The Official 2024 NY Jets Thread

Thoughts on the Rex push to coach again?

Maybe he’s not a decade long fix. But can he get pride back in the building? He’s not wrong that the roster is talented and just not playing with emotion.

I like Rex and his energy. I like the idea of hiring somebody who is familiar with the Jets culture and still wants to be there. I think he would have ideas on how to make the most of this defense.

I worry about the offensive side of the ball. THey have hired defensive head ooach after defensive head coach and they have stunk on offense for years. I especially worry about the offense because they don’t have a qb.

It’s hard to start over on offense with a defensive minded head coach.

I didn't realize how bad it was. Hoping for intangibles? Like the old saw goes, if Rex is the answer; what is the question? The Jets (Pats, Gints) need a competant front office. Look what happened when the Mets got one. Player morale will improve the second Rodgers is gone.

I don’t disagree. But you can’t just fire a billionaire owner and he seems incapable of hiring anyone successful at building a team.

And I understand what hiring Rex looks like to other fan bases. My question would be, find someone who wants to be there, can take on the task of cleaning up this mess and don’t give me a semi-unknown NFL coordinator.

Thats why I like the idea of Curtis Martin as head of football operations. He wants to be there and has respect in the league. Let him hire the GM and HC.

well…this is intefesting…

Jets tab Tannenbaum to assist in GM, HC search

The Jets are retaining The 33rd Team to support them in their upcoming general manager and head-coaching searches.

Well. I'm off to FL on Thursday for golf and the Jets/Dolphins game with my old college roommate. He lives down there and someone in his neighborhood is an ESPN Exec with tickets to the game and he invited me down.

When I accepted the invite this August, I did not think the Jets would be 3-9 and one of the worst teams in football. Good thing he lives on a nice course and has a huge scotch collection.

Before yesterday’s game….I actually believed the Jets could win. They had a bye week to setttle in. They said Rodgers was the healthiest he had been all season. All skill players were healthy..D relatively healthy. Seahawks traveing across the country to play at 10 am.

nope. Bad luck…stupid penalties and an ineffective Rodgers does them in again.

Leonard Williams said something I read somewhere else before.….Rodgers plays like an old quarterback who doesn’t want to get hit. Chuck and duck.

I saw Rodgers on MacAfee about a month ago and he was using wired ear buds rather than air pods. MacAfee asked him why….and Rodgers said he had to protect his brain. I guess there is some belief that air pods are bad for your brain.

Anyway…i think Rodgers is at the point in his life where he is so fixated on crazy health stuff, he has finally realized that having a 300 DL land on him is unhealthy.

Rodgers is done…for the heck ot if, I would like to see what Tyrod Taylor can do these last few weeks.

Sadly…Rodgers contract…whether he retires or gets cut…or plays…will still kill the Jets the next couple years. But who cares..move on and try again with another qb.

They had a week off on bye to sharpen up the loose spots and they're 3 months into the season and they had a delay of game at home on 2nd down....then 12 men on the field. That's just 2 of the 10 penalties they had in the half. Inexcusable.

How about McDonald lining up in the neutral zone?

What are your thoughts on Ulbrich? I think he has too much Jets stink on him to be successful in NY. I am looking forward to him going to the Patriots and winning 12 games a year.

I think he's a dope. Seems like a good guy, I'm sure he's a tough SOB. But he's so far in over his head, I feel sorry for him.

If you look at the Raiders, they turned to Antonio Pierce in a similar fashion and that team responded to him very well early on.....however, now you look at that move and he's nothing special and soon to be back somewhere as a DC.
