Ken Berger (and the rest of the beaters) reports this morning that Mr. Pennington is participating in this week's passing OTAs (I thought they were this weekend).
Pennington participated in 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills, taking snaps in live competition for the first time since his right shoulder was repaired for the second time in eight months [...]

Ray Mickens has returned to the Jets, after a season with the Browns. Although not the springiest of chickens, Mickens will add depth to the nickel package for the Jets and situationally as a corner. Bob Bullock makes a great point on his blog yesterday stating:
Mickens can still help out the Gang Green secondary, where [...]

To continue on, it was clear that you wanted to see Curtis as the All-Time Jets Running Back, and you made the right choice. Certainly there were players that had a spark, but over time, Curtis has proved out to be the best back out there… add to that the fact that he had been [...]

Found a clip of the NFL Network taking a look around the AFC East after the draft. Problem is, the analysis is done by Sterling Sharpe. All the same, it does give a sense as to some of the changes in the division.

Not a lot going on leading up to passing camp this weekend, but we will try to keep you entertained. Look for some Audibles, All-Time Jet voting, some opinion pieces, Bent's final NFLEL wrapup and some more film.
Boomer will have an interview on MSG with Chad Pennington Wednesday at 10:30PM. Check out part of the [...]

Vinnie Iyer, an editor for the Sporting News addresses the Jets switch to the 3-4 and asks some good questions. It does also bear to state that Iyer thought the Jets and Vikings were going to SuperBowl XL, too…
Riffing off of Iyer, Bob Bullock over at Jetstream considers the Jets' possible switch to the 3-4 [...]

Well it's back to Europe, for another installment of the web's exclusive NFL Europe Recap by a Brit who loves the Jets, Mets, Celtics and Tottenham Hotspur (they had a decent showing this year in the Premiere, no?) Anyway, somethimes I like to post an initial picture that has something to do with Europe and [...]

I love using video clips, so I will try to incorporate something regularly on Fridays. If you happen to find anything good, let me know at thejetsblog@gmail.com, as I will be glad to share.
I thought some footage of Patrick Ramsey would be worth watching (with Foo Fighters overlaid audio). Certainly it isn't a full [...]

Here are some links to articles that might be of interest:
Jeb Bush denies interest in presiding over the NFL, stating that timing isn't right (as if that means anything). Think we fans might have dodged a bullet there, but what worries me more is that the NFL sought him out… Now I am pretty conservative [...]

As quickly as 'Aka Mania!' has come to thejetsblog.com, it has been put on a shelf just as fast. Apparently, Jason Akermanis of the AFL's Brisbane Lions has stated that he would not attend the camp the Jets invited him to this summer, as it comes during the middle of his team's season.
That being said, [...]
Ahh springtime. The warmer days, plants turning green, and delighting in misery of owning the crosstown rivals. Sure Bent and I can see eye-to-eye when it comes to football, but we sometimes disagree, most notably in our baseball allegiances. I, an avid Pinstriper, while he, a Mets Maniac. A few days a year, we set [...]

There have been a few good articles from Pat Kirwan recently, though I would share them.
To help us football junkies, Pat Kirwan's hooks us up with his first of three trivia quizzes. From Kirwan “A word of caution — if you cheat when you play golf by yourself, you are probably going to cheat and [...]

So I saw an article on RealFootball365 about Doug Jolley being the key to the Jets' offense. The author makes many points, but I think this one is the most telling:
A 50-catch season from Jolley would do wonders for the Jets' offense as a whole. He can and should be an easy check-down for any [...]

Who's up for some more Brad Smith film? I know I have been craving some more Brad Smith video footage, and I found a some on the Mizzou Football website mixing an interview with some of his career highlights. The more I see, the more I like.

Cimini wrote a Jets team report last week for The Sporting News. There is a lot of information that has already been covered here (Mangold at Guard, no base defense, etc.) but Cimini did have some interesting nuggets, starting with the backfield:
Right now, the Jets are overcrowded, with Curtis Martin, Derrick Blaylock, Cedric Houston and [...]
