he has some boyish mannerisms, but he'll grow out of them i think.
best of all, he seems to play his best when it counts. that is an
ideal qb trait. the light goes on at the right time.
That stuff is good in high school and college...he's in a totally different
world now....he lost his leaders from last year, guys who put that feeling
into the huddle, Faneca and TJ....it seems they are trying to get Mangold to
do that.....Sanchez's boyish mannerisms may appeal to some in the pop set
today but it does not translate well to on the field leadership or taking
charge...I don't care how you cut it...the QB is a different animal...he
must take charge and that means more than just play well...he's not doing
that.

agree but he is such a young fellow. easy to excuse folly for now so
long as he's making strides. all we've seen so far this year is the
preseason. last year he was tossed into the starting role having only
one full season of college under his belt. he's got good stuff and
will grow into the leadership role. before he can do that, he has to
build up his on confidence. that will happen as he plays and lears
more. we've heard that he has learned a bunch more, now he needs to
make it work for himself on the field. it is hard to take charge and
control an offense if you dont yet have full ownership of your own
position. he's on the way to getting the first step completed. after
that, he'll be more of a man on the field

Sanchez doesn't have t be great just average because last year he
sucked.

Michael...ownership of a position is one thing...taking charge is quite a
different thing. I played on a college team where the #1 Qb went
down...then the #2 guy...the rest were not even an option and a very good
running back stepped up...he had very little time to figure it out, and had
never thrown a pass in a game...but he was the leader, he gave O linemen
Hell if they missed a block, he was tough, he was always the guy in charge
and he was serious...it can happen. Tom Matte did it...go look at that list
of plays on the wristband on display in Canton. BTW....Kellen did look good
last night...he has a very live arm, there was a good cross field breeze and
it did not bother his throws at all. Brunell had a couple of guys open and
his throws got caught in the wind and hung up...not the velocity Kellen had.

Papa... Sanchez did not even know the offense. "red light, yellow
light, green light" Perhaps it is harder to get on a line guy with
any authority for missing a block if you dont even know what he is
supposed to block in the first place and everyone around you knows
it. All I'm saying here is that he'll be more of a leader when he
himself is confident about his position and has proven it. All he
needs is a little more time to demonstrate himself and then I expect
you'll see him move into a leadership role. If not, he can go double
date with Matt Lienart. They can take their "chicks" out for hot
dogs. I'd consider cutting him some slack. Jeez... He did not have
much experience. Just one year starting at USA. We all knew we'd
have to bare with it. He's got skills and a good attitude. A guy like
that can move ahead.

He can move ahead...well, he sure as Hell can't go much further back and
still be the first string QB....he has NO excuses about not knowing the
offense now...that should have been over half way through last season...now,
it's not even a question...and if it is it only says one of two things,
either Sanchez is an idiot, and I don't think he is, or Schott can't
communicate the offense...but after a year it has to be one or the
other...we shall see, there are a lot of guys who came out of college and
got it going....it seems that with the Jets it's always a "little more time"
deal, then something else happens.

McKnight looked horrendous from what I saw...and, he did not block either.
I had a very good view of things, it is a very nice stadium...I had never
been there before....McKnight is one of those guys who thinks his speed is
much greater than it is...he dances way too much, is tentative, looks to go
outside and makes the cut inside too late...plus he fumbles.
I can't agree with you on Washington. His wife only spoke out after the
Jets decided to get rid of him....right here in my own neighborhood there
are wives who shout like crazy for their husbands to get more, more,
more...that is not a big deal. It's all about production and play on the
field....the Jets are going to regret this move.

McKnight's just another NFL head-case walking ego. Too bad we drafted him, as he'll be
taking up a roster spot, unfortunately.
I do like the other Washington kid, & USC product, Chauncey. Tough runner, with a great
attitude.
He was interviewed after the game, and seems like an intelligent, confident kid, with his
head on straight. Kinda surprised two other teams have already released him, previously.

In training camp the med staff is way too loose I think, especially with non
"star" players....what I did like about Hard Knocks (even though I don't
like a lot of the stuff about what I see) is you see how the current
business situation keeps them from presenting the best game, team and
putting the best players on the field. I simply do not believe that one
guy, Revis, is so freakin important that they let the team aspects of the
game go for him. I also can not understand why Tannenbaum and Woody have so
freakin much to say about peformance of players...they should be listening
to coaches, not talking and then they can do their thing. I think it would
be a good thing for the league if Revis just sat for three years and that's
it. There will never be the level of play and quality of team if they keep
caving to a few superstars. Then...add two more games...you gotta be
kidding me, like they don't have enough injuries already.

It is a foregone conclusion, but I am a purist, and I am dead-set
against it. There aren't enough quality players as it is on the 53 man
roster. Who really has quality depth? Super Bowl shouldn't be decided
by who won the war of attrition. Does this now mean players will get
an @ 12% raise fro the extra games? I am old school as it gets (for a
42 year-old, anyway). Too many teams as it is in NFL, MLB and NHL.
(Don't know or care about NBA). Talent pool is already diminished as
it is. They damn well better have 2 byes when they got to 18 games.
Sean
It is a horrible idea....the season is too long now as it is. If they think
guys will not get through that actual season without a lot of "help" they
are nuts.

It will happen because of money but players will have shorter careers
& ultimately make less money.
Go read "How Football Explains America" by Sal Palantonio....it makes so
much sense as that book explains....the greed of America is on full display
in the NFL...and ultimately it will bring down the league and the Nation.

Some of this ALS research linking head injuries should be enough to

You are right...and that is really sad....very sad. The average age for a

I remember when Columbia blew up on him. He had some success at
Princeton with his son. He has made a lot of money with that
Princeton degree.
Who had success at Princeton????? His son did as I recall. Judd was a
running back and Jason was a QB...all three boys, including John went to
Columbia for the one year their father was there and then transferred back
to Princeton...Jim was never a coach at Princeton....Jason and Judd are with
The Cowboys now. Up until a few years ago the father, Jim, was a scout for
the Cowboys. He was sort of crazy...but he understood the game and could
also present it to coaches quite well...and that is not so common. He
actually made sense....I've been to far too many "clinics" where something
that should have taken fifteen minutes was the subject of a two hour lecture
with the obligatory overhead...and the common trait of repeating everything
they say twice.

I completely agree with you. Both Judd and Jason are with Dallas, Judd
played some pro ball too. Jim spent the end of his career as a scout with
Dallas. That entire fiasco with Columbia spread through a lot of high
school programs too....boards of education and controlling parents used it
as a tool to make losing a pet project, like giving every single kid in the
race a trophy. Hard work at something became a bad concept, as did
competence at a skill. As a result, self esteem flew out the window. I
coached more than a few kids who knew they would almost never play, they
wanted to be part of something that won, worked hard and they became role
players and had a mission in practice. When it was possible they got to
play because of that. One of those kids went on to go to The Naval Academy.
Another went to Princeton on a full scholarship and they all stayed in touch
with me. I felt like they were just as much a part of the team as the
all-state starters. That is why they call it a team sport. I also coached
at a school briefly where after winning four games in one season and that
being the first time in over a decade the school ever won the whole staff
caught Hell for being too hard on the kids. We all resigned at once, went
to other schools and all became part of state championship teams. The idea
is to win the freakin game. BTW Harlan, I went to graduate school at
Columbia.

Throw in some PA kids...from "across the river"....some coal crackers...some
inner city kids....a few suburban kids who want to be tough...and you can
seriously kick ass. The key is you get them to become a team and support
each other's differences. protect each other. I vividly remember taking a
team that was about 70% white and 30% black to play an almost all black
school....I was elated when one of our starters, captain of the team and
TE...made a very loud statement, "Damn, Coach...they act like they ain't
never seen white people before." When our black players rallied instantly
around our white players...it was over. The reciprocal of that happened
several times...when we beat the crap out of a very wealthy upscale town, no
black player ever had to walk off the field without being with white players
so as to not allow the parents in this case to hurl their venom...and when
it happend it was the kids who spoke up for their teammates...we won a lot
like that. I do have to say, we were always treated well in a black
community, I can not say the same for going to the lilly white
suburbs...that was always brutal.

One area where I irritated a lot of liberals was right there...they seemed
to be caught up in that "playing the game" crap...never could buy into
playing to win...and for that they always told me I was not really one of
them....also could never believe my academic standing, I coached football
and wanted to win...how could I be intelligent and liberal? Weird world.

Gotcha, I thought he ended up at Princeton w/ his sons.
As for clinics, amen, best coach in my world was a teacher first prior
to hitting it big. He also can quickly & succinctly communicate ideas
to both players & other coaches. Most coaches think pedagogy is what
you put on your feet.

Gotcha, I thought he ended up at Princeton w/ his sons.
As for clinics, amen, best coach in my world was a teacher first prior
to hitting it big. He also can quickly & succinctly communicate ideas
to both players & other coaches. Most coaches think pedagogy is what
you put on your feet.
A lot of coaching clinics are like Amway meetings :-)

Read this earlier today. Seems like this guy Cole is working for Revis, to put pressure
on Jets management... hope they don't bite.

Jets in danger of losing Revis forever
By Jason Cole, Yahoo! Sports Sep 2, 9:22 pm EDT
At one point during the latest episode of HBO's "Hard Knocks," Jets coach Rex Ryan
explained to veteran wide receiver Laveranues Coles(notes) why the team had to cut him. It
was over salary reasons, but Ryan said the team hoped to bring back Coles in the second
week of the season when his contract won't be fully guaranteed.
Ultimately, Ryan told Coles that the team had to make the move "in case [cornerback
Darrelle Revis(notes)] shows up without a new contract."
Here's a little piece of information for Ryan and the rest of the New York Jets: If Revis
doesn't get a new contract soon, New York doesn't have to worry about the star cornerback
showing up. Ever.
As the clock ticks to the beginning of the NFL season, the relationship between the Jets
and Revis is ticking toward an end. A divorce, really. That might sound like hysteria to
some but it's reality.
You can hear the agitation in Ryan's voice when he talks about the overall state of his
team. During one moment in "Hard Knocks," Ryan chewed the Jets out for not playing with
urgency, a bad sign for any team, particularly for one that hasn't won a championship in
more than four decades.
Jets fans can pump their chest about allowing only one touchdown in the first three games
of preseason, but that means nothing. If the Jets are really going to run Ryan's
high-risk, blitz-heavy defense, they have to have Revis. As gifted as cornerback Antonio
Cromartie(notes) is, he's not tough enough to emulate Revis.
If the Jets can't bridge the gap between what they are offering Revis and what he believes
they promised him at the end of last season, he's not showing up, period.
As in ever again.
At the end of last season, when the Jets were going to the AFC championship game and New
York Mayor Michael Bloomberg was renaming Manhattan "Revis Island," the Jets were floating
on an attention high. When it all came crashing in the loss to Indianapolis, the Jets
couldn't live with the buzzkill. They openly talked about getting Revis, who has three
seasons left on his contract, signed to a lifetime deal. Ryan said Revis was the best
defensive player in the league. It was an open declaration of love, the kind of wooing you
see in Julia Roberts' movies.
And at that point, the Jets were committed. Owner Woody Johnson can say all he wants about
how that was then and this is now, but the fact is that his team made what Revis believed
to be a promise. That means a lot to a 25-year-old man who plays a game of furious emotion
and passion. This isn't an abstract business deal.
Revis believes the Jets have toyed with him by making their initial overtures so public.
If this had been done privately, Revis would have shown up for training camp even if a new
contract hadn't been agreed upon.
The problem is that love in the NFL is expressed in dollars and the Jets didn't think this
one through. In fact, when the idea of a long-term contract for Revis (10 years) was
broached with this reporter months ago, I took all of about 30 seconds to figure out that
the approximate number Revis would be looking for was roughly $160 million.
And I'm not exactly a contract negotiator.
What's strange is that the Jets should have anticipated that. The Jets knew agents Neil
Schwartz and Jonathan Feinsod well enough to understand that this wasn't going to be easy
if they didn't take a strong approach. It wasn't the first time considering Revis held out
as a rookie in 2007. It wasn't when Schwartz and Feinsod were representing former Jets
guard Pete Kendall(notes) and tight end Chris Baker.
Schwartz and Feinsod crafted a brilliant contract for Revis the first time, one so good
that no other team has ever done it since. Schwartz and Feinsod know leverage and they
have certain principles.
More important, Revis has principles, too. If you were Revis and had a pretty good idea
that your value isn't going down anytime soon (there's plenty of proof of that around the
NFL) and you no longer had faith in the Jets, would you ever play for them again? Is that
the kind of professional, working marriage you'd want to get into?
His uncle, Sean Gilbert, once sat out an entire year with Washington when he wanted
between $4 million and $5 million a year and the Redskins were offering $3.2 million.
After a year away, Gilbert got $7 million a year from Carolina.
Gilbert learned that great players get great money even if they miss an entire season.
This year alone, No. 1 overall pick Sam Bradford(notes) got $50 million guaranteed even
though he was coming off an injury-marred season in which he barely played. Likewise, wide
receiver Dez Bryant(notes) and tight end Jermaine Gresham(notes) were both first-round
picks this year despite barely playing last season in college.
There are plenty of other examples that feed this notion.
Revis isn't wrong to ask for a deal that eclipses Oakland cornerback Nnamdi
Asomugha's(notes) $15.17 million average. Beyond the fact that Denver cornerback Champ
Bailey(notes) isn't far behind this year with a base salary of $13 million, any 10-year or
long-term deal for that type of money means the deal will be eclipsed numerous times in
the coming years. It's the way the NFL works.
To put it in another perspective, Indianapolis quarterback Peyton Manning(notes) will soon
reset the bar for what the top players in the league are worth. The Colts will be lucky -
yes, lucky - to get Manning's deal done for less than an average of $25 million a year.
And if the top quarterback in the league is worth $25 million a year, what is the top
cornerback or defensive end, left tackle or wide receiver - all guys who drastically
impact the quarterback - are going to be worth?
There's going to come a point where $16 million a year for Revis is a decent price.
The Jets can counter that by saying that they're doing Revis a favor by redoing his
contract now, at least one year in advance of free agency. That's reasonable, but here's
another way of looking at it: If Revis plays out his contract over the next three years,
he gets $21 million. The Jets then would be forced to put a franchise tag (assuming the
franchise tag still exists) for a minimum of $18 million for 2013 (based on the fact that
Revis' 2012 salary is scheduled to be $15 million.
That's $39 million over four years, but then the averages start to really jump, going way
north of $20 million a year. From that perspective, $16 million a year looks like a good
price.
But more important than any of that is a simple fact: Either the Jets get this done or
they never have Revis again.

This last sentence says it all...and I hope says it like it is....they NEVER
see his ass again, he does not play for three years and when he gets to come
back for somebody else it is Oakland at their worst with Al Davis still
running things from a wheelchair....and THEN...I hope he finds out that a
three year layoff did some serious damage to his abilities....better yet, he
should go try MMA...and get his ass kicked. When ONE player decides he is
better than anyone else to the extent that to have HIM on the team, means
you have to let valuable pieces of the team go, settle for second best in
some other areas it just isn't a team sport anymore and won't be worth
watching. Who is the Cole dude...he has to be on Revis' payroll.

I've honestly never seen such a propaganda piece before, in sports.
He's gotta be getting a percentage, or Revis' agents gave him Revis' used jock, which he's
been fantasizing about.
That said, I hope he's right, and Management moseys on, & just ignores Revis.

From: "papa.carl44"
I'm sort of tired today, had a huge day yesterday and was actually on the go
from about 7 AM till about 2 AM this morning...non-stop. That ain't bad for
an old guy with spare parts, but it does mean that today was a "down" day,
resting when I needed to. I just finished watching some NFL channel
preseason games rerun.....it seems that this change of where the umpire
stands has created a new rule too. If the team snaps the ball before the
Umpire gets back into the new position it's a 5 yard penalty...that is
crazy, it sucks. It also means that a team can not do a lot of quick snap
type stuff. I'd seriously doubt some of Marino's quick snaps would work
now...this is dumb. The offense should be able to get out on the ball and
just go...not any more apparently.
