New York Jets preparing for New England Patriots' up-tempo offense - ESPN New York

Quote:

"It's borderline illegal because sometimes the guys aren't always set when they snap the ball," Pace said Wednesday. "But it's smart. Why not hurry a team up? I wish we would do it. For a defense, it just puts pressure on you."

The Jets are trying to simulate the Patriots' up-tempo offense in practice, but it's not easy. When the scout-team offense finishes a play, it huddles to read the next play card, usually held up by an assistant coach. That takes precious seconds. When Tom Brady shifts into high gear, the Patriots' no-huddle attack operates at a breakneck pace.

As it turns out he is trying to say something +ve

Sensationalist headline - reading the entirety of what he said, it wasn't that bad.

Pats are going to go all-out trying to set as many tempo records as possible in this game. It's going to get ugly.

Goodell allowed the story to be planted in the NY press...so that when the refs call the Patriots 10 or 15 times during the game giving his Jets the chance to sub, he can hide behind the officials...again...he should have immediately come out and lambasted Pace and the Jets for making false statements that give the league a black mark.....of course, having seen the joke excuse he came up with to NOT sanction the Jets or Ryan for REAL CHEATING(the Alosi scumbag incident), it's no wonder THIS is being allowed and actually SANCTIONED AND PROMOTED by Goodell through his ESPN mouthpieces.

Joker mate, your obsession with Goodell is unhealthy!

The guy is a pathetic excuse for a commissioner but you need to try get over it a little

The excuses to lose are already piling up....

Pace also mentions how he wishes the Jets would do it too. I think he means expanding on their existing one-word plays like "Interception" and "Fumble" and "Groundball."
