NFL (since 2016)
"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

I know what you mean: I like JB's podcast. He has been a coach, even if it was junior college, so he has some proper insight. Going back a while now, but he and a guest once did an analysis of how to defend a big WR once, aimed at CBs and safeties. It was funny, as well as informative. "Put your elbow in his spine. Can I say that? Maybe I can't say that! But do it anyways. Just don't tell them I said it."
he even got Bobby Wagner on during this week, but it's his chats with former legends (often other sports too) that are the most interesting (these are great

Re: NFL (since 2016)
Haha!
Interesting, cheers TM.
I have to say, much as I think JB is making a half-decent point, his coaching "top trumps" falls flat when you remember he was just a junior college coach. Glenn, for all of his flaws, had been coaching in the NFL, for a successful (play-off) team, for some time before taking the Jets job. That's probably a light drill he used in Detroit, even if it looks a bit comical.
All he's doing there, during a light session (probably two days after playing) is reminding the players to keep a tight grip on the football at all times. We've been fumbling and turning over the ball a lot recently. And Glenn is fed up with it. So it's just his novelty way of reminding them that once you walk out on the field (even the training ground) you grip the ball tightly at all times.
His bigger challenge now is getting the fucking idiot players to understand the rules better - we're giving away SO many penalties and it has cost us two games this season already. And then sorting out a defense that has some good players on it, but can't play and tackle as a unit. That's a hangover from Saleh's final season.
I think things will get worse before they get better, though. Away in Dallas this weekend. If we go 0-5, Glenn will be the first Jets coach ever to do that. It would be even worse than Gase!

Re: NFL (since 2016)
South. We both know the only thing that matters in New York is not too finish with a worse record than the “Other” team.! So it’s race to the bottom. With our schedule and Nabers out. A five win season is looking like a minor miracle. Like Sullivan. Mara needs to up and leave. His grandfather would be spinning in his grave.!
GO G MEN.

Re: NFL (since 2016)
Five wins now looks ambitious for the Jets this season. More like 2-4 wins. Which means there's a good chance we'll be a top10 pick in the draft again. And we can't waste that. We have to take a QB next April - but we need to make sure it's not yet another bust like Zach Wilson, or an underperformer like Mark Sanchez.
So, the green and whites need to send every good scout to review college QBs and nail the right leader with the right skill set and mentality. Even if it's a Matt Ryan type who isn't a headline grabber, but a passer who will hold down the starting job for 5+ years.
Fields is the epitome of Mr Inconsistent. I like him, as a filler QB for a season or two. But his passing game is often poor. He takes forever to go through his check-downs when his primary receiver (Wilson) is double-teamed, which is most of the time. He gets out of trouble with his legs, but he's a turnover risk. And you can't run an offense like that.

Ain’t no mind boggling about it Scorch. It’s down too tight arse owners. Who are happy to get the cheapest turf going. And couldn’t give a toss about their playing staff. (Sounds like something our beloved leader wouldn’t think of.?) It’s all about the money.!

Re: NFL (since 2016)
Just watched Glenn's post-game press conference, and he looks and sounds like he's been hit by a truck. The chutzpa has gone already, and I think he now realises how hard this is going to be.
That was always going to happen at some point. Any new HC has an inflated sense of what they will achieve from day one. That's normal in the NFL. Being a HC is SO much harder than anybody imagines until they do the job. So you see a classic phase of overconfidence before a chastising period. It happens to everybody - including Belichick etc.
What matters now is how he picks himself up from this and responds. I like the guy and I want him to do well. But, like every other HC before him (in the NFL) he now realises how tough - and unforgiving - this league is when you are the most senior coach. He was the #3 at Detroit (after Campbell and Johnson).
Now, if you have the bollocks, you respond by going up a level and really showing what you're all about.

Re: NFL (since 2016)
Four games into a new season under a new regime, and it's not looking good for the 0-4 Jets.
All the early promise of a new era under Glenn has dissipated and he looks stressed and under pressure already. I preface everything I'm gonna say with the observation that the Jets have to stick with a HC and coaching staff and give them a couple of years now. I like Glenn.
But, after a very promising first game against the Steelers, he is making the same mistakes that previous new HCs made. And these are mistakes that are all about basic coaching, discipline, formations, line-ups etc - all the things that are absolutely controllable for a HC.
The biggest example is penalties. Yet again, we gave away 100+ yards with 13 penalties last night. When you do that, you are giving away at least 7 points per game - most likely between 10-14 points. Because that's the distance you'd give up for a TD and field goal. And we do it every single match. Have done for years. It was a massive problem under Saleh and Glenn vowed to eliminate it. But it's getting worse.
Glenn needs to start dropping some poorly disciplined players. Even if, on paper, they are our "top" players. They're no use to a team that is giving up so many penalties that it is undoubtedly costing us wins.

Tyreek Hill. 
I've had exactly the same kind of injury. The most pain I've ever been in.

Re: NFL (since 2016)
Williams was the first black quarterback to both start and win a Super Bowl, doing so with Washington in Super Bowl XXII when they were known as the Redskins. He was named Super Bowl MVP after throwing four touchdowns in a single quarter.
