Reggie BushMario WilliamsMatt LeinartVince YoungD’Brickashaw Ferguson
Knowing that three of those players will be taken by the time you pick … who do you choose? It looks likely to be between one [...]

Although we happy few, we band of brothers have been cautiously optimistic about the Jets, it seems now that the media has been alerted to the fact that it is now OK to be positive about the Jets. Check out the Post today. Randy Cross has a good quote:
You know they are going to have [...]

In team games, individual awards don’t mean much. Ask Alex Rodriguez.But, its worth noting that the NFL has issued 12 individual awards so far this year in the American Football Conference anyway:
9 for players of the week, and 3 for players of the month of September.
Of these 12, the Jets have claimed 3: Chad Pennington [...]
Just like the title asks, if you are the Jets, knowing what the team’s strengths and deficiencies are, how do you stop the Peyton Manning and the Colts?
Just to cheat a little, here some ideas to get you going. Right now, the Colts are ranked 5th in total offensive YPG (#24 in rush, #2 in [...]

Cimini thinks Pete Kendall is set to return.
Power Ranking Check Current Rank: ESPN 19, CBS 20, Fox 19, F.O. 23 : Interesting how they have climbed from basically the 30s to low 20s in three weeks. Watch now as the go back to mid to low 20s over the next two weeks if they lose [...]

So, I mentioned on AOL Fanhouse the other day to look out for Kerry Rhodes, to see if he got any national attention … the first step of that was answered today. This from wire services.
Rhodes amassed 10 tackles, two sacks and forced a pair of fumbles to help the Jets to a 28-20 win [...]
After reporting on the Jets cutting three players (see my Fanhouse post) Cimini notes in the same artice that Leon Washington might be the best fit for the Jets in trying to run against the Colts in a talk with an unnamed scout:
“Leon will be quicker to the line of scrimmage than those other guys,” [...]

My wife watches two channels: TLC (she loves organizing) and FoodNetwork (she’s learning about cooking).
So last night as she is flipping between the two channels she watches, Rachel Ray is in Boston (about two years ago) talking about restaurants in the city. The next thing I know, I see Matt Chatham and a UMass baller [...]

Another week, another win. This is getting easy. I like how everyone is jumping on the “Jets might not be as bad as we thought” bandwagon, despite the fact that we’ve only beaten the Titans and Bills and lost to the otherwise unimpressive Pats. Oh, well. Once again, we didn’t get the game live over [...]

Kerry Rhodes answered questions after the Jets’ game yesterday. Got to credit Rhodes for trying to be funny, but I think for a while there the reporters were confused by his jokes. Just like Franklin the Puppet (headphones at work!), this comedian’s work just isn’t appreciated by his audience …
As I sit and watch the pregame to the Falcons / Saints game, I am struck by how overwhelmingly difficult the past year has been, not only for the City of New Orleans, but for the whole area. If you are feeling tugged at your heart to donate, here are some excellent resources.

Peter King writes an excellent MMQB article about New Orleans and the post-Katrina Saints. Typically, King knee-jerks a little and throws the Jets (#14) in front of the Patriots (#15) in his “fine fifteen.”
Commendably, Cimini made a number of predictions … most of which are wrong.
Tom Rock thinks Buffalo gameday traffic sucks and the nearby [...]
