Thursday Roundup

There are a few things that we’ve missed over the past day or so.

  1. In and Out — In addition to the move to bring on Alvin Banks at RB to replace Danny Ware, the Jets also released WR Evan Prall to sign Shaine Smith, former Hofstra player. Billed as tall (6′2″ yes!) and fast (4.62? hmm … ) he’s the right type of player for the Jets’ needs, but he is really raw.
  2. Few Good Men — It sounds as if the Jets have been busy with the shuffling involving WRs due to both Coles and Cotch’s health. Coles might be worse off than before the Dolphins game, and Cotch hasn’t even been seen in the facility. That means that Smith & McCareins are likely the starters, while CJ Davis and Wallace Wright will see more time in spreads, leaving Ball, Clowney or Shaine Smith (likely Clowney) for special teams.
  3. Pearls to Pigs — Chiefs fans aren’t thrilled at the idea of Pennington for a fifth rounder and think Huard could be better … do I even need to address this?
  4. Gross has Landed  –  Andrew  Gross  is working now for the Bergen Record, and even wrote a story about Hollywood, Ironhead Abram and Baby Lockdown meeting at Rhodes’ place to go over gamefilm.  I see Gross wrote some other articles on other sports, wonder how this will work with him and Pelzman …
  5. Hollywood Spotted with Cleaver Producer –  Check out ESPN’s  The Hook Up video clip on the Jets’ page with a sitdown between Kerry Rhodes and Michael Imperioli.

  1. Ball, Clowney & Shaine Smith can’t play on special teams if they’re not on the active roster. None of them can get on to the active roster unless the Jets cut or IR another player to make room.

  2. they’ve been pretty consistent in activating 5 receivers … we’ll see.
