John Fox told Mick Mixon that he fixed the offence in 2008,and h.e will fix the defence in 2009. Remember thats what he did in 2003.

After thinking about this for a second. It took him getting moose back, and two first round draft picks last season to get the offense "fixed". The problem is, we will most likely lose peppers, and we don't have one first round pick this year. You can argue we will get one for peppers, but there's no guarantee there.

I think Fox will right the ship, or will be fired trying to do so.

If we develop a good scheme next year, losing Peppers won't really hurt that much. In the past few years we had an average to poor scheme with a few guys who could make plays. If we developed a better defensive scheme it would maximize our talent and elevate our play. There are a lot of teams without superstars who have been good for some time. Look at Piitsburgh for example. They have a few defensive stars but they also have alot of good guys who shine in that system. Woodley and Harrison account for over half their sacks. And their secondary is average at best. But they have a great defensive scheme that keeps oppponent off balanced.

Unfortunately we won't be running their scheme or anything close to it, but the fact is that having a great scheme makes up for average to good players more so than a few superstars make up for a poor scheme, IMO.

Worth remembering that it took more than one year to "fix" the offense.

Step 1 was the hiring of Jeff Davidson. Step 2 was acquiring the right players to run what Davidson wanted.

It could be argued that part of the reason it took longer is that the injury to Delhomme held them back a year, but in truth I don't think the "fix" happens without the acquisition of Otah and Stewart.

So on the defensive side, the question becomes can you do both in one offseason? An offseason where the biggest physical talent on that side of the ball is leaving?

    • Rotating in Chuba was beyond stupid and really hurt our offense overall. We’ve been in a good rhythm the last 6 quarters or so but Canales figured disrupting that with Chuba would be worth it Rico fits this offense so much better than Chuba    As far as grades go I know that ain’t our RB1, starting Center and our supposedly deep WR room and exciting talented young TE in dead last. Weird. I wonder if that has any correlation on QB play  Even that first incomplete ball Bryce threw in the end zone that hit Legette’s hands. Legette had no business being there so early. Legette went into scramble drill when that ball was intended for Coker who led up because of the traffic there
    • Yeah Jets have pretty much been in every game they've played and have barely lost to really good teams. They are much better than their record says Imo
    • I kinda just wanna see what the offense can do with a QB who has proven he can move the football in the NFL. If Dalton wasn't a shadow of his former self I'd be fine with him but Father Time has definitely caught up with him. If we start piling up the losses as the schedule gets tougher and the passing offense continues to be anemic that might cast Canales his job and it's worth a very low risk move IMO to at least give him a fighting chance. The thought of yet another Tepper rebuild just isn't at all exciting to me having already seen a few of them. I'm about giving this current guy a fighting chance.
