On Coach Ryan… Knowing that (Coach Ryan) is emotional really shows (us) that he cares about the game. I am pretty sure that if you were to check when we had that team meeting on Monday there were a couple of guys ready and fired up to play. Our future is ahead of us. If we [...]

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...

From the Jacksonville-Jets game: "It included a Jets defense trying to allow a touchdown to give Jacksonville the lead and the Jaguars refusing to score it. And it had nothing to do with either team trying to lose. Jaguars running Maurice Jones-Drew, one of the stars of the game, intentionally dropped to his knee before the end zone after a 9-yard gain to set up the winning field goal. Mindful...

Sanchez shook...

Ryan & Pettine, the minds behind the D Jets defensive coordinator Mike Pettine Sione Pouha spotted Kris Jenkins on the other side of the New York Jets' locker room and shouted out a special request. "Hey, let me wear your jersey on Sunday," Pouha said. Jenkins didn't miss a beat, maintaining his sense of humor despite being out for the rest of the season with a knee injury. "OK,...

When you lose a 6’4”, 360-pounder, you’re not going to replace him with just one guy. The Jets know that the absence of Kris Jenkins on the field creates an obvious hole in the defense, and they’re going to take the committee approach in replacing him. Sione Pouha, Marques Douglas, Mike DeVito and Howard Green, among others, will fill the gap on the D-line starting Sund...

On the loss… It’s still a loss. Regardless of personal success, our goal is always to win the game and when that doesn’t happen, you feel a little empty on Mondays. On if the team found any answers when they looked at the film…We could. They had an excellent game plan. When we didn’t execute, they took [...]

A little film study can do a world of good. Especially, when it comes to giving credit where it’s due. Yet, on defense, there isn’t much credit to go around. But, Kris Jenkins was exceptional, again, and David Harris played very well. Shaun Ellis and Marques Douglas didn’t embarrass themselves either. Still, this loss has [...]

Everybody in New York is buzzing about Rex Ryan and his blitzing defense, and with good reason. Any team that makes Tom Brady look like … um, well, Matt Schaub deserves many props. But how did they do it? Did they really blitz on every down? It sure looked that way, but the film, as they say in the business, never lies. So I broke down the tape. For the purposes of this discussion, and all future...

The Jets catch a big break today, as Patriots WR Wes Welker (knee) has been declared inactive. He was limited all week in practice and was listed as questionable. Most everybody assumed he'd play, so this comes as a surprise. Look for Joey Galloway to get the start opposite Randy Moss, although that isn't confirmed. For the Jets, there are a few notables among the inactives. Rookie RB Shonn Greene,...

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...
