Yeah, Zach Wilson was pressured on 80% of his dropbacks yesterday. I don't think he had the opportunity to throw a pass from an actual pocket before he was concussed out of the game.

Do we think that Joe Flacco, who was repeatedly terrible as the Jets backup the past 2 years behind an equally bad OL, would be good now? No way.

Good morning!
Yeah my conclusion out of all of this is that the Jets probably would have been a 2022 Broncos-style disaster this year if Rodgers had stayed healthy

I think the conversation is more in service of those who think Saleh is only a healthy Rodgers away from doing well and therefore keeping his job.

Obviously, glaring issues with other areas of the roster aren't exactly helping Saleh's case..

These are all fine ideas, but I think it's very safe to assume that all the backups and free agents who've been serviceable would have totally failed with the Jets o-line in front of them

If you want to blame the current regime for positions lacking talent, those mean a lot more than which D-tier QB should have been picked up, or the reality that everyone's hopes and dreams were pinned on an ancient QB surviving behind that line

The line that absolutely embarrassed themselves yesterday was pretty much the line they wanted to go into the season with other than AVT. It's the worst line in the NFL and everyone knew it all offseason and preseason. It would've destroyed the season even if Rodgers didn't get hurt.

Yeah, that's the point

If Saleh deserves the boot for offensive roster failure, it's his o-line, not the lack of a slightly less lovely backup QB

The Jets have had 3 games under Saleh with his 30% winning% where they have been plausibly alive for a playoff longshot in December and they have ATE COMPLETE poo poo in all 3. He sucks. He's just as bad as any coach we've had including Gase and there is zero chance they will ever win anything while he's here. If they keep him they are punting good time and money after bad that they have already pissed away in the last 13 years.

When asked which Pokemon he evolved into, Kamara pauses.

"Motherfucking, what's that big dragon shit? That orange motherfucker. Charizard."

There’s maybe 5 teams with an actual good OL and then a bunch of teams just doing poo poo with scheme and play calling to hide the fact that they’ve got huge liabilities at certain spots, or across the board.

The Jets O Line looks so bad in part because the offense coaching is bad and the offensive coaching is bad because they hired a loser fresh off of one of the worst head coaching jobs ever just because they didn’t believe Aaron would go to the only team that even wanted him without hiring all of his loser friends.

The Jets have had this pathetic, groveling, loser energy ever since they started courting Rodgers and it’s really no surprise that they basically gave up as soon as he went down because that’s what losers do, they give up.

It's as simple as his head coaching record is 16-32. That's a .333 winning percentage! Coaches have been fired for way, way worse. I don't care what the circumstances are, better coaches will show a lot more than 5 wins a year.

Hoping that Saleh will magically turn it around next year is damning the franchise to go 6-11 again. What's the point?

Jets are in a reasonable draft position to draft QB3 in the upcoming draft. Idk if that matters or not. Most coaching regimes don’t get three chances to get a franchise qb.

Saleh just seems like a classic case of good coordinator, bad head coach. The defense is top shelf but the offense has been so wildly mismanaged on all fronts. I can see him sticking around and the Jets trying to give the Rodgers experiment one more shot next year with a focus on the O-line in the offseason, but it's that or fire everyone

Things the Jets need:

- A healthy QB who is not a tomato can. So not Rodgers, not Zach Wilson.
- A starting tackle and better OL depth
- Another receiving threat
- A qualified OC

Would you trust Joe Douglas and Saleh to get those things?

It's more than just a starting tackle. They need at minimum a LT and RT assuming your 2 building blocks are Vera-Tucker and Tippmann, but probably need a starting Guard as well since Laken Tomlinson is marginal at best and represents significant cap savings if cut.

Most teams have a lot of problems going into an offseason and if lucky are able to solve most of them. Never all of them. Firing everyone doesn't fix those problems either. The Jets gambled for the Rodgers experiment last season and got snakebitten on day one, we can speculate about how the season would have gone with Rodgers back there but we don't actually know, and I can see the team deciding it's worth trying one more time.

I don't trust Saleh and Douglas to fix that but the decision isn't up to me, I'm trying to put myself in the shoes of the idiot owners who would have to make that choice. Go for the Rodgers last run one more time or blow everything up and start fresh again? Hard to see which side they'll land on.

If you're handcuffed to Rodgers anyways, fire everyone but Hackett. When the team flames out next year, fire Hackett then.

Peter King says Tomlin is on the warm seat: https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/fmia/news/nfl-chiefs-patrick-mahomes-jake-browning-playoffs-fmia-week-15-peter-king

quote:

The seat’s toasty for Mike Tomlin.

quote:

Mike Tomlin, coach, Pittsburgh. An awful decision by Tomlin with the Steelers down 11 with 18 minutes to play. Pittsburgh had a fourth down at the Indianapolis 39-yard line with a kicker who’s made five of six from 50 and beyond this season. But Tomlin bypassed giving Chris Boswell a chance to make it a one-score game on a 57-yard attempt in an indoor stadium—with a bad offense in a game he had to have. And on the play before, instead of choosing to get Boswell closer on third-and-14, the Steelers, in a big offensive hole, threw incomplete deep for George Pickens instead of just trying to get it closer to make it a one-score game. Bad day for the Steelers and their coach.

Can someone talk about Mike Tomlin's scheme background? Despite everybody talking about how great a coach he is, all I know is he deploys a 3-4 defense and usually has good defenses.

He came up under Dungy in Tampa then did a year with the Vikings as their DC. He was actually a 4-3 guy for most of his career and also focused on the secondary.

Tomlin and Cowher are/were never really credited with too much of a specific tactical philosophy, even though they always ran a 3-4. Cowher's defenses were really innovative at the beginning but that mostly seemed to be given to the coordinators. They're mostly thought of as man-managing players coaches and I think part of why they can get kind of underrated(as much as a HOF coach and maybe future HOF coach can be)

Noll was before my time but I kind of suspect he was similar; never really hear too much about his playcalling or innovative ideas. Steelers have a type

Saleh is absolutely getting fired. Anybody leaking to the media about how it’s not their fault is dead already. Rodgers never said poo poo about wanting to play for him.

I think Tomlin isn’t going anywhere this year but if the Steelers eat poo poo next year maybe. I do give him a ton of respect for wasting that cromagnon dipshit watts career though

Sir, I'm going to need to see your ticket.
The candidates for a job where you're handcuffed to a bad offensive coordinator and an aging quarterback who is going to get surly if you try and draft his replacement are going to be brutal.

I guess the best bet would be to hire an offensive minded coach like LaFleur and just have Hackett as an intermediary?
