It's that time of the year, the time most of us hated as students -- the mid-term grades. The Jets are 4-4 after starting 3-0, so don't expect too many As and Bs on this card. I'll have the unit grades in tomorrow's paper. Here, we'll go with individual grades. UPDATE: Upon further review, I tweaked a few grades after acquiring some new data and speaking with a couple of scouts. Quarterbacks Mark...

I was reading Alan Faneca’s thoughts that the Jets run game could be better, and I wanted to pose the question to you guys: Can they? Are there things they can do better on the ground?

An offensive line is frequently judged by how well a team's running game is doing. So after two straight 300-yard rushing games that catapulted the Jets' run game to No. 1 in the NFL, past this week's opponent, the No. 2-ranked Dolphins, how does the Jets O-line improve from here on out? “You win a game,” left guard Alan Faneca told newyorkjets.com. “We had two 300-yard games...

As it says in the title ; G Stanley Daniels was added to the practice squad, and T Dane Randolph was released. Randolph made it until the final cuts of the preseason, but was just added recently when T Jamon Meredith was signed off the practice squad by the Bills . Not much to go on with Daniels. Some here from NFL Draft Scout , and more here from Scout.com . He sounds like a big (6'4" and 328...

1. Gutty, gutty win by the Jets. To go from a 14-0 lead to a 17-14 deficit to a 24-17 victory ... it shows something about the team's resilience. 2. That was a nice touchdown run by QB Mark Sanchez, and he heard plenty of kudos from teammates, but he might want to think about sliding next time. He'll learn. By the way, Sanchez took more than 30 minutes in the trainer's room after the game, receiving...

Hell from the Vick Bowl. We're getting close to kickoff at the Meadowlands, where the Jets close the preseason against the Vicks from Philly. Instead of the usual "what to look for" as a preview of the game, I'll go with a roster analysis -- a projection of the 53-man roster. As you know, the final cuts are Saturday. Teams must trim from 75 to 53, which means a lot of pink slips. Well, here...

It's Jacob Bell profile day in the Rams media world. The PD has a piece on Bell, as does the official Rams site , and the Belleville News Democrat . (Gee, I still don't understand why newspapers are going out of business). I worry a little bit about Bell. He really struggled last season. According to the statistical research from KC Joyner's Scientific Football, Bell had some troubling numbers. Point...

Some quick thoughts on the Jets' 24-23 loss in Baltimore: 1. Don't get bent out of shape by Mark Sanchez' skittish performance. Sure, he made a lot of mistakes, but it was against a terrific defense on Monday Night Football. He's a rookie and it was his first start, so he was bound to be jittery. He showed something by not going in the tank after throwing a pick on his first pass. It took him a few...
