Popular Post Bobby816 Posted October 10 Popular Post Share Posted October 10 Rumor is we might be switching play calling duties to Todd Downing. While a change I 100% think is needed. Let’s not act like Downing is this good offensive mind. His last year calling plays he had TEN as a bottom 2 offense in the league and even the year before that just middle of the pack. So unless he’s changed drastically over the last couple years….. it’s hard to imagine he gets play calling duties and is a savior for us. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Be_a_Jet Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 That whole offensive coaching staff is so so bad. It’s one of the reasons I feel less bad about Saleh firing. There is no one on this staff that doesn’t have major sh*t streaks on their resume and recent ones too! It was ultimately his decision and his undoing. I think it’s going to be the teams downfall. Rodgers liked Hackett cuz he had full control but I think he’s realizing when everyone else on that coaching staff sucks all that control is too much for one player to try to coordinate. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OtherwiseHappyinLife Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 I’ll take 15 best in points, which is what Tennessee was in his first year as coordinator before regressing after AJ Brown was traded. The Titans were built to be a run heavy power football team. That’s not necessarily aligned with gaining a lot of yards or scoring a lot of points. Context is important. Now tell me who’s decision it was to trade AJ Brown or employ their former OL Coach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 Yeah top notch play callers don’t have to take QB coach jobs. The benefits of the Saleh firing are everyone feels pressure to perform and win now for the first time in ages. The scheme works if everyone executes their blocks. Jerry Kramer famously told the defense what the packers were running before the play and it didn’t matter. What they need most is an edge to their attitude, urgency, energy and even desperation. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. The team needed a shake up top to bottom. Okay, favorite whipping boy is still there but I don’t if anyone knows what the real interaction there was between saleh and Hackett. It could be saleh had a lot more input into the offenses game plan than we might think. He should’ve because he was the head coach. And it’s like Kramer said, if the team executes they can be successful. Run blocking and pass protection is what’s needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downing is credited for helping Derek Carr become the first Raiders quarterback to be selected to a Pro Bowl since 2002. On January 20, 2015, Downing was named by Pro Football Focus as Quarterbacks Coach of the Year. After coaching Raiders quarterbacks for two years, he was promoted to offensive coordinator in 2017, after the Raiders decided not to renew Bill Musgrave's contract. When Downing coached Carr from 2015–16, he threw for 7,924 yards, 60 touchdowns, and 19 interceptions with two Pro Bowl appearances. On January 29, 2021, Downing was promoted to offensive coordinator, replacing Arthur Smith, who departed to become the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons two weeks prior. In Downing's first season as offensive coordinator, the Titans finished 17th in overall offense and 15th in points scored. Downing has had some success in this league and it's not like he had a blue-chip QB to work with, while he was at Tennessee, he had reclaimation project Ryan Tannehill. Some of you guys are so stuck on all of the negative BS, do a little research before you chop a guy down. I certainly don't believe he'll be any worse than Nate Hackett. I say give Downing a shot, nothing ventured, nothing gained. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FidelioJet Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 Just now, ARodJetsFan said: There is no way to quantify that, one way or the other. Make the change, it can't hurt anything and it might actually help. Sure. Why not make the change I agree. I don't expect to see much from it. What will make the offense better is execution. Garret Wilson has to have route discipline, Lazard has to catch the ball, The OL has to protect the QB, The OL has to open holes in the running game, the TE's can't continually wiff on blocking assignments and the QB needs to stop dirting the ball and missing wide open WR's for TD's. Yes, sure - play calling could be better but the reality is if the players did their basic jobs we wouldn't be talking about play calling. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pac Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 For all the crap Hackett is taking, most of it deserved, the Jets were able to run the ball last year with far less talent on the line. Fact is right now the line is playing like sht. Between Olu getting thrown around and the TEs missing block after block it's no wonder Breece can't get off. This vid is gross. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetstream23 Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 How inept is this organization? They have a 40 year old QB (obviously not the future of the franchise). They hire his buddy to be OC, a man who was fired in Denver and the Jets only hired in order to lure Rodgers here. They tried to hire Arthur Smith in a consultant/advisor role because they had so little confidence in Hackett. They fired the HC who wanted to keep LaFleur and who wanted to hire Arthur Smith and was in the process of demoting Hackett's playcalling duties when he was fired. lol But hey, the Mets and Yankees are still alive! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, his last year calling plays in Tennessee he had Tannehill throwing to nobody, pushed into forcing the ball in to rookie bust Burks, with a backup LT (who's currently a street FA) blocking his blind side all season and a backup center for 1/3 of the season on top of that. The only serious player he had was Derrick Henry, who's very serious. An elite RB producing a 1500+ yard, 13-TD season isn't nearly enough yardage or points to lift an entire offense's ranking by himself. The year before they were a 24-25ppg offense, though that was a sharp decline - almost a TD per game - from the offense under Arthur Smith the prior season. Then again Hackett somehow got a 3700-yard passing season out of Blake Bortles (throwing to nobody of note himself; his most productive receiver was undrafted rookie Keelan Cole's 748 yards); then adding in another 2200+ yards on the ground to make that crew a nearly 6000-yard offense. So take past team rankings for what it's worth, as there isn't a Jets fan that wants Hackett retained. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BornJetsFan1983 Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 2 hours ago, OtherwiseHappyinLife said: I’ll take 15 best in points, which is what Tennessee was in his first year as coordinator before regressing after AJ Brown was traded. The Titans were built to be a run heavy power football team. That’s not necessarily aligned with gaining a lot of yards or scoring a lot of points. Context is important. Now tell me who’s decision it was to trade AJ Brown or employ their former OL Coach? I was about to say context matters too. Also I'm more worried about the playcslimg making some logical sense, i.e. high percentage plays called when they are supposed to be. Running on 3 and 1. Not only the kind of play, but also who that play is drawn up for. I e. Get the ball to your play makers when the game or drive is on the line. How the offense ready to play and not have slow start. Downing I predicted would get that play calling Responsibilities, and this is a big opportunity for him. He is capable, and with any luck he knows the system Aaron wants to run and there is zero chance he as bad as hackett 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeNamathsFurCoat Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 I think the OL was ravaged by injury and he was playing the hand he was dealt. The brilliant TEN GM had replaced AJB with Treylon Burks 🤣 Tannehill was Downing’s QB 😅 But yeah, I’m not exactly under any delusion that Downing is some kind of offensive guru who will lead a 30 PPG attack. It’s about being competent and a race to 20 pts led by a good defense that can hopefully protect a lead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
