Oh those poor elite SEC teams not qualifying for the playoffs herp derp lol

If you are historically bad, it is probably time to go separate ways, no matter the circumstances.

I think Saleh is a 4-3 guy, right? It is an attacking 4-3 that would fit Brown really well imo.

I had two reservations against XL, his route running and his hands. His route running has been really good, which is both surprising and awesome. But until he can catch the ball on a consistent basis… It will be interesting to see if there is a big difference after his wrist surgery. Chuba improved a lot after working at it extremely hard, so maybe there is a chance?

He is a rookie HC. It was a learning year for him as well. I bet things will look very different in year 2. I still think we found a good one.

4-3 all the way, draft Graham and 1-2 DEs (seem like a few decent ones can be had in rounds 2-3 this year). Both Wonnum and Clowney can play as DEs. Sign a MLB in FA. And finally let Horn follow the best WR the whole game. It would be an immediate massive improvement.

I think it will be an amicable split, no nastiness or hard feelings. Both parties understand the need for a fresh start.

This is spot on. The one thing that has me enjoying watching the games are the splash plays, and some clutch plays. We’ll learn what we need next year as that will be his second year in the system etc. A year of no excuses.

Well then I wrongly assumed a lazy take and I apologize

I admire you willingness to completely ignore the point of the OP here, and use a stat from the whole season that is also a bit old. Well done!

It is an improvement, no doubt. Will he ever be good enough? What I have liked is his demeanor in the pocket and his willingness to be aggressive. Let’s see what him and Canales can do in the same system in year two, as I would expect both of them to improve. In the meantime we build the rest of the team.

Here’s a breakdown of Saleh’s defensive approach: https://jetsxfactor.com/2023/08/15/ny-jets-pros-cons-saleh-defense/ Side note, a friend who is a 49ers fan was always underwhelmed by Saleh and felt he was mostly a rah rah guy, and not much of a tactician.

I think we’ll have a decent chance to get Saleh as he’s friends with Canales, good change of scenery for him, and turning around the disaster of a defense that is the Panthers would set him up for a future second chance at a HC job. And he would get paid really well.

Ron’s strength is a culture builder, perfect for stopping a disaster of an org and get them close to normal. Then someone else will have to take over to take them from normalized to good. Ron is not a bad choice for the Jets, but I’m not sure they have the patience to start doing things the right way.

Fair, however Snyder never changed and is also a terrible person. I don’t think Tepper is a bad guy, and I think he is learning and changing. So that is what makes them different. Tepper made a massive mistake initially not cleaning house and keeping Marty. That lead to the hiring of Rhule and eventually Fitt. And we are still paying for it.

And we coached and played aggressively to get us in to FG range as well. Big momentum swing when we missed that FG before halftime. Not that it would have mattered overall, but took some of our momentum away nonetheless.

The big difference for us is that Tepper wants to win and he’s prepared to spend to make it happen. What he has struggled with is trusting the wrong people and hiring the wrong people.

I agree that the opposing view should be ok. What I see too much of is a small number of people trying to jump in and “destroy” threads that they oppose. We get it that their opinion is different and that the opposing view is somehow a huge trigger. But they can’t stand a discussion they don’t agree with. So by not moderating, they take over and destroy every thread, making most people not engage, hence we miss out on a potentially good discussion. However, that is essentially impossible to moderate, so I don’t blame the mods in this case. It’s not like being a mod is a full time paid position. Mods are volunteers. I don’t have a solution, outside of people being less angry and growing up, I just wanted to share my perspective.

100% agree. Yes the roster is bad, but what has been done to elevate what he has? We have two years of missed assignments and confusion, poor tackling etc. And the defense he left behind is better than it was when he was there. We need someone new.

There are a couple of really strong DCs with HC experience out there. Saleh, Eberflus etc.

The funny thing here is that the HC they ended up wasn’t their first choice, they picked second which left them with the best two QBs in the draft to pick from etc. Sometimes you also need a bit of luck.

He has probably the best set up of any QB in the league, but good for him, he seems like a really good guys.

There are very few elite QBs. You need a great overall team to win in the playoffs and win the superbowl. You need to continue to build a great team and hope your QB develops or that you stumble in to one. “Chasing” an elite QB at the cost of the team gets you nowhere. I have serious doubts Bryce will get us where we want to be (hopefully I’m wrong), but we need to build our team next year and give Bryce one more year to see what he can do.

Good one, Bryce did really well building up to that joke, funny stuff. I can see why he’s really well liked in the locker room.
