http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/2689 Recent articles about Nick Mangold en-us It's Monday, it's Cleveland, and there's football.  And we're expecting big things from our Brownies tonight coming out of the bye week. While the main event is in Cleveland tonight, there's no place better to start the day's Browns-talk than New York, where the Jets lost yesterday as seven-point favorites to the Jacksonville Jaguars, their fifth loss in six games, to run their record to 4-5.  "Train Rex," said the headline in this morning'...

The Chiefs did little to try and exploit it last week, running only 12 times. Part of this was due to them playing from behind. The Jets are going to test Jacksonville's new 4-3 base defense much more up front. Jacksonville hopes its strength will come from up the middle and tackles John Henderson and Terrance K...

The unit had struggled all season long to generate pressure against opposing quarterbacks all year, 5 in the first 7 games, but registed 3 last Sunday and applied constant pressure. Playing against a suspect offensive line and a quarterback who holds the ball too long had a lot to do with it, but the ...

That's easy to understand. After a 3-0 start, 4-4 seems like a disappointment, especially considering how it has happened.

A potential matchup between Richard Seymour and Robert Turner if Damien Woody can't go is troublesome. On the other hand, undersized Jon Alston lining up on the right side is good for the Jets in their run game. So is the matchup between Tommy Kelly and Brandon Moore/Nick Mangold. Seymour is only...

Pat Carter - AP Browse more photos » Miami ranks second in the league against the run, only surrendering 61 yards per game. The average against them is 2.9 yards per rush. This is going to be a tough team to get the run game going against, but the Jets' offensive line needs to start living up to its potential. The Dolphins are one of the rare teams to operate primarily out of a traditional 2 gap ...

It has been a crazy week for O'Connell: One minute he thinks he's going to be Tom Brady's backup in New England, the next minute he's on a plane to Detroit and the next minute he's on his way to Jersey. "It was definitely a shock to me," O'Connell said of his release by the Patriots. "I was getting ready t...
