Let’s try to put in perspective the whole kickoff-return disaster. Consider: Before Ted Ginn Jr.’s first touchdown, the Jets had covered 2,842 kickoffs in regular-season franchise history, and only 17 had gone for touchdowns. That’s an average of one out of every 167 returns. Only once, in 1970, did they allow two touchdowns in a season. So what happens yesterday? It occurs twice...
Our kicker's quad injury continues to prevent him from working this week in practice, the week after Lincoln went 1 for 4 at #1 Alabama with two blocked kicks, when any one of them going the other way would've led to a different outcome. While FG protection issues and Lincoln's injury played a part in the missed kicks, the former freshman All-American unfortunately has a history of missing kicks in...
The Jets will be without WR Jerricho Cotchery today as well as WR Brad Smith. That means that David Clowney will start opposite Braylon Edwards at WR, with TE Dustin Keller lining up in the slot when the Jets go three wide. Other inactives for the Jets are as follows. CB Donald Strickland CB Marquice Cole LB Ryan Fowler G Matt [...]
Let's get to the inactives. As expected, WR Jerricho Cotchery (hamstring) and WR Brad Smith (quad) are out. The Jets will start Braylon Edwards and David Clowney at receiver, with Wallace Wright and Danny Woodhead off the bench. Woodhead hit the jackpot today. Not only is he active for the first time in his career, but he's a captain! . This could be the "Rudy" effect. Will the crowd start...
Kris Jenkins realizes Father Time will catch up eventually which is why he is pushing hard now to reach the championship. Former quarterback, Glenn Foley, has found his way out of the darkness.

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,...
