The Initial Assessment: Hostile Territory

The Jets need this win this week plain and simple.

It’s Not Just the Coverage, It’s the Blitzing Too

Just a reminder that with Wes Welker healthy, things will be different for the Jets. Not just because Tom Brady has another receiver, but because it will help him avoid the big hits from the Jets blitzers.

Film Room: Young SkyWelker

The good souls (who are Giants fans, mind you) over at Global Sports Fraternity made a video of … well … it’s hard to explain.

That’s so fake. Like Rex even wears a whistle.
