Bent: Sorry take Trusnik out of the grouping and you still cant justify having these guys on the field at the same time (which I beleive happened last week).

Alot of blame to go around but the lions share belongs to the Defense. More specifically Sutton. He has shown us 3 seasons worth of his abilities. And the results are poor. Mangini took over the D the first 2 years with great results. I can only guess that he did not do it this year because the team was playing very well. Mangini needs to take over the D to get the Jets into the playoffs, and then finally replace Sutton with someone more competent next year. This has been a really bad job by the coaching staff the last 2 weeks. They have gone from a top AFC team to unwatchable. Personnally, I am not going to waste another Sunday watching them. If they make the playoffs, wake me up.

I constantly defended Pennington’s reluctance to go downfield by cautioning that the receivers are unable to get open. Judging by the comments above, yesterday was more evidence that I may have been right.

Sean: Trusnik was inactive – how did he get on the field? Donnie Henderson? Wow.

Subwayfare/Jas: Thanks guys. Taking into account what you both said, it seems that they need to be aggressive from the outset and not let the QB get into the rhythm. Once he is into that rhythm though, it is pointless to blitz more because that often plays into the QB’s hands.

4 things to be happy about—1 We are still in 1st place and control our destiny–considering we were 4-12 last year thats good. 2–We have the Bills next with ?JP Loserman at qb 3- David Harris is back 4– We didn’t suffer any injuries. Having said that the way to beat us has been documented by Bellichek and perfected by the last two teams. Can we make adjustments? I have no idea what to do.

mangini is not stupid, but he is stubborn. The jets have got to go to strengths and stay true to it vs trying to be a jack of all trades team on both offense and defense. mangini needs to run the ball at least 25 times a game on offense. The defense needs to stop run and be much more aggressive in rushing the passer! the “read and react” method IS NOT WORKING! HELLO! SEVERAL ROOKIE QBS HAVE FEASTED ON THIS DEFENSE! mangini better adjust or he will be getting coffee for belicheck in the near future again.

How many carries would he have gotten? 15? TJ should get 20+ carries EVERY SINGLE GAME.

So yes, Jones is a HUGE bright spot for this team. Now if we only relied on him to open up the passing game, we might be able to control the clock and the game.

Seems like if we had kept Pennington all along, we wouldn’t be relying on our passing game so deeply. Anybody worried about that last game of the season yet and what it means to have Chad show up with the division on the line? Talk about Jet folklore. This is a nightmare waiting to happen.

He would have got the ball more if we kept our hands on the ball. He was running strong.

JustAGreenGuy -

That’s tempered because for some reason THE GUY ONLY GOT TEN CARRIES. Said this before, but if anybody should be complaining about not getting touches, it’s TJ. Say what you will about Herm, but at least he knew never to stray far from his bread-and-butter (Curtis).
