TheShow Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 does it not seem odd to you that in practice it's been said chad looks like a differnt QB when it comes to his arm strength? but in lasat nights game he looked like he was throwing left handed. and in the first preseason game he didin't throw the ball one time. just handed off to Jones over and over, getting in rhythm with eachother. then a few days later Jones goes down with an injury and says he might be back by week 1. so we have all these questions. with chad doing bad looking like he has no arm strength and jones may not play in week one against the pats. we all know preseason means nothing. but could this be a ploy? mind games for the pats for openeing week?

serphnx Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 That's a very intriguing theory, and if it results in a blowout of the Pats in week 1 just the look on BB's face afterwards would make my season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Walker Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I wish that was tue, but what jumped out at me is how many times they passed to the Qb's left. I think the vikes just picked up on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chads INT's werent an arm strength issue... they were horrible decisions/plays whatever you want to call them... Mangini was obvioulsy trying something different... and it didnt work... There is NO WAY Mangini will show what a drive will look like in week 1... so he will keep mixing in new stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No...Because the Jets arent the only ones talking about Chads improved arm strength. Ive heard the same thing from JC's and LG's TC reports. Also, in the 2nd practice i went to Penny was definately able to put some ZIP on the short/checkdown passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was he trying different? Putting Chad in a position to throw INT's? I mean you say Mangini was trying something different, but what exactly? Its not like Mangini sits there in his office and thinks "Well... tonight I'm going to try to have the receivers run routes that will cause Chad to throw interceptions, lets see if that works" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a crazy concept in pre-season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionelRichie Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 the real conspiracy theory would be that mangini/shott are calling plays to make clemens look better than chadwick in the preseason. this would allow mangini to pull the trigger and start clemens after the jets start 0-2.

The Troll Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Maybe it really is a conspiracy, and Chad has lulled the Pats into a false sense of security by sucking and getting injured for the past 5 years. That Herman Edwards...what a conniving sonofabitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSJ Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 This is a very good point. But who knows what is going on inside Mangini's head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
