Have We The Holy Trinity?

With the Jets having changed in three key coaching postions with Mangini at HC, Sutton at DC (although there is nothing official listing on the Jets' site) and Schottenheimer at OC… what do you think of the “new look” Jets staff?

Obviously it is early to tell anything, but I do think that the [...]

Dude, Your Mom is Hot… Shut Up Ted…

Hubba hubba.
Word is out on Justin McCareins' mom… not only is she a former model with a Ph.D. in psychology AND a J.D. from Northwestern, but now her words are a part of a collaborative effort of NFL mothers, a book called “Moms Know Best.”
The book, contains a collection of family recipes, casual entertaining ideas, [...]

News: Brian Schottenheimer Becomes Next O.C.

The Jets have announced the signing of Brian Schottenheimer, the 32 year old son of the illustrious Marty Schottenheimer.
Young Schott has been the Chargers' QB Coach most recently and has helped to develop Drew Brees into his current splendor. The ESPN report states that he has a knack for understanding the passing game (as a [...]

Buzz: You Got Another Thing Comin'

“The circle is now complete. When I met you I was but the learner. Now, *I* am the master.” - Darth Vader

Want to know why the Heimerdinger thing took so long? Might have something to do with a turf war… Check what Peter King is hearing about the goings on inside the Jets' organization:
3. I [...]

Senior Bowl Goodies

I was unable to see the Senior Bowl last weekend, but was curious to know what people who saw the game thought of it.
I understand that the practices can be more imporant than the actual performances in the game, so please feel free to share any thoughts on the Senior Bowl (Week) here.

No Suprises Here

(EDITED)
So the Lions hired Henderson, and the Broncos hired Heimerdinger.
At this point, there is no news out of Hempstead on the offensive front, but I am guessing that someone will get the nod this week. Some of the names thrown around last week by the press:

Pat Shurmur, Eagles' quarterbacks coach
Chris Palmer, is in the works [...]

Meeting of the Minds: The Defensive Backs

We are coming down to the end here. In our clandestine meeting on the
Crimean Sea last week, Bent and Bassett met to discuss the future of the free
world, and the Jets. Like every good summit, the fun must end soon.  With only
two groups left to look at, (DBs and ST) we are rounding out the [...]

Jets Seriously Considering Vanderbilt's Jay Cutler?

Dave Hutchinson reports that a source close to the Jets says Bradway and Mangini are seriously considering trading down and drafting Jay Cutler to groom him long term for the team.
I can't tell whether this is true or not, but let's just say I am a little skeptical. After Bradway joked about setting up a [...]

A Diamond in the Rough?

Scout.com reports that the Jets might be a bit dejected by not getting Steve Farichild (I have a friend with the same name) and that Bradway was talking to a Hofstra coach about Willie Colon, a Senior Guard. Although scout.com reports that he is a hot commodity… I can't seem to find all that much [...]

Meeting of the Minds: The Linebackers

Churchill & FDR, Thatcher
& Reagan, Bush & Blair, and now… Bent & Bassett.
That's
right. In a clandestine meeting on the Crimean Sea last week, Bent and Bassett
met to discuss the future of the free world, and the Jets. Today we continue our
discussion of the defense by looking at the linbackers.
Have
fun.

Bassett: how about the Jets’ line
backing [...]

Link: Michael Smith's take on Edwardsgate

Michael Smith (not our friend, MDS) of ESPN.com makes some very good points about the minority candidate rule, and how things are progressing in the NFL.
Since Edwards was the only black coach to get a job from a vacancy this offseason, Smith focuses on Edwards' experience, and echoes a point that I made while this [...]

No Yanky My Wanky, Dinger Need Job

Just thought it would be funny to send off the Dinger with a little fun… the classic line from Sixteen Candles, click to hear it.
So long Dinger, we hardly knew ye… cantankerous old buzzard…

Big Day for our lil Jonnie…

Vilma had a big BIG day today…

… he was on the brainbusting Wheel of Fortune's “The U” episode with Santana Moss & Reggie Wayne!
To learn more about Vilma's charity, check out his charity and bio on the NFLPA site and see his video interview (QT | Real) regarding the show.
Oh yeah, he was announced to [...]

More Coaches in the Churn

It appears that Offensive Line Coach Doug Marrone wants to get out of the organization too.  If this statement is true… can you blame him?
“They told (Marrone) they'd let him out if he
found a replacement,” one person said.
I'm really trying my best to imagine the conversation that (allegedly) took place… this is almost comical, [...]

Motown Donnie

Nothing official yet, but it sounds as if Donnie Henderson will be announced as the Defensive Coordinator for Detroit soon. The funniest part about the article is that the reports states that the Jets had a 4-10 record in 2005… I guess two of the losses didn't count. I guess all that 'fire Millen' wind [...]
