Hometown discount?

[pointman]

I was sighing because you actually asked about his "value".

The fact that he bad mouthed the Jets, so the playoff team Seahawks cut him, and then the Jets went and added him tells me everything I need to know about his worth to a GOOD football team, and everything I need to know about the integrity of this Jets regime.

Yeah, I got it, "Integrity".

You just made Revis almost choke on his foie gras. Good thing he had plenty of champagne to clear it up.

I honestly don't know what the deal is with this guy. I love him but he's insane. Why is he so obsessed about being here all the time? Not just this year but in 2010-2011 too.

Also he's like the only receiver that ever says anything good about Sanchez. Never really hear Holmes doing that. Cotchery was such a professional but don't think he ever liked Sanchez. The postgame interview with Kerley the other day was like the most non-supportive interview I've ever heard from a WR to his QB.

Was he sitting on Santa's lap when he said this ?

Lulz. No, he didnt say anything about a discount so clearly this is yet another example (like Landry) of how players dont really want to play for Rex.

My greatest concern is the manner that Rex coaches players-whether they came with discount or not.

This is one of the most non-developing staffs I have ever seen.

I'm pretty sure you know nothing about the manner in which Rex coaches players.

Rex can develop D. To say different is foolish.

I see the byproduct on the field, which tells me plenty how he coaches.

Smart coaches know how to beat Rex's defense.
-In short yardage situations you bring them in tight, with a jumbo formation, and you gash them on the edge with a run. Works for big yards any number of times. Running left (for whatever reason seems to be the better spot).
-Clear out for one-on-ones against Kyle Wilson. It does not matter the quality of WR you single him on, put a WR against Wilson in space, and you can get chunks of yardage.
-Use Rex's agression against him. Screen plays are a good bet to work (although, I have to admit Wilkerson is starting to wise up).
-Focus on the tight end. The Jets can't cover 'em.

The thing is, the Jets have been playing against such inept offenses (mirror images of them), that they can't take advantage of these known tendencies.

Your pollyanna approach to Rex, and failure to see what is really happening is as blinding as the midwest snow.

Oh, and is it too much to ask my head coach to be more than a one trick pony? Because that is all Rex is.

Meh, his D has shut down the best in the biz. Give him an offense that can help out and we're not having this conversation.

So are 95% of the HC's in the NFL.

Your Christmas giving knows no bounds. The passes that you give Rex are truly worldly.

Just the SIMPLE things that the Jets fail to do on a regular basis (and things that Herm got skewered for):
-Failure to get right personnel in the game and package mis-coordination
-Time management
-Self scouting to see their own tendencies and change up

Not to mention the lack of being accountable. Loyalty is a great thing in life, but when you overuse it as a football coach, you are done.

If you simply choose to gloss over these impairments, well that is on you then.

To be fair, its mind boggling how many coaches struggle with the clock. Its like they've never played Madden before.

Do they struggle with it after time outs and breaks in action?

This team does.

Herm had the same issues. For whatever reason our coaches never seem to improve.

[courtnj18]

He should ask for his own NFLPA Personal Assistant. I know they're available 24/7 but this dude likes to party.
Aside from that - why not let him retire as a Jet? I see 4 more years out of him.

[#27TheDominator]

I will sign him to a 10 year deal tomorrow. Non-guaranteed at the vet min. Interesting that he said this after they benched Sanchez, who he was so fired up to defend.

Never punt! Always go for two!

[SoFlaJets]

He said without hesitation that what he wants is a Long Term Deal with the JETS and finish his career with them.

I want the same thing...but we know that the Jets don't put a very high priority on offensive players who actually DO their job...they give extensions to crappy QBs (Chad, Sanchez) and locker room cancers like Santonio

[G.O.B.]

I want to go back in time and become a Packers fan like the rest of my friends in the Upper Peninsula.

Last time when he was in demand here he said he'd take a pay cut to stick around. This time, no one wants him. He will take a pay cut and a drastic one.
