There were a number of plays that appeared to be called runs that Allen checked out of because of what the defense presented. In general I agree there should be some mix, but I am not in favor of running into the line just to say we did if the defense appears stacked against it. Allen did take a couple of shots in the first half and I suspect more were called that he did not throw either because they were not there or he did not have time.
In general I agree that the net result was a lack of variability, but that is circumstance as much as anything. I absolutely agree with a game plan to attack the Jets aggressively through the air. That is their vulnerability.
The game plan was exactly right in my opinion. The vulnerability of the Jets is at LB and secondary. Their strength is DL. They set up to stop the run and spy Allen. “Make him be a QB” was their mantra. They way to beat this is to throw. It was working, but a combination of bad luck and poor execution by Allen on a couple of plays destroyed the effectiveness. A bigger dose of running in the first half was not the answer.
You are right. You are suffering from BBFS big time. Get some medication.
i thought the game plan was exactly right. The turnovers killed the effectiveness, but it was working. Passing was the way to beat this team. They were daring them to do it and announced it ahead of time. Lack of execution prevented this from being a blow out by halftime, but the game plan was working. The Jets were on their heels.
As for the Defense, that was a dominating performance. No negatives.
The comeback was awesome. It was not lucky in the least. They simply cleaned up the execution. The better team won. The Jets coaching was a joke all day.
Adam Gase is a bad coach. The so called “brilliant offensive mind” was made to look every bit the clueless dufus that he is today. Greg Williams’ “make him be a QB” strategy backfired in a big way. The Jets suck.
Blowhard. With Rex out of the league, someone had to take up the role of Sound and Fury Signifying Nothing. He better hope the rush gets there because his LBs and CBs cannot cover.
There is absolutely no reason to feel sorry for Antonio Brown. None. He is not in need of counseling. He is in need of a functioning brain, which sadly, is not likely to happen. This is all on him. Spare me any excuses for his his behavior.
As far as I know, if you claim a player he needs to be put on the active roster, and assuming he is not a vested veteran, he must clear waivers before he can be put on the practice squad.
Daboll clearly plans to utilize the TE position. I would not be surprised to see three TEs on the field in some formations. I think early signs are positive that they may have some pretty decent TE options on the team. For those lamenting the loss of Duke Williams for his size and ball compete in the end zone, say hello to Sweeney and Knox, who are bigger and at least as fast and can fill that role nicely.
Seriously, with the health, or lack thereof, of our TE crew to date, it makes sense to have a viable option to possibly call back to the active roster down the road. (And yes, I got the sarcasm)
