March 13, 2013Jets Lose Shonn Greene to Titans, Keller Next?
posted by: Site Admin | 1 comments | Jets Free Agent Signings
RB Shonn Greene, who spent his entire 4-year career with the New York Jets, has reportedly agreed to a 3-year $10M contract with the Tennessee Titans. The Jets drafted him in the 3rd round of the 2009 draft but he never really became a legitimate number one back to replace RB Thomas Jones. Greene rushed for 1,054 and 1,063 yards the last two seasons but hardly any showed any playmaking ability, averaging just 4.2 yards per carry over the course of his NFL career.
December 23, 2012McElroy Gets Sacked 11 Times, As Jets Fall To Chargers
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Regular Season
It all started pretty well for QB Greg McElroy, who made his first NFL start against the Chargers this afternoon. McElroy led the Jets to two early scoring drives, as the Gang Green took a 14-7 lead. Unfortunately, it all went downhill from there on. McElroy's indecisiveness and offensive line's ineptitude led to 11 sacks for the Chargers, who rattled the first time starter and took over the game in the second half.
December 10, 2012Running Game Helps Jets Overpower Jaguars
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Regular Season
The New York Jets made it two in a row on Sunday, as they rushed for over 160 yards on the way to a 17-10 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars. This was exactly what the Jets needed to take pressure off struggling QB Mark Sanchez. Sanchez once again committed a turnover when he fumbled in the first half, but that's pretty much where his mistakes ended. He was 12 of 19 for 111 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT. The Gang Green really didn't need more from him, as RB Shonn Greene and RB Bilal Powell ran for 78 and 77 yards respectively and each scored a touchdown.
December 2, 2012McElroy Sparks Jets Comeback Against Arizona
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Regular Season
The struggling New York Jets needed a spark and they got it when Rex Ryan finally did what he should have done weeks ago, as he benched QB Mark Sanchez and replaced him with QB Greg McElroy. The move paid off instantly when McElroy led the Gang Green to the game winning score on the first possession of his NFL career. He didn't put up impressive numbers, finishing the game 5 of 7 for 29 yards, 1 TD, but his arrival reenergized the seemingly lifeless team and put the fans back into the game.
November 20, 2012Jets Snap Losing Streak, Beat Rams 27-13
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Regular Season
The New York Jets showed some signs of life un Sunday, as they earned a road win against the St. Louis Rams, 27-13. Just when most experts and fans, myself included, had written them off, QB Mark Sanchez and Co. finally played a mistake free game. Granted, it was against the lowly Rams, but considering the team's disarray just a week ago, this was definitely a step in the right direction.
Once a bust is always a bust. LB Aaron Maybin, a former Buffalo first round pick who was deemed a bust before signing with the New York Jets last season and leading the team with six sacks, was cut by the Gang Green earlier today. After seemingly redeeming himself last season, Maybin struggled immensely in this year's campaign, recording just one tackle in eight games. He was inactive on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks.
RB Shonn Greene ran for 161 yards and 3 touchdowns, QB Mark Sanchez played a mistake free game, as the New York Jets routed the Indianapolis Colts, 35-9, and moved back up to .500. The defense came to play as well, creating four turnovers and limiting the Colts to just 27% on third downs and only 41 rushing yards. These seemed like the throwback Jets' of Rex Ryan's first two seasons in New York - a powerful running attack with a serviceable quarterback whose job was to make plays from time to time and avoid mistakes.
September 24, 2012Jets Pull Out Win In Miami, Lose Revis For Season

In the end the New York Jets pulled out an overtime win in Miami, 23-20, unfortunately that was the only positive they could take out of this game. Both defense and offense struggled tremendously throughout the contest and to make things even worse - the Gang Green lost CB Darrelle Revis, arguably their best player, for the season with a torn ACL.
December 11, 2011McKnight And Ellis Inactive Against Kansas City
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Regular Season
RB/KR Joe McKnight, who leads the league in kickoff returns, and rookie NT Kenrick Ellis are among inactives for today's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. McKnight was listed as "questionable" for this game after injuring his elbow last Sunday. Ellis is a healthy scratch. He did not play well last week and DT Ropati Pitoitua will start in place of DT Mike DeVito who's out due to a knee injury.

The Jets' inactives are RB Bilal Powell, C Colin Baxter, DL Garrett McIntyre, TE Josh Baker, DL Kenrick Ellis, QB Kevin O'Connell and WR Logan Payne.

September 1, 2011Jets Backups Lose To Eagles, 24-14
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Preseason
The Jets had all of their starters, except for rookie DE Muhammad Wilkerson, sit out tonight's game against the Philadelphia Eagles, as the coaching staff wanted to see their backups give it one last try to make the squad. QB Greg McElroy started the game and was expected to play at least three quarters but got sidelined with a thumb injury, which appeared to be rather serious. He will have an MRI tomorrow. While in the game, McElroy was just 3 of 6 for 29 yards.
July 29, 2011Asomugha Saga Seems To Be Finally Over
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Free Agent Signings
According to a report on the NFL Network, the New York Jets are out of the race to sign CB Nnamdi Asomugha. So, it looks like the 3-day saga is finally over and the Gang Green can move on to address their other needs. There's still an unresolved situation with the other starting wide receiver. The Jets could also upgrade their linebackers and defensive line. One player, especially a cornerback, no matter how good he is, will not win a championship. It would also be pretty stupid to have 20% of the entire salary cap space tied up to two cornerbacks.
After selecting two defensive players on the first two days of the 2011 NFL Draft, the New York Jets went offense in rounds four and five. They selected RB Bilal Powell from Louisville in round 4 (#126 overall), and then traded up with Philadelphia to select WR Jeremy Kerley from TCU in round 5 (#153 overall). In order to get Kerley, the Gang Green gave up their 5th round pick (#161 overall) and 6th round pick (#194 overall) in exchange for the Eagles' 5th round pick (#153 overall) and 7th round pick (#227 overall).
