| Tony Sparano Promises Return To Physical Offense For Jets In 2012 | | | The New York Jets offense suffered through an identity crisis this season, largely scrapping the ground-and-pound, in-your-face approach that helped lead the team to consecutive AFC title games for an attack that promised an amped-up passing look, only to fall flat on its face. Brian Schottenheimer is out and Tony Sparano now is in at offensive coordinator, and the former Dolphins coach has promised something "a little different" next season from the Jets. "You have to form an identity, and I want to have an identity here offensively," Sparano told The New York Times this week, using the word "physical" time and again. That's music to the ears of Jets fans, and to coach Rex Ryan, who just weeks ago was promising Schottenheimer's return but seems to have found something of a soul mate in Sparano. "We're definitely like-minded people," Ryan told the newspaper. Source: NFL.com
