I think Rex's problem is that he doesn't get involved enough with the offense. They were down 10-7 at the half against the Giants in a half where they were moving the ball on the ground. Rex needed to mandate that they stay with the ground and pound. It just seem like he doesn't focus or use his input on the offensive side of the ball at all. I thought I heard him say this morning that he didn't even realize why Santonio was on he bench.
I still believe that Sanchez can be an effective QB in the league. Between his comeback performances (last year) and his playoff success, there's just too much good there to dismiss. I'm not saying that he wasn't bad (downright awful) at times, but it doesn't rest solely on his shoulders. The offensive line was horrendous and the kid was running for his life many times back there. Also the drops, balls taken of helmets and tips for interceptions didn't help his case either.
It's funny, cause around the NY area there have been a few articles planting the seeds about them getting Peyton Manning. Really, what do these people think he would be able to do behind that line?
The off season is going to be interesting because I'm thinking there could be a major overhaul on the offensive side of the ball. They need to upgrade the line. Not sure what's going to happen at the reciever position. I guess I could see Braylon Edwards coming back to replace Plax who will probably bolt. But how is Ryan and the organization going to handle the Holmes situation? Was his bad season just a by-product of a bad offense or is it a case of him getting his payday? I would give him the benifit of the doubt, but I'm thinking his actions yesterday might have left a bad taste in the mouth of many of his teamates.
Then there is the defense. If Leonard comes back, their in pretty decent shape. I do think it's time to end the Bart Scott era, maybe I'm wrong but he seemed invisible out there many times this season. So if they can acquire a MLB and maybe draft/sign a pass rusher they should be in pretty decent shape. Obviously at times they struggled, but also due to the ineptness of the offense they were forced in to being on the field for long periods of time (not to mention trying to defend very bad field position).
They definitey looks like their plate is full for this offseason.
