticated blitzes.
There is very, very little talent on offense and it's going to be a big time struggle to score points. Rex only cares about defensive stats so things won't change until next year when you get an offensive coach.
Another year of offensive offense... Looks like defense and special teams are gonna have to ring up some points.
If our D is that good then when we face lesser opposing defenses we should do good against them but we don't. I think we just suck at offense.
If it were just a matter of us having a bunch of great defensive players this logic would be fine, but that's not the case. It's the unique scheme that is the problem IMO.
Yeah, when does Sanchez panic? When he's getting rushed heavily. What does he almost never see from the Jets defense? That kind of pressure. Instead he sees the same thing every other QB sees from the Jets defense: smoke and mirrors. That's also the thing he's never going to see in the regular season.
I have to agree. The scheme is too unique that any practice that they get doesn't really seem to apply to in game situations where a more typical scheme is used. While theoretically practicing against a good defence should make the offence stronger that doesn't seem to be the case here and hasn't been for years. Maybe it's not just because our offensive players aren't exactly world beaters but because of the schemes used.
Once the season starts don't the ones play against a scout team that pretty much plays like the team you play that week? So what is all the fuss about a few weeks of camp for?
We're talking about more than just ota's though. There's training camp and preseason which is when the majority of practice work is done.
This is the NFL. If you throw an interception, it's yours, you own it. You don't turn around and blame it on your defense. Our running game wasn't any good last year, either - you don't blame that on having to scrimmage against a tough defense. Yes, Rex has complex schemes, but Sanchez was probably going to bust no matter where he went. Think of all the QB's who were busts without playing for the Jets - Leinart, Ryan Leaf. Matt Leinart wasn't practicing against a complex defense, he just couldn't throw well. Same for Sanchez. This is the NFL - No Fuckingexcuses League. You put up or you go home.
