Idk why but I'm excited for Ulbrich to settle down and get pass this initial wave of craziness. Really feel like he's a genuine person and will make it HIS team.

As a former player and someone who has a lot of pro coaching experience I don’t feel like the moment is too big for Ulbrich.

If anything, I think given his playing and coaching experience he will be able to reduce everything down to its raw emotion of just playing the f’ckin game. 

Forget expectations, media, stats, he said / she said, let’s play our asses off. Given that he has 12 games to showcase himself but without really any pressure (if he fails he’s one of the top sought out DCs next year anyway) he can coach freely without concern.

I think that will result in wins. At least that’s what I hope.

Hackett had already been stripped of play-calling duties by Saleh. Ulbrich simply isn't reversing that move.

https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/robert-saleh-removed-play-calling-duties-from-nathaniel-hackett-before-being-fired

At a meeting on Tuesday morning, Saleh informed the coaching staff that passing game coordinator Todd Downing would become the game-day play-caller, with offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett demoted. Hackett wasn’t being fired in the classic sense, but it was going to be his decision to whether he stayed.

Then, after the meeting, Saleh found out he was being fired in the classic sense.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled program, that Rodgers got Saleh fired.

I thought there were reports that this did not happen

so confused

only the jets can fire a coach that everyone wants fired and f it up

I’ve been saying this on repeat for weeks now.

13 total first drive points in 22 games under Hackett.

29% of the average team who has scored 44 points (5 TDs + 3 FGs).

A statistical anomaly but not really.

More a reflection of a lack of strike first mentality, a disregard for modern offensive football, a scheme over strategy approach, and an utter lack of creativity.  Some of which was likely dictated or condoned by our former HC.

I also think it was a byproduct of saleh’s overall strategy of not taking risks early, letting the defense do its thing and keeping games close, rather than attacking and trying to score early.

This is a strange relationship.  You are following all my posts and calling me names yet I have no clue who you are.

Read the room. Take a time out. Or maybe put the phone away during recess and don’t pick it up again until your homework is done. 

[Waka Flocka Flacco]

Did a cursory review of the analytics guys and the general consensus seems to be that Downing is operating under some crippling cognitive disability possibly caused by extra chromosomes.

This is such a clown show.  

Again, I don’t disagree with result.  But the process is completely messed up.

Agreed and that’s part of the problem, no?

The Jets D is supposedly built to play with a lead, not from behind.

The team that scores first wins 60% of the time.

An offense with the lead has the opposing defense on its heals and off balance.

The problem isn’t that they’re doing these things but that they didn’t do it in the offseason to have time to implement it.  It’s unclear if saleh convinced everyone to keep things the same or if woody allowed it.  Clearly woody is fed up with not scoring points.

This is encouraging.  Listen, there is no downside here as Hackett was that bad.  But I do question how much will actually change w/ Hackett still being here snd having the OC title.

I would feel much better if Hackett was fired today.

Ugh -- Eden Prairie High School's frosh offense sucked in both 1999 and 2000. 

Everyone knows the QB sucked 😜

[Augustiniak]

I’m curious to see if this also results in changes to personnel, notably using Corley and also using the rbs differently.  I’ve been saying for a while that breece is a better receiver than runner and using him in the passing game will open things up

[JetPotato]

If the Jets somehow score on the first drive on Monday night, this place is going to implode.

[BreeceHallofFame]

That’s was a masterclass press conference. Maybe the best one ever heard a Jets HC give.

Biggest nugget was him talking about the complete change in approach - in your seat, with a notebook and pen, ready to go. URGENCY

Something Bobby Boy preached NONE OF

”We’re at the nothing part of football”

Wow Jeff is retaining DC role and playcalling duties.

It’s a lot of any HC and he’s brand new first time HC.

LOL

you’ve been ranting nonstop for 2 days about how Rodgers had Bobby fired to block a Hackett demotion

🤣🤣

[Kalcott]

I like that he identified and stated they need to dictate the game and take it to the other team early.

Can't be afraid to make plays or worry about how it will be perceived. In other words, don't coach and play in order to save your job!!!

[shuler82]

Might just be because he’s a breath of fresh air after Saleh but I feel weirdly optimistic about Ulbrich. Now lets see a different team out there Monday night.

yeah that kinda stood out to me. doesn't sound feasible but what do I know

[TuscanyTile2]

-Wednesday is Thursday

-Todd Downing the new play caller

-We're lucky to have Nate Hackett in our lives

-No word on who is going to run the stairs

 

[IndianaJet]

So Brick/Brich (to be determined) said that Downing was the play caller and the final say on the game plan. 

 

Then what does Nate Hackett do now?

I see nothing charming about his superficial ramblings.  I don’t know if there’s a more compelling argument for natural selection than this dude. 

[JoeNamathsFurCoat]

The tone is different with Ulbrich.

For example, he clearly understands that there’s no time to waste.

In the end only the results will matter, but it’s a positive sign, I think.

He seems like the opposite of saleh, very authentic, someone the players would play hard for.  I like that he said he wants to get the offense to have the philosophy of the defense, attacking early.

Does this mean we are now in the something part of football?

He mentions Moses is on track to play. Let's hope that's accurate.

Fully expects Moses to play on Monday night & possibly Corley as well.

Corley has been dealing with a hamstring issue.

It's not too often I'm looking forward to Monday getting here, but I am this week.
