John's Midseason Jets Awards

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 09:08:54 -0500

More photos » by Nick Wass - AP Browse more photos » I'm giving my choices for team awards at the halfway point. MVP: Darrelle Revis What can you say about Revis this year? The guy has literally cut the field in half for opposing passing attacks. He's completely shut down Andre Johnson, Randy Moss, and Terrell Owens. You can probably count the number of plays he's looked bad on one hand. This blitzing defe...

Moore, Clowney, Sheppard practice

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 11:51:56 -0500

Greetings from Florham Park. Here's the early practice report: The three players that didn't practice yesterday - RG Brandon Moore (foot), WR David Clowney (ankle) and CB Lito Sheppard (quad) - are back on the field. They took part in individual and positional drills. We'll see later, when the practice report is released, how much they actually participated. Clowney and Moore will be ready for Sunday. Sheppard is a longshot.

CB Sheppard Limited in Thursday Practice

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 08:50:47 -0500

Jets cornerback Lito Sheppard (quad) was limited in practice on Thursday, according to CBS Sports. Sheppard has missed the Jets’ past two games, but is said to be improving. It sounds about 50/50 as to whether or not he will be active against the Dolphins on Monday.

Sheppard, Strickland out vs. Saints

Fri, 02 Oct 2009 13:26:32 -0500

Hey guys, filling in for Rich Cimini, who's doing a little Daily News Live later today. Watch him for his picks, Rich drops the knowledge with tons of facts! Rex Ryan just told us that CB Lito Sheppard (quad) and CB Donald Strickland (ankle) are OUT against the high-powered Saints. Looks like CB Dwight Lowery will start again. Ryan said he thought about signing a cornerback but says with four safeties they can move enough pieces around. * * * As for matching up with Drew Bre...

Strickland and Sheppard Unlikely to Play Sunday

Fri, 02 Oct 2009 11:00:50 -0500

More photos » by Nick Wass - AP Browse more photos » Bad news out of Florham Park. Lito Sheppard and Donald Strickland are probably out Sunday. So much for the hopes raised by not signing a free agent corner. Playing the run-oriented Tennessee Titans without two-fifths of your starting secondary is one thing. Facing Saints quarterback Drew Brees with a banged-up defensive backfield is quite another.That’s what th...

Sheppard, Strickland are "iffy"

Thu, 01 Oct 2009 14:46:26 -0500

Don't expect to see nickel back Donald Strickland (ankle) Sunday against the Saints. Strickland missed practice again today and looks like a real long shot to play in the battle of the unbeatens. Rex Ryan said Strickland and CB Lito Sheppard (quad) are "iffy," although it's believed that Sheppard is closer than Strickland. Sheppard also sat out. It's hard to imagine either of them playing against the Saints' high-powered passing attack, considering they haven'...

CBs Sheppard and Strickland out for Sunday

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 16:55:18 -0500

Hey guys, filling in for Rich today. Sorry for the late blog, been busy with the fantasy football web chat and other things. The Jets listed CBs Lito Sheppard (quad) and Donald Strickland (ankle) as out after the two did not practice yesterday. OL Matt Slauson (ankle) is questionable after going through limited practice. Everybody else should be ready to go against the Titans. Rex Ryan said earlier today that they would work Sheppard out before the game to see if he can play. But that...

Lito Sheppard Transcript: 8/2/09

Sun, 02 Aug 2009 13:12:11 -0500

Brought to you by the Jets PR Staff, here’s Lito Sheppard’s transcript from Sunday: On Rex Ryan’s training camp… I love it to tell you the truth. There is definitely emphasis on your legs. It’s definitely hard work. I think that (he is doing) a lot better (job) preparing us and not killing us. On “trash talking” during practice… We are all getting more and more comfortable with each other. Once we get that down completely we can definitely start putting it on the running backs and...

Eagles Are Losing Value For CB Lito Sheppard

Sun, 25 Jan 2009 22:02:38 -0500

One of the surprising aspects of the Eagles' loss to the Cardinals in the NFC Championship game was how far cornerback Lito Sheppard fell on the...

Rosenhaus pleads (via YouTube) with Eagles to restructure Lito Sheppard's 5yr/$25mil contract

Sat, 02 Aug 2008 13:53:05 -0500

Via YouTube (yes I said via Youtube) Drew Rosenhaus pleaded with the Eagles to restructure CB Lito Sheppard's contract. This was a surprise to not only the Eagles management and their fans, but to Lito Sheppard himself.

Lito Sheppard Signs Drew Rosenhaus As Agent

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 17:36:48 -0500

For the Eagles to be contenders in 2008 they need a dominant defense. In order for the defense to be dominant they need Lito Sheppard. So today's report of Lito Sheppard signing Drew Rosenhaus as his agent cannot be good news to an Eagles fan. I am already picturing Sheppard doing sit-ups in his driveway! The reports from Derrick Gunn of Comcast Sportsnet also had Rosenhaus down at the NovaCare Complex today meeting with Howie Roseman (Joe Banner also called into the meeting). ...
