Link: Blog-O-Spherical

A quick trip around the Jets blogosphere leaves us with some good bits to read, mostly because I am lazy and took an hour making gourmet chicken salad this morning before work… don't ask… I don't know why either…

The Sports Blog - Our buddy Matt Cerrone writes his thoughts on gunning for draft picks… hey, [...]

Opinion: Jetstream's Questions

Questions surround the Jets, and Bob Bullock posted some great ones on his Jetstream blog on Sunday after the game. I liked Bob's idea, so I am riffing off it… and I would encourage you all to do the same if you like.
1) Who's the starting quarterback in 2006?
It really depends on what tack the [...]

Link: Make a Wish!

Happy birthday to Brooks Bollinger who turns 26 today… make a wish!

All the kiddies want to know… did you wish you had those last seven throws back? :D
Technorati : Brooks Bollinger, New York Jets Del.icio.us : Brooks Bollinger, New York Jets Ice Rocket : Brooks Bollinger, New York Jets

Link: Jets Truth & Rumors

The Jets seem to be all over SI's Truth & Rumors page today… but mostly it's pub that we have already addressed here.
The only real bit of news is that Herm has said he wants to stay with the Jets as long as he can.
Technorati : Herman Edwards, New York Jets [...]

News: Lucas - "It's good when you can get a team to quit on you."

Another player, Jason Fabini has been put on the injured reserve
yesterday.. so what else is new? This latest news now makes the
offensive lineup 6 players different than it did Week 1, with four of
five starters on the line having changed or swapped positions.
See a graphic showing all the new starters (in yellow on the second [...]

Opinion: Leinart Land

OK, it's time to get some things out on the table.
Once the Jets
lost Pennington and Fiedler, it was clear to most anyone that the
season was over. Any hope I extended was more for “entertainment value”
from the Jets after the Jacksonville game. After yesterday's game, I
firmly believe that this team can't even play spoiler, which makes [...]

Final Score: Panthers 30 Jets 3

What really can you say about this game? I wanted Bollinger for weeks, and sweet merciful crap did we get him yesterday. I guess all that fancy schmancy stat breakdown stuff I did last week showed why he doesn't get many reps in the first half of the game…
I will do some more in-depth stuff [...]

Game Thread: Jets at Panthers

Although the Panthers are a few teammates short, what with a few cheerleaders short on their roster…
Anyway, for the remainder of the game, here is the place to post your thoughts!

News: Martin's Knee Ligament was "Partially Torn" Week 2

Cimini reports this morning that Martin had ligament damage in Week 2, and there were times when the Jets didn't know if Martin could realistically go, day of game…
Said Drack on this topic:

Martin's
fortitude should be admired, no question. But Edwards seems so caught
up in Martin admiration that it's affecting good judgement.

Sadly,
I have resigned myself long [...]

Buzz: More on Edwards' Departure

For what it's worth, here are some more “sources” on Edwards possible exodus to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Link: Abraham - "I did it for y'all"

More on the powwow…
With the Jets playing one of their toughest opponents of the year, it's good to know the defense is amped up for the game.
“I just pretty much told the team that I came back simply just for y'all,” Abraham said yesterday. “I didn't come back for the organization, I didn't come [...]

Buzz: Kaibosh on Carroll

Remember that article the other week that I pointed out about someone thinking Pete Carroll was going back to the pros?
Don't expect that to happen any time soon.
According to the article this blog references, after getting bounced by the Jets and the Pats, he cracked a book, got a purpose to his life, ran off [...]

Link: Parcells Vestiges Dwindling

Gerald Eskenazi of the Times looks at the dwindling number of players from the Parcells era Jets, now still starting with the team.
Eskenazi also makes a point that I often gloss over:

… this will be the 22nd time in 10 seasons a change has been made at the [quarterback] position.
Testaverde is the only Jets quarterback [...]

Opinion: No-No T.O.

I wish I had called it. Shockingly, every story in sports, even if it
doesn't have anything to do with New York (or shouldn't deal with New
York), quickly becomes the domain of New York columnists.
I'm
not saying that they ought not comment on things outside the boroughs,
but like always, somehow they make it a New York issue. [...]

Buzz: Lange's thoughts on what he saw

Lange writes today on the reaction of some Jets (like his dear friend, Vinny) to Chrebet's injury this past weekend in the Chargers game, but is kind enough to give me his thoughts on the matter.
