How I Would Fix the Jets
by GangGreenMag on Nov 18, 2011 10:13 AM EST
Email
PrintWith that loss, things start to get very murky for our playoff hopes. There is still a chance we can pull out a miracle run, but I'm not counting on it. We need help in a lot of places, from the coaches on down to the QB. Where should I start?
Coaching:
The Best way to send a message is to fire someone. The 1st person on the chopping block is Mr. Shotty. This offense has gotten worse the last 3 years. This falls squarely on Shotty's shoulders. Shotty's firing will send a clear message to the offense that things need to change or this is what happens. I don't think the Jets should go outside of the organization for his replacement. I would look to our O-line coach, Bill Callahan.
QB:
Mark shouldn't get off scott free. I don't want him fired. I want him pressured. With only Brunell in there to challenge Mark's job, there is no pressure. We can change this right away by drafting another QB. The guy I would look for is Nick Foles out of Arizona. He is a large pocket passer, with a big arm. Depending on how bad we finish, he should be available in the 2nd round. His presence on the team will put pressure on Sanchez to either perform or ride the pine. I like the idea of getting a vet QB instead of drafting one. If the money is right, than why not. My pick would either be Shaun Hill or Jason Campbell: Suggestions by John B/Timmaht
OLB/DE:
This is still our biggest need going into 2012. Our pass rush is almost as embarrassing as our offense against the Broncos. Getting to the QB is key to taking this D to a new level. We might have 1st dibs on a pass rusher depending on our record. A 1st round pick going for Courtney Upshaw would be my recommendation. He has the size to do a decent job against the run as well as rush the passer. I wouldn't mind doubling up on this position later in the draft.
Safety:
Our safeties can't cover a jar of jam. We need help here desperately. This position can be taken care of in either the draft or free agency. For the sake of going with experience, I would get a free agent replacement. Two guys that jump out at me are Thomas DeCoud (Falcons) and Charles Godfrey (Panthers). Either of these guys would be a major improvement over Eric Smith.
TE/WR:
If Plaxico is let go after this year, we will be in the hunt for another big man. I would keep him around just for the sake of keeping some familiarity in the receiving core. If Plax does leave, there are a number of big guys in the draft we could nab. One guy that I like is Marvin McNutt out of Iowa. If Plax stays, we shouldn't be content with the guys we have for Mark to throw to. We can add another big TE to the mix in case Our guys don't think Cumberland will make it back. If this is the case, the TE of Stanford, Coby Fleener, would compliment Keller wonderfully.
RT:
The Hunter experiment should be coming to an end soon. It hasn't worked out well at all. We can actually save some money by cutting Hunter at the end of the season. I wouldn't leave Vlad alone at RT though. I would draft a guy like Mike Ryan out of UConn. He has put together a decent year, and could be a sleeper for the mid rounds. We should also pick up some vet help at this position. A guy like Barnes out of the Raiders could step into that position.
Wrap up:
Firings:
Shotty
Promotions:
Bill Callahan I like the idea of only making Callahan the interim OC. If things change than great, if not, we should look outside the organization at year's end.
Cuts:
Wayne Hunter , Eric Smith
Resign:
Sione Pouha, Jim Leonhard, LaDainian Tomlinson, Robert Turner, Plaxico Burress, Nick Folk, Brodney Pool, Aaron Maybin, Donald Strickland, Patrick Turner
Let Go:
Bryan Thomas, Kevin O'Connell, Mark Brunell, Jamaal Westerman, Cole
Free Agents:
Thomas DeCoud, Khalif Barnes, Shaun Hill
Draft:
1st: Cortney Upshaw DE/OLB
2nd Marvin McNutt WR
3rd Colby Fleener TE
4th: Mike Ryan OT
5th: Shane Skov LB
6th: Kyle Martens P
7th: Greg McCoy CB

sounds good
think we need to let LT go depending on how his season ends and get some more competition at RB for greene to play off of
agreed. mcknight can do what LT does in terms of agility and quickness. but as we saw last night, a backup power back is needed in case greene goes done.

Nice breakdown. Although, we have a young QB, I'd pick up someone
that would nudge Sanchez more definitely. You may call me crazy for saying this, but Chad Henne. He’ll be available next year and has won his share of QB battles. A rookie might not push a QB, one that knows it might be his last chance will. Plus I like the idea of grooming McElroy, the kid has skills, lets get a QB Coach and OC that can make that efficient.
Also, you can’t resign Nick Folk twice as much as you want to, hah.
Chad Henne might actually be too obvious of a slap in the face to Sanchez but,
at this point I feel he’s being too coddled by the organization, similar to Romo in Dallas.
Honestly, I think picking up Henne is a great idea
Just enough to nudge Sanchez to get his s&%t together. I think Henne has skills that the league hasn’t seen yet, and it would be an F-U to Miami for the Pennington debacle.
In regards to this post overall, I think it sounds very good. Only exception would be to fire Cavanaugh as QB coach (not a big deal but I think he should go and let the new OC hire his own guy).
Proud to root for the Jets, Mets, and Islanders!!!

We should have never let Edwards walk
Mark was comfortable with him and if I remember correctly he and Holmes were our 1-2 punch at the end of games last year. As the cap space we had the year proves we could have paid him what he wanted, but it is clear we did not say test the waters and come back to us. Compared to last year Holmes has been a non factor this year and Mark has digressed. We no longer pull out games in the last 2 minutes like we did last year. We miss Edwards and what he brought to our game.
I agree
edwards was a big target like plax BUT didnt push off on every play. I think i’ve seen more o pass interference by plax then all the recievers last year
on the flip side
Plax is a better blocker. Braylon would always be called for holding and blocks to the back.

I’d prefer we get a proven vet to push Sanchez, the kind of guy we can plug in and know we can get competent play from if necessary.

The only problem with that is, we are going to be a little tight on money. A proven vet will cost a lot more than a rookie not in the 1st round. There will be Vince Young, Dennis Dixon, Jason Campbell, Shaun Hill.

I personally like the rookie we stole in the 7th round.
McElroy needs to be evaluated more before we bring in another rook.
McElroy would get killed behind that O-line

So, would any other QB we bring in?
We should be fielding a 4 QB team at this point. But as for pushing Sanchez, we have the rookie heat, we need some vet heat.
I agree.
I am a Sanchez fan but I think he performs better under pressure from Rex.

Fuck Callahan
we need to go outside the organization for a new offensive coordinator and QB coach. Lets get Tom Clements the QB coach for Green Bay as our OC or someone else from a team with a prolific offense. Callahan is not a brilliant offensive coach and we need to do better.
Give Sanchez a guy like Clements and if he fails we can go out and find a new QB at that point. I bet Sanchez lights it up if we hire a guy like Clements and take the shackles off him and let him throw the ball downfield.
Yeah, no more people chummy with Rex either.
Baltimore followers are fine if they were the top tier ones, not the overachievers who come back down to Earth here, but walk away like bandits.
Plus
our O-line has been really inconsistent this year, even when Mangold is in. Callahan however takes little heat. I think Schotty has to go, but the failings of Schotty are (I think) not entirely his fault:
a)I think the line has increased Mark’s happy-foot syndrome that has made him worse as a passer.
b)I think a lot of the emphasis on short passing is because Ryan wants to play more conservatively and somehow incorrectly thinks this leads to fewer turnovers.
If your like stinks, ground-and-pound is just another name for “3 and out.” If you can’t protect, your young QB rushes his throws. If you insist on keeping the passing game 20 yards and in, your inaccurate QB throws too many pick 6’s, and teams sit on short routes.

It's just crazy seeing a team have one, maybe 2 good offensive quarter in 7 games

And it's apparent last year if you go back and watch the games,

Outside the organization
I realize I keep repeating the same point but hire an OC from an organization that knows how to play offense. Fuck Cavanagh and Callahan leave the organization for our new coordinator and QB coach.
It makes sense, but at years end.
As much as I want Shotty gone, getting a whole new scheme and terminology is impossible right now. Plus, we will have better options at years end.
If Schotty is released now, it would send a message to the rest of the team
Maybe it will light a fire under their asses
"Burress telling Cason to hold his dick 3 times was awesome" -J-Nasty
I think the same message is sent if you cut E. Smith too.
But, I’d be fine with him gone as long as we kept the system the same, because it’s too tough to change mid season. The system = The terminology, blocking schemes, reads. Schotty gone = New Playcalling, Identity, and coaching competance.
I wouldn't cut Smith midseason
We need him for the time being. At the end of the season, we can save over $2 Million by cutting him.

by GangGreenMag on Nov 18, 2011 11:38 AM EST up reply actions
I'm just saying cutting him is better then cutting Schotty right now.
But yeah, they both need to go by seasons end. I just think Smith should be benched until then. Actually Schotty should be benched too, lets let fans select the plays online and by text message. Even if we put a live poll on TV, the opposing D would still know the same amount of the plays that will be called.
The system can stay the same for now
I just think guys would execute better if they realized asses are on the line
"Burress telling Cason to hold his dick 3 times was awesome" -J-Nasty
No question. And actually any accountability that is shown will
help this team in the long run. Right now, the culture in the locker room seems sloppy, reckless, and completely undiscipline, much like the product on the field. So Schotty, Smith, Sanchez, Hunter, Rex, or all of the above should all be taken into a room and made to watch breakdowns of every play of that game ad nauseum then one of them needs to be cut immediately after that happens.
they tried to send that message by trading mason
it worked for three weeks so maybe we just need to start cutting starters every three weeks and we’ll win the super bowl
Mason was not in a prime position.
He was basically baggage we added on because he was available. Smith is actually in a position as a starter and is underperforming everyone’s lowered expectations of him.
I think if the purpose of another qb is to push Sanchez
I wouldnt use a 2nd round draft pick on it, McElroy would be able to push him enough for now. I like the ideas about a vet RT, safety but I wouldnt mind seeing a WR being slevetd kind of high in the draft…. A big guy like plax because the way I see his contract talk going is either he wasn’t good enough for a decent deal so he shouldn’t get one or or he does deserve one and that it’s going to be to much of a contract for a WR of his age and injury history
Forget this season
at this point they can just wait till the season ends. I want no part of Callahan or anyone else from within this organization as the next coordinator. Tom Clements the QB coach of Green Bay who Aaron Rodgers absolutely loves would be a great hire. We MUST hire a new coordinator from an organization that has a great offense or things will be the same next season.
Lets remember we really havent had a good offense since 1998 because we have always had terrible coordinators like Hackett and Schottenheimer. We must get this hire right and that means leaving the organization.
Everybody seems to love this Tom Clements guy, but I’d rather have a guy with a long resume as a successful coordinator. The “He was Rodgers’ QB coach” argument sounds a bit too much like the “He developed Drew Brees,” rationale behind our last OC hire.

This year they are sucking and that is not up for debate, but there was major success for two years prior to that. We can’t start being reactionary now that we are in a slump. That is where most people make poor choices.
That being said I’ve hated the BS that our OC gives us each week for a long time now.
Westerman is like Maybin. They are purely pass rushers.
We don’t need two of those, especially if we draft some new blood that can both pass rush and defend the run.

Throwing this out there:
Charles Godfrey has been the worst safety over the past couple of seasons, as rated by Pro Football Focus. Not saying they’re always correct in their ratings, but if he’s considered the worst in the league, then he’s most likely at least “below average”. Don’t think he’d be the answer.

Rodgers
swears by the guy and gives him so much credit for his development. I actually havent heard Clements name mentioned by anyone other than myself. We need to get a guy who has been around a great offense and Clements is one of those guys.
If we can get a proven guy like Norv Turner if he is fired then great but I want no part of the average retread types that are all over the league. I personally have no problem taking a chance on a guy like Clements because he could bring over the Green Bay offensive system and he has shown that he is great at developing QBs.
I would actually have liked to have Josh McDaniels as OC last year. He’s great with developing QBs. Just keep him away from personnel decisions.

there's a real lack of talent in WR until they got Brandon Lloyd

We will soon.
It just won’t happen until the we’re realistically eliminated from the playoffs (or statistically). I mean, this is assuming it does happen. Really, at this point, the worst thing we can do is eek into the playoffs. We get a worse draft pick and people can say, “Well, we made the playoffs so we must be doing something right.”
Even if we do make it and do what we did the last two years it won’t matter. This offense is simply not good enough to go all the way. Another AFC Championship game is probably rock bottom, ironically. In the long term it’s going to hurt more than anything. We desperately need some big changes to our offense. Our defense needs some tweaking, but I think their inconsistency has more to do with frustration and having to shoulder the team more than anything else.
They gave up 10 points last night. That’s a good night. Had the TD come on any drive but the last one, no one would be complaining about the D at all.
With the exception of the safety position, the defense will be fine
If the offense ever steps and stops exposing the defense, this team would be unstoppable.

Dunno if Sanchez needs competition...
And I don’t say this because I don’t think he needs to improve. I say this because if a guy isn’t motivated to improve on his own I don’t want him as a QB and I really don’t think Sanchez is in that category.
Does he get a free pass? I really don’t know. I just keep watching San Francisco do fine with Alex Smith. Our offense as a unit has no identity, no confidence and plays flat. It’s not new either. Schotty is basically a known quantity at this point.
Get a new OC, see how Sanchez does. If he’s still horrible after that, draft a new QB. Sanchez doesn’t have to be a Pro Bowler (but I seem to be in the minority crowd that thinks he can). I’d love to see a fairly balanced offense that takes shots down the field regularly. I mean, if you’re going to “waste” a down, go big.
Even if we do decide to get a new QB, we still need a new OC.
Well Rex says Mark is in NY as long as he's there
So he’s standing by his QB, I think Schotty is going to be the odd man out

I'll be up, up, and away, up, up, and away 'cause in the end they'll judge me anyway, so whatever.

I think the best message that Rex can send is to relieve Schotty of the play calling
Other coaches have done that. Schotty still set s up the game plan, with more input from Rex and whoever he chooses to actually call the plays if he’s not going to do it (Callahan, Cavanaugh). That sends a message to everybody, puts Schotty on notice he is gone, tells the players it’s up to them to execute or they’ll be gone, and still maintains continuity with the same offensive terminology and plays for the rest of the year.
It needs to be done NOW, while there is still a hope – albeit remote – of making the playoffs, so as to have the most impact and to let everyone know he’s not giving up on the season.
This would be a decent way to go. Otherwise, I’d serve notice to Schotty he’s on thin ice, and give him the next game to change his ways. If the Jets are eliminated from the playoff hunt, I’d then fire Schotty, promote Callahan as interim Off. Coord. to give him a shot, and hunt for a new guy in the offseason if he doesn’t impress majorly. At that point, I also might bench Hunter and Smitty, and allow the backups to show us what they’ve got, if anything.

How I would fix the Jets....
Put Schotty in a room with his playbook along with Mulligan, Eric Smith and a big box of C-4 and then blow it up.
Let the rest of the entire team, staff and Front Office watch and say “You’re Next” then walk away.
Tom Clements, GB qb coach for new OC.
If callahan leaves the o-line, we will be screwed more next year than this year. this isnt to take anything away from him as a coach, but i think he is better served fixing our o-line and developing some new talent other than sucass for the right side of the line.
