October 25, 2009Jets Dominate First Half, Lose Leon Washington
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Regular Season
The New York Jets seem to be back on track, as they are leading the Raiders 24-0 at halftime. The Gang Green powerful rushing attack has already gained 145 yards on the ground, while the defense has generated 3 turnovers (2 interceptions and 1 fumble). The only negative is what seemed to be a season ending injury to RB Leon Washington who was carted off in the first quarter. Rookie RB Shonn Greene took over for Washington and gained 63 yards on 9 carries. Greene also scored his first NFL touchdown.
If losing to the Buffalo Bills wasn't bad enough for the Gang Green, then losing NT Kris Jenkins for the entire season just made everything even worse. Jenkins was placed on season-ending injured reserve Monday with a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee.
October 13, 2009Jets Embarrass Themselves In Miami

What an embarrassing loss! One of the most disgusting losses in recent memory... Just when we, Jets fans, began believing in Rex Ryan's defense, they produced a total stinker in Miami, losing 27-31 to the Dolphins. No, it wasn't QB Mark Sanchez making mistakes that cost us this game, it wasn't fumbles or interceptions, it was the heralded Jets' defense that, we thought, was one of the best in the league. Boy, were we wrong! This defense got manhandled by Miami's wildcat offense and their 2nd year quarterback with basically no pro experience.
The New York Jets took a 13-10 lead right before halftime as PK Jay Feely converted his 22nd field goal attempt in a row. Recently acquired WR Braylon Edwards scored the only Jet's touchdown - a 3-yard pass from QB Mark Sanchez.

posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Regular Season
The New York Jets defeated the Tennessee Titans, 24-17, and improved to 3-0, marking their best start since 2004 when the Gang Green began the season 5-0. Unlike in the previous two games, however, there were quite a few alarming signs that definitely should be addressed this week in preparation for the New Orleans Saints. While the Jets were clear winners against Houston and New England, let's be honest and admit that yesterday's game could have easily gone either way.

The first week of the 2009 NFL season is over and the early betting lines for Week 2 are out. The New England Patriots are favored over the New York Jets by 5 points in what is going to be the first real test of Rex Ryan's team.

NT Kris Jenkins has already stated that the Gang Green are "going to be playing this game like it's the Super Bowl." Head coach Rex Ryan, meanwhile, stated that the Pats have the advantage at quarterback and head coach, but it remains to be seen who has the better team.

The New York Jets have eight players on the official injury report. NT Kris Jenkins (back), DT Sione Pouha (ankle), WR Wallace Wright (hamstring) are all listed as questionable. QB Kellen Clemens (right elbow), DE Mike Devito (hamstring), RB Shonn Greene (rib), LB Bryan Thomas (ankle), LB Jamaal Westerman (quadricep) are listed as probable.

Over six thousand fans came out to Hofstra University this evening to see the Jets' training camp practice session at their former facility.

If this was another boxing round between QB Kellen Clemens and QB Mark Sabchez, it would have been scored 10-8 (usual score if there's a knockdown) in favor of Sanchez. Clemens threw 3 interceptions this morning and raised even more doubts about his place on the team. Fourth year in the league and basically no progress gotta tell you something!
NT Kris Jenkins was injured on a running play, falling awkwarly and then limping off the field. It appeared that his left ankle was injured but he was able to put weight on in. Jenkins then spent some time on the trainers' table and left for the locker room. Without him in the lineup the struggling running attack instanlty came alive as RB Thomas Jones began easily penetrating through the defense.
