Comments on: Link: How Good is Greene for the Gang? http://www.thejetsblog.com/2009/10/27/link-how-good-is-greene-for-the-gang/ Ranting and Raving about the Gang Green Sun, 12 Feb 2012 16:12:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Lafflin http://www.thejetsblog.com/2009/10/27/link-how-good-is-greene-for-the-gang/#comment-196444 Lafflin Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:11:27 +0000 http://www.thejetsblog.com/2009/10/27/link-how-good-is-greene-for-the-gang/#comment-196444 The Raiders were demoralized by the time Green started to heat up, anyone could have ran the ball. The Jets Beat the raiders, lets not get too ahead of ourselves, they lost to Buffalo and Miami. I have no idea what to make of this team now I really don't. I'm loosing faith in Sanchez very quickly. I wanted to see him start for his intangibles, but soon I think if he can't learn to not lock onto receivers, and pass the ball effectively then we should hand it over to Clemens. There's a lot of worse QB's in this league than Clemens. Besides, we don't really know how good he is cause we never gave him a real chance. I like Sanchez, I'm just saying if he doesn't improve very soon than we should put Clemens in instead of throwing our season away.

I hated that more than anything else about that game. Rex threw the kitchen at Miami, and the Phins' coaches just took it and made meatloaf with a pleasing pepper sauce with everything Rex brought to the table. The prototypical play was that accursed, gorgeous screen where half of Florham Park came pouring through, Henne went to a 7-step drop and just plopped it over the heads of this herd of Green to Ronnie Brown right behind the line of scrimmage, and off he galloped to the left behind a wall of orange jerseys for a big chunk of Florida real estate. Big play. At a critical juncture. That kind of thing happened all night. Just smart, disciplined football, dammit. Henne may have had no more field experience than Sanchez that night, but he still had the benefit of a year to sit and watch Chad, who stills rates as one of the coolest field generals of the modern era, despite his other flaws. So, when Henne was called on, he was ready. I still wish Mark could have had that year to decompress in the NFL, despite his obvious talents. I'm looking forward to seeing if Rex (and by extension, the team) keeps his cool, stays disciplined, and returns the battering we took down there. The Wildcat is just a play. Like any other play, you have to figure out how to stop it. Big deal. Go back to the board and draw up a play that will stop their play. It's called football. Nothing has changed since leather helmets. When Henne was under pressure, Miami handled it superbly. I hated that more than anything else about that game.

Maybe folks are busy elsewhere today... Still, it seems quiet... That said, it is NOT either/or. Both were true. Yes, Greene had a superb breakout day, and he looks to be that good of a running back. That's really exciting. AND. Yes, the Raiders (normally good) sucked that badly all day -- after their QB gave the game away in the first five minutes and put anvils on everyone's backs. Look at the recap videos, and you'll again hear Dan Dierdorff dogging the Raider D repeatedly for rolling over and playing dead. This game was over at 14-0.

Think the weather will be perfect for football and the Jets. It will be a tough game though. The key will be how Rex decides to defend the Wildcat.

We will find out this week if it is for real. I like Shonn, but as usual the media is jumping to conclusions off one big game. A lot of backs have had one big game in the NFL, the keys to being great are consistancy, holding onto the football and staying healthy, all of which made Martin, and TJ to a lessor extent, special. Shonn, at least in college, has had trouble with the last part. The last two weeks ground blitz was 90% about the line, and the opponents.

I think, without enough tape on him, the Jets underestimated his ability to hit hot reads against the blitz. I expect, with more available game footage, they'll study his tendencies and play those lanes a lot better, both on the rush and in coverage.
