August 17, 2011Jets To Sign Buffalo's Bust Aaron Maybin
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Free Agent Signings
The New York Jets are reportedly expected to sign LB Aaron Maybin, a former #11 overall draft pick by the Buffalo Bills who failed to record a single sack in his two seasons in the NFL. Maybin was cut Monday after two awful seasons that made him one of the biggest draft busts in recent years. Former Jets LB Vernon Gholston, of course, is an even bigger bust, as he was drafted at #6 overall and did not record a sack in 3 seasons in the NFL.
March 2, 2011Jets Officially Let Gholston Go, Hartsock Cut As Well
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Player Release
LB/DE Vernon Gholston, arguably the biggest bust in the Jets' history, has been released by the Gang Green. Gholston, 24, was selected at #6 overall in the 2008 NFL Draft and expected to become the dominant pass-rusher that the Jets had not had since they traded DE John Abraham to the Falcons. It didn't take long, however, to realize that Gholston just wasn't the player the Jets hoped he would be. Despite being a projected started in the 2008 season, Gholston did not start a single game and recorded just 13 tackles (8 solo). The following two seasons weren't much better, as Vernon still hasn't registered a single sack in the NFL.

The New York Jets have declared FB John Conner, DE Vernon Gholston, DT Jarron Gilbert, TE Matthew Mulligan, TE Jeff Cumberland, WR Patrick Turner, DL Marcus Dixon and QB Kellen Clemens inactive for the AFC Championship Game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

According to various sources, LB Jason Taylor has agreed in principle to sign a contract with the New York Jets, the team he so often bad mouthed in the past. ESPN's Adam Schefter writes it's a 2-year deal worth $13.75M, but the second year is irrelevant. So, it's really a 1-year, $3.75M contract.
November 22, 2009Jets Declare Inactives For Week 11, Leonhard Will Start

The New York Jets have declared QB Erik Ainge, CB/KR Justin Miller, LB Vernon Gholston, LB Ryan Fowler, LB Kenwin Cummings, OG Matt Slauson and DE Ropati Pitoitua and QB Kevin O'Connell inactive for today's game against the New England Patriots. Kevin O'Connell is #3 emergency quarterback as he was in the first game against New England in Week 2.
November 20, 2009Leonhard Limited In Practice, Upgraded To Questionable
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Injuries
S Jim Leonhard, who broke his finger last Sunday and had surgery earlier this week, was back in practice this morning and is listed questionable for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. His availability for the game will be a game-time decision. LB Vernon Gholston (hamstring) missed all practice sessions this week and is out.
November 18, 2009Leonhard Misses Practice, Will Not Play On Sunday
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Injuries
S Jim Leonhard, who had surgery on his broken thumb earlier this week, missed today's practice and will not play on Sunday against the New England Patriots. Leonhard was injured when he tried to tackle Jags running back Maurice Jones-Drew on his 33-yard first-quarter touchdown in the Jets’ 24-22 loss last Sunday. He left the game briefly but returned and finished the game, recording seven tackles and a sack. S Eric Smith is expected to start in his place. Smith played an important role in the Week 2 win over the Patriots, blitzing Tom Brady a total of 17 times.
November 15, 2009Jets Declare Inactives For Week 10
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Regular Season
The New York Jets have declared CB Ahmad Carroll, RB Danny Woodhead, QB Erik Ainge, CB Justin Miller, QB Kevin O'Connell, OG Matthew Slauson, LB Ryan Fowler, LB Vernon Gholston inactive for Week 10. Erik Ainge is #3 emergency quarterback.
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.
September 13, 2009Jets Defense Dominates First Half Against Houston
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Regular Season
The Jets defense looked exactly the way it had been advertised in the first half against the Houston Texans. Bart Scott and Co. completely dominated the 3rd best offense, limiting them to just 104 yards and 5 first downs. Constant pressure, gang tackling and aggressive playcalling seemed to catch the Texans off guard, as their offensive stars were almost completely shut down in the first half. All Pro WR Andre Johnson was limited to just one catch for 7 yards.
For the second game in a row QB Mark Sanchez started slowly and then noticeably picked it up as the game progressed. Following a few empty possessions to start the half, Sanchez found his rhythm and led the Jets on a 62-yard drive that culminated in a 31-yard touchdown pass to WR Chansi Stuckey.
All eyes will be on QB Mark Sanchez tonight as he'll make his first start since being officially named the Jets' starting quarterback. Cross-town rivals, the New York Giants, will represent a formidable test for Sanchez, who struggled against the Ravens' starting defense on Monday. The Giants will be coming off a 17-3 loss to the Chicago Bears and will be obviously looking for some kind of redemption.
Rookie RB Shonn Greene will miss the upcoming game against the New York Giants and possibly the final preseason game against the Eagles as well. Greene suffered a rib injury in the game against the Ravens where he carried the ball twice for a total of 5 yards and also caught a 15-yard pass. Green had also gotten banged up on several occasions during training camp, so the question might be asked whether the rookie can stay healthy at all... So, don't expect RB Thomas Jones to get traded anytime soon.
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 24, 2009Both Quarterbacks Struggle Against Ravens
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Preseason
Both QB Mark Sanchez and QB Kellen Clemens threw interceptions in the first half against the Baltimore Ravens. First, Sanchez found himself under pressure and forced a quick pass that was picked off and returned for a touchdown. Sanchez struggled for the most part of the first half, but did step up on his final drive, as he connected with RB Leon Washington for a 19-yard touchdown pass. Washington was outstanding in the first half - 48 yards on 8 carries, 35 yards on 2 receptions, 1TD.
The battle for the starting quarterback position will reach its peak tomorrow when the Jets take on head coach Rex Ryan's former team, the Baltimore Ravens. Ryan spent the past 10 years with the Ravens, including last year as the team’s assistant head coach and defensive coordinator.
Two former defensive coordinators will make their head coaching debuts tomorrow as Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo returns to Giants Stadium to face Rex Ryan's New York Jets. Rookie QB Mark Sanchez is also expected to make his much anticipated NFL debut. So, let's take a look at some of the upcoming position battles as well as just what players Jets' fans should be looking at closely...
