Hey another jet fan here. Was also checking how Ratliff was doing but didn't seem to find anything but I guess that is understandable considering he is behind on the depth chart with DA and Quinn competing. Like John said a lot jet fans were pulling for him, and a lot of homers but what else is new. I guess it was just refreshing seeing a big "prototypical" QB with an arm after seeing Pennington all those years. But anyway..
You guys like Mangini so far as a HC? The one thing I didn't like about him was that to me , he seemed so stubborn with some of the decisions he made. Like he wanted to keep doing something until it worked, when everyone else knew it clearly wasn't going to work and it just kept costing the team. Also hated the way he punished the players or put them in the doghouse so often. I understand you shouldn't be making mistakes, but to bench a guy or take him off the field could sometimes hurt their confidence and just set a bad example after that. For example our TE Dustin Keller one game had a couple of a drops one game, then the next game he had Bubba effin Franks starting ahead of him because of it. There is no point of that to me. To me you should be able to go out make mistakes, especially as a rookie, but then go back out and learn from them. Thats how you get better. Not by being punished.
The guy seems like a genius with x's and o's in the film room and breaking it down but never seemed to translate on the field come game time.
And obviously from a fan standpoint, his secrecy and being all confidential was aggrivating lol but that doesn't really matter at he end.
I still feel like he will learn from all his mistakes and also things that worked in NY and build on it and become a good HC for you guys. Good luck on the season!
