The funny thing is especially offense its a new start, even Wayne Hunter went over to Holmes and told him clean slate, and fresh start... But I guess our designer glasses wearing qb coach didn't get the memo that a new offense means a new start for everyone. For ex reporter asks, " coach what was the issue with Sanchez and his turnovers?" Designer glasses: That was last years offense and this year I'm excited abt working with a new coach and offense. That's simple if he wanted extra brownie points he would've said that the turnovers did occur just like his touchdowns. Turnovers occur as a team and do touchdowns no 1 man is responsible for a win or a loss. Or he could have said... It was Schottys fault, that guy called better defensive plays than offensive, thank god I'm here, and he is not.
Call me crazy, I'd rather have this opinion based on years of observation in the papers than the opinion based on selling subscriptions by pimping Tebow. Sanchez is going to surprise people even though he shouldn't, and it's all because ESPN can't stop talking about Tebow. He's an above-average QB and he's going to have an above-average year to go with it. That sounds pretty anti-Tebow, but I just want to clarify it's really anti-media. It's not entirely his fault they follow him around like a lost puppy.
Cavenaugh is the QB coach. It's his resposibility to identify the problems with the QB and work on making sure they're corrected. It would be irresponsible of him to wipe the slate clean each year and say " last years mistakes are last years mistakes". I, for one, find it refreshing, especially on a Rex coached team, that MC spoke honestly and said Sanchez has some things to correct and if he corrects them, he's gonna be fine. Looking at each year as a fresh start is fine, but not looking back so as to identify and correct mistakes is just plain irresponsible. Especially if the guy wants to keep his job.
I often feel like I have clicked on profootballtalk rather than nfl.com when I go on there now - its the worst kind of sensationalist crap that seem to go up there - its like they want to be ESPN
The problem is that Rex is loyal to his Coaches to a fault. A player? meh. He would still have Schotty there if up to him. He kept Cavanaugh because of his Raven ties. So, here is to hoping someone in the FO fires Cavanaugh and that Chad Pennington is brought in to develop our 2 starting QBs.
the problem is it doesnt matter what is said - all you will get is the negative spin/sensationalist headlines: Sanchez's poor decisions picked apart by coach - NY Daily News Mark Sanchez must make smarter choices, says Jets QB coach - NFL.com Jets quarterbacks coach faults Sanchez for “poor decision-making” - PFT How does any of this help the Jets?
I don't quite get what is so bad aqbout the article? He mentioned not all the INts were his fault(obviously) and that the ones that were he had to make better decisions. I'm confused what is so outrageous about that statement? Should he lie and say "keep doing what you're doing!"?
My opinion is that Sanchez' biggest flaw is making stupid decisions. He really needs to clean that up.
At what point does Sanchez have to accept accountability for his actions? Sanchez failed down the stretch, if Mark isn't capable of admitting that, then he won't develop into the guy we want him too. I personally would want Mark (privately in the locker room) to personally take responsibility for the failures of the team late in the year. It isn't all his fault, but he didn't perform well enough.
Maybe Rex should have been the one to say this but it needed to be said. Did any of you watch the last game against Miami last year when Dirty threw 2 picks to the same DL? If something looks like shit, smells like shit, and tastes like shit....you call it shit. Change the messenger but the message is spot on.
Maybe the coaches know something we dont. That is why they were hell bent on another Qb . Maybe Sanchez cant get it. Mybe they are thinking if he screws up a dumbed down offense we will be covered . None of us know the truth really. He did not say a thing none of us did not know already , Sanchez has the ability but makes dumb mistakes. I put him in the same boat as Romo at times they look great and other times they leave you screaming for bubby brister. Well maybe not that bad.
The entire offense was on vacation if you didn't notice. But I have no issues with what the QB coach said. He needs to stop trying to make something out of nothing. I think it's Sanchez's primary issue and the only true pressing issue that he needs to get better at ASAP. But QB coaches shouldn't be running their mouth to the media. Have they learned nothing? This should of stayed inside the locker room.
nfl(dot)com was fishing to get one of their articles 'hits' and Zack took the bait. QB controversies are the media's low hanging fruit and the Jets' fruit is hanging the lowest.
What exactly did Cavanaugh say that was wrong? Sanchez did cause a ton of turnovers with poor decision making, and he does need to cut down on them if the Jets have any chance of getting back to the playoffs. Telling the truth isn't throwing anyone under the bus, it's telling the truth. I don't want to see the Jets turn into the Isles, who have a ready-made list of excuses for every last place finish. If Sanchez is so fragile that he gets damaged by hearing Cavanaugh say "stop throwing so many picks," then we're completely fucked no matter what.
Looks like the coaches took to heart the impression after the fallout of last year that Mark has been cuddled and is not focused enough. Mark has trouble reading underneath zone coverage and locks onto receivers: if the first option is not there, he immediately gets scared and looks for the checkdown. In critical moments, he forces the ball into coverage and shows a lack of preparation in terms of properly reading the defenses and seldom goes through all of his progressions. Being careful with the ball sounds like something Tebow is inherently good at. The gloves are coming off, and the leash is shorter than currently advertised. I believe that Mark is being replaced. Actions speak louder than words, and looks like a harbinger of a decision (by management) that has already been made, imo.
