Stop me if you heard this before: the New York Jets are in the midst of a rebuild. Sound familiar? As you prepare for another season of vanilla football at a half-empty stadium, you do have something to look forward to as the NFL Draft approaches Thursday evening. For this day represents a time in the sport…
Florham Park, NJ- The Jets were driving down field, trailing 31-24, faced with a fourth-and-four with 5:06 left in the game when it happened. The crowd at Lambeau Field was jumping, making all sorts of noise, the ball was snapped and Geno Smith dropped back and threw beautiful pass to Jermey Kerley in the end…
Florham Park, NJ – I’m not a big fan of stats. Stats can be so misleading. You know the phrase, ‘men lie, women lie, numbers don’t.’ Well yeah, numbers don’t lie but they also don’t always tell the full story and people love to use numbers to lie. So by extension numbers do in fact…
Florham Park, NJ – The only time you might not want to face a rookie quarterback is when the other option had a burger called the “Pick Six” named after him (“pick any six toppings for your burger”). The Raiders have elected to start rookie Derek Carr this week against the Jets instead of the…
On Monday Rex Ryan said Stephen Hill will play in the final preseason game against the Eagles on Thursday night.

John Idzik confirmed with reporters that Patterson got in touch with the team, through agent Drew Rosenhaus, and meet with them at their Florham Park facilities last night. This is obviously a weird situation,…
The 2014 New York Jets are filled with interesting position battles. Whether it’s the battle for number two receiver, the number two corner, the battle for (possibly) both guard spots or the (not really a battle) battle for starting quarterback. But one positional battle no one seems to really be focusing on is at tight…
We’re three weeks away from the first day of training camp and during these three weeks we will look to examine the depth chart at each position (with the exception of special teams). We’ll look at who is locked into a starting spot, likely to get/keep a starting spot, who will just miss the starting…
With so much attention on the quarterback competition, the new group of receivers and a talented but inexperienced secondary it seems like this tight end group has been getting overlooked. Of course the rookie tight end, Jace Amaro, has received plenty of attention, even if his performance took a slight dip between OTA’s and minicamp…
Florham Park, NJ – Hockey season has ended and the World Cup is in the middle of group stages, but ex-Jet defensive coordinator, Mike Pettine, just managed to pull off one of the most unique and oddly impressive hat tricks ever by managing to anger Rex Ryan, Bill Belichick and Nick Saban all in one…
