Jets have Hard Knocks offense

I have not had the pleasure of watching all of the Hard Knocks episodes with the Jets as their 2010 star. I have watched their offense in the preseason though, and the show was much more entertaining. I now give head coach Rex Ryan a break for the swearing. I am not sure Gandhi could have contained himself while watching one stalled drive after another. The New York Jets are a team with super bowl expectations, not aspirations and Rex Ryan is a smart man. He knew when he wrote "soon to be champs" on that espn bus that he had to get his all world cornerback Darrelle Revis into camp. He knows his only shot is to somehow resurrect the 2000 Ravens and will their way to a title on defense. Rex Ryan also knows that his offense, and turnover prone quarterback Mark Sanchez specifically, is not equipped to carry the team through January if need be. Ryan's defense finished number one in the league last year and the Jets only snuck in the playoffs by the graciousness of Indianapolis and Cincinnati. Two teams who rested their starters, knowing full well they might face the same team again when it really mattered. The Jets have a tough schedule and some potent offenses on the horizon. Even with Revis the Jets will need to put up some points. So do what you have to do Rex. Scream, swear, film. Just get that offense on track before the championship bus leaves without you.
