September's Jets-Patriots game The last time the Jets swept the Patriots in one season, Bill Clinton was president and Vinny Testaverde was quarterback. Since 2000, there have been four Patriots sweeps and four splits. Thanks to a 16-9 win over the Patriots at the Meadowlands in Week 2, the Jets can end their drought this week. In that Week 2 win , the Jets shut down Randy Moss and didn't allow a...
WHEN THE PATRIOTS RUN The Jets’ run defense lost a lot of its swagger (and beef) when chunky nose tackle Kris Jenkins was lost for the season with a knee injury. Manning the middle now is Sione Pouha, who has the bulk (6 feet 3 inches, 325 pounds) but lacks both the explosiveness to make plays in the backfield and ...
The Jets returned to work today, preparing for Sunday's must-win game (where have we heard that before?) at the Patriots. Only two players missed practice: S Jim Leonhard (thumb surgery) and LB Vernon Gholston (hamstring). As Rex Ryan noted Monday, Leonhard is unlikely to play Sunday. From what I've been told, they may not know for sure how long he will be sidelined until late this week. Eric Smith...
Already without one defensive difference maker in Kris Jenkins, an anonymous source has confirmed to the Star-Ledger that Jim Leonhard won’t be suiting up this weekend for the Jets against the Patriots. The Jets will be without safety Jim Leonhard on Sunday against the Patriots and maybe longer after he underwent surgery on his right thumb [...]
Photograph of Mark Sanchez after the Dolphins loss by Wilfredo Lee/AP Mark Sanchez says the Jets are better than their 4-4 record, which "doesn’t show the type of players we have, the kind of people we have in this locker room and the kind of coaching we have.” Bill Parcells, who said, "You are what your record says you are," would beg to differ. That said, the Jets did...
This is the first in a series of features on the Jets' practice squad players that will appear every week newyorkjets.com. When Kris Jenkins was placed on injured reserve on Oct. 20, officially ending his season, defensive tackle Antonio Garay was signed to the practice squad. Now the Rahway, N.J., native’s locker is right next to Big Jenks, and Garay is taki...

The 2009 NFL Power Rankings Week 9 edition has a new team up top, and thankfully for the Rams, a new team on the bottom as well. The Elite: The Vikings won a big game at Lambeau, while the Colts had to fight off the pesky 49ers late. Denver finally lost to a good Ravens team. 1. New Orleans Saints 2. Indianapolis Colts 3. Minnesota Vikings 4. Denver Broncos 5. New England Patriots 6. Cincinnati Bengals...
Understandably, when Kris Jenkins went down, Jets fans panicked almost immediately. How would a Jets defensive line that struggled so mightily with The Fat Man on the sideline last season handle having him on the bench for the entire season in ‘09? Thankfully, the development of young players Sione Pouha and Mike DeVito has helped [...]
The Dolphins shredded the Jets for 268 rushing yards in their first meeting. That performance surprised the Jets, but one wonders what they can do about it because they have since lost nose tackle Kris Jenkins, their best run-stopper, to a season-ending injury.
What a week of trash talk. To recap the recent Jets-Dolphins history of smack: The offseason : Rex Ryan and Channing (Fifteen Minutes of Fame) Crowder trade barbs in the offseason. The Monday night meeting : Calvin Pace whines about the Wildcat after the Wildcat rips the Jets. The Dolphins fire back, basically saying they "out-toughed" the Jets. The buildup : Bart Scott sets the tone for...
Sanchez, after the Dolphins beat the Jets earlier this season Miami knocked the Jets from the playoffs in Week 17 last season and delivered a 31-27 defeat in South Florida earlier this season. So the Jets, who finally ended a three-game last week against the lowly Raiders, have some extra motivation against the Dolphins at the Meadowlands. The Jets have stayed on the ground, rushing for 300 yards...
After three weeks of disappointment the Jets regained their bearings against Al Davis’ team er… circus unfortunately it came with a price as the Jets would lose Leon Washington for the rest of the season after just losing Kris Jenkins a week before to a ACL tear. The Jets are heading into a BYE week and are [...]
Last week I scraped by on a 7-5 record and 2-2 on Fav Five picks, running my yearly ATS record to 55-46, 13-7. The college picks are now at 24-23 after a horrible 1-6 week. This is the real tough part of the season for college betting as we do not know how certain teams react when they fall completely out of national title and conference races. College Picks Texas -9.5 Oklahoma State Texas . Oklahoma...
Darrelle Revis made an interesting comment Wednesday when he was asked to characterize the Jets' rivalries against the Dolphins and Patriots. The Patriots rivalry is fierce, he said, but there's very little trash talk on the field or before the game, just two bitter rivals trying to beat the stuffing out of each other. As for the Dolphins, Revis said it's all about the trash talk -- before, during...
