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...

Weird day today at the FloP. It almost felt like the end of the season, with players packing their bags. This time, it's a bye week, and Rex Ryan gave the players six days off. It's unconventional, to be sure, but Ryan felt the team would be best served by getting away from football for a while. Ditto, the coaches. He wants them out of the building by Thursday, staying away to re-charge. For a coach...

Good afternoon from Houston's Reliant Stadium. The roof is closed and the season is about the open. The Jets and Texans announced their inactives. The biggest name on the Jets' list is rookie RB Shonn Greene, who missed the final pre-season game because of a rib injury. He's almost 100%, but this decision came down to numbers. Plus, Greene isn't a special-teams contributor. So the three-headed monster...

One last thought on Lord Favre, and we'll move on: It was incredibly self-serving of him to re-visit last season's injury with the Jets. By revealing that his torn biceps tendon was diagnosed with four or five games left in the season (the timetable was confirmed today by GM Mike Tannenbaum), he knew it would put the Jets in an uncomfortable position. But he did it anyway, and he did it for one reason:...

The Green & White phase of Ben Hartsock's NFL career began with a small miscommunication. The sixth-year tight end, who had just signed with the Jets last Wednesday, didn't think he was suiting up the next night for the final preseason game against Philadelphia. Then it was suggested he throw on the uni, minus the helmet, "just to look like a teammate." Hartsock knew exactly how ...

The Jets have been awarded two players on waivers from the Titans -- P A.J. Trapasso and TE Matthew Mulligan, according to sources. Trapasso is best known for hitting the new $40 million scoreboard in Dallas, creating a firestorm. His arrival means incumbent Reggie Hodges is a toast. No surprise there. Rex Ryan made it clear yesterday that they were looking for a punter. Mulligan, a second-year player,...
