JETS: Eric Mangini Conference Call 

New York Jets head coach Eric Mangini addresses the New England media during his conference call on Wednesday, September 10, 2008. Q: How different is it preparing for quarterback Matt Cassel this week instead of quarterback Tom Brady? EM: The week has not dramatically shifted. Obviously things are going to change in terms of his [Matt Cassel] versus Tom's [Brady] style. You can never really replace a player of Tom's caliber. I think that offensive system [New England's] is loaded and very efficient. I thought that Matt came in and did a great job, hitting a 51-yarder from being backed up. It showed how confident they are in him. He had the touchdown to [Randy] Moss, went 13-18 and had a 116 quarterback rating. Knowing Matt from being there [New England], I know how hard he has worked in his role as a backup. I assume he will be extremely efficient. Q: Do you have to set your offense to what quarterback Brett Farve can do or does Farve have to get accustomed to your offensive system? EM: What we try to do each week is be able to play to our strengths and be able to attack our opponent's weaknesses. One of the things that we have focused on and worked with Brett [Farve] on is trying to incorporate all the different things that we would like to do in terms of going into a game plan. Obviously he was behind when he came in, in terms of the overall playbook, but you never use the whole playbook in any given week anyway. You focus on the plays that you are going to run that week. There has been some give and take in terms of terminology but it has been positive. There are so many of our ex-players that are at other teams that we needed to change some of the terms anyway. That was something that was lined up to do prior to the start of the season. Q: So is it sort of a ‘give-and-take' with the team's philosophy and quarterback Brett Farve's philosophy? EM: Yeah, and the one thing is with as many years as Brett [Farve] has played he has pretty much seen all the...

Jets: Eric Mangini Conference Call 

New York Jets head coach Eric Mangini addresses the New England media during his conference call on Tuesday, November 11, 2008. Q: How do you think the two teams have changed since week two? EM: I think the one thing that stayed consistent with both teams is that you see the same game plan specific approach game in and game out. The things that New England has shown against other teams are not necessarily going to be what we get. It is going to be what we get, it is going to be what's given the best chance to win on that Sunday and we try to take that same approach here. I think that we have made some progress both offensively and defensively and I think New England has done the same thing. I really like the way that Matt [Cassel] is playing right now. You can see how comfortable he is in that role. One thing that hasn't changed is the explosive playmakers they have, all their skill guys being able to generate things offensively, defensively how stout their front seven is and [how] disciplined they are and then you add in really, really good special teams - it is a challenge just like it was a challenge that week. Q: How much more comfortable is Brett Favre in your system now than he was in week two? EM: I think each week that he is able to work with the receivers and is able to work within the offense he gets a little more comfortable. But, it will continue to be a work in progress. The more reps that we all play together I think the more progress he'll make. Q: You have been able to force a lot of fumbles on sacks. Is that just a by-product of getting a lot of sacks or are you coaching your guys any certain way when it comes to that? EM: We do a lot of work in that area and that is something that I learned when I was first with the Jets. We spent a lot of time on what's called ball disruption. I know Pepper [Johnson] does it up there. We have focused on individual players and you look at different areas that you can exploit maybe the way they hold the ball, ...
