Report: Jets interested in Rick Dennison as run-game coordinator

[gmf1369]

The Jets are interested in former Bills offensive coordinator Rick Dennison as their run-game coordinator, Manish Mehta of the Daily News reports.

Dennison worked with new Jets offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates in Denver.

Dennison joined the Bills after the team hired Sean McDermott as head coach last year, and he oversaw a unit that finished 29th in total yards and 22nd in points last season.

Mehta also reports the Jets have had discussions with former Titans coach Steve Jackson to become their assistant defensive backs coach.

The Jets announced they have fired offensive line coach Steve Marshall.

Considering how bleak the Jets QB situation is (at this point), building the running game is a wise decision. However, in order for that to happen, the OL MUST be fixed this off season. The OL needs in my estimation at least a Center and a Tackle. I would like to wait and see how well Brian Winters does with better talent on either side of him? Brandon Shell is an OK player right now and I'd be pleased to see what he can develop into.......

Neither am I sold on Winters. I just would like to give him a shot with at least DECENT talent on either side of him.......

On the subject of Dennison coming in, I'm not for it. He didn't do well with the Broncos and he wasn't impressive with the Bills last season. In fact I'd almost bet the Bills fans would take up a collection to pay his salary if we would take him.The only saving grace is that he would be working for Bates not the other way around as it was when they worked together before. Let's hope they at least keep Stump if they do bring him aboard.

Pretty good hire IMO. His O lines have been good, and particularly his running game has usually Finished top 10 or higher. Have to give him some more talent though. Center is a must this off season.
