Sanchez and the Jets are an object lesson in how to ruin an NFL franchise. Before Sanchez, the Jets ran the ball and played defense. They ran and ran and ran and played defense. And they won, a lot. Then they got Sanchez and decided they would win games by throwing the ball more. It hasn’t worked. They run less, they throw more, they lose more. They give up a lot more points on defense b/c their defense is on the field a lot more. Their coach is a rough and tumble guy who did fine with the ground and pound offense. Also, when everyone else was throwing it all over the place they were different, they had some real matchup problems. But now they’re trying to be something that they aren’t, and the result is what we are seeing this year. The Jets don’t need to fire Sanchez and Ryan for being bad, they need to fire Ryan for trying to be something he’s not.
