I love Mike Pettine
Last edited by The King; 01-10-2013, 03:57 PM.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Re: I love Mike Pettine
The Jets are such a mess nothing would surprise me, but with him being so close to Rex and with an expiring contract I don't see how it would benefit him to do that.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside.

There's also another piece with our new HC's comments about the hire.
The last part of which I thought was very promising.
What intrigued you about Mike as a DC?
“His defenses are known for their relentless attacking style. They can be very difficult for offenses and create all kinds of mismatches. When I accepted the job, that’s exactly how I envisioned our defense and so Mike was the coach I felt was best suited to lead our defense.”
Our HC seems like a man with a plan.
The other part of the Pettine interview that particularly struck home, was when he talked about the need to disguise what you are doing, as otherwise, if todays QBs see what you are in , they will pick you apart. That sounded like the recipe for how we were handled by most QBs last year. Not so much a talent issue, but one of insufficient disguise for what we were doing.

Re: I love Mike Pettine
can you blame him if he was the leak. he's putting together decent defenses that can win games, and he has an offense that has WR who hate the QB.
better to keep the focus on the problem area than have your area picked apart.
their defense still held up with the number of injuries this year until they just crumbled after the pats loss. but to me that spoke of a team that didn't care. a ton of those points went up because of sanchez.
oh well, i hope this all works for the best.

Re: I love Mike Pettine
I hope he turns the Bills defense into the aggressive type like the Jets. i'm tired of them giving up over 400 points a year.Originally posted by yordadChrist, you are the queerest person in the history of Bills fanhood. I swear to god I would stomp you.

Re: I love Mike Pettine
The Jets organization has a history of "leaking" information about anyone who doesn't drink the cool-aid.
There have been "leaked" stories about Tebow, Greg McElroy, Brian Schottenheimer, etc etc etc.
It's a pattern they have of bashing up a guy once he leaves or once he says anything that the front office and owner see as anti-Jet.
