- Tebow will allow the Jets to diversify their offense greatly. Tony Sparano, the inventor of the "wildcat" offense, finally has the ultimate wildcat weapon. Tebow can run and pass [well, not short passes but his deep throws are top notch for all of you haters]. This will force defenses to have to spend additional time preparing for the Jets packages, and give them a tactical advantage every week.
- It is time for Mark Sanchez to grow up. He needs to understand the Jerry Glanville definition of the N.F.L [not for long]. Yes, he led a run first team to consecutive championship games. Well done. However, last year when he became the focal point of the offense, the team played poorly. He has been coddled for his professional career to this point. Make no mistake, he is physically tough, but mentally he is weak. You can see his body language during the games. He gets down on himself. I have never seen Tim Tebow do this. Maybe he can teach this to Sanchez.
- Put this two things together- the Jets lack an elite QB. Many teams suffer from the same predicament. A Manning brother is not walking through that door, nor Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, or even Matt Schaub. Why play to convention? Go with the hot hand. Change things up during a game. Drive opponents crazy, when they don't know what to expect from you each weak, other then a punishing running game. Innovate football once again. Elite quarterbacks develop quickly, not over years. I preface this statement with the fact that playing means game action. Few and far between are the examples of guys who play poorly, or even average, then light the world on fire. I don't think Sanchez will be that guy. He can be solid. So can Tebow. Together, they can equal an elite quarterback as defenses need to find a way to adjust to them during a game. It hasn't worked before. But then again, closers and set up guys in baseball didn't exist 30 years ago. Innovation is doubted, but the Jets are as well. It is a natural marriage.
- The Jets will ground and pound again. This means Shonn Green must not suck. It means Joe McKnight should challenge him in camp. It also means that I will be watching the draft in a few weeks hoping against all hope that Trent Richardson falls to the Jets. The o-line will do what they do best, and punish opposing defenses with a physical attack.
- This new offense will also help the defense. Last year they were on the field too much and got exposed. This will not be a problem this year. The time of possession will shift back to the Jets favor as well.
- Another important aspect of this is what the other teams in the division have done this off season. The Patriots added Brandon Lloyd to make their offense even more dangerous- the best way to keep them off the scoreboard- keep them off the field. The Bills signed Mario Williams, a ferocious pass rusher. You can't rush the passer when the team runs the ball. This move immediately mitigates the biggest signing Buffalo has had since Jim Kelley. And the Dolphins signed David Garrard. Moving on.
P.S. For all you haters out there, you still owe me a day during which you dress up like Rex Ryan.
