Lol Us as jets fans has got to do better... When the offense aint doing good yall blame the QB and the coach everytime... regardless of what he has.. i watched yall (and the rest of the metlife stadium i was there) during the dolphins game bashing Geno...and Matt Simms.. not even caring that his starting WR's were Greg Salas (who the hell?!), David Nelson (before the last couple good games he had), Jeff Cumberland (couldnt catch a cold in a blizzard) .. santonio quit as always (but were gonna keep blaming it on his "injuries"). Come on... WE have to work with what we have.. u wanna blame somebody..blame the GM's from then and even Idzik since u guys are so ready to win every game riight now regardless of the roster. Keenan Allen was available and we chose who? Brian Winters or some shit.. get real... stop blaming rex.. his first two seasons he had evrybody proud to be a fuckin jets fan... lets wait til we have some weapons this year.. and see how it pans out.. if not.. then u can bash Rex, and Geno, And Simms, and Tebow.. and whoever the hell else u guys wanna blame next
The rosters talent has declined across the board too, no? Shouldn't that explain the drop in stats? When you let our roster get to the point it has, it's easy to see a drop in performance. Which is why nobody thought we would win 5-6 games this past season (media). Rex can't do anything more with that problem than he already has, he takes what he has and gets a lot from it. Problem for us there isn't a lot of production to be has to begin with when looking at our depth chart from last year.
figured i would put this here, dunbar,anthony lynn and d.t. have all been re signed to the coaching staff. theres a link in the news window
also all good news! now lets get Westhoff back!! Kris Richard would also be a nice upgrade as DB coach, but not sure a lateral move would make much sense for him..
Since we are going nowhere again this upcoming season Woody will axe RR after the season since the POs again are a far fetched dream of only the most diehard of NYJ fans :sad:
psyched dunbar decided to stay he has done such a great job with rex developing that line its good to see him sticking with the jets young talent. what other coaches are still potential vacancies? st, lb, ol, wr, db?
lateral move would make sense for a guy looking to get out of his mentor's (pete carrol) shadow pettine went lateral and is now interviewing for a promotion after proving his mettle on his own.
Andy Reid wouldn't be able to make a quarterback out of the two bozo the clowns we've been trotting out there the last five years that our GM's have given us. And the defense continues to decline? Oh no, we've gone from 5th to 8th to 11th in three years with absolutely no quarterback play, our best corner going completely AWOL, and being decimated by injuries. The defense is dead tired being on the field the amount of time they've had to the last season. You're really complaining about 11th in total defense as a "decline." Damn, Rex has been real amazing here as coach if that's the case. If we were 20th or 25th then I would absolutely, 100%, respect and agree with your position. But it just doesn't hold up right now LTJF....
Seeing some of the sportsnews clips about Ryan's extension, I noticed a couple of comments along the lines of... Has there EVER been a Coach who got a multi-year extension after his team failed to have a winning season or get in the playoffs three years in a row? I can't recall that ever happening. I understand the Jets might well fire Rex next off season if he does neither, but still the appearance is that Ryan has been rewarded more than he deserves, and that it reflects Woody's love for him. It may work out if they let Marty run the O, and put real resources in the O roster. But there's plenty of ways in which this situation can go south.
It is original, I have posted it a thousand times but it is still my original material and I will continue to do so as long as awful fans continue to post.
My position is that if we're going to keep Rex because of his defensive prowess his defense, which is loaded with talent, should be outstanding. I hold Rex to higher standards on the defensive side of the ball. Our defense has been no where near as good as it was when he first arrived and I am concerned that the league may have caught up to him. Add in the fact that his right hand man left for Buffalo and put out a better defense than Rex and it has to make you wonder a bit, unless you refuse to question Rex at all, which I believe is true of some people. Rex is also at least partially responsible for the lack of talent on the offensive side of the ball. If you don't think the HC has input on the roster then you're fooling yourself. Since Rex's first year when they were pretty much forced to take a QB, his first round picks have been CB, DE, DE, CB, DT. Let's not pretend like Rex has nothing to do with the lack of talent on offense. I also wonder if Rex is the right guy to oversee a complete offensive overhaul, which is what we need. An "amazing" coaching job wouldn't result in no playoffs 3 straight years. Your standards are awful.
The players play hard for him and he gets the most of the roster he has been given. Can you name one coach in this league who would have gotten any one from our rosters from the last three years into the playoffs with what we have for talent? No, you cannot. End of discussion. Now, if this season the team bombs, fire him. As bad as Geno is, if he regresses then there is a problem. If the offense doesn't get better with the weapons we will be able to provide, that is a major problem. And if the young defense fails to improve, that is catastrophic. All those happening would mean the team would be winning seven games at best. That would be inexcusable.
End of discussion???? Really? Who died and appointed you king here? And on the merits if the players were playing so hard for Rex, why did he require a multi-year extension? In fact the logic of saying that they played hard for him in his contract year means he should NOT have been given a multi-year extension. And it remains unanswered that no other coach in his situation got a multi-year extension. And finally I totally disagree with your disconnect on Rex's role in setting the roster. He was involved in setting the roster those years, so your question is ridiculous.
So let me see if I have this correct. The 2013 Jets missed the playoffs by one game. Yet making the playoffs in 2014 is a far fetched dream? Don't you ever get tired of your own act?
agreed but the Champ does not get paid to mutter this nonsense here all the time. he is entitled to his opinion and so do we.
