Though it’s his second year as a HC, Saleh is basically a rookie. Last year, no one had any high expectations, so there was no pressure. The Jets this year started doing the unexpected, winning. Now Saleh has the pressure on him. He has shown some nicks in his armor.

Problem one is LeFleur, was he hired because he had a great offensive mind or because his brother is Saleh’s best friend or a combination of both.

LeFleur has also been ripped as of late because of his play calling.

Ironically just like Zach, he was hidden by the fact that Breece Hall was an exceptional talent. Hall goes down, both Zach and Lefleur get exposed.

It doesn’t help that the Jets offensive line has been hammered by key injuries all season, but LeFleur’s job is to find ways to adapt to bad situations.

Lately, it’s been disastrous, is it all Zach or is LeFleur part of the problem. This team rarely runs a running back screen. If I see another Berrios in motion screen that the league has figured out, I’ll scream. Where is the 3 step drop and pass to offset 8 in the box, is it being called or is it that Zach can’t process it. The Jets definitely need a veteran offensive coach to assist LeFleur or to replace him. If Saleh doesn’t agree than Douglas better act because Woody for all his faults reads and reacts to everything out there. He might want a change which wouldn’t bode well for either Douglas or Saleh.

As far as Saleh goes, why does every HC who the Jets hire who was a DC lack the most rudimentary knowledge of clock management. Saleh hired a clock coach, where was he at the end of the Lion game, in the mens room.

Saleh’s comments concerning Wilson Lately are very confusing. One example, after Thursday night’s fiasco, “ I see progress in Zach”, enough said.

Hey coach your job is to win games, it’s not to hold a players hand during rough times especially when the player isn’t performing. Where’s the progress.

As far as Zach’s concerned, I wouldn’t let him be active for the rest of the year. If White can’t play in Seattle than it’s Flacco and Strevler time. Saleh says Zach has confidence issues, why make them worse by putting him into a must win situation. His body language resonates defeat. It almost looked like the whole team took Zach’s persona thursday.

The season started with high hopes and improvement from Zach and lower expectations for the rest of the team and the opposite happened.

I strongly believe the Jets need a gray beard in the Offensive room. The had Gregg Knapp (RIP) then replaced GN with Matt Cavanaugh. MC retired song the Senior Offensive Coach position is vacant...

HIRE FRANK REICH NOW!!! Pl ease, before someone else does. He’s brilliant, experienced, from NY, played for the Jets, and he’s exactly what we need to mentor Zach. Calabrese & MLF are not getting the best out of Zach.

Happy Holiday to you all.

Go Jets
