Everyone’s talking about Pete Kendall’s summer of discontent, but no one’s talking about where he could end up. Here are some thoughts about teams that could use the big guy to help strengthen their offensive line. Please note, this is just guessing based on how awful a team’s line is or existing relationships that the [...]

Randy Lange writes that the Defense looked sharp today in practice, recording a number of takeaways and stops on the Jets offense which has been pushing the defense around somewhat. Sounds like Barrett and Harris both looked sharp.

Adrien Clarke, a 6-5 330lb mauling left guard, seems to be the replacement for 2006 starter Pete Kendall if his contract dispute is not resolved. If Clarke does assume the role of starting left guard, he will have big shoes to fill. While in college he played alongside a familiar face in center Nick Mangold [...]

A few days back, reader Tony asked about Jets throwback merchandise — I mentioned that I saw some cool shirts and stuff with the old Titans of New York logo on it at the merchandise tent at training camp, but (stupidly) didn’t buy it at the time, figuring that I’d order it online later. To [...]

Here are some quick hits of some progressing storylines from the weekend on Jets and training camp:
Pete Kendall is a Lame Duck - It’s only a matter of time before the two paths diverge. Although the situation isn’t optimal, I’m sure Tannenbaum is trying to find a home for the vet, but it will have [...]

Well it looks like Drack and Mangini are thinking along the same lines about Brad Smith’s roster status. Mangini said over the weekend that Brad Smith is listed as a QB for the Jets (even though the official website doesn’t list him there … heck Wadsworth is still a DE).
“It always changes. It was [...]

Long time contributor Drack will be giving us some quick hits from time to time throughout the season. Out there? Yes. Inflammatory? Yes. Solidly reasoned? Yes.
Just Not Jones-ing for Thomas

Revis isn’t in camp, and has been reported everywhere it’s over length.
The snag is reportedly in the length of the contract. Revis and Schwartz might be using the deals signed by the two players drafted around the former University of Pittsburgh star as a reference point. Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Lawrence Timmons, the 15th pick in [...]
