Saints defeat Jets and the Jets will win as a result
The final score was 24-10. The Jets only allowed 10 points on defense to the highly touted Saints offense. The 14 point differential was due to turnovers by the "Sanchize". When you really analize the game, this was a loss that can make the team's year.
For all of the haters and doubters, we know now that this defense is for real. We held Drew Brees to no TD's without...

Why the Jets are 3-0 this year
This is a team that nobody expected this type of start from. Nobody except the coaches, players and myself. I am a firm believer in "you play to win the game" and so when I saw the offseason moves that were made, I thought we could have a great year.
This is a team of talented younger veteran players. Bart Scott and David Harris may be the best tandem of linebackers in...

Pick it up! The Jets defeat the Patriots!
The whole league doubted if the Jets could do it. The whole league except for the coach and the team who never doubted themselves. Today was another clinic in defense for the Jets in beating New England 16-9.
The team will open eyes everywhere now as they have not allowed a touchdown to an opposing offense in 8 quarters of football to start the season. There was no sack on Tom Brady...

Ready for Takeoff!!!
The New York Jets are coming! Those were Rex Ryan's words at his press conference when he was first hired and introduced to our area. Well if the league didn't get the message then, they must have surely got it by now. The Jets absolutely manhandled the Houston Texans yesterday 24-7 in Houston.
The defense was absolutely stiffling. They put pressure on from the very first...

Jet Offense prepare for takeoff!!!
So now that Mark Sanchez is the official starting QB, let's examine the offense as we head into the pre-season finale. We have Sanchez, Cotchery, Jones and Keller as our primary options to matriculate the ball downfield. In total honesty, with the exception of an occasional YAC TD by Cotchery or Keller in the red zone, none of these guys will instill fear in defenses on paper...

Final examination of the NY/NY Battle
So this is a game that is always competitive and this year had more hype than most preseason games in recent memory. After further review of the game, I have the following observations.
Mark Sanchez is a gamer. He reminds me of Pennington with a stronger arm. He has that same moxy and is savvy enough to make things happen when all looks lost. To see him scamble and heave it up for...

You Play To Win The Game!!!
Here is the bottom line on tonights's game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Rex Ryan went for two with the team down by one and 49 seconds left tonight versus Baltimore. This is a move that many will question, but I loved. It's pre-season for crying out loud. Why kick an extra point and risk a potential injury with over-time.
Sanchez was 3-8 versus the Ravens defense and Clemens...

Playmaker potential?
Well if last week did anything, it showed that Mark Sanchez has that play making ability. He connected on his first pass deep to David Clowney and went for 88 yards on three of four passing. He will get the start this week versus the Ravens. It should be an interesting match up as he will likely see a more toned down defense from the Ravens than if it were a regular season match...

Preseson Opener tonight
The Jets will tangle with the Rams tonight. It will mark the first game coached for two rookie head coaches in Rex Ryan and Steve Spagnolo. Both men are defensive gurus, so expect a low scoring game. The starting QB for the Jets will be Kellen Clemens. Expect rookie Mark Sanchez to get some first half reps as well early.
The offensive line is a bit banged up. At yesterday's...

Five key points of training camp
There is much that needs to be sorted out this year in camp. These are what I feel are the five most important things the team needs to focus on in order for a successful campaign this year.
The defense must become more ball hungry. This is a solid team defense. They must now make that transition into a championship caliber defense. They may need to take an approach like the 2002...

Clemens named number one to start
This is how Coach Ryan has started the camp. With Kellen Clemens being named as the number one heading into camp this year. Ryan is a coach who really gets it and understands the game, team, fans and media. We finally have a coach who is not brain dead in one or more of those areas. I like this move a lot, as it is the only move that makes sense.
While we all know that Sanchez is...

Leon Washington is in Camp
This is a good sign of the influence of Rex Ryan. I think that this is a coach who makes his players want to play for him. He keeps things what they are supposed to be at the end of the day...FUN! It is a sport or game after all and while we all get caught up in the success aspect, it's pretty hard to be successful if you are not enjoying what you do.
I have said it enough and...

Thoughts for the upcoming season
WIth all of the talk about how he doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut, I have learned one thing about our new head coach. Rex Ryan is a man who will dominate and impose his will. His team will follow suit this year.
When you look at the history of the league and teams that win, it is a fact that any team that can limit opposing offenses to 17 points or less win 11 games...

TE depth added with R.O
Richard Owens was signed by the team last week. It is a move that should solidify the depth of the TE position significantly. Now there are two proven players and also some rookies and a conversion project to bolster this crucial position.
He is a fifth year player with time spent in St Louis last year and Minnesota prior. Owens is 6'4" and 273 pounds, so he is expected to fill...

Creative formations...
So I am sitting at home watching rugby, Aussie Rules Football and the NFL Network's replay anxiously awaiting the pre-season. I tend to prefer to bring out the good rather than dwell on the bad, so I get to thinking about our team and what our strengths are rather than our weaknesses.
We have a four headed monster of a running game. As mentioned last week, all four of our backs...

Bubba Franks released
General Manager Mike Tannenbaum has announced that tight end Bubba Franks was released. Franks (6'6", 265), is a 10-year veteran and was originally signed by the Jets on Mar. 17, 2008. He caught six passes for 47 yards in eight games (four starts) during the 2008 season. He was re-signed by the Jets on May 12, 2009.
This is somewhat surprising in that, while he was constantly...

Ground and Pound...
From the initial press conference to introduce him to the NY media, Rex Ryan has stated that this will be his approach on offense. When you look at the talent level of the roster, it makes a lot of sense. The Jets have one of the best offensive lines in the league and a crew of running backs that all have game breaking skills.
Thomas Jones has filled in adequately after Hall of...

The Effects of Loosing Pace...
As of late last week, the NFL has suspended Calvin Pace for the first four games of this season without pay for violation of the NFL Policy on Performing Enhancing Substances. This is the chance for last year's number one pick Vernon Gholston to make a name and perhaps a career for himself. Taken number six overall last year, Gholston played little and made even less of an impact...

The War is Won in the Trenches
There is much to be excited about this year with the New York Jets. There is a new head coach, key new additions via free agency and a top five pick quarterback from this year's draft. The thing that may be a bit under the radar to the casual eye, is that the offensive line is returning intact. This unit has a full year together under thier belt and that is both rare and vital to...

TRUST ME...Don't sleep on Chansi Stuckey!
So everybody wants one of the wideout divas in the league. Burress, Edwards, Jones and Marshall are the common names thrown around, some have even thrown Harrison out there. While I like the thought of adding a proven big threat reciever, I want to get one who doesn't shoot himself, drop the ball, do coke or hit women. So those guys are all up a river with a boat with no paddle...

Always Overlooked...
There is much talk about the many additions and changes with the team this year. Whether it's new head coach Rex Ryan, the free agent additions of Bart Scott, Lito Sheppard, Jim Leonhard, Larry Izzo, Donald Strickland, Howard Green, or draft picks Mark Sanchez, Shonn Greene or Matt Slauson. One player who seems to often go practically unnoticed or unmentioned is Marques Douglas...

Key Sophmore Jet players to watch this year pt.4-David Clowney
The final player I wish to cover in this four part article is David Clowney. While Dustin Keller made an instant impact last year. Clowney turned heads in pre-season and then was injured for most of the year. This sophmore player has the potential to be the biggest unproven "X-factor" on the team this year.
The reality of the situation is that the Jets have no proven...

With the news that Plaxico Burress' trial has been postponed to September, there is great speculation that he may get a chance to play in the NFL this year. There is a need for the Jets to improve the talent and depth at the wideout position. I will examine what this latest development means in this article.
There are two main factors that will affect the outcome of whether...

Key Sophmore Jet players to watch this year pt.3-Dustin Keller
This week, continuing my in depth look at second year players to watch, I would like to focus on a player with huge potential for greatness in the league, Dustin Keller. He drew comparisons to Tony Gonzalez and Dallas Clark in the NFL combines, as having the potential to be an elite Tight End. As a rookie last year, Keller showed signs of being an unstoppable force on offense.

Plax watch begins...
Today is a huge day for the New York Jets. It is the day they find out what will happen regarding the legal issues surrounding Plaxico Burress. If he can avoid a jail sentence, I fully expect to see him in Green and White.
Mike Tannenbaum and Rex Ryan have tried to downplay any interest, but it is painstakingly obvious that this is the player the team needs to push the offense...
