Signs of Life

Sounds like Mr. Pennington is on the mend,
and will back up Quincy Carter this week against the Texans. Carter has
played well so far as a starter, going 2-1 in that time. At this point,
Herm wants to protect Pennington, so that he doesn't re-injure himself
by taking a hit, but at the same time, wants him to [...]

It's Gettin Ugly

Back from Florida! After days of spending quality time with family,
I truly had no phone or Internet access and I was unable to post.
Yesterday as I was hung out in the kindgom of the rat and
sat in airports, my mind wandered and I thought about the Jets game in
Arizona and was a little nervous about [...]

Week 11 Targets

In
terms of receiving, this is slowly turning into Justin McCareins team.
With the most targets, clutch catches and some important touchdowns, he
is emerging as the Jets' best option.
Having seen some of his work last year, I was excited to hear about
the trade, but to the general public, it is becoming more clear now why
the Jets traded [...]

Hanging Chad?

A few notes…

Chad is on the mend, but a long way from bringing himself and the team back to full health.

See Herm's answers to questions on some of the decisions that probably had you (like me) either totally disconsolate or screaming at my TV set on Sunday.

With the Jets playing a number of Cover-2 [...]

Mistake by the Lake

It was a win, and that's about all you can say about it, apparently most of the New York Media agrees, starting with Ken Berger.
In short, the Jets won because the of Phil Dawson's two botched (he
hadn't missed since last October) kicks, LaMont Jordan stepping up when
Martin went for an MRI and was limited the [...]

Fog of War

For lack of a better word Ken Berger's article detailing NFL Films coverage of
what happened on the sidelines during last weeks loss to the Ravens is
stunning, and not in a good way, but in a “I am already feeling sick
and now I just drank a quart of milk that has been expired for two
weeks” kind [...]

Jets at Cleveland Matchup

First off, Mr. Pennington is out likely 4 weeks, at least. I knew it… I had said when he talked about his injury it didn't sound good…
Found an interesting page full of stats on NFL for every game. Here is the one for the Jets-Browns game.
From taking a sweep at the numbers, Cleveland has played [...]

Cleveland Preview

Hopping over to Huggy Bear's NFL Online Betting
site for the latest juice, I see that the Jets are a “pick em” on the
road to the Browns… to the Browns!!! Here is HB's appropriate
comment:
“That a 6-3 team is a pick vs a 3-6 team speaks volumes as to parity in the NFL today”
As
indignant as I was [...]

Open Letter to a Cleveland Meathead

Old Wounds, New Salt

Rich Cimini muses about the good old days of the Jets, and reminds us of one of the most painful series of events in recent Jets history, the infamous “Fake Spike” game leading to the hiring of everyone's favorite coach, Rich Kotite.
To a man, the Jets say there won't be any lingering
psychological effects by the [...]

Questioning Hackett

The losing streak is in full swing and
and the rumblings are beginning. We are now starting to see more and
more unnnamed sources on quotes, and evidenced in today's piece from Ken Berger.

Week 10 Targets

Nine
different receivers got into the mix this week, less than 18% of all
passes targeted the backs. The player with the most targets, McCareins
with 6, was only able to make two catches, while Santana Moss was a
perfect 3 for 3 with 75 yards. Chrebet caught 3 balls, for only 19
yards, and Martin and Sowell only combined [...]

Andrea Adelson Needs a Spanking

Not to be the Keyshawn to Adelson’s Pam Oliver, but maybe Key was onto something when he had his say about Pam Oliver. I am sure that in the next few days, I will receive an email stating she said she would punch me in the mouth, but I am holding to the statement.
Is [...]
