RSJ Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 First let me ask you - how could a college educated person take this moron seriously? http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/jets/story/346489p-295722c.html Herm's game face is on! Fires up Jets for re-launch By RICH CIMINI DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER Herm Edwards looks like he is turning up intensity after K.C. debacle, and hands Jets list of fundamentals to make point. The Jets haven't won a football game - a game that mattered - in 250 days. So yesterday Herm Edwards felt it was time to give his team a refresher course. It was Philosophy 101, with Edwards delivering a fiery lecture entitled, "How The Jets Win!" Trying to regroup after the season-opening debacle in Kansas City, Edwards emphasized to his team the importance of returning to its blue-collar personality - a theme he willingly shared later with the media. In fact, the Jets' coach was so eager to publicize his agenda that he allowed the public relations staff to distribute copies of the talking points he showed the team on his overhead projector. "We're not some glamor team because we play in New York," said Edwards, admitting the Jets may have been too enamored of themselves going into Kansas City. "We're a blue-collar, hard-working team. We do things a certain way. Sometimes it looks boring, but it wins." Welcome to the House of Blue Collar. If a blue-collar football team is a team that consistently wins the turnover battle, outrushes its opponents and commits few penalties, the Jets are true blue. You can look up the stats from Edwards' first four seasons. They won 35 times, many of them low-scoring games in which they did just enough to prevail. Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil called them "the smartest team in the league," but that was before last Sunday's mistake-a-minute ugliness. "In that game, I don't think we were blue, white, black, whatever-collar," Curtis Martin said. "We didn't play well. We are that blue-collar team. We come in, we're not going to out-trick you and we're not going to have all the talent in the world. But we're going to outwork you, and that's what we didn't do Sunday." The Jets were guilty of seven fumbles, three turnovers, six dropped passes, eight penalties and one fistfight between teammates. Final score: 27-7. Perhaps sensing a potential crisis as the Jets prepare for the rejuvenated Dolphins (1-0), Edwards turned into Fire-and-Brimstone Herm. He addressed the team in a stern tone, even using some salty language, according to players - something he rarely does. Using a projector in the team meeting, Edwards displayed his keys to victory: Smart/fast/physical. Run the ball/stop the run. Protect the ball/take it away. Solid special teams/no foolish fouls. Every football coach in America uses those bromides, but Edwards has a way of making them sound compelling. Later, in front of the cameras, he was quick with an analogy to sell his message. "When you go to the prom, you rent your tuxedo, you get one of those big limousines and you feel pretty good," he said. "The next day, you come to school, you're driving a Volkswagen. "Don't forget where you come from. That's what we've got to understand. We play a certain way. We've got to get back to playing that way." You've heard of high-powered teams being compared to Ferraris and Cadillacs? Edwards might be the first coach who covets a Volkswagen team, which raises a question: Does that mean he wants to return to Paul Hackett's conservative style of offense? No, Edwards insisted; he wants new coordinator Mike Heimerdinger to stick with his system, sans the foul-ups and blunders. "A winning team doesn't do dumb things," Kevin Mawae said, "and we did a lot of dumb things on Sunday." Yesterday, they paid with a grueling practice. Afterward, many sweat-soaked players walked into the locker room, breathing hard from a rounder of gassers. "We were under the thumb today, if you know what I mean," Pete Kendall said. "There weren't a lot of 'Attaboys' from the coaches." Sometimes a blue collar gets tight around the neck. Originally published on September 15, 2005 Discuss.

Does Nugent overstride when he walks and trip on his feet?? What a clown. If you watch the replay, his footwork was all screwed up. He planted his foot almost a full yard away from where he should have. How the hell does that happen to a guy that has probaly kicked 10,000 kicks?

I came home and watched the game on tape, so the game was not as long and hard to watch for me, but when Nuge slipped and had that FG blocked I just sat their infront of the tv with a wtf look on my face, unbelievable.

Maybe he should be working out the shutgun snap with Pennington instead of flying to Louisina. He can still send supplys and donate or whatever, but this team needs him too. He cant be both places at the same time, but he can still help the people down south as well as practicing the shotgun snap with Chad. If it happens 1 more fu^king time this season with the shotgun snap over Chads head, I am going to go crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for that, I love that Herm is suddenly getting credit for being a taskmaster. Question: where was taskmaster Herm when he had Cottrell and Hackett? Answer: nowhere. The ass-kicking is being done by Dinger and Hendu. Herm is an impartial observer. And a moron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't understand that going into Year Five people are still willing to stand behind Herm. NOBODY gets five+ seasons in a head gig without getting his team AT LEAST to the Super Bowl. Hell, people in Pittsburgh despise Cowher and he has that team ready to kill most weeks and HAS taken it to the Super Bowl. Yet, Jets fans are like "Oh no, Herm's been to the playoffs three times. He's still learning on the job." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sell, Sell, Sell! Herm can be at your next sales conference to bore your staff to sleep with his overwrought cliches for the price of $4,995.00, SUV rental, 1st class plane tickets to your event and a suite at a quality hotel. The password is DESPERATION. I fully expect this team to come out and kick hiney. But Edwards knows this is a big home division game vs. a team that is less talented than the Jets.
