\"Marty<\/a>Marty Monhinweg is a man who has his work cut out for him.\u00a0 The\u00a0second year\u00a0offensive coordinator isn’t just trying to get the Jets offense heading in the right direction\u00a0after an up and down season from rookie Geno Smith, but he’s trying to reverse a long term trend.<\/p>\n

Over the past 10 years the Jets offense has finished in the top-ten in points scored just one time.\u00a0 Even in that instance, the 2008 Jets that had Brett Favre at quarterback and were able to finish\u00a0ninth in points scored.<\/p>\n

For the Jets, even\u00a0when their offense\u00a0has been good, it’s been bad.\u00a0 How is that possible, you ask?<\/p>\n

Turn back the clock\u00a010 years to the 2004 season.\u00a0\u00a0Running back Curtis Martin led the NFL with 1,697 yards rushing and as a team the Jets protected the football as evidenced by their +18 turnover differential.\u00a0 Surely having the top RB in the NFL and being plus-18 in the turnover department would propel any offense in to the top-ten in the league, wouldn’t it?\u00a0 Yes, of course it would.\u00a0 Unless you were those 2004 Jets.<\/p>\n

JetNation.com looked back over the past\u00a0twenty\u00a0years\u00a0of scoring production from teams that boasted the leagues top rusher.\u00a0\u00a0Of those twenty teams, twelve ranked in the top-10 in points scored.\u00a0 Of the eight\u00a0teams who failed to rank in the top ten, only two had\u00a0a positive +\/- turnover ratio.\u00a0 The 2011 Jacksonville Jaguars who were a meager +5 in comparison to the Jets +18.\u00a0 So with a formula that has routinely produced top-ten offenses for the past\u00a020 years, the Jets didn’t just fail to make the top-10, they failed to make the top-15 coming in at 17th in the NFL in scoring that season.\u00a0 Thank you Paul Hackett.<\/p>\n

So now the Jets usher in year number two of Marty Mornhinweg\u00a0and his west coast\u00a0offense that was so successful in Philadelphia where he was an assistant\/offensive coordinator from 2004-2012.\u00a0 During that span, the same span in which the Jets saw that lone season in the top-ten, Mornhinweg produced six offenses that scored in the top-10.\u00a0 While that was clearly an easier task with Donovan McNabb as his quarterback for much of that time, it can’t be denied that Mornhinweg runs a complex offense that appeared to be simplified last year to accommodate rookie QB Geno Smith.\u00a0 Now, with a year under his belt, an improved receiving corps with the addition of Eric Decker, rookie TE Jace Amaro and as deep a backfield as there is in the NFL, it’s time for the playbook to open up, and for the scoreboard to light up.<\/p>\n

It’s been said many times that if Rex Ryan was given a top-ten offense, his team would be a legitimate super-bowl contender.\u00a0 Here’s to hoping Mornhinweg finds a way to propel the Jets in to a position with which he’s become so familiar, but one that to the Jets and their fans is all too elusive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
