Busy day today in Rex-ville. Let's get to the developments:
Kerry Locklin quits/gets fired: My sources tell me this was in the works for some time, with a deteriorating relationship between Locklin and Rex Ryan. That it came after yet another defensive collapse makes it look...

Defensive line coach Kerry Locklin has left the team for personal reasons, according to a person familiar with the team. It was a mutual decision between Locklin and Rex Ryan, the person said, but this sounds a bit fishy. Ryan made no mention of Locklin's departure during his late...

Rex Ryan may want to kiss Bill Belichick’s rings, after all. Belichick’s bizarre decision in Sunday night’s crushing loss to the Colts, going for it on fourth-and-2 in his own territory, means the Jets still have a pulse in terms of the AFC East race. Instead of being...

Some quick post-game thoughts on Jaguars 24, Jets 22:
1. This game is a damning indictment of Rex Ryan. From all indications, he gave a fiery speech Saturday night, challenging the players to perform up to their talent level. That apparently fell on deaf ears because, in the words...

A six-pack of thoughts on tomorrow's game at the Rexolands:
1. Good bye-brations. Since 2002, the Jets are 6-1 following the bye. In fact, they went a cool 3-0 under Eric Mangini, including big upsets over the Patriots and Steelers. That's a lot to live up to, Rex.

Special teams coordinator Mike Westhoff said today that he may replace KR Justin Miller for Sunday's game. Now that wouldn't exactly be getting to the root of the problem, would it? The problem is kickoff coverage. Remember that Ted Ginn Jr., fellow?
