BRETT FAVRE IS A JET
How will Brett fit into the Jets? is the question most are asking. But I tend to view it the other way around. How will the Jets adjust their offensive terminology to what Favre knows best and how will they actually call the game with Favre as the player?
FAVRE THE PLAYER
The Jets would be smart to tag all their pass plays with names that Brett has been calling for most of his career. For example, the Jets run a numbering system, where each route is described by a number. 343 means the outside receiver runs an out, the inside runs an in cut and the other outside receiver runs an out. In Brett's old world, they may have just called that play with a word like "Omaha." So, for the next two weeks I see the Jets blending the two systems together. The more proficient and clear they can make their terminology, the quicker Favre will make an impact. With veteran coaches like offensive line coach Bill Callahan and running back coach Jimmy Raye on the staff to assist offensive coordinator Brain Schottenheimer in this task, they should be able to make this work.
FAVRE THE PLAY CALLER
One of the finest aspects of Brett Favre's play last year was his ability to change the play at the line and put the Packers in the "right" play all the time. If the defense plays off coverage to the wide outs, then Favre has the ability to make eye contact to the receiver and give him a quick throw. So, the Jets will need to make Favre feel very comfortable at changing plays and I expect to see the Jets in a lot of no-huddle, two-minute offense to allow Favre the freedom that makes him so successful.
