One of my favorite football sites on the web is ProFootballFocus.com, a site that does hours of analysis and grades every player on every snap of every game.
The result is a system of premium advanced statistics that they use to really find out who are the best (and the worst) players in football at their respective positions.
I’m a big fan of their work, and I’ve written about it quite a few times here on this site, especially when it pertains to the New York Jets.
Recently, PFF writer Khaled Elsayed wrote a piece about cornerbacks, and how fans of the site are constantly asking the PFF staff about cornerbacks on Twitter, as it’s a hard position to judge from the naked eye.
While the full 2011 statistics are only available with a premium membership to the site, Elsayed was kind enough to give the fans what they wanted. He wrote about some of the best (and worst) corners this season.

(Very) Preliminary Thoughts On New York Jets Off-Season
At this point of the NFL season, it is still very hard to project exactly what type of direction the eliminated New York Jets will go in during the off-season. There are too many variables at play.

BGA: 2012 Salary Cap Update 1.0

WR Santonio Holmes expected to return to the New York Jets in ’12
The offseason has been a trainwreck for the New York Jets this offseason with named and unnamed sources commenting on the state of the locker room this past regular season.

New York Jets owner Woody Johnson made it clear today that wide receiver Santonio Holmes will be back for the 2012 season, despite the chaos he caused in the Jets locker room this season.

Well LT Won’t Be A Jet Next Season…
LT had some shocking/crazy/neverwouldhavethoughtof comments to say about the New York Jets locker room, Sanchez, Holmes, Rex, their style, pretty much anything that can bring him to negativity about the team, during a sit down with HBO’s “Inside the NFL”. He pretty much dissects the JETS and lets us know just how ****** up the team was this year. I Wonder how GM...

Jets Will Not Raise 2012 Ticket Prices
One good thing to come from the Jets' 8-8 season is owner Woody Johnson announcing Thursday the team would not raise ticket prices in 2012.

During a meeting with beat writers,...

Jets Still Grounded in Dysfunction Junction
There isn't much you can credit the Jets with achieving this season, but give them credit for finding a way to remain in the headlines even while the Giants are on the doorstep of the Super Bowl.
