I have to wonder how much the QB's abilities played into this^!?!It's as if the script for the first series or 2 gets Austin involved...a couple nice plays and actually, overall the playcalling at the beginning mixes things up and seems creative...then it get's predictable and they stop going to Austin.
I just don't get it.
I don't think that is a factor there. Giving Austin end-arounds and screen passes should fit into Austin Davis' skill set fine.I have to wonder how much the QB's abilities played into this^!?!

I think it's pretty obvious why he doesn't get used past the first half
Schotty scripts a good plan, but is totally inept when it comes to making adjustments after half time. Tavon gets lost on those adjustments. Granted Davis is missing a lot of throws though
I typically think people are harsher on Schottenheimer than is really fair, particularly having him front and center on losses then forgetting him on wins.
But the misuse/lack of use of Tavon is totally on him.
Shottenheimer is setting up the surprise play. Trust me, you wont see it comingIt's as if the script for the first series or 2 gets Austin involved...a couple nice plays and actually, overall the playcalling at the beginning mixes things up and seems creative...then it get's predictable and they stop going to Austin.

I'd like to see that but I don't think they trust Tavon with the routes that Amendola ran. That's why they are always short and simple.I think they should use him like we used Amendola. Keep tossing him the ball and Tavon will eventually break one. What says the ROD hive?
If you look at Jets forums from when Schotty was there you'll see a common theme. He's just not very good. But, there are a couple of surprises in the comments there that make a lot of sense. Schotty is one of the best in the league in scripting the first drive. This is a huge reason why we lead the league in first possession points. His biggest problem is in-game adjustments. This is why we get the feeling as fans that once we get stuffed for 2-3 drives in a row, that we'll never score points the rest of the game.
Because Jets fans are merit enough?
Enough already with blaming the OC after every loss.
The biggest issue with this year is both units have played well but both have not played well at the same time in the same game.
These last 3 weeks the defense has played amazing, but the offense has laid eggs. But prior? Offense was scoring points and going up and down the field.
Seattle and SF are 2 great example. Seattle, people want to say STs won that game but for whatever reason want to foerget the offensive drives in the 4th. All the defense needed was 1 stop and that fake punt never gets called. SF was the complete opposite.
Again, enough already. The Rams have been firing OCs and coaches for 8 years now. What has changed? Nothing. Fans are still blaming the OC. Its downright ridiculous.
There's a definite trend that's been apparent for as long as we've had Schotty as our OC, and that trend is mirrored in fan comments that go as far back as when he was with the jets.
I don't know what else to tell you, but what happened to Tavon in the second half of this game? He was getting his chances on screens and even had a chance on a jet sweep, then nothing...
If I can dig up those comments, you should read them. It'll definitely give you a deju vu feeling.
