The Curious Case of Adam Gase

[ScotlandJet]

Mike Greenberg on his ESPN show.  And he is spot on.

I almost cried when I read this piece from Greenberg

Jets under Adam Gase (17 games)

33 Touchdowns
93 Punts

-60 Margin is the worst in the NFL over that span.

When was the last time Gase had darnold throw a slant?
I honestly can't remember any of our receivers running slants.  Its all crossing and combination routes.

I don't understand why Gase hasn't simplified this offense especially with a shortened offseason.

I had this same thought about slants the other night during the Giants/Steelers game

#Jets CEO Christopher Johnson on his stance on in-season coaching changes: "I have complete confidence in Adam here. I’m really not going to deal with any hypotheticals with Adam or anyone else’s employment.”

I give up

"Look, just leave me alone and wait until November when my brother comes home and then it's his problem, all right?"

What's he supposed to say? 

[MBGreen]

What's he supposed to say? 

he's not supposed to suck Gase's dick.  Jesus christ...brilliant offensive mind? gimme a freaking break.

[Johnny English]

What's he supposed to say? 

"Adam and I have talked, I have informed him that he is woefully out of his depth and causing more damage to the team every day he comes to work, so as we speak I have security clearing out his office. If you want to speak with Adam directly I last saw him an hour ago sitting in his car in the parking lot alternately sobbing and yelling something about how I haven't heard the last of this and Peyton won't be happy with me."

He ran curl/flat and bubble/slant all game.  Buffalo's alignment took away the slant.  They were willing to give up the screen play and anything into the flat because they are strong tacklers.

The only time it bit them in the derriere was when Herndon made an elite block and Crowder broke that arrow pass for the long TD. 

The problem with Gase is that he goes away from things that appear to work but fail the first time.  The big crosser to Crowder that he dropped is a great way to beat quarters.  He never went back to that until the garbage time drive. 

[Heismanberg]

You can tell that the throwback screen to Herndon (that he fumbled) was a play they drew up and absolutely knew it was going to work.

McDermott excrement all over Darnold and Gase on Sunday. 

[Heismanberg]

You beat quarters with quick passes (probably why we were slant and flat heavy) and vertical plays, especially down the seam.  That's something we didn't see on Sunday and it was very disappointing. 

Herndon had all this hype and we didn't go to him down the seam at all. 

Our problem is that our best weapon after Bell went down was Jamison Crowder.  You want to get the ball to playmakers in space against quarters and hope they can pick up chunk yards.  We are just so thin at the skill positions that there wasn't much we could do.  It didn't help that Darnold was off either.

We arguably have the worst set of offensive skill players in the NFL, and Joe D is not doing much to bring in talent to help Sam.  Get ready to see a lot more of the same ineptitude.

He rebuilt the entire offensive line in one offseason.  It's going to take a while to fix everything.  I figured we'd start to see some fingers pointed at Joe Douglas.
