LATEST STORIES FROM JETS JOURNAL

One last thing…

I didn’t want to have to write this on a day filled with actual Jets news, but this is the last post I’ll be writing for Jets Journal. I’ve decided to leave The Journal News and today is my last day. As a lot of you can probably tell, I have loved every minute covering this football [...]

Sanchez to start

Jets coach Rex Ryan has spent weeks watching Mark Sanchez and Kellen Clemens, looking at his quarterbacks’ numbers and film, trying to judge character and potential. But in the end, he opted to go with his gut. This morning he called the two into a closed door meeting and told Sanchez the starting job belonged to the [...]

Where it stands now

No, Rex Ryan is not ready to name a starting quarterback. When both potential starters get interceptions returned for touchdowns within minutes of taking the field in a preseason game in Baltimore, it’s hard to get too excited about either one. Both rookie Mark Sanchez and Kellen Clemens looked better as they went along later earned [...]

Post Baltimore

The starters are out, all that’s left is the final score. Mark Sanchez got his start, and in under a minute had a pass intended for Tony Richardson intercepted by Haloti Ngata and run in for a touchdown. In less than a minute the Ravens had a 7-0 lead. But that wasn’t all. In the first [...]

Baltimore

Of course you can’t get too excited about preseason games, starters don’t play much and the final score doesn’t matter. But you just know Rex Ryan would love to get the better of his old team with the Jets play Baltimore tonight at 8. Most coaches would try to downplay the significance to lower expectations, [...]

Last night, the final night of camp in Cortland, the Jets had the rookie show and the announced that James Ihedigbo was the winner of the King Ugly comptition.

Leavin’ on a Jet plane

Oh, Brett Favre. It is always dangerous to underestimate how much he dislikes training camp. The former (and briefly at that) Jets quarterback will play for Minnesota next year, which one might cynically think he’d hoped to do ever since leaving Green Bay during the last offseason. At least the Jets don’t have to give up [...]

Defense and job interviews

Here are some of the highlights from yesterday’s practice, the first after a loss to the Rams in the first preseason game of the season. Clearly, Jets coach Rex Ryan is starting to get tough on players. Then of course there are the issues with the defense. Let’s start with the nose. NT Kris Jenkins on [...]
