Im not asking to run it 3 straight times. We should run then pass, mix it up. Now the same thing over. Hell another problem was when we threw on first down and it didnt convert. We NEVER ran on 2nd down, we would pass and then it would go from 2nd and 10 to 3rd and 10. If you run on 2nd down, you can make 3rd down a lot easier.
That wasn't going to happen. When we actually lined up and ran the goddaman ball (not including Sanchez scrambles) we averaged 4.4 yards per carry ... and actually 4.6 if you just look at the Greene and LT carries without those two gimmicky end-arounds that gained a total of 5 yards between them. The point is ... Helmet on helmet, we were blowing them off the line of scrimmage and getting chunks of yardage. There's no reason to think they were suddenly going to stuff us in that spot.
This is fucking bull shit. We were down 3 points and were running the ball on the Giants piss poor defense for 5-6 yards a pop. Shotty is a scum bag and should be beaten in the ass with wet mops.
The Jets starting 11 on O is a talented group. Do they have weaknesses? Yeah they do. All offenses do. But time after time we see play design,play calls and overall offensive philosophy that just seems to be over thought and simply put "Cute". Derrick Mason proved to be a poor signing and was turning into a locker room cancer. But I recall a quote he made about this offense that seems dead on. He said "Nothing can be simple in this offense". I believe he is onto something. You see offense's all over the league...even bad one's..that make things look easy. NOTHING is easy w/ this offense. Everything has a funky formation,last minute shift or some last second hot read that causes miscommunications, players thinking instead of reacting, & play calls that kill all rythym and momentum the offense has on a given drive or half of football for that matter. This offense doesn't need to outsmart people all the time. Line-up...play hat on hat ground and pound,get the ball to the playmakers and put up points. I believe Sanchez IS a good QB when he doesn't have to think, but rather is just reacting. It doesn't appear he will ever have the opportunity to be that player under Schotty.
Heard a Giants player on the radio the other day... Question: "Wow you guys looked real good - Any reason why the Defense played so much better this week?" Player: "Well, we really forced the Jets into certain situations where they had to pass" For the next hour i repeated "Forced the Jets" under my breath... REALLY.... YOU ####N FORCED THE JETS.... JESUS... now the Giants think they're good.... how did they force anything did they drug Schotty?
Rex: the Jets had to throw the ball 64 times because I am a weak head coach unwilling to assert myself to change the team to fit the vision I have for it.
This is a great point. Three weeks ago the Jets ran a simple slant and go to Santonio Holmes and got a huge play out of it. Last week the Jets passed the ball 64 times and that was a play that was not run once in the onslaught. What kind of moron sees a play go golden once and then never calls it again, even when he is calling passes out of his ass the whole game?
The other problem is all the idiotic false start penalties we're getting on offense. Our offense has no margin for error, any 5 yard penalty seems insurmountable.
I don't think we would've been stuffed. I think we would've gained a first down on one or two runs, they way we were moving on the ground. I think once we got some momentum going in that regard the Giants would've been on their heels. Given where we were on the field, (50), the Giants had too much to prepare for to be able to load the box and stuff the run. I think we would've been able to get inside the 20 rather quickly and then who knows, but that's just me. One thing I do know, we played right into the Giants hands w/three crappy pass plays!
Only because they didn't work. Look , I agree Shotty's offense has been mind boggling , but I know whatever he calls if it doesn't work fans will always say he should have done the opposite. Going into the Giants game I felt the way to beat them was with the pass and you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who didn't think we couldn't take advantage of their Lber's and secondary.
That's why you make adjustments during the game. And sorry...there's no good reason to call 60+ pass plays in a close game unless all your running backs are hurt. It wasn't like the pass game was working well. It wasn't.
I'm gonna have to stop you right there. We played the Pats, twice, who happen to have the worst D in the league and lost twice. I don't understand WHY anyone would think that we would take advantage of the Giants weak secondary when we couldn't even do the same against New England.
I'm not just saying it because the passes didn't work. I did think the Jets would try to exploit the Giants secondary before the game, but you have to adjust and go with what works during the game. At that point, the run game was very effective on first and second down. Why go away from it? When I watched the game, I was thrilled that the game had turned so decisively in the Jets favor and I was expecting a poised, well-executed drive featuring the ground game. ( I should've known better) I even said to my sons, no incomplete dink passes, yet that's just what we got. In fact, you could predict that an incomplete pass on first down would shut down whatever momentum the Jets had, because you knew they would pass on 2nd & 3rd as well. If you chose to run the ball, you eat up the clock with the run, so that if you score, Giants have to come back under pressure A well-executed drive could have eaten up at least 4 minutes minutes, and probably caused the Giants to use some time -outs.
So because we lost to a bad NE defense we should not attack the weaker part of the Giants D . Instead they should have run the ball and play to the Giants strength on D.
the strength of the giants defense is not stopping the run. it's their pass rush. yeah, you can try to attack their weak secondary, but then you are exposing yourself to their pass rushers. it's almost the complete opposite strategy of our defense.
