For those of us who have been following the Jets since the mid to late 80’s like myself, it’s fair to say that the high and low points for the franchise may very well have happened in a span of three short years.  The 1996 Jets managed to eek out just one victory, a week… Read more

Having cut their roster down to the league mandated 75 players, one name that may fans were surprised to see on the list was WR/KR Jacoby Ford.  Ford was signed as a free-agent after a productive career as a kick-return with the Oakland Raiders.  With Ford being let go, Head Coach Rex Ryan announced that… Read more

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

As D’Brickashaw Ferguson prepares to enter his ninth season at LT for the Jets, new arrival Breno Giacomini is settling in on the right side. The Jets brought in Giacomini from the defending world champion Seattle Seahawks to replace the departed Austin Howard, who was lured away from the Jets with a 5-year $30 millon dollar contract… Read more

After being hired as General Manager of the New York Jets, John Idzik stressed the importance of competition. He assured Jets fans that there would be “a constant influx” of it with him at the helm. Players would be forced to earn their jobs based on performance instead of salary or draft position. For the… Read more
