posted by: Site Admin | 1 comments | Jets Preseason
The New York Jets opened preseason in Houston last night, losing to the Texans, 20-16. The first team offense was on the field for only two series, while the starting defense played for the entire first quarter. QB Mark Sanchez, who did not have WR Plaxico Burress to throw to, completed 6 of 7 passes for 43 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT. WR Santonio Holmes caught both passes thrown to him for a total of 17 yards. Recently signed WR Derrick Mason seemed to have already blended into the offense - 3 receptions for 21 yards. RB Shonn Greene had 5 carries for 32 yards, including a 19-yard run.
The NFL announced its preseason schedule Tuesday - assuming the lockout is over in time for games to be played in August. The New York Jets will begin their preseason on the road against the Houston Texans. The game will be televised in primetime on Monday, Aug. 15 on ESPN.
The National Football League has announced that the New York Jets will face Saint Louis, Baltimore, NY Giants and Philadelphia in preseason. The matchup against head coach Rex Ryan's former team, the Baltimore Ravens, will be nationally televised by ESPN on August 24th.
