plaxico burress
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?
December 11, 2011Jets Cruise Past Kansas City But Lose Leonhard
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Regular Season
QB Mark Sanchez threw a couple of touchdown passes and ran for another two, as the New York Jets easily cruised past the Kansas City Chiefs, 37-10. It was the Gang Green's third win in a row but it might have come with a rather high price tag. S Jim Leonhard reportedly has a torn ligament in his right knee and will miss the remainder of the season. On the positive side, besides the win, the Jets now control their own playoff destiny, as Cincinnati, Oakland and Tennessee all lost today.

Rookie NT Kenrick Ellis will start in place of injured DT Mike DeVito who will miss Sunday's game due to a knee injury he suffered last week against the Buffalo Bills. Rookie WR Jeremy Kerley will be back in action returning punts and playing in the slot receiver position. RB LaDainian Tomlinson will be back as well and could also see his role expanded. OL Vlad Ducasse (knee), who was limited in Wednesday and Thursday practice sessions, was a full participant in this morning's session and is listed as "probable."
November 27, 2011Jets Stay Alive In Playoff Race As Sanchez Throws 4 TDs
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Regular Season
QB Mark Sanchez threw a career-high four touchdown passes, including the winning score to WR Santonio Holmes, as he overcame his second quarter interception and led the Gang Green to a 28-24 comeback win against the Buffalo Bills. Sanchez might have been erratic at times, throwing into double and triple coverage, but when the game was on the line, he pulled himself together and orchestrated a 12-play game-winning drive that went for 77 yards. This was surely a morale booster for the Jets' signal caller that hopefully will help the Gang Green turn this season around, as they pretty much have to win all of their remaining games.

LB David Harris was named AFC Defensive Player of Week 9. Last Sunday he registered five tackles, one interception and one pass defensed in the Jets’ 27-11 win at Buffalo. Harris registered his second interception of the season and the fourth of his career when he picked off QB Ryan Fitzpatrick in the second quarter at the Jets’ 49-yard line. In his fifth season from Michigan, this is Harris’ second career Defensive Player of the Week Award. Harris previously won the award in 2009 (Week 1). He joins CB Antonio Cromartie (Week 2) and CB Darrelle Revis (Week 6) as the third Jet to win Defensive Player of the Week this season.

If this was a sign of the things to come, then sky is the limit for this Jets team, as they finally played a complete game on offense, defense and special teams. Going into the game against the Bills as 2.5-point underdogs, the Gang Green left their opponents absolutely no chances, totally dominating the contest from start to finish. The Bills, who had one of the best offensive units in the league, were limited to under 300 total yards and under 100 yards on the ground.

This was another must win for the Gang Green and they delivered again, overcoming an 11-point deficit and rediscovering their running game en route to a 27-21 win against the San Diego Chargers. WR Plaxico Burress also rediscovered his touchdown catching abilities, scoring three times for the second time in his career. RB Shonn Greene finally ran for over 100 yards and the defense finally looked like it should have all season.

For the second week in a row C Nick Mangold is listed as "questionable" on the final injury report. This time, however, Rex Ryan said that Mangold's questionable status is just a formality and he's expected to suit up against the New England Patriots. LB Calvin Pace was limited in practice but is listed as "probable" and expected to play as well.
September 12, 2011Jets Come From Behind To Beat Dallas, 27-24
posted by: Site Admin | 2 comments | Jets Regular Season
This was definitely a season opener to remember, as the New York Jets snatched an improbable 27-24 win against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night after trailing by 14 points in the final quarter. First, WR Plaxico Burress, who had zero catches in the first half, caught a 26-yard touchdown pass from QB Mark Sanchez, cutting Dallas' lead to 7. Then, RB Joe McKnight blocked a punt that was taken back for a touchdown by СB Isaiah Trufant, tying the game. Finally, PK Nick Folk, a former Cowboy, booted a 50-yard field goal to win the game for New York on such an emotional day that marked the 10th Anniversary of 9/11.

WR Plaxico Burress took the field for the first time in 3 years and instantly silenced his doubters tonight. Gang Green's risky free agent acquisition started opposite of WR Santonio Holmes and caught 3 passes for 66 yards, including a 26-yard touchdown pass from QB Mark Sanchez in the final minute of the first half. The Jets went to Burress right from the start, as Sanchez connected with him on the first play from scrimmage for 20 yards.

All-Pro C Nick Mangold suffered a stinger during yeseterday's practice session and is day-to-day. He said he expected to play in preseason opener against the Texans on Monday. During the live, goal-line portion of practice, Mangold fell to the ground after a play in which RB Shonn Greene dove over the top of the pile. He was down on hands and knees for a couple of minutes but then walked off the field under his own power.
August 7, 2011Plaxico Ready For Practice, Shaun Ellis Signs With Pats

WR Plaxico Burress seemed fine in the team's morning walkthrough and it looked like the recently signed wide receiver would be finally ready to practice. Burress sprained his left ankle, missing Thursday and Friday practice sessions (the Jets had a day off yesterday).
August 6, 2011Derrick Mason Chooses Jets
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Free Agent Signings
After a couple of days of deliberating between the Jets, Titans and Ravens, WR Derrick Mason chose to sign with the Gang Green. Mason, 37, who hasn't missed a game since 2002, will join WR Santonio Holmes and WR Plaxico Burress as the team's top 3 wide receivers. He was cut last week by the Ravens who wanted him back at a reduced price, but Mason decided to join Rex Ryan whom he knows since their days in Baltimore.
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.
August 4, 2011Plaxico Tweaks Ankle, Won't Practice
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Training Camp
Recently signed WR Plaxico Burress injured his ankle while working out independetly and will not practice this afternoon. He will most likely miss the next few days as well. The injury is not related to the chronic ankle problems that Burress had while playing for the New York Giants. WR Jerricho Cotchery, on the other hand, is very close to coming back after being put on PUP list. Although Cotchery's days with the Jets could be numbered, as the team is expected to sign veteran WR Derrick Mason.
August 3, 2011Jets Training Camp: First Open Practice
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Training Camp
The New York Jets conducted their first open practice session on Tuesday, drawing a crowd of almost 3,000 people. Because of the post lockout rules the players did not have pads on, while all recent free agent signings did not participate in the drills at all. This meant that both starting wide receivers, WR Santonio Holmes and WR Plaxico Burress, were out. Burress spent quite some time talking to Tom Moore, who was recently signed as a consultant. Holmes, on the other hand, seemed pretty bored most of the time. WR Jerricho Cotchery did not suit up either, as he's still recovering from last season't injury.
July 31, 2011Jets Land Burress, Heap Comes To Visit
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Free Agent Signings
The New York Jets signed WR Plaxico Burress who spent last two years in jail and hasn't played since 2008. It's a 1-year deal worth $3,017,000. Burress will turn 34 next month and it's a big question whether he can regain his form of 2007 when he scored 12 touchdowns for the Giants. This obviously means that WR Braylon Edwards will not be back with the Gang Green.
July 30, 2011Jets Bring Back Strickland, Might Get Plaxico Burress
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Free Agent Signings
The New York Jets signed CB Donald Strickland to a 1-year deal. Strickland played for the Gang Green in 2009, registering 26 tackles (22 solo), 2 pass defenses, 2 sacks and 1 forced fumble. Last season Strickland played for the Chargers who released him 2 days ago. Strickland, however, is no more than just a role player. So, the Jets still need a starter at CB, which means that they will still try to re-sign CB Antonio Cromartie or trade for CB Asante Samuel of the Philadelphia Eagles.
