There’s a lot of blame to go around for the offense’s woes this season. Mark Sanchez is usually more than willing to accept responsibility and the blame for these issues. But how much of the blame should be placed on Mark?
After a couple of rather hectic weeks of free agency, the Jets find themselves in a bit of trouble at one position where they were among the strongest in the NFL last season - wide receiver. Only one member of last season's "Flight Boys" is still with the Jets, Santonio Holmes. The other two, Braylon Edwards and Jerricho Cotchery, are gone and replaced with big question marks or not replaced at all.
July 30, 2011Eric Smith Stays With Gang Green
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Free Agent Signings
According to several reports, S Eric Smith has agreed to terms on a 3-year deal with the New York Jets. Keeping Smith was very important for the Jets who already failed to secure the services of CB Nnamdi Asomugha and lost WR/KR Brad Smith, a very important special team player for the Gang Green. Special teams coordinator Mike Westhoff reached out to Eric Smith several times since the free-agency negotiating period opened.

According to various sources, WR/KR Brad Smith, who played an essential role in the Jets' wildcat offense, is going to sign a contract with the Buffalo Bills. The Jets did make a late offer to Smith, but the Bills reportedly offered more in guaranteed money.
July 25, 2011Jets To Let Cromartie, Brad Smith and Eric Smith Leave
posted by: Site Admin | 9 comments | Jets Preseason
According to some rumors, the Jets will not compete for the services of WR/KR Brad Smith, who's going to become an unrestricted free agent once the lockout is officially over. CB Antonio Cromartie, who recently stated that the Gang Green will receive "no hometown discount" if they try to re-sign him, will be let go as well. The team also will not re-sign S Eric Smith.
The New York Jets have announced that this year's training camp, if there's one, won't be held at SUNY Cortland. Instead, the team will hold training camp at their facility in Florham Park. "This was not an easy decision, but one we felt we needed to make in order to give us the best chance to win", said GM Mike Tannenbaum.
March 1, 2011Jets Tender Cromartie And Holmes, Tomlinson Stays
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Free Agent Signings
According to various sources, the New York Jets placed highest-level tenders (1st and 3rd rounders) on WR Santonio Holmes and CB Antonio Cromartie. While the moves temporarily secure the players' rights, it's unclear what their status will be under a new CBA. The current CBA expires Thursday night. If unrestricted free agency reverts to four years if and when a new CBA is reached, these tenders would be moot. But with the agreement set to expire, and no new labor deal yet in place, teams have to cover their bases.
January 16, 2011Brad Smith Inactive Today, Coleman Will Play
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Playoffs
The New York Jets will be without WR/KR Brad Smith today, as the Gang Green's versatile weapon is inactive today due to an injury suffered last week against the Colts. This is a major loss, as besides losing their star kickoff returner, the Jets also lost their wildcard formation. CB Antonio Cromartie will replace Smith as the kickoff return man. CB Drew Coleman, who was questionable for this game, is active. The other inactive players are FB John Conner, DE Vernon Gholston, DT Jarron Gilbert, TE Matt Mulligan, TE Jeff Cumberland and DT Marcus Dixon. QB Kellen Clemens is #3 emergency quarterback.
April 13, 2010Clemens Signs Tender, Washington Keeps Waiting
posted by: Site Admin | 2 comments | Jets Free Agent Signings
Restricted free agent QB Kellen Clemens signed his tender contract offer from the Jets on Monday afternoon. Clemens received a 3rd round tender despite being drafted in the 2nd round, as the Jets used 2nd round tenders on RB Leon Washington and WR Brad Smith. Clemens will make $1.176M this season.
According to ESPN.com, the New York Jets released CB Lito Sheppard, who was signed as a free agent before the last season. Sheppard was due a $10M roster bonus, so this move was pretty much expected, considering that Sheppard had a subpar season at best.
March 3, 2010Jets Tender Three Players. Interested In Cromartie
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Free Agent Signings
The New York Jets have placed a second-round tender on RB Leon Washington, which is basically a 1-year deal worth $1.759M that gives the Jets the right of first refusal. If another team makes a bid to sign Washington and the Jets decline to match the offer, the Gang Green would receive a second-round pick.

The New York Jets have declared QB Kevin O'Connell, CB Donald Strickland, RB Chauncey Washington, LB Ryan Fowler, OG Matt Slauson, DE Ropati Pitoitua and LB Marques Murrell as inactive for today's Wild Card Game against the Cincinnati Bengals. QB Eric Ainge is #3 emergency quarterback.

The New York Jets are 30 minutes away from making the playoffs, as they lead 27-0 at halftime against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Jets have had the ball for almost 25 minutes and already gained 190 rushing yards against the defense that had been allowing less than 90 per game.

The Gang Green will see the Bengals again next Saturday, as they shut Cincinnati out tonight in what possibly was the last game played in the Giants Stadium. Many had predicted that the Jets would win, but not many thought that New York would simply annihilate the Bengals, 37-0.
December 27, 2009Jets Beat Colts To Stay Alive In Playoff Race

The New York Jets beat the previously undefeated Indianapolis Colts to keep their playoff hopes alive, 29-15. The Jets now control their own destiny, as Baltimore, Miami and Jacksonville all lost earlier today. All the Gang Green have to do is defeat the Cincinnati Bengals in the regular season finale next Sunday.
November 22, 2009Jets Getting Spanked By Pats
posted by: Site Admin | 2 comments | Jets Regular Season
The Jets are trailing 24-7 at halftime after what was probably the worst half played by the Gang Green this season. The Jets have gained only 34 yards thus far, while New England has racked up 272 yards against Rex Ryan's heralded defensive unit. New York has only 2 first downs and QB Mark Sanchez has thrown an equal number of completed passes and interceptions - two apiece. The Jets rookie is 2 of 9 for 15 yards, 0 TD, 2 INT.
CB Lito Sheppard will not start on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars despite being able to fully participate in all practice sessions this week. Head coach Rex Ryan said that "Even though he’s practiced fully, I don’t think Lito’s all the way back yet. We’ll evaluate and see how much he plays. I think we’ll start Dwight Lowery." So, CB Dwight Lowery, who has started in 4 games this season, will start again against Jacksonville.
LB Vernon Gholston will most likely not play on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars as he's missed his second straight practice today with a hamstring injury, which he suffered during Monday's walkthrough practice. Gholston, who was picked 6th overall in 2008, has been a major disappointment on the field. He is yet to register a sack in the NFL and has been a non-factor in limited action on defense and special teams this season despite starting in the position vacated by LB Calvin Pace who was suspended for the first four games of the season. WR Brad Smith (quadriceps) was very limited in practice, and he looks to be a long shot for Sunday.
November 1, 2009Jets Declare Inactives For Week 8
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Regular Season
The New York Jets have declared CB Ahmad Carroll, WR Brad Smith, QB Erik Ainge, QB Kevin O'Connell, CB Lito Sheppard, LB Marques Murrell, CB Marquice Cole, OG Matthew Slauson inactive for Week 8. Erik Ainge will be #3 emergency quarterback.
All Jets players practiced for the second consecutive day this morning, although WR David Clowney (ankle), WR Jerricho Cotchery (hamstring), DE Shaun Ellis (knee, ankle), LB Bart Scott (knee), CB Lito Sheppard (quadriceps), WR Brad Smith (quadriceps) were limited. All are expected to play on Sunday against Miami with the exception of Sheppard, who will most likely be a game-time decision.
WR Jerricho Cotchery (hamstring), WR Brad Smith (quadriceps) and CB Lito Sheppard (quadriceps) will all miss Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders. CB Donald Strickland (ankle) and OT Damien Woody (knee, foot) are both listed as "questionable" and expected to play. Strickland will finally see action after missing the previous four games due to an ankle injury.
October 23, 2009Cotchery And Smith Will Not Play Against Raiders
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Injuries
Both WR Jerricho Cotchery and WR Brad Smith will miss Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders due to hamstring and quadriceps injuries respectively. While Cotchery will most likely be ready for the Dolphins next week, Brad Smith could be out next week as well, according to head coach Rex Ryan. WR David Clowney will make his second start in a row, replacing Cotchery in the starting lineup. CB Lito Sheppard, who returned last week after missing the previous three games and reaggravated his quadriceps injury, will not play on Sunday as well.
October 22, 2009Jets Want Simpler Offense For Sanchez
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Regular Season
Head coach Rex Ryan has indicated that the Jets will try to simplify the offensive system for rookie QB Mark Sanchez who threw 5 interceptions in the loss against the Buffalo Bills. After winning the Rookie of the Week award in each of the first three weeks of regular season, Sanchez first threw 3 interceptions in Week 4 against the Saints and then followed with the total disaster last Sunday. He now leads the league with 10 interceptions.
Both WR Jerricho Cotchery and WR Brad Smith, who missed Sunday's game against the Bills, returned to practice this morning. Cotchery was out with a hamstring injury, while Smith missed last game due to a quadriceps injury. CB Lito Sheppard, however, did not practice. Sheppard was back in action on Sunday after missing three previous games. He started but could not finish the game, as he seemed to have reaggravated his quadriceps injury.
October 17, 2009Jets Sign Danny Woodhead To Active Roster
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Regular Season
Earlier today the New York Jets signed RB/WR Danny Woodhead to the 53-man roster and basically confirmed that both WR Jerricho Cotchery and WR Brad Smith would not play tomorrow against the Buffalo Bills. The Gang Green also released DT Howard Green to make room for Woodhead.
It's now almost a certainty that WR Jerricho Cotchery will miss Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills with a hamstring injury. Cotchery sat out his second day of practice in a row this morning. WR Brad Smith (quad) also did not practice for the second straight day and is doubtful to play on Sunday. WR David Clowney was getting reps with the first team along with WR Braylon Edwards. TE Dustin Keller was lining up wide in three receiver sets.
WR Jerricho Cotchery sat out this morning's practice session with a hamstring injury. He was listed as "questionable" for the game against Miami but did play and caught one pass for 4 yards. This time, however, it looks more like Cotchery will not suit up against the Bills.
August 25, 2009The Morning After: Jets vs. Ravens
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Preseason
Another preseason game is in the bag, but the Jets' quarterback situation seems to be as inconclusive as it was before preseason even began. Both QB Mark Sanchez and QB Kellen Clemens struggled last night, both threw interceptions returned for touchdowns. Sanchez went 3 of 8 for 43 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT. Clemens was 5 of 10 for 60 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT.
August 20, 2009Sanchez Bounces Back In Morning Session
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Training Camp
Rookie QB Mark Sanchez had a good practice session this morning completing 7 of 14 passes with 2 touchdowns, both TDs to WR Brad Smith. QB Kellen Clemens took a step back, completing 4 of 7 with 2 interceptions. So, it looks like Sanchez is back on top again but the question is for how long, as both have been really inconsistent. The Monday Night game against the Ravens should help determine the starter.
The sun finally showed up in the afternoon as Gang Green took the field (no pads this time) for the second time today. There were also noticeably more fans, but still far from what I saw last summer at Hofstra. Nevertheless, the crowd did seem more lively and involved than they had been during the rainy morning session.
If you have been a fan of this team long enough, today's loss against the Raiders really should not come as a big surprise. This is exactly the kind of game that the New York Jets have always had a tendency of losing. The Same Old Jets!!!
