Jets | Tony Sparano wants physical offense

Fri, 13 Jan 2012 14:33:53 -0800

New York Jets offensive coordinator Tony Sparano said he wants to incorporate a very physical style of offense next season, often called a "Ground & Pound" offense by head coach Rex Ryan. Sparano will have full control over the offense, meaning he will call all the plays. He is expected to go with a run-first offense, but Sparano also said he wants to have a vertical passing attack. Sparano needs to improve QB Mark Sanchez, and he is interviewing possible replacements for quarterbacks coach Matt Cavanaugh.

Jets | Joe Namath dislikes Tony Sparano hire

Fri, 13 Jan 2012 05:19:28 -0800

Former New York Jets QB Joe Namath said he didn't like the hiring of Tony Sparano as offensive coordinator. Namath does not feel Sparano is qualified for the job. "I've watched Tony work down here with the Dolphins and I thought he carried himself very well through all the adversity and all, but other than having called some plays with the Dallas Cowboys, I don't know what his credentials are for an offensive coordinator," said Namath, who lives in South Florida. Namath suggested that Sparano was hired simply because he's a Bill Parcells disciple, as is Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum.

Jets | Tony Sparano should help Mark Sanchez

Thu, 12 Jan 2012 06:53:39 -0800

The addition of offensive coordinator Tony Sparano should help New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez in 2012. Sparano believes in a power-running game and he emphasizes pass protection with the tight ends and running backs. As a result, the offense would not rely as heavily on Sanchez's arm.
