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…
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 – It was a hot and humid day as the Jets kicked off their 2014 minicamp, the players made sure they were well hydrated as they drank a bit more water than normal during warmups and it’s a good thing they did because of all the pushups they had to do. The…
It’s officially the worst time of the year. Not only are we without any football, but we are just days away from the beginning of free agency which means all we have to digest is a bunch of unsubstantiated wild speculation about possible free agency acquisitions and potential draft picks.

CHARLOTTE, NC – The Jets fell flat in all three phases against Carolina on Sunday, losing 30-20 to the Panthers and all but putting to bed any remaining playoff hopes. The Jets remained competitive until the fourth quarter, but had major breakdowns on offense (Geno Smith pick-six), defense (Cam Newton-DeAngelo Williams 72-yard screen pass touchdown)…
FLORHAM PARK, NJ – Rex Ryan was noncommittal about the future of Stephen Hill on Wednesday after the wide receiver didn’t practice again with a knee injury. “I don’t know. We’ll see. Obviously we’d like to get him out here,” said Ryan, who was unsure about whether Hill will return at all this season. “If…
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ – There were 10 minutes left in Sunday’s game against the Oakland Raiders when Geno Smith sensed the pocket collapsing and took off.
