CB Antonio Cromartie and S LaRon Landry will represent the New York Jets at the Pro Bowl, as they both made the AFC squad as backups. Following the season-ending injury to CB Darrelle Revis, Cromartie became the Jets' premier shutdown corner and has performed admirably. He's defended 13 passes, intercepted 3 and returned one of his interceptions for a touchdown so far this season.

C Nick Mangold, OT D'Brickashaw Ferguson and CB Darrelle Revis were voted to the 2011 Pro Bowl. Mangold and Revis were selected as starters, while Ferguson is a backup. This is the third straight Pro Bowl selection for both Mangold and Revis. It's the second straight for Ferguson, who was originally an alternate in 2010 but added to the roster later.

Earlier today LB/DE Jason Taylor was given a tour of the Jets facility and introduced to some of his potential teammates. LB Calvin Pace and DE Shaun Ellis both expressed their desire to see Taylor as in green and white. "I think it’s be good for us," Pace said. "It's always good to add another body to the mix. His track record speaks for itself so it’s positive."

While the battle between QB Mark Sanchez and QB Kellen Clemens is still going on, head coach Rex Ryan shed some light yesterday on when it could be over. Ryan said that the competition could be over before the preseason game against the New York Giants on August 29th. Neither quarterback has looked impressive thus far. Rookie Sanchez is obviously still learning the system, while experienced Clemens has been having an up and down training camp.
