Quick Jets thoughts following Sunday's game

Short post since I'm short on time today.

1. Tannenbaum has to go.  Over the offseason I said he didn't do enough to fix the team and this is proof.

2. Why is Tebow on this team?  He's shown he can't throw a football.  We know that if he's in the game at QB he's either running or handing it off.  He has thrown the ball once so far this season. It was a jump pass that wasn't that great to a backup TE who ended up fumbling the ball.

3. Sanchez also can't be the QB going forward.  He hasn't grown much since his rookie year and now he has practically no talent around him.  He makes poor decisions and handles pressure poorly.

4. Where are the WRs? Holmes is done for the season.  Hill can't catch.  That leaves Kerley and Schilens.  I don't care that it's do to injuries, but you can't have those guys as your two receivers.  Don't sign TO or Chad Nochocinco.  Bring in some guys who never had a shot.  One player that comes to mind to at least have a spot on the practice squad is Chris "7-11" Hogan.  He's a local boy who got national media attention on Hard Knocks.  Yes I know the Dolphins cut him because they felt their WRs are better then him, but when your depth chart is this bad, why not at least give the guy a shot on the practice squad?  Good PR at the very least and could help the team.

5. Give Powell more carries. He's not a star or even an above average RB, but Greene clearly isn't a guy who should be given as many carries as he gets.  Greene has no big play potential and has struggled with getting small gains.

6. Rex Ryan is fine as the coach.  I blame Tannenbaum for not bringing in talented players, or even above average players.  Of course Rex is going to say he has a good team most of the time.  He doesn't want his team to think that they're one of the worst 2-2 teams ever even though he knows it.

I'll probably have another Jetcentric post next Tuesday if they are as bad against Houston as I think they'll be.  I'll give you one clue what it'll be about.  Rebuilding.
