anyone who is a season ticket holder and cares to sell some games, pm me.

So the Jets are having open practices Saturday (10:30 AM), Wednesday and Thursday (11:30 AM) at the Florham Park facility, I figured I'd try and check it out since it's about ten minutes from my house and as far as I know these are the first actual open practices - aside from minicamps - they've had there in two years.

Of course the Jets being the Jets there apparently are:

-No bleachers at all to sit in
-No public bathrooms or water fountains

A multi-million dollar facility with all the comforts in the world for the players (that they never use) and they don't even have basic stuff for the fans?! Bite me Woody.

I heard Mangini was the one who didn't want the bleachers. Running his paranoid super tight ship...there wouldn't be any open practices and thus no use for the public bathrooms or water fountains. I guess they didn't get around to installing them yet.

jets vs ravens tonight.. i cant wait to watch (i missed most of the last game b/c the met game was on at the same time).

mark sanchez gets the start.

Jets vs Ravens tonight.. i cant wait.

...tough lose. (24-23) 'RR went for the 2'pt-cnv at the end of the game (which I agree with) but lost the gamble. As always, Leon was the bright spot of the night. 80 yards, (on 8 touches) a touchdown, and a 47 yard kick return. Looked great for the 1st half.

*With the Giants up next, and the Eagles after that... it'd be nice to win a game before the season starts. Yes I know it's early... yes I know it's BS... yeah, I know it's preseason... but preseason or not, you don't want to go 0-4.

The Lions went 4-0 in the pre-season last year.

The Lions went 4-0 in the preseason last year.

I think the loses in preseason, weigh more than the victories imo. Pulling out wins late throughout the game, only samples that teams depth... when many of those players won't even make the 52 cut. A lose is more glaring because what you're basically saying is, we don't even have the depth.
In other words; I think going 4-0 can be more overlooked (and deservingly so) -vs- going 0-4 means there's more work to be done than originally projected.

I agree, to a certain extent... I view pre-season games as nothing more than glorified scrimmages. It's more important to get a look at rookies and young guys and get them game experience. Wins and losses don't mean a whole lot, but I get what you're saying.

jets vs giants tonight. will be watching. GO JETS.

hopefully sanchez gets off to a strong start this time..

Saw a lot of nice things from Sanchez...I like his escapability. He seems like a QB who can make things happen on the run and thrives on broken plays.

Love the way Bart Scott humiliated Jacobs.

#22; Danny Woodhead

*2 TD's in 3 games... and 221 yards on 39 carries. (5.6 yrd per'carry avg) I know Jones, Leon, & Greene are all shoe-in's.... but how do you cut a guy with numbers like that? (preseason regardless) I'd say cut Caulcrick if you can somehow get Woodhead to play FB. It'd be a shame to see this kid go.

- - - - - - - - -
BTW, hasn't Clemens looked good?!?! -6 Comp... 14 Attempts... 2 picks. 42 Cmp%. Just 1 TD pass in 3 games. Aint' Kellen Great?!

--EDIT-- The Hired-Gun (slinger) got tapped $10,000.00.... Genius move by Childress calling a play like that for a 40 year old to pull.

Can't help but think of Wayne Chrebet when I see somebody like Danny Woodhead. But he is frightningly undersized and I'm not sure he'd be able to run inside against a first team defense.

But he has speed, so there are ways to utilize him. Special teams...gadget plays.

[nmigliore]

Woodhead didn't get cut according to Kerry Rhodes on twitter...

Edited by nmigliore, 05 September 2009 - 03:17 PM.

[Beezer34]

Rhodes would be coorectaamundo! The Jets kept Woodhead.

www.newyorkjets.com/news/articles/jets-final-cuts

As I predicted yesterday, they released Caulcrick. (who was our 2nd string backup FB behind Richardson) This means are RB's are: Jones, Leon, Greene, and Woodhead. That's 4 too many for one position. With Caulcrick being cut, I could see either Greene or Woodhead being moved to FB. (probably Woodhead, as he will only be brought in for trickplays, and really won't have to scrimmage in a TRUE fullback form)
No other real surprises except for Marcus Henry. I had thought we were going to really beef up our receivers, especially w/o Coles, and seemingly no replacement for Laveranues in sight. I wanted to retain Potter, really like what I saw in him but meh... whatever.

[Beezer34]

--------EDIT--------

They actually cut Brock Christopher aswell. I missed that the first time I read it. So that leaves only Richardson, as they cut both backup FB's.

Woodhead waived

Reggie Hodges too...but he was just terrible.

Also, from Kerry Rhodes twitter

jet fans expect a big announcement coming soon lol!

The Jets just traded for Kevin O'Connell from Detroit (former Patriot, Lions picked him up on waivers) so some are speculating Clemens will be headed to Denver with a 1st rounder for Marshall. If not, well at least we have some inside info on the Pats from O'Connell.

-Also, from Kerry Rhodes twitter...

Cryptic-City @ KR's Twitter. "Wow" is all I can say. -wow, wow, wow, wow, wow!!! So it looks like I'll be waiting in front of ESPN's website tommorrow like a dog in heat.

...also very upset over Woodhead being released. Hopefully Danny makes the Practice'Squad, and remains within the organization.

Although I am very happy we retained Izzo however. Yes I know he's 35, but he's a big-name veteran, who adds alot of credentials. Anytime you can add a 3x Superbowl Champion who's a multi-ProBowler, you do it. He is a workhorse, who never get's hurt. The last time he missed a game due to injury, was the 1998 season. Since 1999 Izzo's has played the entire season... all 16 games... every single year! Playing behind Harris & Scott, he surely compliments our LB's, and adds instant depth.

*Sidenote: ~Would NOT be a bit surprised (with the way Lito can draw the flags) to see the Jets sign Ty Law for a 3rd outing. Sheppard takes alot of penalties... and with Law's ties with Revis & Tannenbaum, I'd expect to see it happen sometime mid-season.

jets played very impressively today, especially on defense (and without calvin pace and shaun ellis!) .. mark sanchez looked very confident, especially when the running game wasn't working early on..

and now next week its the Pats at home (is it just me, or do we always seem to open the season vs them?).. ehh, maybe we'll beat them in our house for a change...

Edited by nmigliore, 13 September 2009 - 09:58 PM.

Great game. Sanchez look very good. 272 yards, 1 TD pass, but most of all... the victory. No points allowed by our defense either. (and that's without Pace & Ellis) Nice to start the season off on the right foot.
That being said... when the time of possession is 40 -to- 20 (and you're able to rush for 200 yards) you make life very easy for your quarterback. I'm not taking away from Sanchez, I just want to see more than 1 game. It's only Week 1, let's see if he can do it again.
GO JETS!
