Yeah, But Can He Play Left Guard?

In other cutdown news, it looks as if the Jaguars will part ways with QB Byron Leftwich, either via trade or pure release.

Time for KVO to go?

The first axe has fallen, as according to NFL.com’s Adam Schefter, the Jets will be releasing defensive tackle Kimo von Oehloffen. (Last item on the page; thanks to Will for the link.)

Name That Squad – You Da Turk!

It’s now time for the most anticipated event of the pre-season: TJB’s Annual Name-that-Squad Contest!

I’ll be watching (well, listening) though…to chat, [...]

TJB Scout: Philadelphia Eagles

Time for the annual preseason Jets-Eagles matchup, which this year should be even less of a contest because the teams meet up in Week 6 of the regular season (Oct. 14) at the Meadowlands in a game that should extra confusing because the team in green on the field won’t be the Jets (they’ll be [...]
