Bowles: 'I'm Extremely Upset'

I commented before the season that our performance will rely solely on the overall health of this team. In a healthy year with this easy schedule we would have 11 or 12 wins. Without health 8-8.

Marshall is hurt, he's slower and less explosive which makes him manageable for defenders, same with ivory. Plus they are stacking the box. With Mangold out, we have to play a perfect game to win.
Defenses are stacking the box and with colon and Mangold gone, they are easily penitrating, and with average wr play, Fitz can't dump off.

On defense injuries are killing us too. We don't have enough Talent to replace injured players.
Without Pryor we were horrid. Revis is out of place, he needs to cover the number 2wr and let the number 1 get double teamed by others, hell bb won a super bowl because he figured that out.

Sheldon is in, he's out, we can't rely on a rookie too heavily.

Cro has a bum hip and hammy. Our front 4 can't get decent pressure and qbs are getting 4 seconds to throw wrs open.

I think this team plus another good draft year, and the return of our ir guys will be competitive for real next year. You can't screw up the draft for 6 years and fix it in one season.

Fitz is a great guy to keep around until we discover our next qb, or we are lucky enough for someone to out play him.

Its funny sack I heard that from the AZ HC and players... its only some Jet fans that think he is emotionless. I rather have an adult coaching the team then some blowhard who only gets his team to play hard maybe four games a year....

The problem is, fans want to see the guy who screams all the time, or the guy who is jolly and jovial.

Having played from the time I was five through four years of DIII college, and having coached at the youth, HS, and upper level prep school levels, the best coaches are the ones who are willing to scream to express their displeasure, but use it sparingly. Keeping a calm demeanor is essential. When those guys did tear into their teams, it had 1000 times the impact that the guy who screamed every day had.

We will see the impact of Bowles this weekend. I think he will grow into a good coach. And this week is part of that growth process.

tHANK YOU, exactly!! Screaming at your Players publicly & embarrassing them isnt going to make them play hard & in fact might cause the Players to go the other way. Just like a Boss screaming at guys & soon as he walks away...they all slow down. There is a time and a place for it. If Bowles feels that this is going on as once a former Player & now HC he will know how to deal with that disrespectful Player privately.

What I saw was pretty positive on all fronts. Whatever Coach Bowles said or did privately with his players seemed to work pretty well

Meanwhile the master of the loud braggadocio with the media got his ass kicked again dropping his "bullies" to 5-6 coming off a 9 win season last year under Doug Marrone whereas Coach Bowles approach of addressing his players directly not his buddies in the press has already improved his team by.2 games in the win column with five still remaining to.be played

sounds just like being a good parent or any other position of responsibility..

i appreciate coach bowles' "still waters run deep" approach because if nothing else it's sincere..

no exact formula for getting your message across as a coach & like you, i had many (baseball/basketball/football) all the way to junior college basketball..

so long as the message isn't falling on deaf ears, the job is getting done.. JMO, anyway..

I think this is an important point you make here. It does not appear to be falling on deaf ears.

And honestly, a strict disciplinarian will burn out his team in a couple years. If players know they are going to get yelled at every day, eventually they tune it out.

On the other side, being too lax can be good short term, as well, but eventually players begin taking advantage (Rex). If they know they are not ever going to get called out, and their HC always has their back, they're going to become complacent.

Bowles' approach has the best likelihood of long-term sustainability.

& ironically, bowles is a disciple of both gibbs & parcells..

happy medium??
