Marty Monhinweg is a man who has his work cut out for him.  The second year offensive coordinator isn’t just trying to get the Jets offense heading in the right direction after an up and down season from rookie Geno Smith, but he’s trying to reverse a long term trend. Over the past 10 years the Jets offense… Read more

Today the Jets confirmed what many media outlets have speculated on for just over a week in regard to rookie wide receiver Jalen Saunders.  After experiencing what the Jets, up until now, would only refer to as a “medical event” has now been reported as a seizure.

One of my earliest memories as a Jets fan was watching long-time place-kicker Pat Leahy waving goodbye to  fans from a car that circled the field as he requested one more “J-E-T-S” chant from the crowd.  As the story goes, Leahy had to wait a little longer than he expected as Fireman Ed was indisposed at… Read more

During his tenure as Jets Head Coach, Rex Ryan has used multiple fronts and exotic blitz packages to create pressure on opposing quarterbacks.  Using defensive backs and linebackers from every angle has generated some improbable victories, but when those blitzes get picked up, it’s led to some very forgettable losses.  With a stout front-3 of Muhammad… Read more

Every year at the outset of the NFL pre-season, fans hold their collective breath and wait to see what late-round pick or undrafted free-agent will step up and earn a spot on the final roster.  In the salary cap era, “bang for your buck” players are a must have.  Late round contributors who don’t demand… Read more

Despite coming away from Cincinnati with their second consecutive preseason win, Jets fans didn’t have a whole lot to be excited about.  After being pummeled by the Bengals starters for a little over a quarter, the Jets made a run against the Bengals’ second and third-string units to pull out a 25-17 win.  While QB Geno… Read more
