Can relate but I’m an eternal optimist. I believe in utopia. I just don’t believe in people.

Wow you are now a Pats fan
I think I’m gonna puke . No I know I’m gonna puke .
Geez I thought utopia was in MA.
as have I..........never say die
Yup...that is what i saw. I also saw a team that got a massacre handed to them earlier by BUFF, show a lot of recall and intelligence. In addition to the fight they brought to the game, you can tell this team is well coached in the meeting rooms. so much so, that even the "warm bodies with a pulse" were displaying discipline and intelligence and sticking to their jobs.
that is definitely something to take to the OTA's. we are going to see a new brand of smart football to go along with some of the heart we saw in Rex's teams and even Herm's teams.
IMO, that's the real excitement...this coaching staff is dogged to the system with a GM who doesn't sit still in trying to get better players for the system.
good point on Rex/Herm........teams full of heart and desire but too often short on being disciplined in their assignments. There were always those head scratching lapses on a Rex Ryan defense and absolutely no imagination from OC Hackett on Herm's staff. This regime has said they have a particular type of player they seek from the neck up.
while at the same time, not robots with no talent like many players Mangini brought in.
Saleh is a different type of "player's coach"...they have to have smarts and discipline, but they will have a $h!t ton of fun.
defenses agreed
Like buddy hackett they both left me in tears
that makes sense to me. since then, we have had trash that made the lives of our QB's a nightmare. At least, they had a semblance of an identity.
Hackett ran an executable offense, and with a stable of competent players, the offense looked good much of the time, and great sometimes.
Unfortunately, in a simplistic offense, D's catch up/on quickly. If your big play guy is 5'8', like Moss and Coles, it's going to be tough sledding once they do. as much as you loved them, you had to play with a lead for them to be effective.
Vince Lombardi’s offense was simple also . You still had to stop it . The trouble with the NFL today is all these kids play sports and hardly ever go to class . In college the athletic ability allows you to excel but in the pros with all this sophistication and verbiage half these kids can’t figure out X,Y OR Z .
People think Belichek is a genius but all he does is give his players an assignment and make them learn it forward and backwards. Then he gives them that now famous line . “Do your job “ .
Simple, not complicated at all . We have Mims who can get open at will because of his athleticism but instead of using that, we confuse the heck out of him by telling him to learn 5 different things . I bet that kid has never done this much studying in his life .
Sometimes people are so smart they’re stupid.

Yes and no . Three things went wrong with the Herman Edwards led Jets .
Chad Pennington couldn’t stay healthy to save his life and we never got a viable backup.
We allowed Coles to leave in a contract squabble messing up Pennington’s mojo .
Whoever the GM was at the time was a joke and never got Coach any players to fit his schemes but kept letting key players leave . When Jason Ferguson left our defense went with him .
great post! especially the blurb on Mims.
Boy ain't this the truth
There’s more than one way to skin a cat so I am willing to go along with the idea of slow walking Mims until he gets it . Trouble is in this market not too many exist like me . Too many play Madden and want all pros at every position. I just want kids who can do specific things well .
