It is time for a change

October 23, 2007 By: Craig Category: Chad Pennington, Die Hard Jets Fan, Eric Mangini, New York Jets

Yesterday I started to write, but we had a black out in Nassau County. As I had started to say yesterday was it is pitiful to watch a team that thought it was going to the play-offs this year. Eric Mangini comes out with Chad Pennington throwing the ball. Thomas Jones was having a good day carrying the football. Mr. Mangini decides it is time to protect the lead. At half time Gang Green was winning 23-10. Jets defense also played well for the first thirty minutes of their game. In the last half of the game, Gang Green fell apart both on defense and on offense. It is time for changes at quarterback and coaching positions. Mangini shows absolutely NO EMOTION during the game. The man does not know how to coach as a leader.

recap of last weeks mistakes by Mangini

October 20, 2007 By: Craig Category: Chris Baker, Die Hard Jets Fan, Eric Mangini, NFL, New York Jets

This week I have read many articles about the Jets offense and defense, only to find out that nobody wants to point any fingers at anybody. I think the best-case scenario was that Chris Baker took a stand and spoke the truth. Mangini’s play calling on fourth and one with 3 minutes to go. You need 8to9inches for a first down, and what does he call a pass route. Eric’s answer was that we practiced that all week. What kind of offensive coordinator do the Jets have? Last week Gang Greens defense kept them in the game. Mangini needs to do something to ignite them. My biggest problem is Mr. Mangini does not show any emotion toward his players which in turn reflects their play on the field. Today’s article in Newsday speaks about how many tickets the players need. BIG DEAL lets finish the season with big expectations with an 11and5 record.

Jets game plan to contain McNabb

October 14, 2007 By: Craig Category: Chad Pennington, Die Hard Jets Fan, Eric Mangini, Jonathan Vilma, NFL, New York Jets, Thomas Jones

This week, the Jets practice was not their usual type. Eric Mangini was convinced that being physical will be his way of winning games. Today the Jets go against Philadelphia and Donovan McNabb. If the Jets can get to McNabb, they have a chance of staying close. Jonathan Vilma and company must put pressure on McNabb. Gang Green has only three sacks in 5 games this year. When the Eagles played the Giants 2 weeks ago Mr. Mc Nabb was injured and without Westbrook and Thomas who help block for Donovan. Today is when the Jets take the field in their old jerseys hoping to win. Chad Pennington must be mobile and not wait to decide whom to throw too. Thomas Jones must pound the ball this afternoon. Jets special teams cannot carry this team. In short, Gang Green must play like champions this afternoon in order to win.

physical practices for the Jets

October 12, 2007 By: Craig Category: Die Hard Jets Fan, Eric Mangini, Erik Coleman

This weeks practice was all about being physical for the team. Physical practices are good, but when your team is not used to it people tend to get hurt. Eric Manginis new beginning LETS GET PHYSICAL. This type of practice should of being done in preseason not five weeks into the season. Maybe that’s what the Jets need a kick in the rear. On another note Erik Coleman remains on inactive do

Five reasons to help fix the Jets

October 11, 2007 By: Craig Category: Chad Pennington, Eric Mangini, Kellen Clemens, Leon Washington, NFL

After reading today’s article in Newsday, It tells me that what I was saying all along. Five reasons why where losing. 1) time to run Thomas Jones, Jones needs to carry the ball a minimum of 25 times to perform, 2)defense needs to wake up and Blitz, 3)I have also said to get physical and emotional, 4)Leon Washington needs to be in more plays on offense. 5) My biggest concern is when Mangini is going to pull Chad Pennington. It is time for Clemens to take control of the offense.

The colapse of New York

October 11, 2007 By: Craig Category: Chad Pennington, Die Hard Jets Fan, Eric Mangini, Kellen Clemens, New York Jets

The colapse of the New York Jets is disgusting. New York is ranked 28th in defense and 29th in offense, with all the professional players they have, Gang Green should not be 1-4. Eric Mangini thinks that everything will work out. If Mangini cannot get his coaches and players on the same page, there is no way that the Jets will make 8-8 yet make the play-offs. According to Mangini they need consistency to win games. It goes to say Mr. Mangini will not take any blame for their preformance on the field. According to Mangini, Chad Pennington will start on Sunday. After Chad costing his team two games with five interceptions in the 4th quarter. What will it take for the management to start Kellen Clemens.

Thomas Jones needs to be more involved

October 10, 2007 By: Craig Category: Chad Pennington, Die Hard Jets Fan, Eric Mangini, Leon Washington, New York Jets, Thomas Jones

Thomas Jones is not getting the ball enough to do damage. Jones who ran for over 1300 yards in the previous two seasons. In the Jets first five games, Jones has run 88 times for 290 yards. If New York wants to win any games soon, they should start giving the ball to Thomas Jones. Thomas usually has 25-28 carries a game not so with Mangini an company. Thomas was signed for $20 million in the off-season to help the Jets running attack. It is time for Jones to be involved on every offensive play. Chad Pennington also does not allow Jones to play. Mangini continues to go with Leon Washington on second and third downs. The Jets cannot afford to lose another game. Newsday

Chad Pennington must go after 5 interceptions

October 08, 2007 By: Craig Category: Andre Dyson, Chad Pennington, Die Hard Jets Fan, Eric Mangini, Kellen Clemens, New York Jets

Yesterdays defeat by the New York Giants was crushing to us. In the first half, everything went Gang Greens way. Rhodes forces a fumble and carries it in for 6 points. The Jets seen to have there way with the Giants. Keeping Big Blues defense away from Chad Pennington to which he was able to see his receivers, and complete passes. Thomas Jones who had a big 36 yards on 13 carries does not help the offense. Jones was supposed to be a game breaker runner has not lived up to any expectations for the fans. It is time to replace Chad Pennington with Kellen Clemens as starter. Chad cost the Jets their last two games with 4TH quarter interceptions, which resulted in touchdowns for Buffalo and New York. I as a fan cannot stand an watch Mangini keep saying that Chad Pennington is the starter for Gang Green. Yesterdays loss was partly do to lack of tackling. Andre Dyson missed a tackle on Plexico Burress who stood there and waited for Plexico to step out of bounds, in, which he did not, Andre was to tackle him. The Jets defense made a few mistakes, but the ones they did were costly. Kerry Rhodes who had an outstanding day after starting the season so poorly. If the Jets played, their FIRST thirty minutes in the second half Gang Green would have beaten Big Blue badly. That did not happen so my Jets have to fight back and win their next three games to start.

Erik Coleman most likely not to play Sunday

October 06, 2007 By: Craig Category: Chad Pennington, Die Hard Jets Fan, Eric Mangini, Eric Smith, Erik Coleman, Kellen Clemens, NFL, New York Jets

Erik Coleman will most likely not start Sunday against the Giants. Erik suffered a concussion in Buffalo last week. Coleman will be replaced by Eric Smith. Chad Pennington had limited practices this week. Kellen Clemens took more time with the first string this week. According to must articles Mangini is being quiet about Chads ankle and if he is going to start Sunday.

Eric Mangini does not show any emotion

October 04, 2007 By: Craig Category: Die Hard Jets Fan, Eric Mangini, NFL, New York Jets, Thomas Jones

Eric Mangini is not the type of coach that shows emotion. The Jets are 1-3 an Mangini does not think it is time to worry. None of the Jets has any intensity on or off the field. This is necessary win for a morality booster. Eric has his players thinking that it is all right to be relaxing, and work together as a unit. I myself and other Jet fans think it is time to kick some ass. Big Blue played extremely well against the Eagle last week and had 12 sacks. This week will belong to Gang Green as long as the offensive line pushes back so Thomas Jones can run.
