Mangini announced in Day 4's press conference that Phil Silva is gone along with some others but Monsanto Pope has had to leave camp.
Pope has left camp… what?? What are all the area skank strip clubs supposed to do for celebrity endorsements? (Type Monsanto Pope into google image search to understand what I am talking [...]

As a lowly blog about the Jets, we are calling all readers to submit their thoughts from attending training camp. R in CT threw down the proverbial gauntlet [...]

After months of thinking and discussing how things would go, some things have gone off according to plan, while some others have suprised us. Here is a list of a few developing storylines as camp progresses. The sage Allen Iverson would remind us, “we in here talking about practice.”

2 of 3 Jets players put on the PUP shelf on the eve of camp have been cleared to practice. (Center Trey Teague will likely remain on the PUP for a few more weeks.)
Justin McCareins and Rayshun Reed both passed a “test” early morning yesterday and joined the team shortly there after. Exactly which “test” [...]

Okay, I'm not a professional photographer by any means, so I apologize
if these shots aren't things of technical beauty–I won't be confused
with Annie Leibovitz or Ansel Adams any time soon, that's for sure. I
took 60-something pictures and these 19 or so are the better ones.
And I'll try to keep from making this sound like looking [...]

In his Day 1 training camp diary, our man R_in_CT referenced comments made by Rich Cimini concerning Don Majkowski, the former Packers QB. Beat reporters have invoked Majkowski’s name of late because he suffered a rotator cuff injury at the height of his career…and never recovered.
Cimini told some of Majkowski’s story in a recent article, [...]

The official first day of this season under Eric Mangini was an
interesting one, that's for sure. I was at Hofstra in the heat and
humidity on Friday morning, and for reasons which will be disclosed
later, I was also “inside the ropes” with media access for the full 2
hours and 25 minutes of the first practice, and [...]

I was very impressed with the standard of last week's “homework”. Lots of creativity shown, there. We are clearly gearing up for the season.
For this week's task, I thought I would set up something much more difficult. This week's task is to design a novelty play. If one of us can come up with something [...]

It's here, it's finally here!
I am not going to go off the deep end and say that the first day of training camp is like Christmas morning (I will save that for Week 1) but the opening of training camp brings me hope that football talk will pick up, meaningless games aren't far behind that, [...]

What with all the uncertainty that the Jets have had to deal with at Quartberback, I didn't know if you had seen the news that there are actually FIVE quarterbacks looking to compete for the starting job heading into camp today…

Think your boss is harassing you? How about this tidbit from Andrea Adelson of the AP:
Mangini is a taskmaster and disciplinarian, and modeling his regime after Patriots coach Bill Belichick. He quizzes players in the hallway on formations and schemes. He wants them all to be accountable not just for their own play, but for [...]

I just saw on the SportsSpyder wire that the Jets have put Teague (no suprise), but also Curtis Martin and Justin McCareins on the PUP list.
What the heck is a PUP? Check Wikipedia's PUP entry:
A rule in the NFL which allows teams to designate players as “Physically Unable to Perform” or “PUP”. Once they are [...]

Now this is the access that I have been looking for! Cimini just dropped a post on his blog that Ferguson basically ran away from the media. Writes Cimini:
It made for one of the most bizarre moments I've witnessed in 18 years of covering the Jets: Rookie D'Brickashaw Ferguson, whose new contract makes him a [...]

Mangold - CheckClemens - Check
The two last rooks deals are done and I just came up with a new nickname to boot! Which I think has t-shirt potential written all over it.
