Biggest Off-Season Move is Internal Change

Rex Ryan is a terrific coach. He does it the right way, and he doesn’t throw guys under the bus. Remember last year the Jets were on hard knocks? Do you remember guys coming in late and eating cheeseburgers on the sideline in practice? Do you remember Rex cursing them out for being dumbasses and unprofessional? Do you remember him reaming them for playing and having fun, but also honoring the game of football?
Why would you think a guy that is having team meetings for the way a team behaves in practice, not say anything to guys for the way they behave during the season, on or off the field. The answer is he wouldn’t. Rex has probably been in Holmes ear, and Burress’s ear all year. He has given his offensive coordinator the freedom, the rope, the room, the leverage to coach his players the way he sees fit. Rex is a smart guy, he wouldn’t be a head coach if he wasn’t. He won’t make public comments on what he’s done with Shottenheimer, or anyone else on this team, but don’t believe he has let players just do what they want. If anything, a brief glimpse into the locker room on hard knocks showed you that.

Maybe if Rex stopped telling his team they’re going to be Super Bowl champions, they wouldn’t be going so crazy pointing fingers after every loss. I also don’t buy the talent aspect. This was a flawed team, nowhere as talented as they thought they were. No pass rush, awful safeties, no depth on defense, and that was the strong part of the team! All pros on the O line, teamed with a non NFL caliber Wayne Hunter. Slow wide receivers with a QB who is flat out dumb. Special teams were led by two lousy kickers and punt returners that can’t catch the ball. Very overrated. As bad as they were, the coaching and GM were worse. Tanny needs to improve this off season or he’ll be next year’s Schotty.

If we decided to trade down to say No26, then the traditional draft value chart would mean a No58 would need to be offered. Our 2nd rounder is No48 and our 3rd rounder is No80

With the draft being deep in such positions as WR, S, RT, and 3-4 OLB we could trade down and fill all four needs by the end of Day2

No26
No48
No58
No80

I’m pretty sure this team’s been over achievers under Rex Ryan.

The Jets really did this to themselves. IMO when they lost Shaun Ellis, Kris Jenkins, JCo, and Woody, the Jets lost their leaders, I’d even put Braylon in the list. Braylon always let his playing do his talking. These guy’s where the heart and soul of the Jets last year. If you look at this years team who did the Jets have Scott, Sanchez and Holmes, please one is a loud mouth, Tone is a Diva and, Sanchez isn’t really qualified yet.
