Look, i hate sanchez... but shotty is just awful. if he had geno it would be more of the same crap. trying to ram a square peg in a round hole. he just has no clue what he is doing. doesnt play to hsi players strengths and doesnt adjust to ingame situations
You need a QB in order to have top offenses. The Jets had an average at best QB so our offense was average at best. The system masked Sanchez shortcomings early on. MM is comfortable with Geno throwing the ball. If Schotty had Geno I'm sure he'd approach the offense differently.
Bingo. His system is complicated with the fronts he uses and really requires a good to elite level QB to really have success. This was why it failed so miserably with Sanchez and only looked respectable when the running game carried us. It's not a good system to develop a QB under. Also Schotty NEVER played to opposing team weaknesses. If he was planning that Bills game yesterday, it would have been all passing just to try to do the unexpected, despite the Bills obvious weakness in rushing defense. MM seemed to play to that very well yesterday. I thought he was going to refuse to run it because he's a big passing guy, but I was pleased with the playcalling yesterday.
The Jets didn't have to pitch a shutout, we scored around 20 PPG which should be enough for a true elite D. Through 3 weeks this year we are averaging 18 PPG
The FG scored by the Rams in the first quarter of tonights games marked the first points they've scored in the first quarter in their last 10 games. That sounds like Schitty ball at its finest.
lol I got so sick of the Ram hype during preseason - oh my god, Tavon Austin and Chris Givens and Sam Bradford. As if these guys were ever going to be the second coming of Warner, Bruce and Holt. And Daryl Richardson too, people acted like Steven Jackson going was no big deal.
Schotty's offense is terrible. This looks so familiar. Playing on a 20 yard field. Receivers running 5 yard curls. Wasting a 3rd and 1 deep in 49er territory with the only aggressive call of the game. Endless needless motion before the snap. Using the entire play clock for each play. He is just a complete QB killer. Bradford does not have a prayer with this guy. I'm surprised Fischer wanted him. What a disaster this offense is.
He's still defending Sanchez too, even though this offense CLEARLY looks miles better with even a flawed and turnover-prone Geno at QB. The way this offense has improved with the same players is such an indictment of Sanchez/Sparano/Schotty.
Schotty brings a chess set to a sumo wrestling match. It's not quite that simple but you just can't give away the 1st quarter probing for weaknesses as often as he does. On Tavon Austin, I really think people have the wrong idea about him. He's not a fast smurf WR. He's a fast smurf play maker. He probably shouldn't be looked at as a Percy Harvin, he's more like a lighter quicker version of Leon Washington. The Rams should be lining him up all over the place and using him to create mismatches. He averaged about 12 yards a catch in college. He rushed 72 times his senior year. That's his value. That's what makes him a great prospect. Lining him up in the slot is a waste of his abilities. He should start in the backfield on almost every play he plays and motion out from there to make a LB sweat really hard. He should get a fair number of screens out of that setup. He should run the old HB Fly now and then. The way that you get the most out of Austin is to make him very hard to cover because there are no logical candidates to do it out of the formation you set him in.
