Welcome to our first Turn On The Jets Roundtable of the 2012 season. We will be doing this throughout the year to get multiple opinions in a single article to both preview and predict upcoming New York Jets games. Today myself, Chris Gross and Mike Donnelly discuss what we are most looking forward to seeing tomorrow night - BUY YOUR TURN ON THE JETS SHIRT HERE Joe Caporoso - It has to be Tony Sparano’s new offense. We have heard all off-season about the “Ground and Pound” so let’s see it in action. Last pre-season the Jets were awful running the football and it carried over into the regular season. Let’s see Shonn Greene churn out at least 4 yards a carry on his touches and Bilal Powell or Joe McKnight pop a run over 15-20 yards. The Jets are depleted at wide receiver but that is no reason to not give Mark Sanchez a chance to work with his new vertical threats, Stephen Hill and Chaz Schilens. And yes, it will be interesting to see Tim Tebow in action. I don’t think we will see much...

New York Jets: What Does Mark Sanchez Need To Do In Pre-Season?

Jets rookie Antonio Allen gets ‘B+’ rookie hazing haircut (Picture)

‘Tis the season for rookie hazing, and that means lots of bad haircuts have been circulating around the NFL and will continue to do so until the start of the regular season. Horrendous haircuts seem to be one of favorite pastimes of veterans during training camp, and the buzz job Jets rookie Antonio Allen received this week was a hilarious reminder of that. As you can see, the...

Just a taste of Tebow

CINCINNATI - Tim Tebow's New York Jets preseason debut showed us that The Most Popular Backup Quarterback Ever can run when he needs to and isn't afraid to take a hit or try to stick a pass into traffic. Nothing's changed there. And nothing's changed with the Jets' plans, either. Rex Ryan has been adamant that Mark Sanchez is his starter and Tebow is his backup...

Rex Ryan wearing shirt with ‘I’d Hit That’ on it while posing for pic with young woman

Ha. That’s awesome. Obviously, it is merely a coincidence that the New York Jets head coach is sporting a shirt bearing the double entendre message when he just so happened to agree to pose for a photo with a lovely young woman at what appears to be a bar. Rex Ryan has been happily married [...]

New York Jets Guard Matt Slauson takes a $258,000 paycut that earns him a starting job.

Usually when somebody takes a pay cut in any profession its most likely a bad thing. However for Jets’ Left Guard Matt Slauson a pay cut of $258,000 this season landed him a guaranteed spot on the roster as well as a starting  job on the offensive line in 2012. This will now end the supposed competition Slauson had with Vladimir Ducasse for the left Guard slot. The fourth...

Bengals beat Tebow, Jets in preseason opener

CINCINNATI (AP) -- Tim Tebow picked up some yards by running around a few times. Other than that, there wasn't much in his Jets debut. Certainly nothing to spark any mania back in New York. Tebow had his best moments while scrambling behind reserves on the Jets' line Friday night. He completed only four passes and threw an interception during the Cincinnati Bengals'...

New York Jets: 5 Things to Look for Tonight vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Well, New York Jets fans the wait is finally over. The previous three seasons have been filled with high expectations and guarantees and this one is almost no different.

The Jets play the Cincinnati Bengals for the second straight preseason and it should be a beneficial...

Preseason Week 1: Jets and Bengals Performance Analysis

As preseason games go, we can always find something to construct a plotline. In fact, preseason coverage has an eerily similar feel as Olympic coverage – half of the coverage is spent explaining the background and storyline of an athlete that most have never followed. A short-lived career for one moment of glory, such are the bottom-roster churning NFL preseason games and the...

New York Jets: Mark Sanchez Injury Would Be Catastrophic

Of all the rhetoric, hoopla and nauseating coverage over the arrival of quarterback Tim Tebow, the one thing that I rarely hear discussed is what happens if starting Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez gets hurt?
