I thought of this watching the Jets/Dolphins game from 2000 on NFL network last night.....although the Tuna wasn't coaching at the time, he was still the GM, and his stamp was on the team. It got me thinking how much he used the FB in the passing game....specifically Richie Anderson who he had in NY and Dallas. He also had Keith Byars in NE and NY. Below is a breakdown of FB's under Parcells and their reception numbers.
George Adams, NYG - 1985:31 rec, 1986:35 rec, 1987:27 rec
Kevin Turner, NE - 1993:39 rec, 1994:52 rec.
Sam Gash, NE - 1995:26 rec, 1996:33 rec
Keith Byars, NE - 1996:27 rec (in 10 games); NYJ - 1998:26 rec
Richie Anderson, NYJ - 1997:26 rec, 1999:29 rec; DAL - 2003:69 rec, 2004:26 rec (note - 89 under Al Groh in 2000, with Parcells as GM...aka the boss)
Maybe it's just me, but from what I saw of Mauia last year, I don't see him beign capable of filling this role for us.
I'm thinking that this is where the Lex Hilliard pick came from......perhaps he can bring this added dimension which Mauia is obviously lacking.
