I am a Tom Brady fan. Let's get that much out of the way. I believe he is the best quarterback in the NFL today and arguably one of the best of all time. However, that is being challenged by the smartest FOOTBALL PLAYER in NFL history. Sunday in Indianapolis, Peyton Manning and co. will attempt to punch their ticket to the big game in Miami. Let's all face facts...qb's are judged on postseason success and with another victory in the Super Bowl Peyton Manning may cement himself as the best quarterback ever. I grew up LOVING Joe Montana. I grew up in a home where Favre, Marino, Aikman, Moon were all watched. But none of these guys had the regular season success that Peyton Manning has enjoyed throughout his NFL career. Another Super Bowl and the case for these other guys gets real hard to argue (and I love to argue). So I say...
PLEASE REX PLEASE!!!
Rex Ryan is the one man who controls this whole situation. As much as we want to say this is about Manning and the wideouts against the Defense, IT'S NOT! As much as we want to say this game is about the Colts run d against Jones and Greene, IT'S NOT! This game is not even about Manning and his quest for another ring. THIS GAME IS ALL ABOUT REX RYAN AND BRIAN SCHOTTENHEIMER!!! I am begging you come out aggressive. Allow your quarterback to take some chances early on in the game against that aggressive defense, who is keyed in on the run & is very confident after their dominating game against the Ravens. If the Jets will have any chance at winning this game on Sunday, they must be aggressive early on throwing the ball. I would go play - action deep on the 1st snap from scrimmage. Maybe you complete it (you talk about a momentum swing early). Maybe you don't complete it, but the db's will have no choice but acknowledge that for the rest of the game. The best chance the Jets have is to think outside of the box early. YES, this game will have to be won for the Jets by using their strength & that is Jones, Greene, and that defense. However, we all know that Sanchez will be required to make 4 to 6 throws that will greatly impact the game, the beginning of the game is as good a time as any.
So please Rex for your team, their fans, and most importantly...FOR TOM BRADY, Please be aggressive on BOTH sides of the ball this Sunday.
Until next time, this is just a thought.
BTW Rex...I hear the food is great in Miami.
They brought their defense, but it was no match for Peyton and the Colts!
