I find the tweet fascinating. Posted on 9PM on a Tuesday. Recently, thereâs been a media shift praising Darnoldâs ability and bashing the shit out of Gase. I wonder... https://twitter.com/sportscenter/status/1308572003780173825">https://twitter.com/sportscen...
If the team were to fire someone, theyâd do it on Monday. But I think Gaseâs job is a lot less secure than most fans think. If owners hate embarrassment, seeing Sam traded away to a model franchise partly because of inept coaching is up there
Do I want Jets to win? Yes. However, Iâve seen teams come back from 0-4 or 1-3 to have a respectable season. Willing to start 0-4 if that guarantees Gase is gone and you see Sam with different playcalling. But you really canât operate with 16 games under Gase.
You canât evaluate any QB when youâre not eclipsing 100 yards passing until the 4th quarter. The last two coaches weâve employed play not to get blown out and subsequently get blown out. Itâs a bad mentality in a league where most games are close.
What really separated Jets and niners? Itâs not talent once the injuries happened. Itâs coaching. Jets got burned on out routes and tosses all game. Niners defense sat within like 3-4 yards of LOS. Nobody thought to change things.
Imagine if one adjustment was made. That game is at least closer and Jets cover if not outright win. Instead itâs a bunch of âmy scheme or elseâ guys. Which is super ironic considering Sam was well known for off script plays.
Sam doesnât even have the confidence to audible out of a god awful play into a QB sneak. Thatâs like Pre K off script. You think Brady or Rodgers or even Baker is going to stay in some garbage play call relative to situation?
So if Sam canât do that, the off script plays people beg for arenât happening. Heâs lost his confidence imo. I saw it in his eyes in pregame huddle vs bills. You see it in his tepid defense of Gase and subliminal blaming of O line.
We get on Matt Nagy and Mitch trubisky a lot, but Nagy has a âbe youâ thing plastered on play sheet. Positive reinforcement and self fulfilling prophecy. If Mitch continues being garbage, at least Nagy can say he supported him. Can Gase say the same thing?
Joe Douglas has done a good job as of now of fixing O Line. He should add a receiver ONLY if Gase is fired. We bring Allen Robinson in here heâll be running the same screens Perriman is. And then what?
In a league full of flexibility unless your scheme is objectively good, having a rigid attitude towards scheme is going to fail. I realize my thread is all over the place. Deal with it.
Gase saying he doesnât have playcall for 4th and 7 is baffling. How does he convert 3rd or 2nd and 7? You improved the line. They canât hold for 2 seconds to get 7 yards? You canât scheme mediocre receivers open for 7 yards? Then why are you employed?
