"An NFL coach who has competed against Bill Belichick once explained this to me: Belichick is the only coach he's ever feared. "With the X's and O's he can embarrass you," the coach said."
Well our D just moved past the Jets Defense. Of course, Nolan kind of talks like Rain Man so if he touts it no one would understand what he is saying..
Great day , that puke punk McDaniels get canned and the Yets get embarrassed and exposed...pretenders
Attention Rex Ryan, begin warming up your lips. There will be a post-game ceremony at midfield where you will kiss Bill Belichick's rings.
Sanchez is really rattled that throw was right to a patriot As Sean Smith explained, the Jets will run their best plays tonight and the Defense will get a real good look at what they go to when they need yards.
He may be the best coach I have watched... except for Walsh. Lombardi was before my time, as were the incredible George Halas and Paul Brown. Any other candidates?
Not sure but he's the best I've seen and he's been my favorite coach in the league for a couple years now, as I've continued to break down what he does. Just thoroughly impressive.
This reminds me very much of what the 49ers used to do to the old Buddy Ryan 46 defense Bears, they would just shellack them 38-7 or something absurd like this, they did so two yrs in a row on MNF. As for lessons to be learned, I do not see many, the Jets went into turtle mode awhile ago, the Pats rotated in bottom of the roster guys to play. The jets lack of an organic passrush has killed them.
we'll spot you say 6 td's .... and then the game will be tied and we play for last possession fg maybe?
Well, the one thing that stick out to me is the Pats going 5 wide and the Jets having no answer for it, typically an empty backfield means a blitz, but the Jets did not have the personnel to blitz once Ihedbego went out, and their lack of a organic, base passrush was exposed.
What finally sold me was the season where we beat them for the AFC East title a couple of years ago. I have NEVER seen coaching like that from a Head Coach who lost EVERY key position to injury. It was incredible. He still took them to an 11-5 record... without the following players... - DBs Asante Samuel, Randall Gay and Eugene Wilson ALL left in the offseason, decimating the secondary.... 2nd round DB pick Terence Wheatley was put on IR (that's a LOT of DBs to lose and change) - Tank Williams, IR'd at end of training camp - Tom Brady was lost for the season in the first game - Laurence Maroney, starting RB - Adalius Thomas, star LB - Rodney Harrison, FS (and leader of that secondary... an already decimated secondary) - Shawn Crable, rookie LB - IR'd, Pierre Woods LB - IR'd You lose all that and then go 11-5???? Are you KIDDING me? If, that year, we had lost Pennington, Ronnie Brown, Joey Porter, and all of our secondary (including major team leaders)..... there is no way in HELL our second stringers carry us to 11-5. Best coaching job I have seen in my life. -
This works if you have Brady at QB. He WILL make you pay if you blitz while he has 5 receiving options.
Clearly. Though I didn't find he had any one aspect he did so well that it leapt out at you... Lombardi was a vocal motivator, Walsh a brilliant innovator. Shula quietly just won more games than anyone ever. lol.
Thing was, they couldn't blitz, they typically send Db's on blitzes, but 5 wide and spread out meant there was no one close enough to send at Brady without the secondary being torched, their base 3 or 4 man line had to generate their pressure and just couldn't do it. That killed the Jets when they ran that formation.
Kudos to Rex Ryan at this press conference. He's straight forward and taking it. Said he was outcoached.
Right. And to extend my point, if you have a lesser QB than Brady then the Jets could blitz and the QB doesn;t execute to make them pay. He mistimes some of those passes, or places the ball improperly or is rattled with the blitzer coming and puts the wrong touch on the ball. Essentially, if Henne ran a five wide, could he have the same results? I wouldn't fear him the same way as Brady, obviously. I'd be very comfortable sending a blitzer or TWO and playing some disguised zone coverage, knowing that Henne has to figure out the coverage before the blitz gets there... and even if he DOES figure it out, betting he'll make more mistakes trying to deliver the ball to burn my blitz. That's part of why we don;t run a five-wide, I guess. That said, I personally think Henne is very good at burning blitzing teams. Just not 'TOM BRADY' good.
Well the odd thing with Henne is, Blitzes do not phase him, at one time this year he had the highest completion percentage in the NFL vs blitzes (right before the Ravens game iirc) his problem is when he sees exotic packages, like dropping 8 men.
Exactly right. It's a mental-processing power question with Henne. I feel like we are feeding the data into him (film study, coaching him up versus looks and zone etc.) but that we are hitting a processor ceiling with him and so he is just not getting it. I am happy to see if he shows me something good against complex coverages by year's end. If he still looks incapable against them, we have to get another QB into the fold or be willing to burn another year in the wilderness if he doesn;t suddenly have a lightbulb-coming-on-moment (downgraded from probable to possible).
