Biggs Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 2 minutes ago, Warfish said: I'm honestly curious, do you think Coach Saleh or LaFleur think that they'd do a better job "protecting their No. 1 asset" by installing a system other than their own system......but chose to install their system anyway? It's almost like you think they made a conscious, mutually exclusive, decision to not protect Wilson. What system would protect Wilson better, in your view, than the one these Coaches know and run? Coach Lefleur has very little experience and his only experience is under Shanahan. I don't think he has a plan B. I think they are installing the only system they can actually run. So far can't run the ball, can't protect the QB. I like Saleh but it's possible Lefleur is way over his ski's. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea that any coach or system gets one single game, or he needs to change everything on the fly just seems crazy to me. Is it possible some folks are being just a tad impatient? That maybe it might take a game or two to get this thing up and running right?

Rome wasn't built in a day, and as much as WE'VE been here suffering for years and decades, Saleh, LaFluer, Wilson and even JD haven't. We need to give them time. Be assured, at year end if they all suck, I'll happily join the "they all sucked this year, what do we do about it!" chorus. But after only one game, their first game (for all of um', Saleh, LaFluer and Wilson), I think a little time is ok, even if week 1 was horrible in the first half, and scary when it came to Wilson. On the bright side, I (for one) doubted Wilson could take hits. He took 6, some of the quite hard, and bounced right back up. I'm actually sorta glad to see that in a way, proof he may not be as small and fragile as I might have expected. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doghouse generally implies that he wasn't playing for non-football-talent related reasons. No one is suggesting that Jeff Smith only played 9 snaps because he is in the doghouse, we just all assume he wasn't the best option. Perhaps, that is how the Jets view Mims. Again, I am a big Mims fan and REALLY want him to succeed but maybe the Jets don't think he is a better option than Corey/Moore/Berrios. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The o line took zero snaps as a unit in the preseason. It showed, and they played poorly in their first game. What offensive style works when your line can't block?

A common discussion point in a fan forum should hardly be considered a fact. I saw Anderson catch more than just bombs. I've never read anything from the coaching staff saying anything about him not knowing the playbook or other WR spots. Like I said, if you have, please post them. Also, I agree Mims isn't a #1. I think you're missing the point of my statement. I meant, even if Robby was a 1 trick pony, you cant compare their playing time because when Robby was on the team he was the best option. Right now, the coaching staff has 3 players minimum that are ahead of Mims. Thus, if you really want to be on the field, learn the playbook so you can get in when you can. It is very simple. These players are professionals getting paid millions. Learn the playbook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post #27TheDominator Posted September 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 14, 2021 I'm not sure I understand. We want coaches to hold the players accountable. Then when they do we complain? We want coaches to get the best players on the field. Okay, how are we supposed to do that if Mims only knows the one spot? Should we be benching Corey Davis? Sure as sh*t didn't look like it on Sunday. What snaps were you going to take away for Mims? Jeff Smith's? Fine, put a stake through my heart, but I don't see those 9 snaps shutting anyone up. He evidently can't play slot where we know Berrios spent his time. They played 2 TE (or TE + FB) for 29 snaps and according to the snap counts had 2 backs in for another 32. I like Mims as much as the next guy, but it seems like he isn't helping himself and it doesn't seem fair, or necessarily smart, to monkey with Davis because Mims only knows one spot. For ****'s sake, Enunwa learned the Y. FWIW, I expect to see Mims more as the season goes on and I think that as Chrebet points out, some of this stuff is dependent on what they are doing and the reduced number of snaps they had because they started so poorly. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 18 hours ago, Lith said: This almost makes it sound like he could be inactive this week with Cole and Crowder coming back. Honestly, I read this same thing and conclude the opposite is equally possible. Having Cole & Crowder both back means it cuts down, by a good amount, on the number of responsibilities/routes in which Mims has to show proficiency. If Crowder's getting the start, no one expects the next man up to be Mims over Cole in the slot. However it's a legitimate complaint that, ok so when Berrios comes off the field then slide Moore inside and Mims in Moore's place (rather than Mims in Berrios's place directly). Giving the staff the benefit of the doubt, it may not be that simple (Mims may not even have memorized those remaining plays correctly, lining up wider). And yeah, if Mims is in the wrong place, it could lead to not only interceptions on timed patterns, but QB injury resulting from more bad sacks or worse (as it eats up another half-second or so of Wilson running through progressions). He's got to be where he's expected to be. Yes they could have him start with a more limited playbook, but that's going to eat into his playing time tremendously. What if a lot of what he's getting wrong is when they need to audible? The only remedy left is to call TO. That's too much burden for the rest of the offense. All this assumes he's really grasped enough of the playbook this poorly overall, and it isn't just that he doesn't know everything well enough. Too early to tell. But catching a pass on a breakdown in coverage, where he's standing all by himself, is more on the defense screwing up than Mims doing anything particularly right. I mean, ideally we all want to see a young player with his physical attributes on the field. That he's signed for 2 more years on the cheap is an added bonus for 2022 and 2023. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
