First off, this is my first post and I'd like to introduce myself. I've been fins fan for as long as I can remember, in a family full of jets fans. I also attend college up in Boston and wear my fins gear proudly to class. Two years ago I took a lot of shit, but last year all I heard was excuses. These circumstances have shifted my hatred away from the Jests and placed it more on the Patriots, so every year I hope the Pats go 0-16 and the jets 2-14. ;-P Any way, onto the fins...

If I were coach, I would...

...Bench Teddy Ginn. He has no courage or confidence, and his penchant for dropping passes and running out of bounds/falling down when he manages to hold on to the ball have been well documented. Activate Turner instead and let's see what we have, he can't do any worse... I doubt he would have handed the ball to Darren Sharper. I'm not saying to take him out of the offense for the rest of the year, just one game. The benching should motivate him. The coaches need to rebuild his confidence. The deep ball against the Jets and his devastating runs on end arounds have flashed his ability, so that's where we start. As good as Ricky has been as the motion man in the Wildcat, let's put Ginn there on a few plays. He is faster to the edge and it's as good a way as any to build his confidence, plus we can move Ricky to Cobbs' old spot. That and a few play action shots down field should build him back up. He's not a #1 receiver, but should we ever find one, he'll be a great #2.

...Get Wake more playing time. It's clear that Porter is less than 100%, so getting Wake more active in the defense could help Porter get healthy while Wake gains experience. Our secondary is less than perfect, so pressure is important, and Porter is not getting it done this year. It's also helping the argument that Wake has been playing well when in the line-up. I think that a rotation on that side would be a good way to go. If Wake starts getting man-handled, then end the experiment. But if Porter starts dominating as he gets healthy (which I think he will), get him, Wake and JT on the field at the same time.

...Play more aggressive defense. Look at how foolish the pressure made Brees look in the first half. Do that every game. Mix up the defensive fronts with aggressive blitzes and recapture that danger we showed. Get Culver (and Clemons) more involved. We seemed to play much better when we had three safeties on the field. The offense has put up over 30 points a game since Henne took over, it's time for the defense to step up for an entire game.

...Kick Pasqualoni and Henning in the rear. Seriously, WTF? The defense was firing on all cylinders the first half, so the playcalling becomes more conservative? We have been the MOST successful running team behind our two great running backs, powerful O-line, and the wildcat. So we come out of halftime up by 14 and naturally we were running throwing? What? Why did we mess with what was working?

We've shown that we have the ability on both offense (vs. the Jets and Bills) and on defense (vs. the Bills and early vs. the Saints), now we just need to do it consistently, that's the step I feel we need to take to be a truly great team.

That's it for now, hope you like it, and go easy on me.
