Jason Taylor, Meet John Rocker…

Even if New York fans are everything you say they are, saying it to
the press is a whole other matter. Jason Taylor has just opened New
York's version of Pandora's Box for the rest of his career,
GUARANTEED.
Looks like this team has missed it's “window” and one of the best speed-rushers in the game is trying [...]

Jets Crack Top 10 in Power Rankings

More and more folks are taking the Jets seriously, at least this week.
The Power Rankings from FOX Sports, ESPN and CBS all have the Jets in the top ten. It is good to see the team getting some recognition for their actions so far, but we will need to stay tuned to see [...]

Vilma: I'm Hoo-ome!!!!

Heading to your hometown, playing a hated divisional rival, starting your first NFL game AND calling the plays for ten other guys? Just another week for Jonathan Vilma.
Vilma writes in his ESPN Rookie Diary that he is looking forward to the game, but not at the expense of a teammate's health.
Everyone has been saying [...]

The Injury Shuffle

The Star Ledger reports that Jets Fans can breathe a collective sigh of relief, it looks like Center Kevin Mawae won't break his streak for consecutive starts and will play against the Dolphins, in some capacity, though Herm ain't saying where. Everything looks to point to Mawae and Kendall flip-flopping, since the injury is [...]

News from Captain Obvious

Dave Hutchinson (AKA Captain Obvious) writes for the Star-Ledger today that the Jets
A) Paul Hackett didn't have a good year in '03
2) Hackett was ill-equipped when Pennington went down
c) The run has worked so far for the Jets this year
IV) There is a lot of season left to play
Well the runnning thing [...]

Bipolar Disorder

Who needs some lithium? Apparently, us Jets fans do. Not that I am any great Jets message board world traveler, but it seems that to every board I go to there are two distinct takes on the Jets from the fans thus far: gushing praise or damnable contempt.
Let us relish this moment, [...]

Win Leaves Unanswered Questions

CuMart had another great day, but it is obvious that there are still some serious questions about this team. A blown kick coverage, the bend not break mentality of the secondary, and Hackett's overuse of Martin make the bye a welcome sight even this early in the season.
I think this team has the ability [...]

Best in League?

Alan Hahn writes today in the Newsday that he thinks that this offensive line has a chance to be one of the premiere groups in the League. With veteran Kevin Mawae leading the group and the addition of Mawae's old teammate and respected vet, Pete Kendall, things are running smoothly (after only one week). [...]

The "Big, Smooth Cadillac"

It seems that Herman has a new nickname for his Running Back: “Cadillac.”
Martin is poised to break some records this year, and the best part is that he will be ready to get up and run right back to the huddle after he does.
On Sunday, Martin will make club history, but [...]

Lunch Pail Mentality

Wayne Chrebet has been a great example to the Jets Lunchpail Mentality. This guy craves to be in the game and help the team in whatever capacity he can, even if he only gets to make 2 catches… one of which was clutch. Although Chrebet will never again (and really shouldn't have been) [...]

Curtis versus LaDanian

Looking forward to this weekend's game, the Jets Defensive line will get a good test versus one of the most prolific young backs in the league facing LaDanian Tomlinson. After containing Rudi Johnson last week, and even causing him to fumble for the first time in his short career, Donnie Henderson will face an [...]

Jonathan Vilma's ESPN Diary

I like this kid. He is well-spoken in interviews I have seen with him but this blurb reminds me of the scene in Bull Durham when Kevin Costner is explaining to Tim “Meat” Robbins about all the cliches of the bigs.
I thought I played well in my NFL debut — a 31-24 win over the [...]

Jets are twice the team the Giants are …this week

Bob Glauber, NY Newsday football reporter has the Jets ranked at an optimistic 13th coming off their win over Marvin Lewis' Bengals (28th) in this weeks Power Rankings, with the Giants languishing in the thirties. I am glad to see the Jets on the rise, with Pennington healthy and their defense hungry, this team [...]

Pennington: "You can go to 'Madden Football'"

Looks like Paul Hackett is off the hot seat a little and has the tools in place to take some more risks this year with Mini-Joe.
Edwards has stated that he hoped to get the running game going against the Bengals, due to the few reps the wideouts had gotten in camp, and it obviously [...]
