New York Jets offensive coordinator Tony Sparano said he wants to incorporate a very physical style of offense next season, often called a 'Ground & Pound' offense by head coach Rex Ryan. Sparano will have full control over the offense, meaning he will call all the plays. He is expected to go with a run-first offense, but Sparano also said he wants to have a vertical passing attack. Sparano needs to improve QB Mark Sanchez, and he is interviewing possible replacements for quarterbacks coach Matt Cavanaugh.
