(Credit: Yahoo) Former NFL defensive lineman Trevor Pryce is a big dude. 6 foot 5 to be exact. Battle tested gridiron warriors that possess his size aren’t afraid of many things. However, there is an animal out there that Pryce doesn’t particularly care for: the bullfrog. Via USA Today Sports: “I didn’t like the look of them. I always thought as a kid that they were filled with pus,” Pryce, who frequently saw the creatures while growing up in central Florida,  told USA TODAY Sports. “If I was to ever run over one it would splat like a balloon and I just could not get that image out of my head. Plus, they gave you warts. I thought that was the most disgusting thing ever. Neither of those things are true, I don’t think, but it made for an interesting childhood because I’m scared of nothing else. I’m not scared of animals. I’m not scared of death. I’m not scared of violence. I do not like bullfrogs.” This fear of bullfrogs led Trevor Mon, 20 May 2013 17:04:20 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/trevor_pryces_fear_of_bullfrogs_led_to_him_writing_a_book_about_it/13657897 http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/trevor_pryces_fear_of_bullfrogs_led_to_him_writing_a_book_about_it/13657897 Trevor Pryce’s fear of bullfrogs led to him writing a book about it http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/articles/trevor_pryces_fear_of_bullfrogs_led_to_him_writing_a_book_about_it/13657897 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/c/a/cae04916edbe706428f6ffe5ae4bed29f3356f7c/mini/Cleveland_Browns_v_0269.jpg 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. Mays has the whole NFL to work with, we only have the Goddamn Jets…now there is a challenge, step your game up Mays!  We continue today with underrated Jeremy Kerley (Note, you can track this entire series right here) Despite the festering sewage hole that was the New York Jets offense in 2012, wide receiver Jeremy Kerley managed to have an impressive season. 56 receptions for 827 yards and 2 touchdowns may not turn heads at first glance but to have those numbers with the worst quarterback situation in the NFL, no supporting wide receivers or tight ends and a mediocre running game? Those numbers speak to how talented Kerley is and how he should never, ever be clumsily clumped together with the Jets wide receiver mess last s...

That, he promised, will be his last bold Joe Namath-type proclamation. "I’ve already gotten in trouble for saying some things about playoffs and things, which I don’t regret," Smith said Sunday on Sirius XM Radio. "I don’t think I’ll go as far as being as bold as Joe was." Could Rex Ryan have gotten to his new quarterback and explained how those blustery pre-season predictions can come back to kick you in the rear-end? Smith is learning the hard way how different the New York media is from the small town press of West Virginia.  He fired his agents after being passed up in the first-round of the NFL draft and was criticized for being aloof and more focused on his texting than meeting executives from NFL teams inside Radio City Music Hall.  Smith called the scrutiny here “ey Mon, 20 May 2013 10:07:00 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/geno_smith_i_got_in_trouble_for_making_playoff_guarantee/13654258 http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/geno_smith_i_got_in_trouble_for_making_playoff_guarantee/13654258 Geno Smith: I got in 'trouble' for making playoff guarantee http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/geno_smith_i_got_in_trouble_for_making_playoff_guarantee/13654258 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png Zach Rogers is an UDFA (Undrafted Free Agent) wide receiver signee, coming out of the University of Tennessee. Rogers landed onto the Jets squad after the signing of many other UDFA's. Scouts have praised Rogers for his play at Tennessee, some even expected him to get drafted. Although Zach Rogers wasn't a big time breakout player at UT, he was arguably the most consistent receiver on the team. Even alongside receivers Cordarrelle Patterson and Justin Hunter. Let's start with criticism... Rogers is no doubt one of the smaller guys at receiver (6', 182 lbs). This could be the "life and death" of a career. Smaller guys coming across the middle of the gridiron may lead to the bigger, huskier linebackers licking their chops for a meal. Size does matter in some cases on the field, and it can be the difference of a few extra yards, or getting the wind knocked out of your chest. Being a wideout may not be in the future for Rogers, but if he were to take ov...

That’s what Geno Smith is learning. After predicting the New York Jets would make the playoffs, Geno learned firsthand what it means to shut and play, as he was quickly reprimanded by the Jets for his outlandish prediction. “I’ve already gotten in trouble for saying some things about playoffs and things, which I don’t regret,” Smith said Sunday on Sirius XM Radio. “I don’t think I’ll go as far as being as bold as Joe was.”   “I don’t think I’m a bad guy,” he said. “I don’t think I’m some of the things they try to make me out to be. It’s a part of the media. The one thing that I understand is you can’t take it personally. Those guys have jobs and the key to their jobs is to sell papers and to keep the fans looking. So they’re going to spin things and try to make an interesting story out of something that may not be so interesting.” Did Geno mean any harm when he made that bold statement? Of course not, but a Mon, 20 May 2013 09:49:46 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/geno_smith_in_trouble_for_guaranteeing_jets_playoff_berth/13654360 http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/geno_smith_in_trouble_for_guaranteeing_jets_playoff_berth/13654360 Smith 'in trouble' for playoff berth talk http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/geno_smith_in_trouble_for_guaranteeing_jets_playoff_berth/13654360 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/e/4/e43ad15cc9411a62e12462ca2d5d57d398fb5d69/mini/smith.jpg Geno Smith has been a quick study when it comes to learning how to handle the intense media presence that envelopes the New York Jets. Smith provided a shining example of how not to deal with the media during the week preceding the 2013 NFL draft. So much so that his mouth and the fingers that typed some ill-advised Tweets may have cost him first-round money.  On Sunday, he spoke with SiriusXM Radio, via ESPN, about getting a talking to about his choice of words moments after being drafted by the Jets in the second-round.

But for him, it's time to sit down and talk candidly and intelligently to the media, and show them that he's not what everyone is saying he is - cellphone-obsessed prima donna who thinks he's better than he really is. "I've already gotten in trouble for saying some things about, you know, playoffs and all that stuff, which I don't regret," Smith told Alex Marvez on SirisuXM NFL Radio. "But I don't think I'll go as far as to being as bold as Joe (Namath) was." It's been a whirlwind these past few months for Smith, we'll give him that. First, he was the best quarterback in the draft, then some critics really blasted him and called him anything but. He then was skipped over the enitre first round only to be selected byt the New York Jets. He then makes the curious dec...

The quarterback was criticized for saying the 2013 Jets would make the playoffs, which seems highly improbable for a franchise in rebuilding mode. There were reports Smith was prepared to leave draft festivities in New York City last month after he wasn't chosen on the opening day. Smith stayed -- a decision he and his family claimed was always the plan, even with the disappointment of not being a first-round selection. Smith fired his agents shortly after the draft, triggering another round of stories about his motives. He was knocked for the disconnected way he allegedly conducted himself during pre-draft team interviews, which may have contributed to his slide into the second round. The word "diva" was even being tossed around about a player who had received positive reviews for his leadership skills at West Virginia. Smith says that he stands by his Sun, 19 May 2013 16:41:07 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/geno_takes_a_beating_before_a_snap/13650529 http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/geno_takes_a_beating_before_a_snap/13650529 Geno takes a beating before a snap http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/geno_takes_a_beating_before_a_snap/13650529 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png Last week, Mike Goodson, who was signed by the Jets two months ago to a three year, $6.9 million contract, was arrested on weapons and drug charges. The running back allegedly was in possession of marijuana and a semi-automatic .45-caliber gun. While Goodson was not driving the SUV that when it was pulled over, that didn't absolve him from responsibility. With such serious charges being applied to such a marginal player, it's likely that Goodson's time in New York is done, and it's very possible that his NFL career is also over. Offensive lineman Willie Colon weighed in on the topic. "It's one of the things where it's zero-tolerance with stuff like that." "It's sad. Mike could have been huge for us," Colon told the New York Daily News. "He wasn't around a lot, so I didn't really get to see him a lot. For the most part, I was kind of anticipating seeing how he was going to do in OTAs." John Idzik ha...

Cimini adds that Smith will need to prove capable of running the team’s offense in order to stave off Mark Sanchez. It’s no secret that Smith is the preferred option over Sanchez, but Cimini mentions that starting Geno earlier on could allow him to be “swallowed up by the enormity of the challenge” and come at the “expense of his psyche.” Starting Sanchez would at least reduce the initial pressure placed on Smith and would allow Sanchez to take the heat if they struggle. Cimini expects there to be an internal debate if the competition is close. The post Geno Smith The “preferred candidate” To Start For The Jets appeared first on NFL Trade Rumors -.

With all of the criminal charges that Goodson is now facing, the Jets would be wise to cut bait as soon as possible.  They can find another running back in free agency.  There are plenty of them left.

My pre-draft opinions of Geno Smith are documented here and here. I thought he was strong value at #39 and was happy the Jets didn’t use one of their first round picks on him or sacrifice any picks to move up for him in the 2nd round. Prior to the draft I wrote this - In the proper situation, Smith should be a productive starter in this league with the potential to develop into a Pro-Bowler. He remains rough around the edges and if put in the wrong situation, shouldn’t be expected to immediately turn around a bad team. The importance of the Jets grooming him properly was discussed here and if the Jets don’t put too much on his plate this season, he should be fine. This will be a run heavy offense that emphasizes a high amount of screen passes and quick releases to the outside, which plays to Smith’s strengths. It is a good thing the Jets have Marty Mornhinweg running th...

EDISON – New York Jets running back Mike Goodson was taken into custody early this morning for drug possession and weapons charges, News 12 New Jersey confirmed Friday. Sources say Goodson and a companion were found intoxicated in an SUV along Route 80 in Denville. Authorities have not said why the car was stopped on the highway. Goodson was being taken to a hospital when authorities discovered marijuana in his possession. Officers searching the SUV also found a loaded 45-caliber handgun. Both Goodson and his companion, identified as Garret Evans, were taken to a hospital for an evaluation. They were then released to State Police custody and transported to the Netcong barracks.

Some has been warranted, some has not. Well now his competitors are weighing in even if they’ve never played a snap with him. Outspoken Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith jumped on Mark during a recent radio interview. “I wouldn’t let Mark Sanchez throw me a paper bag sandwich,” Smith said on WFNZ, via the Sporting News. (ProFootballTalk) Normally one would just say that’s a player trying to get into an opponents head but you can’t say that here. Smith plays in the opposite conference and the Panthers face the Jets only once every few years. This year does happen to be that year though. What makes this truly harsh is this Steve Smith, he’s been playing for the Carolina Panthers. When have the Panthers had a good quarterback(sorry the jury is still deliberating on Cam Newton)?

He was cut by the Jacksonville Jaguars just prior to the 2011 season, and signed with the Dolphins last offseason. But he never took the field for Miami after have arthroscopic surgery. He was released. The Jets signed Garrard on March 11, and was expected to compete for the starting job.
