115-Day New York Jets Warning – Muhammad Wilkerson Is A Beast
Here at Turn On The Jets, we decided to take a page out of Robert Mays book over at Grantland (a polite way of saying rip his article idea off) by counting down the 115 days until the New York Jets kick off, with a daily reason to get excited about their return.

New York Jets Defensive Line: Nucleus In The Making
Over the past few weeks, there has been a great amount of discussion about what type of scheme the Jets are moving toward on the defensive side of the ball.

Should The New York Jets Move To A 4-3?
The New York Jets defense has gradually declined the past few seasons, mostly due to a lack of speed at linebacker and an inability to consistently pressure the quarterback. Heading into 2013, the team will see three former starters at linebacker leave for cap purposes and declined play (Bryan Thomas, Calvin Pace, Bart Scott), along with both starting safeties and a key defensive...

Wilkerson's stellar season may be over a week early
Not many defensive linemen, or defensive players in general, have had as good of a season as the New York Jets' Muhammad Wilkerson, albeit quietly in what was otherwise a dismal season for Gang Green. Unfortunately for Wilkerson, that season will likely end a game short. Jets coach Rex Ryan told reporters Wednesday that the second-year player was concussed Sunday in New York...

New York Jets Defensive Film Breakdown: Week 14
Through a tumultuous up and down 2012 season, the New York Jets have experienced some all-time lows in the Rex Ryan era, this year. While the offense has been stagnant and putrid for the better part of the season, the Jets still somehow find themselves mathematically alive for an unlikely Wild Card spot as we enter the tail end of December. Ryan has rallied his group of embattled...

Mo Knows: Wilkerson becoming big force on Jets' D
Muhammad Wilkerson is a quiet guy, appearing almost shy during interviews and deflecting praise.
But the New York Jets defensive lineman is anything but timid on the field, developing into a dominating force in his second NFL season. While he's not yet a household name, he's a big reason the Jets' once-struggling defense is ranked eighth in the league - and Rex Ryan...
Girls Of The NFL: Week 15
Things are really starting to heat in the AFC playoff race. Cincinnati runs into Nick Foles and the Eagles tonight which might be a must win game if they want to stay alive. The Eagles are getting 5 points at home. We don’t recommend betting on this one because Foles is too unpredictable, but if you’re feeling frisky, take the Birds +5.
This is also a huge weekend for the NFC...
Jets' young D-linemen provide sign of things to come
BY NICK ST. DENISThe New York Jets ran the ball down the throats of the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday, but the efforts of their offensive line and tailbacks may have taken a back seat to those of a pair of promising young defensive linemen in Quinton Coples and Muhammad Wilkerson.Wilkerson was stout throughout the game, logging nearly double the amount of playing time as Coples in...
Initial Reaction – Ugly But Winning Football, Jets Move To 6-7
It has been far from pretty but the New York Jets have won two games in a row and three of their last four after today’s 17-10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Somehow they remain relevant in the AFC Playoff picture for the final wild-card spot, thanks to losses from both the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals today.
The Jets have fully embraced their 2009 style of...
GAME RECAP: JETS 17-JAGUARS 10
Jets hold off Jags while receiving help in the AFC playoff picture.

Shonn Greene and Bilal Powell both ran for touchdowns and the defense put together another great performance to improve the Jets' record to 6-7 on the season. Muhammad Wilkerson...
Turn On The Jets 12 Pack, Week 14 – Jets vs. Jaguars
The Turn On The Jets 12 pack is back with predictions for this week’s “showdown” between the 5-7 New York Jets and 2-10 Jacksonville Jaguars. It is refreshing to remember that despite all the media hype, there are actually bigger circuses in the NFL than the Jets and worse football teams. This is in my mind after looking at the Jets next four opponents (Jacksonville, Tennessee...
New York Jets Defensive Film Breakdown: Week 13
Although it has become an afterthought in the wake of the earth shattering move that replaced the embattled Mark Sanchez with second year pro Greg McElroy this past Sunday, the New York Jets actually provided what was arguably their best defensive effort of the season. While this assertion must certainly be taken with a grain of salt due to the unbelievably poor quality of offensive...
