Defense and punting lead the way as Miami Dolphins win third consecutive vs Jets at Meadowlands

Yes, that is Channing Crowder doing the "Jet" celebration after making a play. I hope that image is burned into the heads of every Jets player, coach, and fan.

It's amazing how in a matter of six days, Jets fans went from being so mouthy and arrogant to so quiet and depressed. Quite frankly, it's a beautiful thing.

And when you come across one of those Jet fans, be sure to tell him or her that the Jets haven't beaten the Dolphins at home in Jersey since 2007. The Dolphins closed Giants Stadium with a win in their final trip. And now they open New Meadowlands Stadium with a win in their first game at the facility.

The Dolphins are also 4-2 against the Jets over the last three years under Tony Sparano.

If you can't tell, I'm obviously thrilled with the Dolphins' 10-6 win over the Jets on Sunday. Nothing cures the hangover from a loss to the Browns quite like beating the Jets in their own stadium.

Without further ado, let's get to the game's highlights:

Defense continues to carry team

Over the past month or so, we've seen Mike Nolan's defense carry this team. On Sunday, that trend continued as the defense forced two New York turnovers and held the Jets to just six points.

It all started up front. Last week, I stressed the importance of stopping the run against the Jets. Miami's defensive line was dominant on Sunday, holding the Jets two tailbacks to just 66 yards on 27 carries - their third consecutive dominant performance against a usually strong running attack. Paul Soliai continues to show he's worth investing a long-term contract in as the team's long-term nose tackle. He continually either ate up two blockers or disrupted the rushing play - making two tackles behind the line of scrimmage as well as sacking Mark Sanchez once.

Kendall Langford, Randy Starks, and Tony McDaniel were also all excellent on Sunday. Langford's one sack and forced fumble, in fact, set the Dolphins up for their only touchdown of the game. If there's one area that we can clearly say that the front office and coaching staff got right, it was building up the defensive line.

Star-divide

Of course, all of the defensive efforts were highlighted by Cameron Wake, who is making a strong case this year for not only being a first-team All-Pro but also a serious Defensive Player of the Year candidate. Wake now leads the league with 14 sacks after coming up with two sacks in a three play span on NY's final possession - the second sack being the game clincher for the Dolphins. Wake also had a tackle for loss on a Brad Smith rush attempt as being one of the two defenders (Channing Crowder the other) to make the stop on the 4th & 1 rush attempt by Shonn Greene.

Other defensive standouts on Sunday included Karlos Dansby, Channing Crowder (yes, the guy so many love to hate) and Sean Smith (who had four passes defensed and probably should have picked off three of them).

Speaking of interceptions, congrats to Nolan Carroll on his first interception. It couldn't have come at a better time - setting up the Dolphins first scoring drive.

I won't deny that the Dolphins were helped by numerous key drops out of these Jet receivers - none bigger than endzone drop by Santonio Holmes. Still, the Jets gained just 18.6 yards per possession. Six of their 15 drives were "three and outs." And nine of their 15 drives failed to even result in 20 net yards of offense - a dominant all-around performance by this Miami defense.

Fields the game's MVP

I honestly cannot remember a game where a punter was the number one star of the game. I can't recall a time in which a punter had this kind of positive impact on a team's success. On Sunday in lousy conditions, Brandon Fields was absolutely brilliant, changing the field position battle in favor of the Dolphins numerous times.

Fields punted ten times for 564 yards (56.4 yard average per punt), averaging a net of just under 50 yards per punt. That is a huge swing in field position. Fields had eight punts from inside his own 25 yard line - including four inside his own 15. But the Jets never had staring position following a Fields punt better than their own 44.

But if you really want to be impressed, just think about these swings in field position:

Punt from own 21...Jets start at own 34
Punt from own 9...Jets start at own 44 (punt fielded at the 30)
Punt from own 13...Jets start at own 41 (punt fielded at the 25)
Punt from own 25...Jets start at own 23
Punt from own 14...Jets start at own 34 (punt fielded at 24)
Punt from own 7...Jets start at own 35
Punt from own 37...Jets start at own 7
Punt from own 24...Jets start at own 30
Punt from own 19...Jets start at own 25

That's how you make up for an inept offense that was forced to punt as often as they were from deep in their own territory.

Offense flat out sucks right now

You could blame it on the weather. But that would be a poor excuse. After all, the Jets still managed 280 yards of offense. The Dolphins squeezed out just 131 - including only six first downs and only three drives of at least 15 yards of offense. In the second half, the offense's longest drive was just 13 yards.

That's pathetic.

Chad Henne looked terrible today. So that makes two awful performances in a row for Henne, who right now looks incompetent. There are no excuses, people. None. He has been wildly inaccurate. Now he's fumbling. He couldn't even fall on a fumble correctly. There isn't much he's doing right.

Frankly, I don't know how anyone can defend him anymore after watching his two performances these last two weeks.

But to put all of the blame on Henne for the offense's ineptitude would be unfair. The running game again failed to get going. The offensive line continues to get no push up front at the point of attack. And the receivers aren't getting open consistently.

Lots of problems on the offensive side of the ball for the Dolphins.

The trip

There's been a lot of talk about the incident that occurred along the Jets sideline during one of Brandon Fields' punts. Nolan Carroll, who is a gunner on the coverage team, was purposely tripped by a member of the Jets' coaching staff. The jackass - uh, I mean culprit - was Jets' head strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi.

You can read all about the incident (and see video) by heading over to any of the numerous South Florida newspaper websites (such as this one).

I don't want to spend too much time on this, though. My one thought is that I hope the guy is suspended without pay for the rest of the season (postseason included) by the Jets. That would be very fair punishment for a guy who is supposed to be a leader and set an example for his players to follow. He could have seriously injured Carroll. In a league where there's so much attention being given to preventing injuries and unnecessary hits, I hope the Jets and the league realize how ridiculous this action was and come down hard on a coach just as they would a player.

QUICK HITS
A few more quick thoughts on Sunday's win:

  • I'd be crazy not to highlight the contributions of Reshad Jones and Jonathon Amaya. Both were special teams monsters, with three tackles each. Jones, in particular, is becoming a special teams star. There's a noticeable difference when he's out there compared to when he is not.
  • Sean Smith made some excellent pass break-ups. But the kid has got to start catching some of these. Remember that interception in the preseason a year ago - when he used one hand to make the pick? Where are those hands now? Seriously? And why can't any of these defensive backs catch the football?
  • Dan Carpenter continues he's excellent season. Those were tough conditions to kick a 47 yard field goal in and he drilled in right down the middle.
  • Tony Sparano 3. Rex Ryan 1.
  • If this image doesn't put a smile on your face, check your pulse.
  • The Dolphins kept their slim playoff hopes alive on Sunday. And slim playoff hopes are better than no playoff hopes.

How much does losing to Cleveland on that INT hurt now? We'd be the 'last team out' at the moment.

Oh well, we’ve shown we weren’t good enough for the playoffs. On the bright side we have a monster defence shaping up very nicely, and enough decent players on offence that with a good OC and simply average QB play we could be very very good. (and no, I don’t know if Henne can even be average anymore but I’d like to think so) And for as bad as special teams has been at times, we have the best kicker / punter combo in the league.

There’s a lot wrong with this team. But there’s a lot right with it too.

I've been a Henne supporter all year...

but, I think it’s time to pull the plug after the season. If he can’t do anything against the Bills, pull him and put Thiggy in.

Let’s give props to our D-Line coach, Kacy Rodgers. He’s turned them into a dominant force this year.

Pittsburgh and the Jets

Also, Football Outsiders uses a stat that is adjusted for the strength of the defense to rate teams, and by their metric the current Pats offense is as good as the 2007 version, which was the best offense they’ve measured—and I think they have measured back to the nineties at this point. Scary.

Now I hate the Pats, and we almost always play them tough, so I’m not ruling anything out. But I just believe in looking at the situation as honestly as possible, and the honest truth is that the Pats are dominant right now.

I have to disagree with Matty on the SS passes defensed count.

I was watching on DVR, and I counted 5 before the replay shut off with about 5 minutes left in the 4th (thanks sweetheart). So when I saw the highlights on ESPN today, he had another hand on a ball with like 1:30 left in the 4th or so.

So that is 6 by my count. Now, I’m not saying he should have caught them all, because some of them would have been miraculous catches. However, he EASILY should have had 3 INTs and a pick 6. I usually don’t mind when a DB drops a pick if it brings up 4th down, bc we get the ball back anyway, albeit with crappier field position. However, can that guy get on a MF-ing juggs machine in practice? If I were the DB coach, SS…nay, all DBs, would finish practice with 100 catches off a juggs machine. Our defense is dominant, but they would be downright scary if they could catch even half of the balls that hit them in the chest and hands this season.

Henne to Hartline.

Maybe Henne’s lackluster play is the result of a MIA Hatline? Seems to me Hartline has a knack to get open on crucial plays. Anyhow our offense did look horrible today, but all the blame should not be put on Henne. WRs did a down right horrible job getting open, and play calling was not much better.

Hartline

For all those that didn’t appreciate that WR. He outside of Bess was the best at adjusting to Henne’s inaccurate passes. He would twist, turn stop, duck take big hits to try and get those passes. Henne rarely sent a good pass Hartlines way but that guy was on most of them. Henne is definately missing him.

Disagree

That hit where he fumbled and the Jets ended up with it (because RB tried to scoop it instead of falling on it) - that was not a blind side hit — Henne has got to have more pocket awareness than that! He was getting killed, yes, but I’ll bet if you look up all of the other QB ratings and stats of the Jets opponents this season you’ll find that Henne was by far the worst yesterday.

I want so much for Henne to get his act together, but I think he’s going in the opposite direction. I counted 2 good passes in the game with the one being to Fasano down the seam and the other on an out to Bess which Bess dropped.

The QB needs to see it coming when it's to his open side

Not blaming Henne for getting sacked, but you HAVE to see that guy coming. Shows a lack of pocket awareness — he only sees what’s directly in front of him, and that’s not good!

Frankly, I don’t know how anyone can defend him anymore after watching his two performances these last two weeks.

And yet, there were still people on the game thread screaming down anyone who mentioned Henne’s ineptitude. I know the gameday threads get a little ridiculous (okay, very ridiculous), but it gets to the point now where if you point out any flaw in Henne’s game you are tagged as a hater and a traitor.

How come Henne doesn't have the support that Sanchez does from the Jets?

The reason is because we are expecting him to be like Dan Marino and they are hoping Sanchez will be better than kellen Clemens. We have to let this young guy develop, Dan Marino in my opinion is the second best QB ever behind Peyton Manning. We can’t expect him to be Dan Marino, and I know he’s not close but we have to give him time, and yesterday against a good Jets D, and a bad O-line and a bad OC it doesn’t help…the kid is young, and I feel like we call for a new QB too quick and other teams let theirs develop and end up with a decent Franchise player…i hate to say the same thing but if he is missing wide open players thats somethign else…but no1 is open and he has no time and our WR’s do drops some balls…having no run game either certainly doesn’t help his chances or even a screen game to help get his momentum going…lets try and take the positives out of thise game, atleast he didn’t throw an INT for the first time in a long time

Yes

But we expect him to improve. He is regressing. His performance the last two weeks has been atrocious. I’m not expecting him to be like Marino. I never watched this team during the Marino area. I’m expecting him to improve and become a good player.

And really, what is wrong with expecting your QB to become elite? I am not content to deal with mediocre to poor QBs. I am not content to cheer for a loser. I want my team to go elite, so yes, I will hold my QB to a high standard. I have some patience for growing pains, and I was on the “it’s all Henning’s fault” bandwagon… but quite frankly I can’t find any positives in Henne’s play, and the problems go beyond playcalling.

Its tough to compare Sanchez to Henne when they play eachother because...

Sanchez throws a screen to Cotchery for 1 yard and Cotchery makes 3 defenders miss and turns it into 14 yards…Henne throws a screen and its dropped…Sanchez has a lot more time to throw as his O-line is def better than ours…and at this point right now the Jets have better Corners with Revis and Cromartie…not to mention Sanchez’s numbers would look wayyyyyyyy worse had Sean Smith not soaked his gloves in Olive Oil before the game…my point is both are young qbs and I think Sanchez has a lot more to work with given that his OL gives him a lot of time to throw the ball and the OC calls for easy passes that have potential for big YAC. We played a good defense, in horrible conditions and we won and for once Henne throw a pick (althought that fumble killed me as it took 3 pts off the board atleast!)…just trying to stay positive bc after a win we should think of the glass half full and we beat a 9-3 team in their stadium and better yet it was the Jets…lets focus on Bills, and honestly if he can’t bounce back vs Buffalo at home vs a hurt secondary then I will agree that I will have eventually jumped on the get a new QB bandwagon, but im not there yet as I would like to see him play under a better OC with a better o-line that can run the ball and guards that can actually pull which is why i have been advocating for a new OG/C this draft as our first rd pick and trade back a few spots to get a 2nd rounder back and draft another o-lineman. Focus the entire draft on o-line, and then Tight End and RB in rounds after 3…im kind of high on this guy Stanzi from Iowa and love his numbers and intangibles especially in a run first offense

There are jets fans calling for Sanchez's head

He has played poorly and a benching seems possible in the future. But Sanchez has been and is the best QB on there roster. Up until CP10 hurt himself again Henne was not. There are some that believe Thigpen deserves a longer look than that Bears game, a fair person would probably agree. Jets have had a long look at Clemens, he is definitly not the answer. Sanchez did earn the starting job, Henne did not. He was given it. The situations are different.

Alot of hopes were pinned on Henne, they were not fair and he is not holding up well under them. Yes there are definitly other problems within the offense, but Henne’s play especially currently is a big part of what is wrong.

I think it’s the other way around. I think the running game is suffering the same problem as last year. Eight in the box. Hard to run on that. I was hopping that Marshall would have taken care of that but it seems we can’t find him the ball either. The offense is pitiful and I have lost all respect and hope for Henne.

The part that bugs me the most is that with less than 3 minutes to go in the game Henne is snapping the ball with 10 second on the play clock. Come on this doesn’t require any skill or experience. Can’t blame a tough Jets defense on that either.

I have resisted but we have to bring in some change at QB. Even if it means losing because Thiggy throws some interceptions. It’s time to give the other guy a chance… really can he do any worse.

I don’t see how people can say Henne sucks when our Offensive Gameplan was to gain 10 yards and punt. I think Henne looked handcuffed all night in the passing game, and our O-Line is not suited to maul our way down the field in a Running battle. If you count how many times we only sent out 2 WR’s for routes you would be on your toes by the end of the first half. Get off the Henne hate bandwagon, he took some big shots last night and he’s still ticking. He may not have the “it” factor right now but he doesn’t get many chances to show “it” and hey, we beat the Jets.

If Henne isn't good enough (He is sucking out loud right now) then play him and see if he improves. If he doesn't, then our draft position will.

Let go of this idea that Thigpen is worth starting. He is not a starting QB and never really has been. Could Thigpen do better than Henne right now? Of course. What will it get us if he goes in? Not enough wins for the playoffs, a lesser draft position, and absolutely no chance that Henne can even be significant next season. This means we will get a QB in the draft that is no better than Henne but will look better after being rushed into the starting role under a new OC.

Henne is playing like garbage this month, but there is no sense in benching him now. The playoffs are a pipedream at best and we need a firm idea of our priorities for the offseason.

Let Henne show us if he really wants the job and if he doesn’t our draft position will improve and we will know exactly what priorities to address in the draft. Henne hasn’t started two full seasons yet and we are already wanting to cut him loose altogether.
4) How much of yesterday wasn’t Henne’s fault? My dad was reeady to crucify Henne when he tried running for a first down but what other option did he have? The only receivers to go out were Bess and Marshall and both were covered tight within 5 yards. Fasano and Ronnie were on the left side of the line blocking NOBODY! Once again Henning calls a third down play with only two pass options and 5 DBs on the field! That doesn’t fall on Henne. Henne completes his most beautiful pass of the day (Not counting the one Bess dropped that hit him in his hands) to Fasano and is immediately pulled off of the field so that Henning can go to the wildcat. We have been bitching for most of Henne’s starting career that Henning needs to knock off the wildcat crap when Henne makes big plays and just let him stay in his groove but Henning keeps calling plays that break up the offense’s momentum. If we ran a no-huddle offense he would call for a wildcat play just soo he could take personnel off the field and slow things down.

If we had a solid TE that could get open, we wouldn't be in this mess.

There is a saying UF uses. If one guy goes down, another guy stands up.

Hartline did this:

BM goes down @ CHI
Hartline is amazing in OAK
Hartline beats everyone deep @ CLE, but no completion (Henne fault)

Fasano didn’t:

Hartline goes to IR
Fasano nowhere to be found.

Your talking about 2 different positions

Fasano has been most effective when he has a true receiving tight end playing next to him (David Martin). It’s ridiculous to try and put the blame on our only starting caliber tight end. Hartline has nothing to do with Fasano.

After BM went down in the CHI game the receiving core as a whole stepped up and had an amazing game. Specifically Davone Bess who had the best day out of all of them, but to put things in perspective Oakland had a beat up secondary. It was Nmamdi Asomugha’s first game back from an ankle injury and the rookie on the other side couldn’t cover fo shit.

CLE game he did beat the rookie deep on that one play, but for the most part Haden was lockdown all day.

So pretty much there i don’t see the correlation between Hartline going on IR and Fasano having to step up in his place. Last time I checked when a receiver goes down, another receiver steps up. So that would be the undrafted rookies Wallace and Moore, but you can’t really put them at fault for anything especially since they went up against on of the top secondaries in the league.

that's why I think that Fasano should have stepped up.

Someone has to make up for Hartline’s production and their own production. Is it going to be Bess? Unlikely because of Revis. Is it BM? Unlikely because of the double team. Is it going to be a UDFA? no way. Is it going to be Fasano, who is going up against the backup SS since the Jets are blitzing? He should have exploited the backup. Also, Henning should have noticed them blitzing and call a few quick passes like a slant.

YOU think Fasano should have stepped up

that doesn’t mean he is at fault for the offensive struggles. Fasano has shown he can be effective with a pass catching tight end complimenting him. Also he may have been a backup to Leonhard but dont get it twisted, Brodney Pool is a starting safety in the NFL so I dont get all that exploiting nonsense.

And Bess replaced Hartline as the starting #2, so that means Wallace and Moore are next up, but they raw undrafted rookies and much cant be expected.

also the Jets blitz everyday of the week, thats nothing new, they did it last year and I dont see what the difference is now.

The difference is that last year and this year we had three good WR to get the ball to.

Who else is there that could possibly step up? Moore? Wallace? That is unfair to ask of them. Bess couldn’t be it because he gets so many snaps in a game that he is basically a starter, so he’d have to have a career day to make up for Hartline’s production against Revis.

@ Did I mention that Revis is kinda good? YOu know some might call him ‘shutdown’?.@

 Should Brown step up in the passing game? Williams? Henning hasn’t used our backs right since 08. Polite? I will seriously ‘LOL’ if you say the FB should have stepped up. Fasano? That is a possible concluesion, since the guy across from him is a backup. Shuler? Mastrud? Both UDFAs see Moore and Wallace. Epps? Just got on the 53, unreasonable. Seems like Fasano

Who else is there that could possibly step up? Moore? Wallace? That is unfair to ask of them.

Hello! Thats what I’ve been saying this whole time. They are raw undrafted rookies but unfortunately thats the rest of the depth we have at receiver. When a receiver goes down thats whats left to step up. I’m not saying that have to come in and ball out but thats all there is right now.

Bess couldn’t be it because he gets so many snaps in a game that he is basically a starter, so he’d have to have a career day to make up for Hartline’s production against Revis.

Umm Bess was the starter against the Jets. Anyway, a CAREER DAY to make up for Hartlines production against Revis? What the hell are you talking about??? A career day for Bess was against the Pats last year where he had 10 catches for 117 yards, Hartline has never done that in his career, so why would Bess need to do that to “make up” for Hartlines absence? Hartline wasn’t going to do anything notable against Cromartie or Revis anyway so all that is ridiculous

@ Did I mention that Revis is kinda good? YOu know some might call him ‘shutdown’?.@

Why are you asking running backs to replace a receiver? Why are you asking a FB to replace a receiver? Even better why are asking a tight end to replace a receiver? Heres an Idea..how about you replace a receiver with a receiver! :D

once again Wallace and Moore is all we had left but due to their inexperience they are not ready to come in an flat out ball. This is why the Dolphins signed Kevin Curtis, to replace a receiver with a receiver..hmm that sounds like a good idea dont you think?

Bess wouldn't have to just make up for Hartline, but he must produce for Bess and Hartline.

I was going through every single skills position to see who could step up. Ronnie is a very good receiver and if we put him in the slot, he wouldn’t be too bad. Too bad Henning never motions guys. the last time i remember him doing that a lt was when BM went off against the jets the last time.

Typically when a team signs a guy midseason, that guy isn’t going to light it up. Seriously, you think we should go into the game asking any of those three WRs to step up? Since we can’t, we have to look for other parts of the offense for a passing attack. Let me let you into a secret, even though Henning would like you to think the opposite, TEs are receivers as well as running backs. Hence the terms receiving TE and 3rd down back / scat back.

Brandon Fields

The guy has a leg, thats for sure… but with some of the long punts I think he may be out kicking his coverage, allowing for a return. I don’t want to take anything away from him, he is a great punter, and love the 69 yd punts. I just would like him convert some of the distance yardage into hang time yardage.

I know with swirly winds and everything its tough, but with the inconsistency of the ST this year I cringe every time there is a returnable punt.

Let's be honest

Why not try Thigpen this week as quarterback? How on earth could he be any worse than Henne? I know Hartline is out, but come on, Henne looks mentally and physically challenged out there. He’s clumsy, slow-footed, and dim witted. At least Thigpen can move around.

i second that

And I’m not one that was calling for Thiggy all year long. But lets go down swinging.

Put in Thiggy and give him 2 games to get comfortable before we play the Patriots. If he fails he fails it’s time to give him a chance.

As for Henne I think he is a great backup QB and he will improve over time. Let’s bring in a new QB and let them fight it out for a new offensive coordinator.

by sdelinois on Dec 13, 2010 8:57 AM EST up reply actions  

I disagree

again the whole offense sucked, not sure why Henne’s being singled out. Against Browns ok, but today?

That sack and fumble from Pace was such comedic blocking on our part. Henne tried to throw it but didn’t even get a chance to do that. We averaged 3.4 yards per carry between Brown and Ricky (and also a fumble, i am sure Henne’s fault too). Heck even Bess had drops.

This was more or less as bad as the Bears game, but again most defended Tyler and said (maybe rightly so) the whole offense sucked. The whole offense sucked today, plain and simple.

The reason we sucked was Henne.

We could not run the ball because they had 8 in the box all day.

So what are you supposed to do when they have 8 in the box. Quick slants, dump offs, screens any type of quick pass that can beat the blitz.

Hey we did the same thing to them and they only got 6 points. The difference in this game was the jets early turnovers gifted our offense 10 points. If it wasn’t for that we would had 0 points.

But the jets at least got 6 points and 200+ yards passing. I would have been happy with 150 yards passing but we got 55 yards.

A McCluster type running back is not far fetched for the 3rd round, and would provide another spark for this offense if the running game is lacking. QB is not a necessity with a new OC. I’m sorry but Henne has the tools to air it out if needed, we just need an OC with a brain to scheme it. If Henning for whatever reason stays, then I guess we will have to start looking. I would be pretty mad if that happened.

I think the ironic thing is people forget why we created WC, because our offense couldn’t move the ball with Penny. Yes Henne has better WRs, but Penny had a much better OL.

CP10 could move the team without the WC, he had a good season. Remember the Wilcat we run generally takes the QB out of the game. Its not like defenders were setting up for the wildcat with CP10 under center, they had to defend the pass. THe Wildcat was a nice thing to help the running game get going and make alot of use out of two starting RBs. But CP10 could move the ball regardless, and with weaker receivers. The WC help out alot that year, but CP10 was still good regardless of it.

CP10 was a better QB then Henne, so I don’t think he should be brought in to try and defend Henne. WE saw thiggy thrown out to the wolves and given no support. Almost everything was worse for Thiggy in the bears game then it was for Henne in this Jets game, outside of QB play itself. Thiggy started one game as a Dolphin, in a bad sitation that got worse during the game. Henne has had many starts and games to form an opinion about him.

IT was developed during the preseason however

He moved the team fine in the first game we didn’t win. The second game didn’t go well. He has won games when the WC was not always effective. WC helped him, but the WC was to make the running game more effective. CP10 was a good QB that put together a fine year with not the greatest receiver core one could have. He helped make the WC effective, because he played his part protected the ball made the good passes and helped us win the games.

CP10 is not god he is not an Elite QB. But he was a good QB derailed by some serious shoulder issues. He helped this team and played well for it and deserves a hell of alot more respect then Henne does.

Don't get me wrong

I am not criticizing Penny, but as Farorefox said, we only used WC in week 3 because our offense sucked. Our offense has sucked with Penny, with Henne, with Thiggy.

I keep saying what do we have to lose trying a different OC, then making a decision on whether players are good or not?

Lets look at the D, Solai is a great example, did anyone think he will play this good? Clemons? even Wake. Everyone (and rightly so) is giving credit to Nolan.

We ALL agree Henning sucks. Get a new OC and then lets re-evaluate Henne and others.

Tyler did not play well in the bears game

But the Oline was worse in that game and the running game was abandoned. THe running game was used all game long last night even though it was not producing alot. Thigpen was left to do everything for the O in the Bears game. It would have been alot worse had Henne played I will stick to that, and I think games like last night back up that idea. ALso the D didn’t play as well either. Henne had some great field positions that Thiggy could only have dreamed of in that bears game.

Again I am not saying Thigpen is the answer, but he deserves a longer look. Henne has played himself out of the starters role.

IF the D had not set us up so well in this game, played great and made those ten points enough the discussion about who would be starting next week would be an easy one. But it is hard to bench your starter when the game was technically won, even if it is the right decision.

Sorry, but the average Jets fan hasn't been mouthy or arrogent.

Look at the debate over the past few weeks at GGN. We’ve been really split on the fact that the Jets are barely beating bad teams and losing to not bad teams. I mean if you have a defense then we won’t score a TD on you plane and simple. Also, Snachez will gift wrap you some picks even if Sean Smith declines them on delivery alot of the time.

Fortunately, our schedule has been fairly soft this year to cover for our offensive (Coaching) woes. I know you guys understand the OC woes. I’d find it funny if we finished with the same record at the end of the season, which is entirely possible as both sides have talked trash all season and it seems to be a wash at this point.

Some thoughts...

8 in the box: I think a lot of that had to do with the way the Jets play D and our formations rather than Henne’s ineptitude. Revis is manned up a lot with safety help to the other side (if there is even another receiver). We played a lot of one and two receiver sets.

Thiggy: Thigpen hasn’t done anything that makes me think that he can do better than Henne with this offense and OC. I’m not sold on Henne, he still has a lot to work on. But I would rather win than lose for the sake of seeing what Thiggy’s got.

OL: Every seems to assume that Grove/Smiley/Thomas would have been the same this year as last year. Smiley played 5 games and is out, Thomas has been on the Lions for 3 games and hasn’t played, Grove is still not playing for anybody. Yeah our three interior linemen aren’t as good as last years, but apparantly last years would have been worse.

Thank you...

I commend you, these are the key points of why Henne is inconsistent. Icognito, Berger, McQuistan are not maulers, therefore we are losing on our Running Game. The experience they are getting right now is priceless, and after a full offseason I think they will be better starters. You know Sparano will go out and draft linemen, he always does. These guys are healthier, and hopefully John Jerry can shake the injury bug because I think he will be good too. Thiggy is definitely not the answer and more then likely won’t be at all. Hard to get any type of offense going with a High School gameplan.

I mean until you guys realize that there is something inherently wrong in our Offensive system...

it’s a moot point. Our Running game is sub par, our WR’s can’t get adequate separation, our offensive line can’t create proper windows for Henne to throw through. Take a look at successful offenses in this league. Watch them, do they send 2 receivers on routes in a 3rd & long situation? How often does their personnel change compared to ours? If we have to come from behind to win, do you feel that our system will allow for that capability, or that Henne is not capable of doing that?

I don’t think we ever have. But It’s time to. The last first round QB Marino. The one prior to Marino, Griese. It’s time to take the risk*. I don’t mind him sitting for a year and giving Henne a last shot. We can address whatever in the next draf. We just need to try and build a serviceable oline in free agency. Running backs are a dime a dozen. Plus Sheets may still be something. Then all have to do is find a raw WR with speed and a pass catching TE would be nice. Well those two are more like perks right now. Of course get a new OC and Quarterback coach. I don’t want Davis Lee anywhere near the new QB. He’s had 3 2nd round quarterbacks on this team (including Beck) and all seem to be bust if Henne doesn’t grow.

Put it this way.

I believe Henne is babied because he has to be. I think if they let him open it up he will turn into a INT god. Our defense wins us game. They hold most teams to under 20 and under points. The game doesn’t look natural to Henne. He plays like a slow computer. He’s in inaccurate in terms of ball placement. But he’s good at throwing a catch-able balls. The bad thing is if there is good coverage he becomes a big risk for INT’s because of ball placement. Add to that the decision making issues leads to INT’s. He locks on to receivers whens he’s not comfortable which leads to INT’s. Moral of the story is I think his name is Chad INT Henne. His supporting cast doesn’t make it easier on him. But he has his problems that are squarely on his shoulders. I haven’t seen any growth and don’t think he’s a starting caliber QB. Since I don’t think he could be our guy there is no reason for me to not want to sell the draft for a QB.

54, you've made great points on why Henne...

will continue to be unsuccessful, and your concerns are valid because defenses have had a lot of success against us. These problems that he is having are more related to the system he is playing in than anything.

When a team brackets coverage on our receivers that means there is essentially a very small chance that we will beat the coverage deep. Defenses will continue to do this until we prove we are going to go deep, and be aggressive doing it.

Defenses know they can do this because when we run in formations with 2 WR’s, they can leave 8 in the box and still accomplish this. This would only change if we decided to put more than 2 WR’s on the field or have someone that can run past the coverage. Our best chance at that happening is Hartline, and he’s hurt now.

Our line right now is not strong enough to go toe to toe against 8 man boxes, it hasn’t happened consistently all year. So when you look at all this, we are forcing a young quarterback to be 100% accurate on timing routes, slants, and out patterns because we cannot effectively run, or throw the ball deep.

Last time that was expected of Manning he threw a pick 6 along with 2 other interceptions.

So our system is hindered by Henne, not Henning?

That means we don’t need a OC, but a QB. I think playcalling is our major problem on O (except for CLE, that’s on Henne). Henning still thinks we have a dominate running game and ok passing attack, like 08. The roles have pretty much switched (although our passing attack isn’t dominate). How Henning is calling the games would work, but we don’t have the players for that. What Henning is lacking is the ability to work with the players he has. He tries to work with the ideal players for his system. Here is the QB that is Ideal for our system as it is now.

I was just pointing out that this system doesn’t exactly work. and yes i did read it. And tried to point out that he won’t adjust the system to work with Henne. even though I don’t like it, the best system fr Henne is a vertical passing attack. While the ideal QB in this system is a west coast QB.

true.

 But Henne has problems with ball placement in a vertical game. Whenever he has time and throws a deep pass it’s usually off. Maybe he’s doesn’t have the timing down because they don’t practice it that much. But at year “3” it’s concerning.

He had it down to a science in college, even on a bad knee.

I think that we practice the deep ball enough. I went to the ‘08 TC and the only guys that would run routes more than 15 yards down field were Turner and Ginn. Both of them are gone. I think that we were hoping for a powerful running game, we did mess with a good O-line for no reason, to win us the games and a great D. We also got Marshall, who isn’t the best deep threat while having our #2 guy be a YAC WR that can get down the field in a hurry. I think this created what Henning tried to do, but he should have realized that we would need a speedier #1 than we have to let Henne blossom. I was hoping for Ford last draft just for that purpose. Didn’t get him and we drafted an athletic ILB that has little football knowledge that is going to be hampered by the ACL injury for a long time.

And now I’m thinking that either BM or Bess should go (just listen, I’m not crazy). Both are basically the same WR. Bess is like Ward light and BM is the supreme YAC WR. If we traded BM with as good (for the team) as a contract as he has we might be able to get 2 2nds and use them on a fast WR and receiving TE. If we traded Bess, we would get a 2nd and then a fast WR to actually change the system to where we would get to see a deep ball often. Also, it is weird how Henne was having just as good a year with Ginn as his #1 as he is now with BM. I think that Henne would thrive with a good speed guy.

This isn't college

And I’ve yet to see him consistently throw a deep ball in the NFL. I rather keep BM and Bess and try to find a deep threat on the other side. We should of never of gotten rid of Ginn without a replacement speedster. But If we have to trade Marshall to move up in the draft I’m cool wit it.

Wake up folks

The Henne train has left the station. The real question is who do we bring in next year. Sparano practically said as much last week when he said the QB situation will be evaluated at the end of the season.

for you blind and deaf people that means we’re going to let him play out the season because we have nobody else that can play. But next year we’re going to bring in some new QB’s.

Just because the most important position on the field is play subapr

doesn’t mean that the person playing that position tis the sole only reason why it is sub par. YOu got to have blocking, which we don’t have, a running game would be nice, WRs getting open constantly and actually catching the ball would be great too. Also a OC that doesn’t mostly do WC, run, 3rd and long ok pass for a 1st down or even a OC that doesn’t pull your QB while he is finally getting into a lil rhythm to run the WC to get 3-4 yards would greatly help the QBs stats

What I see from Henne is that he will still be a liability if he had a good line, running backs, and WR’s. So with that said and having him playing the most important position, he has to go.

This analysis has probably already been done and with better graphics, but just for sake of argument...

I compared Chad Henne this year and Eli Manning in 2005 (his second full season starting)

Chad Henne 2010 (second full year starting)
21-34-182-0-0-75.9
9-15-114-1-0-106.0
26-44-363-2-1-91.4
28-38-305-2-3-81.6
23-39-231-2-1-82.3
23-36-257-1-1-82.8
24-37-217-0-1-69.3
22-34-231-0-3-47.5
After Benching
19-28-240-1-1-91.4
17-30-307-2-1-100.3
16-32-174-1-3-37.8
5-18-55-1-0-58.3
Maybe Chad just needs to get benched again and come off the bench one more time…
Maybe use the Thigcat against Buffalo and if ineffective, bring Henne off the bench again with
minimal prep…
QB Rating thus far…76.5

Eli Manning 2005 (second full year starting)
10-23-172-2-2-62.2
13-24-165-1-0-89.8
24-41-352-2-0-102.9

29-53-344-2-1-79.4
12-31-152-0-2-27.9
28-44-312-1-3-63.8
17-32-186-1-1-68.0
23-41-244-1-1-71.6
12-24-204-1-0-93.1
Playoff Game v. the Carolina Panthers (L 0-23) 10-18-113-0-3-35.0
QB rating: 75.9

I agree that Henne has looked terrible at times. I can’t help but believe that we should draft a raw QB sleeper
and try to develop him while we figure out if Henne is fixable…His contract isn’t breaking the bank…
fix the Offensive Line…turn Philip Merling into an SOLB to provide some play-making ability opposite Wake
Move Vernon Carey to LG imagine Long and Carey next to each other…draft a promising RT rookie…try Richie Incognito at center…he could be the answer to our center issues…

what a job hes done. to have odrick and merling go down this season and play the way we have up front is sensational. It remains very concerning to me however that we have never had the same depth on the o line. Sparano and DeGuegs seem to be brutal on those guys. We filter through them constantly. many who showed improvement as well. EXP. Ike ndukwe. Andy Alleman. Donald Thomas. Evan mathis. Andrew gardener. i wont include jake Grove because no matter what Sparano says i am assured he was cut for injury reasons

but that was absurd when marc Shelereth mocked Dan henning on Tv

the fact is this. In that game against the Bears. Joe berger was out. Cory proctor started at center and went down 2 plays into the game on the shed screen to davone bess. A horrible injury btw to have him go down for year with out a hit. Richie moved inside and Pat McQuistan played left gaurd pushing John jerry into a three down role. From that point on we ran 7 times only not because we wanted to be one dimensional but rather because the interior of the line stood no chance against the bears front with the injuries at the time

On Nolan being tripped:
“He should be ashamed of himself,” linebacker Channing Crowder said. “I wish they’d tripped me. I’d have broken that old man’s leg.”

Linebacker Karlos Dansby grabbed a reporter’s iPhone with the photo and stuck it in front of several TV cameras, urging Commissioner Roger Goodell to take action.

“Goodell, c’mon man. Goodell, handle this,” Dansby said while looking into the TV cameras. “Suspend him, man. Get him up out of there, man. He’s bringing the whole organization down.”

This team has got something right. These guys know Rule #6:

Henne

Henne just plain sucks. He can’t think or react fast enough to be a half-assed quarterback, much less a good one. I don’t know if Thigpen can do it or not, but let’s see. Bottom line, we will never go far in the playoffs unless we find a quarterback with leadership skills who has dome balls.

Its hard to act or react when you got 1 sec before someone is in your face

Actually, I don't think a robot could do it.

Henning seemed to not get the fact they were blitzing every down and called long developing routes. Remember Brandon’s firt reception that got us in an And Goal situation? How about Bess’s first reception? Or the TD catch? We needed more quick passes like that, but those were lacking from the gameplan.

Henne haterz?

I’m not jazzed on him, but he’d probably be doing better if he didn’t have to depend on Henning’s three-and-out offensive scheme.

Bitch all you want, but until Miami has a real Offensive Co-ordinator, we’re just going to have the most well-practiced punter in the league….

After all, despite all the BS and lost opportunities, Henne’s still on pace to have a 3000 yard passing season.
