Their preparation was not there yes, but its all about will and finishing the game (playing all four quarters). This was something that Mangini stressed from his mantra (communication, focus, finish). I haven't heard Rex shut up about the Monday night game. It affected the jets that much and it shows then why not correct it with a set of guidelines mentioned above. It sounds easy to do so why not get away from (we are going to get some payback) the emotional view which by itself very bleak and practice with a purpose to make themselves solid fundamentally? If the jets expect just to win hand-to-hand combat with the dolphins they will lose again. It only takes a semi-decent head coach to understand that and make the jets pay. You can't rely on skill and talent alone at this level. The jets defenders who are speaking out this week about the missed tackles are those who make excuses and ultimately do not study enough and are not focused enough this year. (Ellis, Scott, Pace, Douglass, Sheppard, and Rhodes). It is a serious mistake. We don't control the trenches on sunday this week. So Rex better have his team fundamentally (football basics) prepared to play the dolphins and not blame the missed tackles. Be honest if you did not execute your assignment either you were out of position and you should be benched or your opponent is that much more prepared and stronger than you.
