Let's talk about the onsides kick today

I thought the play was very gutsy. But if you listen to the way danny smith worked on it and schemed it all week. I really don't see it as gutsy, but great coaching and execution. Good on our guys for doing thier jobs. HAIL!!

That's pretty awesome that Smith reviewed every Jets kickoff this season and uncovered the tendency of a single Jet to cheat back on kickoffs. Chalk this call up to outstanding coaching, and credit the players for outstanding execution.

The conservative play calling thing was just fine against the Jets--they have proven all year they cannot stop the run--but the big thing is RED ZONE offense. Just one TD on those FGs and we're home without OT, most likely. Got to get that straight. We moved the ball up and down the field, but couldn't score but one TD. That's why this game went to overtime, even with the first-play kickoff return.

I agree. Most people are complaining about a conservative game plan but we were moving the ball just fine it was in the red zone we could not get the TD's.

At that point in the game we were down 17-6 with about 5 minutes to go in the first half. If we don't recover the Jets are in prime field position and could have put the game away with a TD. Instead it only leads to 3 points, but in the grand scheme of the game it was a big play and a gutsy call. For all the criticism the team takes for not being aggressive enough, let's at least give some props for this one.

i agree. a lot of onsides in the past few wks across the nfl and college. VT tried and succeeded in getting one after a FG. i believe NO got one too.

great call by Gibbs, I wish he would take more chances on offense with JC. It would give life to this predictable offense. It would fire this team up if we started taking chances and getting these playmakers involved.
