the guy went from borderline psycho with f-bombs every other word on Hard Knocks to a timid, “positive” company man What the hell happened — that BS happened with the Cardinals fumble and he looking around unsure if he wants to challenge or write an email, Rodgers literally telling him he should get pissed and do something. The ref comes over, politely explains how they fucked us over and Ulbrich says thank you sir and we move on. WTF
I'm beginning to question if you'll ever connect with the actual reality of the situation. Nothing would have been accomplished by keeping Saleh other than delaying the inevitable. An extra win or two to maintain the consistency a few continue to clamor for is futile. This season was done before started - there is no future until major change takes place. Every dollar less spent towards the cap this year and next is a dollar that can be pushed forward into 2026 which is the earliest time the team could have a reasonable expectation of improvement. That won't happen without completely cleaning house and that cannot happen too soon. I've put over sixty years into being a fan and like Leon Hess, I'm getting old - I want to see wins. Not just one or two meaningless extra wins a year, I want to see winning seasons, playoffs and maybe even another championship. Not that I care in the slightest what you question but I watch the games every week and cannot for the life of me see what inspires you to defend the likes of Saleh, as if he was the savior we now have lost.
I wonder what the standard is? "They were not prepared to play. We didn't execute even close to our standard and that falls on my shoulders, 100%. I didn't do a good enough job getting these guys ready." - Jeff Ulbrich
To specify I wasn't questioning whether your constant howling at the moon cared about whether *I* believed you watched the games. I was more left questioning whether, and in the event you actually did watch games, you even really care that firing Saleh made this defense and our overall chance to win games in 2024 worse. The lack of any acknowledge of that being a bad thing in what you wrote back there just further suggests you don't btw.
Was he trying to get fired? What organization would let the head coach back in the building after such an admission? Besides the jets of course.
Pretty similar to what happened with Saleh too. They were both in over their heads and became timid shells of their former selves. On the flipside is Campbell who is pretty much the exact same guy he always was in Detroit.
You just don't get it. I never howl at the moon - I discuss the state of the New York Jets. I do not make excuses for them. To answer the one clear question you ask - no, I do not care in the slightest that the firing of Saleh may have made any part of the team even temporarily worse, even if it possibly caused the loss of a couple of meaningless games this year I am looking to what it can mean to the future. You have now repeated two different versions of the same incomprehensible sentence regarding what you care about, what you believe and what you question; would you care to try for number three? And, you are really bad about determining what my writing here "suggests."
THAT'S A SPICY MEAT-A-HEAD!! Ok not spicy at all. They just used that generic Applebee's seasoning on this one.
His name came to mind since he led the team that week Saleh had Covid way back and actually had them looking reasonably decent and got a win. I mean, he's got as many wins as the acting Head Coach of the NYJ as Ulbrich does. That's the only reason, though. There's nobody on this staff that's fit to lead this team. That's why I abandoned that idea and am now firmly in the camp of bringing back the 83 year old Tuna.
I didn't. He's the same as Saleh, a defensive minded head coach. His unit is killing the team in penalties and they can't do fundamental things like tackling properly anymore. It was a stupid move by Woody and only made the team more discombobulated because Ulbrich has to now focus on coaching the entire team instead of fixing the issues with the defense.
Took this dummy to week 11? Jeff Ulbrich says the Jets will return to fundamentals of tackling this week and be in pads. He also did a tackling presentation for the entire team this morning.
Kind of like the Yankees going back to teaching their outfielders how to catch a fly ball when they're down to one game left in the World Series.
To my untrained eye the biggest problem the Jets coaches have is they have no balls. I may be oversimplifying it but that's how I see it. The 'offense' they are running is a abomination. How they can look themselves in the mirror? The Colts beat the Jets today because their coaches allowed their QB to attack the Jets defense. Their playcalling was aggressive, they played to win. And it pains me to say this it could be Rodgers too. I know he's hanging in there in this lost Jets season unlike other players so that's worthy of respect. To me it seems like he's ok with the playcalling dinking and dunking, handing off. This coaching & playcalling is so bad I think the Jets could fire them all right now and possibly improve. It can't get any worse than what we're seeing. My solution would be to allow Rodgers to call his own plays but I don't know anymore. I wonder if his heart is in this.
To me that's the most aggravating thing watching these Jets. No balls, no aggressiveness, no killer instinct. What are they afraid of? They have Wilson on the outside today after a few balls thrown his way early on I barely heard his name mentioned the rest of the game. They traded for Adams. For what? What are they doing? They hardly throw the ball to the WRs, nothing downfield, no deep posts or deep sideline like the pass Richardson threw on the first play on the Colts game winning drive. The Jets problem isn't the talent. These coaches have no balls and yes at this point in his career Rodgers may be ok with that. I don't know. He sure seems calm in this system.
