I saw someone (it was probably Tim Graham) call him the Ed Reed of safeties... he tries to make big plays and it gets him burned sometimes... but the Jets have 2 good over the top safeties (just keep Rhodes out of man-to-man) so he'll have help when he tries to cut under a route.

Normally you'd think a season with no cap would be a boon to players but, probably to no one's surprise, the union agreed to an agreement with clauses in it that makes it even more advantageous for teams to be more aggressive about cutting/releasing/trading guys. I don't pretend to understand all the machinations but apparently the rules apply differently to different teams depending on how they finished last year so the Jets, as a "final four" team, are under more restrictions than others which cause them to be more likely to cut than sign.

| Nymr83 Mar 07 2010 11:36 PM Re: J-E-T-S 2010!! |

the jets arent allowed to sign free agents until they lose one who gets more money than whatever deal they want to sign. the jets can sign free agents who were not scheduled to BE free agents but were recently cut, for any amount. the jets can also make trades to their hearts content, with no regard for money as there is no cap (though they must be mindful of future salary as a cap is likely to return)

That's the kind of thing I was referring to, one where the player's assoc somehow got themselves into an arrangement where a salary cap is removed and the result is (in some ways anyway) an increase in FA restrictions and a reduction in choices - which, of course, leads to a reduction in salaries. By the time this coming season is over I could see them being the only union in sports (maybe anywhere) that's going to go on their knees to ownership begging them to put a cap back in.
|
| Nymr83 Mar 10 2010 11:49 PM Re: J-E-T-S 2010!! |
|
well lets not forget that football's cap includes a floor. i'm not an expert as to whether cap+floor or no cap + no floor would equal more money spent on payroll (independent of any other changes), but i think both owners and players are happy with the cap+floor arrangement.

|
| Frayed Knot Mar 11 2010 08:29 AM Re: J-E-T-S 2010!! |
|

Well what the players should want is to exist in a more true open-market. Instead, they manage to get themselves in a situation where they don't have real market conditions when there IS a salary cap/floor (plus all those 'franchise' and 'transitional' tags) and maybe in a worse one when there's NOT a salary cap. Not that I have a particular dog in this fight* -- if the player's assoc is going to keep getting themselves into these positions then it's their problem not mine. But this is a union that actually had free agency years before baseball did but then bargained it away and therefore not only didn't have it but couldn't use the same legal means that the ballplayers did to get it because it was a right lost via negotiations rather than something that was illegally denied them all along. And it seems they've been on a losing streak ever since. * my only objection in this is that the media has be so absurdly willing to carry the water for the owners in these issues, virtually parroting the party line about how FA would never work in football because of things like the offensive line needs to practice, work, play, live, eat, sleep, and bond together everyday for at least six years straight before they're truly a cohesive unit and other assorted bullshit.

Oh, d'ymean that Washington guy with the compound leg fracture (the only worse injury for a guy like him-- heavily reliant on cuts and quick acceleration-- would have been a complete ACL or MCL tear)? And honestly, Jones may be better at running through tackles, but he's really not a fantastic rusher, and LT's top speed-- never a strength of his-- seems about at the same level as TJ's. (Jones got chased down a LOT on breakaways over his time here.) Big numbers aside, he really never has been a superlative runner. That line makes a LOT of people look fantastic.

I thought it was at the league offices where said coin-tossing took place sans witnesses -- something which, according to the Jets anyway, took place right after league brass nixed the suggestion from the NYJ to use a coin-flip to determine the 'right' of first home game.

Phil Mushnick suggests in today's column that Woody Johnson was upset about the coin-flip for right to the first game not because he lost it or because no NYJ representative was there but because "he wanted that coin flip to be on pay per view, then the coin sold on 'Jets.com', limit five per customer (certificates of authenticity extra)"

Well, Phil is making that up, but the point is that from an organization that dreamed up the concept of charging people to remain on their waiting list for tickets it's not a far flung concept in the whole money-grab thing. The whole concept of 'Certificates of Authenticity' crack me up. Now I'm not a collector at all so maybe I'm the wrong guy to ask; but if I were interested and believed the company I'm buying from to be legit there's little need for a certificate telling me it is, while if they're crooked enough to sell me forged merchandise they'd have no qualms of forging the CofA too.

They only saved 2M of Faneca's 7M salary with the cut, essentially giving him 5M to walk in a capless year, during which they're opening a stadium. Mays getting snapped up before the Jets' second pick kinda stinks-- he seems a hit-or-miss "big play" guy (think less headhunting Roy Williams), which works fine on a team with the Jets' personnel; he's freer to play centerfield/gamble/make plays with superlative cover talent covering his ass. But why no Chad Jones, or another of a few apparently-solid safetys available there, in the second over the talented project G Ducasse? Unless they know something those of us who watched the last two seasons don't know about LaDainian Tomlinson-- y'know... from the offseason handshaking they did-- the RB situation is muddled, and doesn't make much sense on paper.

The thing about the fans in the actual seats, with the whole pre-game stuff plus security being what it is today, the SB has always herded peeps into their seats well in advance of the game (like an hour or two). Now add that to the longer game due to increased commercial breaks and extended half-times and we're talking maybe 5-plus hours on a plastic seat in a New Jersey February for all those not jammed into corporate boxes.

yeah, the Jets' 1st team defense sucked and Revis would have been playing in the second half of a pre-season game when Dwight Lowery and Maurice Cole got burned for touchdowns in his place. The only BAD thing I can take out of this game is that Nick Folk missed from 46 yards out, and a team built on defense and the running game can't afford to miss those very often.

I have to say that when the Jets were making their run last winter, nobody was more supportive to me about it than G-Fafif (who, for the record, is a devout Giants fan).

There was an arrogance among Giant fans of a certain age in a 'we were here first and it's our city you upstarts' kind of way, one which derived from the arrogance of the NFL as a whole in those days. That's why I thought it was so funny to watch the NFL "celebrate" the AFL's 50th anniversary last year; celebrating a league which they spent almost a decade ignoring, ridiculing, and trying to run out of business. At least when MLB honors the Negro League teams or players they have the decency to do so with a degree of atonement.

Yes, but the key is, how much of that is guaranteed? (Like any other football deal-- thanks, Mr. Upshaw-- it's nonguaranteed. "10 years, 160 million" is nothing more than a big number to stoke egos/announce at a press conference.) Details are hard to come by, but according to guys who root this stuff out professionally, Revis' contract is a complicated deal, one that guarantees about $47 million over 4 years; if he gets through the 2011 season, he will have made $32.5 million in just those two years. (This makes him the de facto highest-paid CB in the league in those two years, as Nnamdi Asomugha earns $16.1M this year and slightly less next year. Still, Asomugha has $46M guaranteed over 3 years, Revis has a little more spread over 4 years... so Asomugha's absurdly-good deal is still better for him.)

"Throw at Toni Braxton?" I generally liked what the Jets were doing on offense. My favorite playcall of the night, though, might be the Dolphins' throwing play-action on 3rd-and-inches in the redzone late in the game. Superficially, it seems ballsy, but it really makes a LOT of all-around sense (the result-- a TD for Miami-- notwithstanding). Throw a safe pass, and if it fails, you've still got another down with which to play... even if your team's QB gets sacked, you're still in FG range.

Sick of it too, but, well... yeah, it is. The workplace issues muddy the whole affair; it's not merely Favre coming on to some chippy, it's a prominent team employee making improper overtures to a lower-level Jet employee (or three, perhaps, if the others are to be believed), with all the implicit pressure of such offers. If the facts are anything close to what's leaked out, one can easily make a case that the recipients of his... um... gifts had reason to fear for their job security/career prospects had they spoken up.

The offense was PUTRID with 3 turnovers, but the defense didn't allow a TD, the first FG came on a short field after the botched fake-punt and the last FG on a short field after being forced to go for it on 4th down. In other words, the D was outstanding. Sanchez is going to have games like that (and hey, Holmes, can you please NOT drop easy ones?), but where did the running attack disappear to?

Do you think it's a sign of how absurdly specialized football has become is that, even though teams carry 53 guys on the roster, not one of the other 52 is remotely competent at kicking PATs when the main guy goes down? I mean is the punter really that bad at it that the coaching staff feels better giving the 300+ lb rookie a try because he claims he used to play soccer in HS? Not that I'm trying to return to the days when the QB also played defensive back or anything but you at least have to train your guys so that the punter can kick and the kicker can punt should an emergency arrive.

The last few drives were , I guess this is the kind of game that they would not have won before.....but it they get to the playoffs and play like this for the first hour in any game they will be done with. The fucking Lions made them look bad for fucks sake. I do find it funny how the commentators talked about this game being a test for the Lions to see how far they have come along, like the Jets have won anything recently..

| HahnSolo Nov 08 2010 10:10 AM Re: J-E-T-S 2010!! |

Well, I guess Suh was the contingency plan. it's not like they had to take a time out to figure out who would go out there. He kicked it well, too. Just barely missed. Me? I would go for two there, figuring that I probably have just as good a chance to convert as I do for my DT to convert an XP.
|
| HahnSolo Nov 08 2010 10:11 AM Re: J-E-T-S 2010!! |

Has there ever been a defensive front like the Jets that consistently bottles up the run, but is completely incompetent at rushing the passer?

Specializing in sports is just such a counterproductive trend. When looking to a player's talents also means exposing his flaws, that's human, that's exciting, and it also allows the truly well-rounded player to stand out as much as he (or she) deserves. Baseball would be a better sport if there were 16 or so players per squad, and that big Detroiit lug would be a folk hero that could run for mayor of Detroit today if that kick was two feet to the left. That said, if there's 53 (really?!) players per squad, it's inexplciable that teams opt not to carry an extra guy that can back up both the kicker and punter. There's one in almost every high school.

I'm fairly certain you can only dress 45 players (plus 1 emergency QB) for an NFL game. I think the 53 includes players on the practice squad, it's not 53 plus a practice squad.

The Lions were up for it and at (a newly noisy) Ford Field. And, with Stafford at the helm, they're really not bad. VandenBosch and that defensive line have played some great games this year, and they've got horses enough to score in bunches against decent defenses.

| Nymr83 Nov 15 2010 07:50 PM Re: J-E-T-S 2010!! |

Detroit's clock management was dumb strategy, but I wouldnt call picking the ball off at the 1-yard line "strategy" any more than Benny Agbayani handing a live ball to a fan with 1 out was "strategy", it was just a bad play by a player who didn't fully realize the situation. Also, theres no gaurantee that Weatherford doesn't pin them inside the 5 yard line and their ensuing drive goes exactly the same.
|
| HahnSolo Nov 16 2010 10:17 AM Re: J-E-T-S 2010!! |

Yeah, I'm kind of on board that the INT was not a really terrible play by the DB. It's not the ideal position to pick the ball off, but at that time of the game I think possession of the ball there is very valuable...and should be his primary thought.

This. He runs on first down, the game's over. Hell, if he runs on third, the game's practically over. Good coaches, like good writers, make decisions. Mangini didn't. He tried to have it both ways right there, and pushed his luck-- the same luck that got him to OT, thanks to Folk's foot-- to breaking.
|
| HahnSolo Nov 16 2010 02:20 PM Re: J-E-T-S 2010!! |

By the mid-second-half, somewhere between his 30th mention of Brady and his 37th mention of Woodhead ("he's so little and gritty-- like a piece of white chocolate with sand in it!"), he started talking about Sanchez's terrible game as part of his "maturation process," then somehow led from that to a discussion of Brady and Derek Fucking Jeter's relative leadership capabilities.

Truth be told, he'd been pretty decent with the decision-making before the last few weeks (seemingly "aggressive" moves like going for it on fourth-and-short near midfield or near the goal-line are actually the smart thing to do, odds-wise; his use of challenges, before taking a Reid-ian turn the last two games, wasn't too terrible either).

There's that, too; but those are fewer and further between than the other stuff, and more glaring. Leave aside the 1-3 times a game where the announcers praise his accuracy-- EVERY pro thrower has a few of those per game, or else he's not a pro QB for long. At least half the time, he's not placing the ball where it should be; even on some completions, he's throwing the ball behind guys, or making players stretch/go down to the ground FAR more often than they should. On a dry day, that hurts; on a wet day, where stuff that isn't on receivers' hands/in their bellies skips past them, it's absolute murder. I'd say that it's a receiver issue, but it seems the case with virtually all of his pass-catchers, and guys like Keller and Cotchery (and Holmes, though he's missed several weeks of practice/installation) have reps for being very, very good about their route running. I mean, he overthrows screens as often-- or more often-- than some scrubs like Delhomme or Anderson do.

| Nymr83 Dec 14 2010 05:19 PM Re: J-E-T-S 2010!! |

thats what was so great about the oft-injured Pennington. No, he couldn't throw downfield, but he was accurate in the short-game, and thats the game the Jets want to play. You never saw Pennington throw one 3 feet over Curtis Martin's head on a screen the way Sanchez did to Greene this past sunday.

As a mostly impartial "When is baseball again?" viewer, Ryan always seems to have too many gimmicks and showmanship stuff going on. "Let's challenge the spot early in the first quarter and try to swing momentum" or "Let's change it up and not defer the coin toss so we can try to get our offense feeling good." (Getting Joe Girardi to teach Sanchez to slide)

I think I've seen them line up as such-- or close to it-- before, under Mangini and/or Edwards and I remember the Titans and Broncos both doing it in somewhat recent games-- in the last 4 years-- I've attended... it's kinda common practice, I gathered. Anyway, as they're out of bounds-- by a ways-- it's legal. (All but the tripping.) Frankly, this account seems a little more plausible* than Myers' aspersion-casting jamboree, in which he insists that Ryan either had to give "the order" or, if he didn't, that he's directly responsible because of the atmosphere he fosters (if you think baseball hackery is bad... you REALLY don't want to read tabloid football coverage). *All the more so since they got some detailed, if general, corroboration from an ex-NFL defender/special-teamer today.

Time's up! Here's my theory: Football is the least transparent of all sports. Television camera angles follow the ball and provide an entertaining perspective, but the game should be viewed, optimally, from the end zone in order to see everything that's happening. In football, more so than in any other sport, what happens away from the ball sets up what the ball carriers are able to do and is thus, more important then what happens near the ball. The end zone angle is the perspective by which teams review games internally. Because not only does too much happen on a football field on any given play, but it happens all over the gridiron, over a wider canvas than can be covered by one camera. The most knowledgeable football journalists concede that whenever they report on a game viewed on television, they generally rewind the game several times before filing their piece. But even if TV were to broadcast its football games from the end zone, most viewers wouldn't have the background necessary to understand much, probably most of what they're watching. Here, I'm including even the most die-hard fanatical fans as well as the media. I think that the game is just too opaque and complex -- strategies seem to rival those used by nation-states engaged in full scale military conquests -- and that without having experienced the game at an organized level, a viewer is incapable of appreciating what ought to be appreciated. Hence the hacky coverage.

I'd say complement, but that's just me. Oh, and I agree with the 'transparency' angle. One of the reasons I've always preferred baseball to football is that baseball's strategies and nuances are all out there in the open for fans to predict, dissect, first-guess, second-guess, etc. But football, for all its complexities, is hidden to even the more studious fans. When the coach's post-game answer to the question about how his offensive line played is; 'I won't know until I look at the game film", it pretty much sums up how insider-ish it all gets. HE knows (or will after reviewing the film) that the QB was supposed to take a 7-step drop instead of a 5-step on that one play in the 3rd quarter and that the left guard pulled instead of pushed, but there's no way that WE will ever know that. And that's the other thing, football is so closed off even to the everyday media who consider themselves fortunate if they can get more as much as 30 seconds of unscripted time with the star because they know they're not going to get even that from a coach who would give up the secrets to U.S. troop movements before he'd reveal the tiniest thing about the sacred game plans. That lack of info is what in turn leads to the endless speculation from talking heads that goes on between about Tuesday and kick-off on Sunday as those claiming either knowledge or clairvoyance attempt to divine the future for the sake of all the bettors who are looking for the slightest bit of knowledge (or alleged knowledge) when filing out their weekly sheets or fantasy teams.

I was picking up Thai food and while waiting at the counter I saw that short snap play. It was an impressive call, getting all the downlineman in an upright position stretching their necks and looking for the ball bouncing around the backfield, if only for a second. You could sense a victory right there --- a demorailzing moment for the Pitt defense and their supporters.

I thought those were both great play calls. The short snap to Tomlinson has some of the advantages of the Wildcat (ball in the playmakers hands faster) without the disadvantage of the defense being 99% sure you are running the ball pre-snap. Oh and that was another good playcalling decision today- no wildcat. I'm tired of it. The whole world knows Brad Smith isn't throwing, and for the one time he has thrown it doesnt make up for all the times it hasnt worked on the ground. Jets ran the ball pretty well today, especially considering the Steelers have the top-ranked run defense in the last 50 years so far. The defense wasn't so hot today though. They allowed 2 very long TD drives and almost a 3rd one at the end. Anyone not named "Revis" is continuing to get beat by receivers while the pass-rush fails to get there.

Basically? They followed the Pats' game plan from a couple of weeks ago. If you're patient and smart about it and you've got a decent line, you can run on this team, which sells out up the middle on obvious run downs virtually 100% of the time (it's the cheating version of run-stuffing, and it's what made the bootleg and a couple of the big bounce-off-tackle runs work). The guards had a great game clearing inside lanes, too.
The pass rush is the problem. Even Revis can't hold coverage for five seconds on every play.

Andy Reid's children are felons. Tony Dungy-- America's f-ing Football Conscience-- had a son who killed himself, with a mountain of circumstantial evidence pointing to the fact that he was a closeted homosexual while alive... and living with a dad who openly crusaded against the immorality of such. I think that a big pile of public shaming, some creatively vulgar signage/chanting, and some bitchy whispers at the supermarket will come the Ryans' way; given the profession that he's in, the success he's had, and his public persona-- very much the embodiment of "fuck it"-- however, this is less likely to blow back as severely as you project. Unlike the Favre thing, this has virtually no newsworthiness, really... but hey, Denton's crew has made their feelings/ethic clear again and again-- this is exactly the sort of thing for which they live.

Yeah, but (1) having sons engagng in boys-will-be-boys behaviors like beating people up and smashing cars and (2) having an open contempt for homosexuals sadly fit within the profile of macho football guys. Having a middle-aged wife who and flouts her kinks and willingness to get around publickly is a different deal. I'm certainly hoping to be wrong.

The same guy who missed open men with unimpeded paths to the end zone at least six times on three different drives. I'm rooting for the kid, but if they're going to beat the Pats, he has to get in rhythm some time before three minutes to go in the half.

that play ended up being meaningless, because we gave the ball back to Peyton anyway, and he scored. the "crux" of the game was the defense holding Colts to a fieldgoal after that, and a 47 year return by Cromartie on the ensuing kickoff. actually, the "crux" was the Jet offense holding the ball most of the 2nd half, grinding out yardage, eating up the clock and keeping Peyton to 2 drives. The best defense really was their offense. All that being said, the kid really pisses me off. He plays like shit for 3/4 and then get credit for rising to the ocasion in the 4th Q. Of course, the Jets would be sitting on a comfy lead if he'd been halfway decent up to that point, rendering heroics unneccesary.

What I could not understand and I am not an expert like some of you is why the Jets didn't appear to blitz the QB in this game.....also the extra yards the Steelers kept picking up was a killer.

Being sparing with blitzes is actually-- generally, at least-- a more favorable defensive strategy, if you can get any pressure at all with your front four linemen; you can put more energy on coverage. And they did do quite a bit of edge rushing with extra defensive backs (like Drew Coleman).

WOW , what an opening to an article... Just as most Mets and Jets fans never gave up on their teams, it is necessary that Pakistanis must not give up on Pakistan. And if the Jets can win the big one this year and the Mets do it later this year, Pakistan also has a chance

if you can't run or stop the run, your not going to win in Pittsburgh in February. This game was lost in the trenches, not on the blackboard.

Honestly, from an unbiased non-Jets fan...they are simply a good team, as you said, and not a great team...yet. Sanchez will get better and the longer the core group plays for that toe-sucking loudmouth, the more they will love fighting for him. They simply weren't the best team in the AFC in either of the past two seasons which is why they haven't won the AFC Championship game. But this was hardly their last chance. I expect the Jets to be competitive in that division, and in the league, for years and years. Don't be angry. The Jets have won as many playoff games in the past three weeks as my team has won in the past 18 seasons.

| metirish Jan 24 2011 12:32 PM Re: J-E-T-S 2010!! |

I gotta wonder though with the famed parity in the NFL if this was the Jets big chance......will this team as is be basically back next year?

You don't get too many chances too stand at the Summit.

Thank you Ashie. You guys are nice :) That was a good game and I was very impressed with the Jets. I watch the Steelers week in and week out and one thing I can say is that their defensive does not get tired, so the Jets earned every point they scored in the second half. The Jets are going to be a good team for a while and I think they will get into the playoffs at least for a few more years We were hoping the Bears would win the first game because we have known their kicker Robbie Gould since he was a cute-little BSC book-collecting kid, but the Steelers Packers Superbowl is going to be a lot of fun and a real blue collar brawl. I am looking forward to it!

If a CBA is reached, the team will have the same core, but be different, maybe vastly so, around the edges. How different, exactly, depends on what kind of a salary cap is reached... but you have to figure that Tomlinson (via release), Taylor, and Cromartie will probably not be back, and at least one of Braylon Edwards, Santonio Holmes, Mangold, Ellis and David Harris won't be, either.
|
| Nymr83 Jan 26 2011 08:22 PM Re: J-E-T-S 2010!! |

Mangold is under contract isn't he?
|
| LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jan 26 2011 08:59 PM Re: J-E-T-S 2010!! |

Not sure where I saw about Mangold or Tomlinson or Taylor... perhaps I was conflating the 2011 FAs with a later list? Anyway... here's what we've got.

Ugh. Get rid of this guy. It's easy to find a corner to give up 100+ yards on a regular basis.

True you don't, but even if you want to say how bad the NFL parity is, you still have the usual suspects, if they're smart and don't have too much turmoil and turnover at the top (GM, coach and obviously a few key players), in the mix year-after-year-after-year. I'm not going to sit here and declare the Jets the next Colts (whom I believe are now the record holder for consecutive years in the postseason at this point, or its pretty darn close), but I'd think this regime has a better chance of accomplishing that sort of goal, and even bettering it, than Jet regimes of the past. FWIW, Did you know...with the exception of his two Giant postseason runs, one of 3 straight years and another of just 2 years (both culminated in the SB championships, first time they missed out on the postseason in the strike year, and the second was his final game as coach), Bill Parcells NEVER took a team to back-to-back postseasons? I bring that up because I heard a story about how outwardly upset Parcells was after the 1998 AFC Championship loss was, and bemoaning the fact that a lot had to go right in order for the Jets to make it back the next year. Showing almost a defeatist attitude before...hell even before the Broncos played in that year's Super Bowl! As opposed to Ryan whom already is all but guaranteeing a spot in the 2011 AFC Championship Game. I think I like that kind of outward confidence better, and feel KAHN-fident that this Jet run may be one of multiple trips to the Summit.

Am I reading this wrong: Parcells never took a team to back-to-back postseasons, except for the two times he did?

Three times. Four teams to the playoffs, two rings, and 11-8 in the post-season. Plus 11 of his assistants went on to head-coaching gigs in the NFL. The guy was a failure, totally.

Yeah I know the circular nature of what I said, and no, not saying Tuna overall was a failure and shouldn't get HOF consideration, it's more to show the type of coach many hold to be the greatest in NY football history was as compared to Ryan in terms of attitude after abrupt ends to seasons and the ability to bring a team back to that level the next season.

I think what it shows is that trying to make a point by comparing the records of one coach who led four different teams across, what, 15 seasons or so, with one who coached one team over 2 seasons is a really, really bad idea.
