Coach Ryan has a lot of different faces around this year, starting with the guy in the picture, Tony Sparano. They have retooled a lot on the defense, and added some new options on the offensive side of the ball as well, like Stephen Hill and Terrance Ganaway, among others.
They also installed an old attitude, the Ground and Pound. They have a new offensive coordinator to lead it, the aforementioned Tony Sparano. They also have a new offensive line coach in Dave Guglielmo to preach physicality as well.
They have retooled quite a bit. But have they retooled enough? Changes in coaching are great, but execution on the field is what will make the difference, as I have discussed many times. Let’s look at the evolution of the offensive line, through the history of the Ground and Pound offense.

Alan has been a passionate Jets fan since 1985. Obviously, that means he is a glutton for punishment, as he has suffered through many Jets disappointments. He remembers Mark Gastineau's late hit in the 1986 AFC Divisional Playoff game like it was yesterday. There have been many more failures than successes, but through it all, Alan has remained true to the Gang Green. He has been blogging for the Jets on various websites for the past 5-6 years. He lives and breathes the NY Jets all year round, and is committed to bringing the Jets passion to "The Jet Press" on a daily basis.
