Said that the 2 choices for OC were Bill Callaghan and Tony Sparano and that Rex wanted TS because he wanted someone 'like him.' Ugghhh..... These decisions made by MT and Rex -- on Tebow, Sparano, Derrkick Mason, ditching Braylon and Brad Smith (3 of the Top 4 WR's from 2010 weren't there in 2011) -- have been blowing up in our face.
Where did you get that from? I saw it as a Rex hire from day one. Tanny doesn't get to hire coordinators, that's the head coach's job.
No matter if we had the 4 best receivers in the nfl, our offense would suck because of Qb play! He can't read the defense before or after the snap, he is very very inaccurate, he's a puss, and he makes the stupidest decisions of any Qb in the history of the league! He will be out of football completely within 5 years! Admit it nacho lovers, he sucks worse than anything that's ever sucked before!
I half-agree here. While Sparano was the perfect answer from outside the organization to run the GnP, I do think that choosing between Sparano and Callahan, Tanny would advocate for Sparano as a last-ditch effort to save his job (assuming the other leading candidate is in-house Callahan).
I don't see how Callahan vs Sparano would save his job. He can also advocate all he wants, but its not his decision.
Todd Haley, Hue Jackson, or Bruce Arians would have injected some life into this offense. Sanchez is still Sanchez no matter what, but Sparano has proven to be totally inept.
I reached that conclusion by: the O-Line failed in 2011 and Tanny was on the hot seat knowing that, without improvement, he would be fired, and that promoting your O-Line coach to Offensive Coordinator would be disastrous if the O-Line failed to improve.
I lol'd at all the post-game coverage. Like the integrity of the NFL was somehow threatened by the abysmal play of the NY Jets. I thought Dilfer was gonna have a stroke. He said as crappy of a qb that he was, he was never as bad as Sanchez. Steve Young basically said Sanchez just makes a shitty team shittier. At least he was objective.
so you think Bill Callahan would have made this offense better? Bill WALSH couldn't do anything w/ this talent.
That's such a dumb comment. Of Course the Jets have no talent and a bad quarterback, but Bill Walsh and to a lesser degree Bill Callahan would have this offense producing. They certainly wouldn't lack complete cohesion and play lost and uninspired out there with him - that would be a step in the right direction.. If it was just a talent thing, we'd see an offense that is inspired and creative - albeit failing to finish or produce at a high level because of talent limitations. Where's Sparano's great track record anyway that would give him a pass for this year? Leading a similar terrible offense in Miami?? I'm sure he suffered from a lack of talent there too. Offensive Coordinators are supposed to make the limited talent they have - WORK. They are supposed to coach up bad players, or at the very least create an offense that plays hard and is organized. - - Sparano swings and misses with all of these. He was a terrible hiring and deserves to lose his job. I'd send them all packing - Tannenbaum, Rex Ryan, Sparano, Pettine and possibly Sanchez although that may be hard to do with his salary, but I'd start fresh with new blood and a new philosophy. The NFL is changing and the Jets are behind the times....
I must have missed all the great Bill Callahan offenses where we would have been so much better w/ him. Our O sucks b/c there is not enough healthy talent. It's as simple as that. you deserve the Rich Kotite era, rex had this tam in the playoff hunt despite all that has gone wrong, he's done an amazing job here and you want him out.
The Jets were never in the playoff hunt. Because Dallas won this weekend I realize ppl got excited....but there was no way this team was going to make the playoffs with the offense we have. After watching them play against good teams and even the dregs like JAx and Arizona...saying this team was "in the hunt" is as absurd as it gets. This is an awful football team.
This team has less talent on offense than any team since the 2005 debacle. Even if Holmes hadn't gotten hurt it's at about the same level. It's a lifeless offense with no playmakers, no ability to control the line of scrimmage and a misfiring QB who makes both of the above factors worse.
Watching this season, as much as I think Holmes is a dog...it really makes you wonder if he was 1000% right in terms of telling Sanchez to F off. His play is literally embarrassing. ESPN was laughing at this organization last night on national television. Ive seen Nagle, Brister, Mirer....last night was the worst Jet QB performance Ive ever seen. Just zero regard for the football.
The Sparano hire had rex's finger prints on it from the begining. He wanted a ball controll smash mount offense. Callahan runs a Zone blocking scheme which relies on movement and athletic lineman as much as anything. Tony is running a man blocking scheme which relies on power at the point of attack, typically bigger lineman, in the attempt to tire out the Defensive front while limiting mistakes by runnign a ton. This also points to the insistance of a back like Green who will wear down defenses. Its no mistake that we started ripping off bigger runs in the fourth. We intend to punish the defense. The problem at this point lies in a QB who refuses to take care of the ball. Mark has all the physical tools one could want in a QB, but his problems are all above his shoulders. The Tebow experiment, which ever level of management its coming from, has to go. Any momentum we had moving the ball before that series was killed. The entire offense fell apart after that. It is right now one of the biggest jokes in the NFL, perhaps outside of the disaster that is KC. Rex is getting what he wants out of Tony and the running game. Untill we find a QB that is not so turn over prone the offense will continue to be a joke.
