Comments on: Buzz: Is This Much of a Choice? http://www.thejetsblog.com/2009/01/15/buzz-is-this-much-of-a-choice/ Ranting and Raving about the Gang Green Sun, 12 Feb 2012 08:20:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Frank http://www.thejetsblog.com/2009/01/15/buzz-is-this-much-of-a-choice/#comment-124467 Frank Sat, 17 Jan 2009 17:31:38 +0000 http://www.thejetsblog.com/2009/01/15/buzz-is-this-much-of-a-choice/#comment-124467 Empty backfield sets....I believe this was a staple for BRETT FAVRE more than Schotty............I wonder who added that wrinkle into the offense. Leon is like the basketball player that comes off the bench for energy and then loses his flavor after awhile if used too much. He is a great talent but he can't be used as more than a change of pace back. Regarding TJ, his only 2 stellar years were when he had a dominate offensive line with CHI and NY. About 4 years ago, TJ was the 3rd running back and looking for a team to play for (ARI, TB). He was a failed college player who became tough in the NFL. I think he is a good player but nothing to brag about. Empty backfield sets….I believe this was a staple for BRETT FAVRE more than Schotty…………I wonder who added that wrinkle into the offense.

He leads the AFC in rushing, has 13 TDs, and he needs to be replaced? I do agree, we need depth at the position. GangGreen, "TJ wasn't a back that other teams were scared of?" Who cares if they are scared -- they have to stop him. Frank, Leon is just okay? You guys are underrating our Offensive talent, because the coaches did not use them properly. I'll give you two examples, where formations and play-calling can make all the difference: In one situation, we are in an empty backfield set, Favre drops back, looks around and can't find a receiver. Safeties are playing back, as there is no way we can run the ball. The defense knew the pass was coming so, they rushed five or six players. Favre feels the rush and throws a pass directly to a defender. In another situation, we have Richardson and TJ in the backfield, Favre drops back, play-actions to TJ who circles out of the backfield, Richardson picks up the blitzing LB, Safety plays up, as he bites on the play-action. Favre looks up, finds single coverage on a slant to Cotchery, and we gain fifteen yards. Schottenheimer put us in the first situation, way too often. That is how coaching can cause a receiver to look like he can't get separation. That is how coaching can cause a QB to throw interceptions. You have to look beyond statistics.

Keep in mind it came from Mort but lets hope the Rams and Jarrett is doing a presser tomorrow.

You're coming around on how awful the coaching was the last 3 years. By the way, there are some pissed off monkeys. They think they are way better and don't appreciate being compared to Shotty.
