Thor99 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 From Vaccaro in the Post today: http://www.nypost.com/sports/jets/happy_man_gini_jets_mike_vaccaro.htm And there is much evidence to be studied that, after one game, what began as a bitter game of betrayal last January may well have worked as serendipitously as possible, especially when you study just how brutally things broke for Edwards during his debut in Kansas City. Jets fans could have printed out a blueprint for Chiefs fans to follow, that's how predictably things went at Arrowhead Stadium. All across the summer, Chiefs players crowed about Edwards' light workouts, praised Edwards for - altogether now - "treating us like men," and, in what was a chronic issue throughout his tenure in New York, the Chiefs came out flat, unfocused, blatantly unprepared in week one. But that wasn't Edwards' only familiar sin. It took Chiefs fans all of two series to boo their new coach, when on third-and-five, well inside the Bengals' red zone, Larry Johnson wound up diving into the pile for a minimal gain. This was precisely the kind of numbingly conservative offense that used to be a staple of Jets gameplans, and used to drive Jets fans insane. But wait, there was more. Afterward, pressed about that call, Edwards muttered: "Missed communication on the call. I'll leave it at that." But, of course, by saying that much it was hardly left at that. Soon, offensive coordinator Mike Solari confessed that he'd either lost track of the down or the distance, assuming a place under Herm's Bus that Paul Hackett could certainly tell him all about. And with Trent Green out for at least two weeks now, Chiefs fans ought to enjoy how well Edwards adjusts to those weekly dramas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeniorFlaJet Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 The best article on the disaster in kc on Sunday was written by Jason Whitlock of the Kansas City Star. Jason sometimes fills in on PTI and is really knowledgeable. If someone can link it I think you would all get a kick out of it. If we had a POTW for journalists this would win.
