Rewind Dynasty - The New York Jets 2003 Dynasty

[mmarra82]

During the NFL off-season in 2003, I watched my hometown team, the New York Jets continue to make moves that made little or no sense to me and wondered what I would have done differently if I were in Terry Bradway and Herman Edward’s position?

So, I have gone back into the real player files and made some adjustments. It was interesting to see that some different personnel decisions would have affected many teams. In my dynasty I will take over following the 2002 season. I will tell you all about the changes that were made and how, in preparation for the 2003 season.

QB leads Jets to AFC East-clinching win vs. Packers

In the final four weeks of the regular season, Chad Pennington threw nine touchdowns without an interception. Al Bello/Getty Images
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- Had the New York Jets' fans broken into chants of "P-A-T-S," it wouldn't have been a shock.
In this wackiest of NFL seasons, the defending Super Bowl champions gave the Jets hope for the playoffs, and Chad Pennington made it reality.
New England had beaten Miami in overtime, and then it was the J-E-T-S' turn. Behind Pennington's four touchdown passes, they routed Green Bay 42-17 Sunday to win the AFC East. What Curtis Martin called a sinking ship two months ago is sailing into the NFL playoffs.
"This is the best moment of my career," Martin said. "We've been through so much, we were at the bottom of not only the division, but this league. We were becoming the laughingstock of the NFL. And to win the division, I tip my hat off to this team."
Not only did the Jets surge back from a 1-4 start, they knocked both their saviors, the Patriots, and the Dolphins from contention. New York (9-7) hosts Indianapolis next Saturday afternoon.
"We have a chance to be special and make history," said Pennington, who took over for Vinny Testaverde in Week 5 and went 8-4 as the starter. "We're playing pretty good football now, and the scary thing is, we can be even better."

The Packers (12-4) blew a chance for home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs; Philadelphia owns that. Green Bay even lost its first-round bye and will face Atlanta next Saturday night -- yes, at night -- in Lambeau Field.
"We can't make excuses," said Brett Favre, who went to the bench with 14 minutes remaining after Sam Garnes returned an interception 65 yards. "We knew what was at stake."
To win only their second NFL division title, the Jets needed several things to break their way. The Patriots took care of the biggest item, and Pennington did much of the rest.
The rout was far less dramatic than the New York Giants' 10-7 overtime victory over Philadelphia on the same field Saturday -- thanks greatly to the third-year quarterback.
Pennington had touchdown passes of 18 and 12 yards to Wayne Chrebet, who has gone from goat after a late fumble in a loss to Chicago to the hero. He has a career-high nine TDs this season.

"Today it was Wayne's turn, and he made some tremendous plays, especially after he caught the football," Pennington said.
Pennington also had a 1-yarder to Richie Anderson and a 13-yarder to Santana Moss. Martin ran for a 5-yard score, as well.
Whenever threatened by Green Bay, the spunky Jets responded. The Packers finished the first half with a touchdown drive that was vintage Favre, but the Jets moved 60 yards in six plays with the second-half kickoff, ending with Martin's touchdown run.
LaMont Jordan added a late 3-yard touchdown run.
Martin finished with 83 yards Sunday and 1,094 for the year, his eighth straight over 1,000.
Pennington, the AFC's most efficient passer, had a 134.7 rating for the game as the Jets beat Green Bay for the sixth straight time.
"He did not try to overdo things. He did not try to compete with Brett Favre," said head coach Herman Edwards, now 2-for-2 in getting the Jets into the postseason. "All he needed to do was be Chad Pennington, and that is good enough."
Green Bay's secondary struggled without injured Pro Bowl safety Darren Sharper. Several Jets receivers were wide open, including Anderson on his 1-yard pass for a 7-0 lead early in the second quarter.
That capped an 84-yard drive, including a 43-yard pass from Pennington to Laveranues Coles that was typical of how the Jets have taken off on offense behind Pennington.
The Packers got a 23-yard field goal from Ryan Longwell before the Jets made it 14-3 on Chrebet's first score.
But Green Bay closed to 14-10 at halftime on a 76-yard drive that took 95 seconds. Hanging tough in a collapsing pocket, Favre hit Terry Glenn for 21 yards, then rookie Javon Walker for 23 on fourth-and-10. Favre's bullet pass to the corner of the end zone hit Glenn perfectly with 5 seconds left in the half.
New York barely flinched.
"We showed what we are made of as a team," Pennington said. "We're still hungry."

Hempstead, New York

Following the Jets lost to the Raiders in the divisional round of the playoffs Sunday, Bradway has asked owner Woody Johnson for an extension. General Manager Terry Bradway is about to enter the last season of his contract and would like to security to know that he is in a long term position with the Jets.

Bradway has been the Jets GM for two seasons now, following the departure of Bill Parcells and Al Groh. Bradway is responsible for hiring Edwards and keeping the pieces in place to be in the playoffs the past two seasons.

Some executives around the league have questioned how Bradway has handled the draft. For example trading up to get Santana Moss in 2001, and the first round selection of Defensive End, Bryan Thomas in 2002, despite the fact that the Jets have Shaun Ellis and John Abraham.

It is believed that Bradway is looking for a 5 year deal.

Super Bowl XXXVII Boxscore | Super Bowl XXXVII Ticket and Ring

Jon Gruden celebrates as his Buccaneers wrap up a Super Bowl title in his first season in Tampa Bay.(AP)
The Buccaneers' defense intercepted five passes, three of which were returned for touchdowns, and recorded five sacks as Tampa Bay scored 34 unanswered points en route to its first Super Bowl victory.
Charles Woodson intercepted Brad Johnson three plays into the game to give Oakland the ball at the Buccaneers' 36. But Simeon Rice sacked Rich Gannon on third down to force the Raiders to settle for Sebastian Janikowski's 40-yard field goal.
On their next nine possessions, the Raiders registered just two first downs and did not run a play inside the Buccaneers' 40 as Tampa Bay scored the next 34 points. The Buccaneers answered Janikowski's field goal with Martin Gramatica's 31-yard boot to tie the game.
An interception by Dexter Jackson set up Gramatica's go-ahead field goal early in the second quarter. Midway through the second quarter, a 25-yard punt return by Karl Williams and a 19-yard run by Michael Pittman led to Mike Alstott's 2-yard touchdown run.
Late in the half, the Buccaneers drove 77 yards, aided by three defensive penalties and pass receptions of 16 and 12 yards by Alstott, to set up Brad Johnson's 5-yard touchdown pass to Keenan McCardell with 30 seconds left in the half, which gave Tampa Bay a 20-3 lead.
With their first possession of the second half, the Buccaneers put together a 14-play, 89-yard drive that consumed 7:52 and was culminated by Johnson's 8-yard scoring toss to McCardell. Two plays later, Dwight Smith intercepted Gannon's pass and returned it 44 yards for a touchdown and a 34-3 lead with 4:47 left in the third quarter. Tampa Bay scored four touchdowns in a span of 16:37.
Jerry Porter's 39-yard touchdown catch in the back of the end zone made it 34-9. Less than three minutes later, Tim Johnson blocked Tom Tupa's punt. Eric Johnson caught the ball and dove into the end zone for a touchdown to cut the deficit to 34-15 with 14:16 remaining.
The Buccaneers drove deep downfield again, but Tupa mishandled the snap for a field-goal attempt, allowing the Raiders to regain possession. Gannon hit Jerry Rice with a 48-yard touchdown pass with 6:06 left to trim the lead to 34-21.
A 9-yard pass by Johnson to Alstott on third-and-7 allowed Tampa Bay to take another two minutes off the clock before Tupa punted with 2:44 remaining.
On third-and-18 from the Raiders' 29, Derrick Brooks intercepted Gannon's pass and raced 44 yards down the left sideline for a touchdown with 1:18 remaining to give Tampa Bay a commanding 41-21 lead. Smith intercepted a tipped pass and returned it 50 yards for a touchdown with two seconds left to finish the scoring.
Johnson was 18 of 34 for 215 yards and two touchdowns, with one interception. Pittman had 29 carries for 124 yards. Gannon was 24 of 44 for 272 yards and two touchdowns, with a Super Bowl record five interceptions.
Jackson, who had the first two interceptions, one of which led to the go-ahead field goal, was named the game's most valuable player.

February 3, 2003

Owner Woody Johnson has told Terry Bradway’s agent, no deal. After a couple weeks of negotiations Johnson has ended talks stating that there will be no extension offered to Bradway at this time.

Sources have said that Bradway has made some calls looking to get out of his contract and pursue other offers.

[mmarra82]

February 9, 2003

Jets’ General Manager, Terry Bradway, yesterday ask to be let out of his contract. In the past month Bradway, has asked for an extension. In a stunning turn of events, Johnson denied him, and Bradway says he would like out of his contract. Perhaps others when hearing the news have contacted Bradway, and he would like to pursue other offers.

It is believed that Johnson will oblige Bradway’s request, and yet once again the Jets will be looking to assemble a new front office or simply appoint Edwards the position, something that would be a huge undertaking for a two-year coach. Edwards could not be reached for comment.

Terry Bradway Released!!

February 10, 2003

The New York Jets have announced a press conference for this afternoon, where it will be announced that the Jets and Terry Bradway will part ways. It is believed that the Jets have already interviewed Player Personnel Executive, Michael Marra for the General Manager position. Marra has been with the Jets organization since 1998 during the Parcells' era. Marra joined the Jets in 1998, as a scout and has worked his way through the organization to his current position that he was appointed to in 2001 under Bradway.

[mmarra82]

February 11, 2003

Coach Herman Edwards first comments regarding the movement in the Jets' front office can be said to be non-supportive. Edwards questioned the Jets position in loyalty towards its employees. Edwards who has three years left in his contract has been an advid supporter of Bradway, and the personnel moves he has made.

Edwards led the Jets to two consecutive playoff appearances in his first two seasons, and a regular season record of 19-13, and 1-2 in the playoffs. Edwards came over from the Buccanears, and is considered responsible for creating one of the strongest Defenses in the league during the past decade. However, the Jets D has struggled in Edwards two seasons here, as his system has yet to be fully implemented due to the fact that Defensive Coordinator, Teddy Cottrell believes the team should be running an aggressive 3-4 D. Under Parcells and Groh the Jets used a 3-4 D, that was aggressive and created using a lot of current personnel.

Hempstead, New York

Owner Woody Johnson announced his new General Manager, Michael Marra. Under Johnson the team has now gone through Groh and Bradway in just three years under Johnson's ownership. Johnson stated that he looks at the young Marra to lead his team for many years. It is believed that Johnson signed Marra to a five-year deal, what Bradway was looking for.

Marra stated that his first order of business was to meet with Coach Herman Edwards, who has expressed discontent about the change, and to evaluate personnel.

The team must address some player issues, the signing of Coles, Thomas, and Chad Morton were mentioned as key issues. Along with the decisions of some veterans, particularly Vinny Testaverde who lost his starting job to Pennington and LB's Mo Lewis and Marvin Jones. The team will also look at what to do in the up and coming draft as well as free agency that begins March 3rd.

[mmarra82]

Whenever things seem to be looking up for our beloved Jets, someone pulls the rug out from under us. The Jets looked to be heading in the right direction, only to have a squabble over money paint another dark cloud over the Jets Facility. Woody Johnson asked for a contract extension, and was shown the door, what's next?

The Jets have been searching for stability for years now, and it never seems to find them. Parcells was brough in to bring stability, and he did succeed. However, his two successors were gone in just one season (see Belichek in New England, and Groh in Virginia). Bradway and Edwards were brought in as the new regime, and Bradway is now gone, and it appears Edwards will be out as well. Maybe owner Woody Johnson needed to go back to the Parcells roots, promoting Michael Marra to GM, or perhaps maybe the team has shown yet again why it continues to douse the hopes of Jet fans.

[mmarra82]

February 16, 2003- As expected Edwards was fired along with Bradway after a dispute of how things are being done in the Front Office. The Jets are now the only team without a head coach at a critical moment of the season. The Scouting Combines begin in two days, and it appears that Marra will be heading to them without a coach.

The Jets are scheduling a press conference for later this afternoon.

[mmarra82]

As expected the Jets officially announced that Herman Edwards is no longer coach of the New York Jets.

Johnson opened up with the following statement, "At this time the New York Jets are saddened to announce that Herman Edwards will no longer be coaching the New York Jets. Herm grew frustrated with the way our front office changed and expressed his discontent to me. I asked Herman if he could see himself working through the situation, and he surprisingly informed me that he couldn't based on the current situation. With the change in the front office I informed Herm that we could not discuss negotiations this season, because I wanted to allow the new General Manager time to evaluate our situation. Understandably I could see why Herm grew disatified, he wanted to sign an extension to secure his future with the organization and that option just is not there right now. As tough as it is to let go of a coach after the success he has brought to the organization in just two short years, we will find a qualified replacement."

[StanGunner]

I hate the Jets but I like your story so far. Keep it going.

[mmarra82]

I am in the process of working the Real Player files in the CSV format. I have just finished changing some players draft positions, I have change the ratings for the rookies being drafted.

I changed the player ratings for the rookies being drafted using the following strategy.

I went and researched via internet the 2003 mock drafts and player ratings from various sites.

Then using these player rankings, the players were then compiled into the top 250 players that were drafted in 2003.

Using Jim's percentages for player ratings, these players were then adjusted accordingly. For example, Anquan Boldin was not rated that high in many of the pre draft writeups so he was assigned a player rating of 2. Carson Palmer was the only player who was rated a 9.

I attempted to keep team's 2003 draft decisions and player needs accordingly, afterall this is who these teams wanted. So, I tried to keep them there. I did add Henson to the player's file, and you will have to wait and see where he went, and to who.

Along with the draft I am working on all my decisions of how I want to handle the Jets' 2003 off-season. Decisions such as, keep Testaverde and or Mo Lewis or not. I have decided if I release a player, I will attempt to add their cap hit to my team. I figure the best way to do this would be to disperse there cap hit over a few players to keep my cap number high. I know that it is not the most accurate way, however, it is the only way I think I can do it.

I am also, researching available free agents in 2003. I know that last season the Jets needed to upgrade their Safety position, and did nothing to do so. I am not evaluation these players based on the player's ratings in the file, but based on the realistic performance and what they signed for. Once again, I do not feel it is realistic to look at the player's rating in the file. In the event I move Testaverde and Mo Lewis, I will have them signed with another team who was in need of filling that position.

Also, I know Manning was playing the last year of his contract for 2003, I am extending his contract. It seems that the Computer AI has let him become a free agent and he signed with another team, I feel that Manning would never be let go.

[mmarra82]

Later today, it is expected that the New York Jets will announce the hiring of its fourth coach in four seasons (Belichek, Groh, Edwards).

General Manager, Michael Marra has been working around the clock evaluating possible replacements as well as team personnel to prepare for the up and coming free agency period. The Jets have many issues to address and to add a change in the front office, and coaching staff only complicates matters.

The Jets are forced to deal with prominent Unrestricted Free Agents, OG Randy Thomas, K John Hall, and FB Richie Anderson. As well as Restricted Free Agents WR Laverneus Coles, and KR Chad Morton. GM Marra has already offered tender offers to Coles and Morton. In the event a team offers Coles a deal and the Jets do not match they would receive a 1st and 3rd round draft choice as compensation. They have tendered an offer to Morton that would bring them a 5th rounder.

Stay tune...

Jets Hire Ed McGregor of Michigan

February 24, 2003

The Jets have concluded a weeks worth of interviews and have hired Ed McGregor formerly of Michigan. It is believed the job came down to McGregor and Phillip Fulmner of Tennessee. It was believed that McGregor was at the top of Marra and Johnson’s list, they just needed to work out some of the details. The contract is believed to be in the area of $8 million over 3 seasons.
The Jets interviewed Michigan Head Football Coach, Ed McGregor three days ago, and the Jets were sure they had found their man, however Ed McGregor needed a couple of days to make his final decision. Ed McGregor contacted owner Woody Johnson late last night and informed his that he was excited about the opportunity to come to New York and coach the Jets. Johnson then got in touch with Marra, who was set to interview some assistants. Marra promptly canceled all appointments to prepare the stage for Ed McGregor.
Ed McGregor has led the University of Michigan to a bowl game in every season at the helm, and claimed the Big Ten title three of the past six seasons (1997, 1998, 2000). He became the first Wolverine coach to win four straight bowl games, beating Auburn 31-28 on New Year's Day at the 2001 Florida Citrus Bowl, after leading U-M to victories in the 1998 Rose, 1999 Citrus, and 2000 Orange Bowls.
McGregor led the 2002 team to Michigan's 28th consecutive bowl appearance; a 38-30 win over Florida in the Outback Bowl. The Wolverines compiled a 10-3 overall record and went 6-2 in the Big Ten. The finished the season ranked 9th in the AP poll.
McGregor 's 2001 squad posted an 8-4 overall mark and finished 6-2 in the conference. Highlights included handing Penn State its first home shutout in Joe Paterno's 36 year coaching career, registering a 20-0 victory in Happy Valley, and defeating eventual Big Ten champion Illinois 45-20.
During the 2000 campaign, his squad claimed a share of the school's 40th conference crown with a thrilling 38-26 victory over Ohio State in Columbus. The Wolverines posted a 9-3 overall record, with all three losses coming by a total of seven points. Michigan finished the year with a No. 10-ranking in the USA/ Today/ESPN poll and No. 1-ranking in the Associated Press poll after beating Auburn in the Florida Citrus Bowl.
McGregor led Michigan to a 10-2 record in 1999, including an exciting 35-34 overtime win against Alabama in the FedEx Orange Bowl (fifth different bowl game that Michigan has participated in during Carr's five season's at the helm). The Wolverines finished No. 5 in both the Associated Press and USA Today/ESPN Coaches' polls and tied for second in the Big Ten Conference with a 6-2 record.
His 1998 Michigan squad rebounded from an 0-2 start to finish 10-3 and claim the program's 39th Big Ten Conference title. They capped the season with a 45-31 victory over 11th-ranked Arkansas in the CompUSA Florida Citrus Bowl to ensure their second straight 10-win season. McGregor led Michigan to eight consecutive wins and finished the year with victories in 10 of the last 11 games.
Michigan captured a Big Ten title and Rose Bowl victory behind the leadership of in his McGregor third season at the helm. McGregor and the Wolverines proved that excellence is a product of dedication, teamwork, and execution; the direct result of which was Michigan's first National Title in 49 years (1948 season).
McGregor, who reached 25 wins faster than any current Big Ten coach, became just the second Big Ten coach to post an undefeated regular season record in just his third year of head coaching (Joe Paterno went 10-0 in 1968 but was not affiliated with the conference at that time). He also wrote himself into the NCAA record books, becoming just the seventh coach in NCAA history to have reached 29 wins in just three seasons of coaching.
Prior to being elevated to head coach, McGregor said he thought he held the greatest assistant coaching job in the country, serving 15 years under Bo Schembechler (1980-89) and Gary Moeller 94). McGregor joined Schembechler's staff in 1980 as defensive secondary coach, became defensive coordinator for eight and then moved into the position of assistant head final five years before becoming head coach.
McGregor moved into one of the nation's best head coaching positions on May 16, 1995 when then Michigan Director of Athletic Director Joe Roberson named him as the interim head coach of the Wolverines following the resignation of Moeller. On November 13 1995 McGregor had the "interim" title removed. He is the 17th football coach in school history, but only the 10th since Fielding Yost made his debut in 1901.
McGregor began his U-M head coaching tenure in dramatic fashion as his first game against Virginia provided the biggest comeback in Michigan history. The Wolverines trailed 17-0 with less than 12 minutes remaining, but came back to win with a touchdown on the final play of the game for an 18-17 victory.
The 1995 regular season culminated in a 31-23 home win over second-ranked and undefeated Ohio State in one of the biggest triumphs in school history.
The Wolverines finished the 1996 season with an appearance in their 22nd consecutive bowl game and ranked number 20 in the national rankings. Highlights from McGregor 's second season included a road win against Colorado and home field victories against UCLA and arch-rival Michigan State. Michigan closed out the regular season with yet another win over an undefeated and second ranked Ohio State team, this time by a score of 13-9 at Ohio Stadium.
In 1997, McGregor put all the pieces together, posting the most impressive regular season campaign at U-M in more than 25 years. At the start of the season, coach McGregor not only faced a schedule rated as one of the toughest in NCAA Division I-A, but also had the task of deciding on a starting quarterback while having to replace three All-Americans, four starters on defense and three starters on the offensive line.
Under McGregor’s steady hand, Michigan remained consistent each week, en route to its first Big Ten title and Rose Bowl appearance in five seasons. With a 24-3 defeat of then No. 5 o in the first game of the season, Michigan flexed its defensive muscles, giving fans a sneak peek of what to expect all season long. Michigan remained perfect through its first three games, boosting McGregor 's September record to 10-0. Even with tough road contests against Michigan State, Penn State and Wisconsin , the Wolverines remained focused.
The Culmination of Michigan's 1997 regular season proved to most dramatic contest of them all, with Michigan defeat No. 4 Ohio State 20-14 in front of the largest crowd in Michigan Stadium history. With the victory, coach McGregor became just the third U-M coach to defeat Ohio State in each of his first three games, following coaching legends Fielding H. Yost and Crisler.
McGregor and his Michigan Wolverines reached the summit of their journey when they defeated No. 7 Washington State, 21-16, in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1. Two days later Michigan was named the Associated Press National Champions. A week later, the Wolverines, were awarded the MacArthur Bowl by the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame and the Grantland Rice Trophy by the Football Writers Association of America, given Annually to the nation's most outstanding football team.
McGregor 's leadership of the 1997 Wolverines earned him several national coaching honors, including the Walter Camp Football Foundation, American Football Coaches Association, Football News, Maxwell Football Club, Woody Hayes, and Paul "Bear" Bryant coach of the year awards. With the awards, McGregor became just the fourth Michigan coach to win coach of the year honors, behind Crisler (1947), Bennie Oosterbaan (1948) and Bo Schembechler (1969).

Jets Fill Out Staff

March 1, 2003

The Jets’ new coach Ed McGregor finished putting his staff together this week. The team has hired Fred Coffey as the team’s Offensive Coordinator and Arnie Hanrahan as the team’s Defensive Coordinator.

McGregor brought with him from Michigan Hanrahan who was the Wolverines Defensive Coordinator for the past six years. Hanrahan also has NFL experience as a Defensive Backs Coach with Denver (1995-1996), and Washington’s Defensive Backs Coach from (1992-1994).

Coffey was with the Jets the past three years and remains one of two holdovers from Edward’s staff. Coffey was the team’s quarterback coach and McGregor feels that Coffey’s relationship with Pennington is one that should continue.

The organization also promoted Daryl Whiting from Assistant Supervisor of Scouting Personnel to the organization’s Head Scout.

Mock NFL Draft

1. Cincinnati Bengals: Jimmy Kennedy, DT, Penn State
Defensive-minded Bengals HC Marvin Lewis will attempt to build Cincinnati back to respectability with a stingy defense and the power running of RB Corey Dillon.
Needs: DT, CB, QB, OT, LB, WR
Options: The Bengals have been using USC QB Carson Palmer as trade bait, but they haven’t found the right deal yet. They cannot trade down too far or they’ll miss out on Kennedy or Kansas State CB Terence Newman, whom the team has already spoken to about contract expectations.

2. Detroit Lions: Charles Rogers, WR, Michigan State
The Lions have many needs, but Michigan State WR Charles Rogers, who has size and speed, is too good to pass on, and he fills a major need. Rogers has been described as the only "can’t miss" prospect in this year’s draft. The team needs Rogers to reinvigorate a passing offense whose leading receivers were RB James Stewart (45 receptions) and WR Bill Schroeder (595 yards).
Needs: WR, CB, S, LB, RB, OL
Options: The Lions have already rejected at least one trade offer to move down that would have netted them the Washington Redskins’ No. 13 overall pick and starting CB Fred Smoot. Still, you have to wonder if the Lions didn’t have to move that far down in the first round, they might be inclined to move down slightly and "settle" for Kansas State CB Terence Newman or Miami WR Andre Johnson.

3. Houston Texans: Jordan Gross, OT, Utah
The Texans gave up 76 sacks last year. Texans QB David Carr can’t go through another season like that. Meanwhile, Utah OT Jordan Gross had an excellent showing at the NFL Combine. Gross was one of the few top prospects that participated in every drill at the NFL Combine. That ingratiated him with teams. Gross graded out extremely high in every test and is firmly regarded as the top lineman available.
Needs: OT, FS, DT, OLB, RB, WR
Options: The Texans may be able to trade down to get Gross, but not as far as once thought. That makes a move down a very tricky proposition. The team could draft Michigan State WR Charles Rogers (if available) or WR Andre Johnson, but then it still must find a way to keep Carr upright in order to get them the ball.

4. Chicago Bears: Carson Palmer, QB, USC
What if USC QB Carson Palmer dropped into the Bears’ lap. That’s right! They’ll take him, despite what Bears GM Jerry Angelo has been saying. The Bears must start developing a top-flight signal caller now, and their chances of trading up from their second round pick to snag California QB Kyle Boller, Marshall QB Byron Leftwich, or Florida QB Rex Grossman appear slim.
Needs: QB, DT, OLB, TE, RB
Options: If Palmer starts dropping, a team may trade up ahead of the Bears to draft him. In that case, the Bears will probably select the best defender on the board, even if he doesn’t fill a pressing need. Kansas State CB Terence Newman, Arizona State DE Terrell Suggs, and DT Jimmy Kennedy (if he’s available) all fall into this category. Meanwhile, the Bears would have to settle for Louisville QB Dave Ragone or possibly Texas QB Chris Simms in the second round.

5. Dallas Cowboys: Terrence Newman, CB, Kansas State
The Cowboys released CB Dwayne Goodrich given all his legal troubles stemming from a hit-and-run incident back in January. Dallas needs a top cover corner to pair with CB Derek Ross. Newman, who has good size, skills and sub 4.4 speed, is the top cover guy in this class and could be gone by the time the Cowboys select.
Needs: Needs: CB, OT, DE, LB, RB
Options: The Cowboys could select Arizona State DE Terrell Suggs, but he may be a bit too small for HC Bill Parcells’ taste. Still, Suggs would be a fine option and could be moved to outside linebacker. The team also has to address its offensive tackle situation, which could be weakened by free agent defections. If Dallas hasn’t solved its offensive tackle problem by the time they draft, Utah OT Jordan Gross could become a Cowboy.

6. Arizona Cardinals: Terrell Suggs, DE, Arizona State
The Cardinals have so many major needs that it is hard to determine where they will go with this pick. However, Suggs is the top pass rusher in the draft. He would provide instant pressure on opposing quarterbacks and help get the ball back for Arizona’s offense.
Needs: DE, CB, QB, WR, DT, LB
Options: The Cardinals chose not to tag either WR David Boston (knee injury, off-the-field problems) or QB Jake Plummer. Boston wants to remain with the Cardinals, so their wide receiver needs may not be as acute as initially thought. Still, Boston is a free agent, so anything goes meaning Miami WR Andre Johnson could be the selection here. At quarterback, the team could consider using a high draft choice to get a top signal caller. But they already have a year invested in 2002 3rd round draft pick QB Josh McCown, so bringing in a stop-gap veteran may make more sense depending on McCown’s progress. The Cardinals could trade down and acquire up more draft picks, but there doesn’t seem to be great interest in trading up to the No. 6 overall pick. Any trade involving this pick probably won’t happen until draft day (if at all) when other teams have a clearer picture of who’s available at this spot. Kansas State CB Terence Newman, who could be paired with veteran CB Duane Starks, is another possibility. A defensive tackle like Dewayne Robertson (Kentucky) or Kevin Williams (Oklahoma State) is another possibility. It’s sort of like building an expansion team, isn’t it?

7. Minnesota Vikings: Marcus Trufant, CB, Washington State
Vikings need an infusion of talent to stop the defensive bleeding. Trufant has good cover skills and ran in the 4.4-range at the NFL Combine.
Needs: CB, DT, DE, OL, LB
Options: The Vikings are looking to trade down, which makes sense since they could select a top 3 defensive tackle or possibly even Trufant if they don’t slide down too far since New England and Kansas City are looking for cornerback help.

8. Jacksonville Jaguars: Andre Johnson, WR, Miami
New Jaguars HC Jack Del Rio must have the tools to live up to his promise of a "wide open offense." Jacksonville could take Johnson here and then concentrate on defense for the remainder of the draft.
Needs: WR, DE, LB, CB, SS, QB
Options: There’s been a lot of speculation that Andre Johnson may be selected before the No. 8 overall draft pick. If so, the Jaguars have major needs a most every defensive position (except at defensive tackle) and could be pleased to trade down, draft a defender, and pick up some extra picks along the way.

9. Carolina Panthers: Kyle Boller, QB, California
The Panthers desperately need a young quarterback, but Carolina OC Dan Henning indicated that he’s only excited about USC QB Carson Palmer. Is he bluffing?
Needs: QB, RB, WR, OT, TE
Options: The Panthers could trade down and hope California QB Kyle Boller, Marshall QB Byron Leftwich, and/or Florida QB Rex Grossman are still available. If these guys are available midway through the first round, look for teams to try and trade up to snag them. Although Leftwich checked out medically at the NFL Combine, he has become a real wildcard in the top half of the first round due to those leg injuries coupled with his lack of mobility. Stanford OT Kwame Harris or OG/OT Eric Steinbach could solve the team’s offensive tackle needs. If Utah OT Jordan Gross or Miami WR Andre Johnson is available, either could be the Panthers choice.

10. Baltimore Ravens: Byron Leftwich, QB, Marshall
The Ravens have a decision to make that was unexpected only a month ago. Do they draft an offensive tackle to shore up the right side of their line, or do they take one of the top quarterbacks in the draft?
Needs: ORT, DL, CB, QB, WR
Options: The Ravens need to come out of this draft with players who can at least challenge for starting positions at right offensive tackle, defensive tackle, defensive end, and cornerback. Leftwich is slipping as of late and could drop down team’s draft boards even more. Even though he checked out medically at the NFL Combine, his leg injuries coupled with his lack of mobility make him a risky selection.

11. Seattle Seahawks: Dewayne Robertson, DT, Kentucky
The Seahawks have needs across the defense, but drafting a replacement for aging DT John Randle would be a good place to start their overhaul.
Needs: DT, CB, DE, MLB
Options: With so many quality defensive tackles in this draft, the Seahawks may be tempted to select CB Marcus Trufant, if he is still available.

12. St. Louis Rams: Kwame Harris, OT, Stanford
The Rams must solve their right tackle problem after ORT John St. Clair rolled out the red carpet for opposing pass rushers last season.
Needs: ORT, CB, LB, WR
Options: The Rams absolutely have to draft an offensive right tackle, preferably with their first round pick. St. Louis quarterbacks were hammered last season, and the three top ones – Kurt Warner, Jamie Martin, and Marc Bulgar – all sustained injuries. Warner’s and Bulgar’s injuries ended their seasons. The Rams could easily select OG/OT Eric Steinbach, who could turn out to be a better football player. But Harris’ size and the fact that he was a tackle in college while Steinbach was a guard will likely sway the Rams in the end.

13. Washington Redskins: Talyor Jacobs, WR, Florida
The Redskins could really use some help at offensive guard, but HC Dan Sny… ahhh…I mean HC Steve Spurrier gets a speed receiver to start opposite WR Rod Gardner on his fantasy football team.
Needs: OG, WR, DT, DE, PK, P, QB
Options: The Redskins need the interior offensive line help that Iowa OG/OT Eric Steinbach, but they also need a speed receiver like Jacobs, who needs a strong individual workout to solidify his mid first round status. The Redskins have already tried to trade up, presumably to select Michigan State WR Charles Rogers or Miami WR Andre Johnson. Washington probably could trade down and get Jacobs, but they have to find a willing trade partner. Defensive tackle is also a possibility here with contract negotiations with DT Daryl Gardener and reserve DT Carl Powell stalled.

14. New England Patriots (from Buffalo): E.J. Henderson, MLB, Maryland
The Patriots are looking to get younger and faster on the defensive line, but they also need to improve their linebacking corps. Taking MLB E.J. Henderson here makes more sense than taking a defensive lineman, give the DL depth in this year’s draft. Henderson’s presence will allow current MLB Tedy Bruschi to move back to his more natural position of outside linebacker.
Needs: DE, DT, LB, CB, RB
Options: New England must get faster and younger on defense. Improving the defensive line is the team’s top priority, but the Patriots could stand to wait to take a defensive lineman with their No. 19 overall pick given the depth at this position in this year’s draft. If Iowa OG/OT Eric Steinbach is available, he may be too tempting to pass on. Same goes for Washington State CB Marcus Trufant if he’s still around. The Patriots need a running back, but with no sure fire first rounders available, they can afford to wait.

15. San Diego Chargers: Eric Steinbach, OG/OT, Iowa
The Chargers need an offensive tackle, and Steinbach, a guard at Iowa, proved that he could be an effective right tackle in the NFL.
Needs: OT, S, LB, DT, WR, CB
Options: The Chargers have many needs on defense, but their greatest need appears to be at offensive tackle. San Diego needs to upgrade from journeymen OLT Damion McIntosh and ORT Vaughn Parker. The team needs to get younger at safety and linebacker, but its too early to take a safety. MLB E.J. Henderson would make a good addition, but not as good as Iowa OG/OT Eric Steinbach.

16. Kansas City Chiefs: Jerome McDougle, DE, Miami
Without an available cornerback worthy of this pick, the Chiefs take the best defensive end available next to Arizona State DE Terrell Suggs.
Needs: DE, CB, QB, RB
Options: The Chiefs have indicated that they will fill their top two needs in different ways. Kansas City is looking at the free agent route to fill their need at defensive end and the draft to fill their need at cornerback. But you know what they say about "best laid plans." The Chiefs would love to take Washington State CB Marcus Trufant if he’s still on the board. But with Trufant’s excellent showing at the NFL Combine, he’s likely to be long gone. Oklahoma CB Andre Woolfolk’s poor showing during drills and lack of functional strength at the Combine makes him a risky pick here, but the Chiefs could take him and put him at the nickel position while they coach him up. Another option would be to select a quarterback, should one of the top two/three drop and the Chiefs think have nowhere else to go.

17. New Orleans Saints: William Joseph, DT, Miami
The Saints need to improve their secondary, but with Newman and Trufant off the board and Woolfolk a big risk, they opt to improve their defensive line. Joseph is versatile enough to be used at multiple spots along the line.
Needs: CB, MLB, S, DT, TE
Options: The Saints could take MLB E.J. Henderson or OLB Boss Bailey here, but the addition of a defensive tackle like Joseph can allow the team to have more athleticism at the position than they currently get from DT Norman Hand. The Saints could also try to trade up for CB Terence Newman or CB Marcus Trufant, or take a chance on Oklahoma CB Andre Woolfolk or FS/CB Rashean Mathis.

18. New Orleans Saints (from Miami): Rashean Mathis, FS/CB, Bethune-Cookman
The Saints have needs a young, strong, fast cornerback and safety. With Mathis, they have to flexibility to fill their greatest need in the secondary. Mathis has superior coverage skills for a free safety and could be used as a cornerback if the team so desires.
Needs: CB, MLB, S, DT, TE
Options: If the Saints want more speed at linebacker, OLB Boss Bailey could be the pick here. But speed in the secondary is also a big concern. Oklahoma CB Andre Woolfolk could be an option here, but his functional strength at the NFL Combine and his experience are in question.

19. New England Patriots: Kevin Williams, DT, Oklahoma State
The Patriots need another two-gap defensive tackle to pair with DT Richard Seymour. If New England decides to move to a 3-4, they’ll need a guy to eat up offensive linemen so the team has the flexibility to move Seymour to defensive end.
Needs: DE, DT, LB, CB, RB
Options: If the Patriots address their need on the defensive line with their No. 14 overall pick, then the Pats could look at Georgia OLB Boss Bailey or one of the cornerbacks here. A defensive end like Nebraska’s Chris Kelsey or Penn State’ Michael Haynes is a good possibility here as well. The Patriots could trade down and pick up Penn State RB Larry Johnson.

20. Denver Broncos: Chris Kelsay, DE, Nebraska
The Broncos need to improve their pass rush, and Kelsay’s college career coupled with his NFL Combine performance make him a good pick.
Needs: DE, QB, OT, DT
Options: The Broncos are reportedly looking to improve their quarterback situation in free agency and not with their first round pick. Still, one of the top quarterback prospects is an option here. The Broncos may secretly covet Cal QB Kyle Boller. Still, there is no questioning their need for a strong, fast pass rusher.

21. Cleveland Browns: George Foster, OT, Georgia
The Browns desperately need an offensive tackle, but there are some interesting possibilities available after the first round. Still, if Foster can come back 100 percent from his wrist injury, he presents the best upside and thus best option the Browns have a fixing their offensive line woes this season.
Needs: OT, OG, DE, CB, DT
Options: Improving the offensive line has to be the Browns’ top priority, but keep an eye on DE Courtney Brown’s recovery from microfracture surgery on this need. Brown wasn’t showing much aggressiveness before the injury, and he may be even less of a factor now. Thus, a defensive end like Penn State DE Michael Haynes, who pulled a quad at the NFL Combine and thus disappointed during workouts, could be selected here. The draft doesn’t appear likely to fall the way the Browns need it to, and thus they may have to trade up to get one of the top three offensive tackles (Steinbach can play tackle) or they may drop down in the first round (so long as they stand in front of the 49ers) and still select Foster or a cornerback.

22. New York Jets: Johnathan Sullivan, DT, Georgia
The Jets need to shore up their defensive line and selecting Sullivan would do just that.
Needs: DT, OL, LB, WR
Options: The Jets could easily draft Georgia OLB Boss Bailey here. New York might be forced to draft a linebacker high if they cannot get salary cap relief from their current set of veteran starters. In addition, LB Mo Lewis is 34 and the team, at the very least, needs to add some young, fast depth. The Jets need offensive line help, especially at guard, but they can help themselves there after the first round.

23. Atlanta Falcons: Kelley Washington, WR, Tennessee
There’s no doubt the Falcons needs a wide receiver. Washington possesses tremendous size and speed, but questions about his health could have the Falcons looking elsewhere.
Needs: WR, CB, FS, OG, DT
Options: If the Falcons cut a deal with the Bills for franchised WR Peerless Price, they probably will have to give Buffalo this pick as part of the compensation for Price. If the Falcons cannot obtain Price (or even free agent WR David Boston (Cardinals) for that matter) and are not interested in any of the wide receivers available at this spot, they could draft a cornerback, which is also a significant need. Raw Oklahoma CB Andre Woolfolk, Oregon State CB Dennis Weathersby, and Texas A&M CB Sammy Davis could all be interesting picks here.

24. Indianapolis Colts: Andre Woolfolk, CB, Oklahoma
The Colts need speedy, athletic performers on the defensive line and in the secondary.
Needs: DT, CB, S, OLB, OG, WR, TE
Options: Oklahoma CB Andre Woolfolk’s poor NFL Combine performance could force a few teams that really need a cornerback to pass on him. But Woolfolk has tremendous upside, so his fall may not be that great. The Colts really need defensive line help, but there is more depth in this draft at defensive line than at cornerback. Georgia OLB Boss Bailey, is, once again, another option.

25. New York Giants: Kenny Peterson, DT/DE, Ohio State
In Peterson, the Giants add a quality component to their defensive line who gives them some flexibility
Needs: DT, S, OT, LB, OG
Options: If the Giants are looking for a more traditional defensive end, they may opt to go with Penn State DE Michael Haynes. Bethune-Cookman FS/CB Rashean Mathis would be a nice addition if he’s still available. Ohio State S Mike Doss and USC S Troy Polamalu could also be considered, but one of them could probably obtained by trading down.

26. San Francisco 49ers: Rien Long, DT, Washington State
Defensive tackle is a sudden need with the release of DT Dana Stubblefield.
Needs: OT, DE, DT, CB, S, WR.
Options: The 49ers may select Georgia OT George Foster if he is available. Starting OT Derrick Deese was injured during part of 2002 while OT Scott Gragg is only a journeyman who played above himself last year. On defense, an end such as Penn State DE Michael Haynes is a real possibility here.

27. Pittsburgh Steelers: Sammy Davis, CB, Texas A&M
The Steelers need help in the secondary, both at cornerback and safety.
Needs: CB, S, QB, OT, TE, RB
Options: The Steelers could opt for Oregon State CB Dennis Weathersby, who possesses great size (6-0½, 210), speed (4.37/40 at the Combine) and experience. But Davis (5-11, 186, 4.41/40 at the Combine) is more consistent, has better instincts, and is much more aggressive than Weathersby. With Kordell Stewart recently released and Charlie Batch a free agent, the Steelers are one more Tommy Maddox concussion away from having nothing at quarterback. Thus, Florida QB Rex Grossman is a possibility here. Offensive line may be a concern considering OLT Wayne Gandy’s expected free agent departure. The Steelers also must monitor the recovery of starting TE Mark Bruener (knee), who is reportedly recovering nicely from microfracture knee surgery so far.

28. Tennessee Titans: Vince Manuwai, OG, Hawaii
The Titans have needs in several places, with wide receiver topping the list, but the offensive line also needs help, which in turn, will help RB Eddie George.
Needs: WR, OG, RB, CB, DT
Options: The Titans need a speed wide receiver to start opposite WR Derrick Mason. However, the remaining wide receivers on the board would be a reach here. Manuwai showed good strength and quickness at the NFL Combine. Tennessee also has to find a consistent, reliable cornerback, who isn’t injury prone, to start opposite CB Samari Rolle.

29. Green Bay Packers: Rex Grossman, QB, Florida
The Packers are still eyeing Grossman, even though they had a lot of injuries on defense and at offensive tackle last year. They could go with a defensive lineman here, but look for them to cast an eye toward the future.
Needs: LB, OT, QB, DT, CB, PR
Options: The Packers have many needs on defense, which did not play as well as expected last season. Aging MLB Hardy Nickerson must be replaced and speed must be improved across the board. Meanwhile, the Packers will have to bring in some young talent at offensive tackle where starting offensive tackles Mark Tauscher (knee) and Chad Clifton (hip, knee) are coming off injuries.

30. Philadelphia Eagles: Michael Haynes, DE, Penn State
The Eagles need a defensive end to pressure the opposing quarterback either by retaining DE Hugh Douglas or by selecting one in the draft.
Needs: DE, TE, MLB, OLB, WR
Options: With DE Hugh Douglas unlikely to return due to free agency, the Eagles must replace him. Penn State DE Michael Haynes, Colorado DE/DT Tyler Brayton, or Louisville DE Dewayne White could fill the bill here. Starting TE Chad Lewis has had two disappointing seasons in a row and its time for a major upgrade. Tennessee TE Jason Witten and Iowa TE Dallas Clark are possibilities here.

31. Oakland Raiders: Jeff Faine, C, Notre Dame
The Raiders need a strong, dependable center to solidify their offensive line.
Needs: DE, C, RB, WR, S, CB
Options: Starting C Barrett Robbins’ troubles will compel the Raiders to at least upgrade depth at the center position. Faine (6-2, 303) would be a strong addition here. The Raiders could still opt to take Penn State RB Larry Johnson here since they need a power running back. The Raiders could also opt to take one of the top safeties in this draft to bolster the secondary.

32. Oakland Raiders (from Tampa Bay): Tyler Brayton, DE/DT, Colorado
Oakland has to beef up their pass rush given the age and injury history of DE Trace Armstrong. Remember…the quarterback must go down, and go down hard!
Needs: DE, C, RB, WR, S, CB
Options: The Raiders were exposed as a slow, aging team in the Super Bowl, so adding youth and speed are musts. Oakland has a pressing need at defensive end where Trace Armstrong (Achilles) and Tony Bryant (bruised spinal column) are recovering from serious injuries. Brayton (6-6, 277, 4.67/40) would add a tough DE/DT tweener who displayed excellent speed and abilities at the NFL Combine.

The New York Jets released Linebacker's Marvin Jones and Mo Lewis as expected. The team has said they are looking to get younger, and they felt that 31-year old Marvin Jones and 34-year old Mo Lewis was where they could start.

It was expected that Mo Lewis was a sure thing, because of his age and cap hit, however, the talks recently that Jones was going to be released came as a bit of a surprise. The release of Jones signals that the team will move Cowart to his natural linebacking position, the middle. The Jets will have to address the departure of Lewis and Jones through the draft or free agency.

Randy Thomas, Press Release
03/07/2003

Ashburn, VA – The Washington Redskins announced today they have signed veteran guard Randy Thomas. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Thomas has displayed aggressive pass protection skills and solid run blocking in his previous four seasons with the New York Jets, and adds additional talent and experience to the Redskins offensive line. He has been touted among the most coveted players on this year’s free agent market.
Thomas, 6-5, 301 lbs., has started all 61 contests of his four-year career. In 2002, he was the starting right guard for all 16 games, helping pave the way for Curtis Martin when he rushed for 1,094 yards. He started 13 contests in 2001, missing three games due to an ankle injury after posting 16 starts consecutively during the 2000 and 1999 seasons.

Thomas, 27, was drafted by the Jets in the second round (57th overall) of the 1999 NFL Draft out of Mississippi State. He was named to virtually every NFL rookie-team list and was the only rookie guard to start all 16 contests in the NFL in 1999. He was also the first Jets rookie to open the season in the starting lineup since Randy Rasmussen in 1967.

As a senior, Thomas received first-team all-Southeastern Conference honors, after starting every game during his college career. He was also named a SEC Academic Honor Roll recipient during his time at Mississippi State. Prior to playing for Mississippi State, Thomas was named All-America, All-State and All-Region as a two-year starter at Copiah-Lincoln (MS) Community College. He received a degree in educational psychology from Mississippi State.

John Hall, Press Release
03/08/2003

Ashburn, VA – The Washington Redskins announced today that they have signed kicker John Hall. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. The six-year NFL veteran is a tough-minded and consistent competitor who has shown his ability to come through in critical game situations, nailing seven game-winning field goals among other clutch performances thus far in his career.
Hall, 28, comes to Washington after spending the first six years of his professional career with the New York Jets, scoring more than 100 points in five of his six seasons (93 points in 2000). He has connected on 149-of-203 field goals (regular season career-long of 55 yards; 60 yards in pre-season) and 205-of-210 extra points as a pro. His 652 career points rank him third all-time among Jets players, and he reached the 300-point total faster than any other player in franchise history. Hall turned in a solid performance in 2002, making 24-of-31 field goals in the regular season and playing a key role in leading the Jets into the playoffs. He was a perfect 2-for-2 in post-season play.

The 6-3, 220 lb. kicker handled both place kicking and kickoffs during 2001, finishing the season 24-of-31 and 32-of-32 on extra points. In addition, Hall converted a 53-yard field goal against Oakland with under a minute left to secure the Jets with their first playoff berth since 1998. His solid kick-offs helped the Jets secure excellent starting field position throughout the season, leading New York to finish ranked 2nd in the AFC and 5th in the NFL in the category.

In 2000, he connected on 21-of-32 field goals and recorded nine touchbacks. He set a career-high for field goal percentage in 1999 (81.8 %) converting on 27-of-33 field goals and finished with 108 points. He equaled a career-best with 120 points in 1998 making 25-of-35 field goals and a career-high 45 extra points. He began his career as an undrafted free agent in 1997, scoring a total of 120 points and setting a modern-day record for touchbacks with 29, earning him AFC Rookie of the Week and numerous all-rookie team honors at the end of the season.

Hall played collegiate ball at the University of Wisconsin and finished his career as the fifth all-time leading scorer with 186 points. He also holds the school’s record for the longest field goal (60 yards). Hall is a native of Port Charlotte, FL, where he attended Port Charlotte High School.

Bucs lose Singleton to 4-year deal with Jets



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TAMPA -- It took free agency to create some gaping holes in the NFL's best defense.

Bucs linebacker Al Singleton became the second starter to leave the Super Bowl champs in as many days when he signed a four-year contract with the Jets on Thursday. Terms weren't released, but the deal was believed to be worth about $8-million and include a $2-million signing bonus.

The 6-foot-2, 228-pound Singleton spent six seasons with Tampa Bay. He became a starter last season when Shelton Quarles moved to middle linebacker. Singleton finished with a career-high 89 tackles.

On Wednesday, Super Bowl MVP Dexter Jackson signed a five-year, $14-million deal with the Cardinals. As with Jackson, the Bucs expected to lose Singleton because of their salary-cap situation.

Singleton's departure leaves the Bucs without an experienced linebacker. Ryan Nece is recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament that forced him to spend most of his rookie season on injured reserve, and the Bucs did not tender a contract to restricted free agent Jack Golden.

Despite the hit to the defense, the Bucs plowed on with their search for backup quarterbacks.

Redskins sign free agent KR Chad Morton to offer sheet


ASHBURN, Virginia (Ticker) - The Washington Redskins continued their overhaul Thursday, or tried at least.
Already armed with a new running back, kicker and five linemen, the Redskins signed restricted free agent kick-returner Chad Morton to an offer sheet.
While terms were not disclosed, ESPN reported the deal to be worth $8 million over five years, including a $2.5 million signing bonus.
The New York Jets have seven days to match the offer or accept a fifth-round draft pick as compensation. They had made Morton a qualifying offer of $605,000 for one year, according to ESPN.
Morton, 25, ranked second in the AFC last season, averaging 26 yards per return. He totaled a team-record 1,509 return yards and two touchdowns - both in a Week One win at Buffalo, including a 98-yarder in overtime.
The second player in NFL history to return a kickoff for a touchdown in overtime, Morton has averaged 24.4 yards per return in three seasons - two with the Jets and one with New Orleans.
Morton is the second restricted free agent this week to sign an offer sheet with the Redskins. On Monday, Green Bay safety Matt Bowen signed a reported four-year, $6 million deal.
Before they signed Morton to the offer sheet, the Redskins needed to acquire a compensatory fifth-round draft pick. They got one Monday from New England, but it did not meet NFL guidelines because it wasn't higher than Washington's own fifth-rounder.
On Thursday, the deal was amended, with the Redskins acquiring the highest of the Patriots' three fifth-round selections, which originally was Dallas'. In exchange, Washington and New England swapped 2003 third-round picks.
It is believed the Jets will match the offer.

Jets sign PK Doug Brien
3/11/03

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) -- The New York Jets signed unrestricted free agent Doug Brien on Friday to replace kicker John Hall, who signed with the Washington Redskins.

Brien began last season with the Minnesota Vikings but was released in October. He entered the league in 1994 and tied a Super Bowl record that year when he made all seven extra points he attempted in San Francisco's 49-26 victory over San Diego.

Brien also set 49ers records that season for extra points made (60) and attempted (62).

Brien has played nine years in the NFL with five teams.

Jets have a week to match Redskins' offer Associated Press

WASHINGTON -- Wide receiver Laveranues Coles signed an offer sheet from the Washington Redskins on Wednesday. On Monday, the Redskins offered Coles, the New York Jets' outstanding young receiver, a seven-year contract worth about $35 million, including a $13 million signing bonus. Coles is a restricted free agent, so the Jets have a week to match the offer. If they don't, they will receive Washington's first-round and third round pick in this year's NFL draft. Coles had 89 catches for 1,264 yards and five touchdowns last season. He has said he was disappointed by the Jets' initial contract offer -- believed to include a $6 million signing bonus. While New York has enough money under the salary cap to match Washington's offer it also must consider whether to match the offer to Morton by Thursday.

[mmarra82]

The Jets tooks some time to evaluate and have concluded to match the Redskins' offer for RB/KR Chad Morton.

Morton, 25, ranked second in the AFC last season, averaging 26 yards per return. He totaled a team-record 1,509 return yards and two touchdowns - both in a Week One win at Buffalo, including a 98-yarder in overtime.

It is expected that Morton's role in the offense will expand as well this season, as the new staff looks to add speed.

New linebacker Navies signs on with Jets

Associated Press


Hempstead, NY - Shedding blocks is what linebackers like Hannibal Navies are paid to do.

And while Navies is at it, the newest New York Jet plans to shed an injury label which drove down his price as an unrestricted free agent.

Navies, who signed a three-year deal Tuesday with the Jets reportedly worth $3 million, including a $500,000 signing bonus, can play all three linebacker positions.

The only problem is that the projected replacement for aging Mo Lewis has been nicked-up for much of his four-year NFL career.

Navies said he is confident not only that his injury-plagued days are over, but that he can play effectively in the middle even though most of his professional experience is at outside linebacker.

"I have no doubt I can stay healthy," said Navies Wednesday in a conference call from his home in Charlotte, N.C. "It's been a couple of tough breaks the last couple years, but it's not been anything major."

"I don't think it will be an issue for me to stay healthy."

The 6-2, 240-pound Navies has missed 26 of a possible 64 regular-season games since entering the league as Carolina's fourth-round pick in 1999, including 16 the past two seasons.

Navies started nine of the 11 games he played in last season as the Panthers' strong side linebacker and recorded 45 tackles, 25 solo, with no sacks before sitting out the final five games with a high ankle sprain.

He started Carolina's first five games of 2001, but was sidelined the last 11 with a broken forearm.

Navies was healthy the entire 2000 season, playing in 13 games as a backup, but missed the first seven games of his rookie season with a knee injury.

He was healthy and highly productive during his collegiate career at Colorado, where he was a two-year starter and finished with 180 solo tackles, eighth-best in Buffaloes' history.

WR Coles headed to Washington
March 19, 2003
The Sports Network

East Rutherford, NJ (Sports Network) - The New York Jets have decided not to match the Washington Redskins' offer sheet to restricted free agent wide receiver Laveranues Coles, according to published reports.

According to Wednesday's New York Daily News and New York Post, the Jets will announce at a press conference on Wednesday that they will allow Coles to officially become a Redskin and accept the offer sheet, which is reported to be worth $35 million over seven years, including a $13 million signing bonus.

The club officially has until 4:00 PM Wednesday to determine whether they will match the offer sheet Coles signed last week with Washington.

The Jets will receive Washington's first round selection (13th overall) and the team's third round draft selection (75 overall) in April's draft as compensation. The Jets also have their own pick in the first round, which is No. 22.

The 25-year-old Coles, who played his college ball at Florida State, set career highs last season with 89 catches for 1,264 yards, an average of 14.2 yards per reception. He also caught five touchdown passes.

In his first two campaigns, the 5'11", 196-pounder had 81 receptions for 1,238 yards and eight touchdowns.

Hempstead, NY

Owner Woody Johnson - "The past three weeks has seen our organziation make decisions that were not easy ones. Long tenured players have moved on, and the organization has changed its focus. General Manager Michael Marra, and Coach McGregor and their staff have the ownerships full support. At this time I ask General Manager Michael Marra to address you. Mr. Marra will explain the team's decision making process and then will take some questions from you. Mike..."

GM Marra - "As Mr. Johnson stated, the past three weeks have seen more changes in the Jets' organization, this time to our club's roster. Currently we are about a projected $10 million under the league salary cap, once the draft is completed and any further free agency signings occur. Once we have our roster established we will begin to look at extending the contracts of some of our core players whose contracts are up following the 2004 season.

Our organziation's goal is to compete and ultimately get the New York Jets back to the Super Bowl in a three year window. In order to get the plan in action we had to part ways with some veteran players. Our longest tenure Jet Mo Lewis and Marvin Jones were released to free up the necessary cap space to bring in youger players on the Defense. We have addressed these issues by signing Hannibal Navies to play the strong side and Al Singleton for the weak side, Sam Cowart will be moved to his more natural position, the middle. We explored the possiblity of signing a Defensive Tackle, however, the top Defensive Tackles asking prices were high, and we felt we could work this position from within the organziation and through the draft. We are currently looking at suring up our Safety position through free agency and the draft as well.

Because of today's salary cap, we faced the tough decisions of seeing some young talent move to Washington. Unrestricted Free Agent Randy Thomas was offered a very lucrative deal, that we felt we could not match because of our cap situation. The move of Restricted Free Agent Laverneus Coles puts this organziation in a good position. We tendered an offer to Coles that would grant us a first and third round pick if he signed with someone else. Washington offered Coles a contract that we could have matched however, it would have made our cap situation difficult to handle next season when we have to extend what we feel are our key players for the future. After speaking with the staff and scouts we feel that Moss, who has a similar build, can fit into Coles role, and Coach McGregor would like to obtain a taller more physical receiver to play opposite. We are looking at some veteran wide outs as well as players in this year's draft.

The decision to keep Chad Morton was a deal that made sense to us. If we had allowed Morton to move on to Washington, we would have received a 5th round pick. Now we have someone still here to handle kick return responsibilities as well as add another dimension out of the backfield.

We now have two picks in the first round, a pick in the second round and two picks in the third round to help fill any needs and allow this team to compete for years to come.

At this time I can take some questions.

"Have you had any contact with other teams about moving your two first round picks, and moving up in the first round to obtain one of the elite players?"

Marra - "At this time, no, although we were only awarded the picks a couple of days ago."

"Because of the short time the front office and staff has had to prepare for free agency, do you feel you lost out on some players, such as Coles and Thomas?"

Marra - "I was hear when we tried to negotiate a long term deal with Coles, but I think they knew he would receive some offers and wanted the opportunity to explore them. As far as what was out on the market, I feel we did well, there was a lot interest in some of the players we signed, and they ended up with us."

"How much input has the coaching staff had in the decision making process?"

Marra - "Myself, the Scouting Staff and the Coaching Staff has spent countless hours over the past three weeks evaluating our own personnel, unrestricted and restricted free agents and the draft pool. We are all on the same page, we want players that are younger, quicker and can adapt to the new system."

"Will Vinny Testaverde be with the team this season?"

Marra - "Coach McGregor and myself spoke with Vinny and informed him that we would like to have him back for the season."

"Will Vinny's role be solely as a backup?"

Marra - "I cannot answer that for certainty, that will be the coaches' choice."

"Will we see any more signings before the draft?"

Marra - "It is possible, we are scheduled to meet with Minnesota Vikings' Safety, Tyrone Carter, San Diego Chargers' Receiver, Curtis Conway and Seattle's Restricted Free Agent Wide Receiver, Darrell Jackson. We also plan to workout several players in the nex week or so, then direct our full attention to the draft."

PR Director - "At this time our press conference is concluded, Coach McGregor will now meet with scheduled reporters one to one at fifteen minutes each. Thank you for coming."

VIKINGS REPORT: Carter signs with Jets

BY BILL WILLIAMSON

Pioneer Press


Tyrone Carter is leaving the Twin Cities.

The Florida native, who etched a place in Gophers history, agreed to terms with the New York Jets on Thursday, leaving the Vikings and the Twin Cities after seven seasons here.

"Sometimes leaving home is the toughest thing,'' said Carter's agent Drew Rosenhaus. "He really found it hard to leave the Vikings. He would have loved to stay in Minnesota, but the Jets offered him a rare opportunity.''

Rosenhaus said Carter would officially sign a two-year contract today. Terms were not available, but it's believed Carter got a signing bonus.

The Jets will give Carter a chance to return kicks, as well as an opportunity to play cornerback and safety.

Carter was a college legend but was unable to play consistently well for the Vikings, moving between cornerback and safety. He was named the starting right cornerback after two games last season but lost the job after four games and played the rest of the season as a nickel cornerback. He returned 17 kickoffs for 20.6 average.

Carter started 20 games as a Vikings, but at 5 feet 8, 190 pounds, many coaches considered him too small to be a consistent performer in the NFL. Still, it was a popular move locally when the team drafted him in the fourth round of the 2000 draft.

Carter, 27, was the first Gopher to earn consecutive All-America honors since Bobby Bell in 1961-62. He had 528 tackles in college, an NCAA record for defensive backs.

Even though they are revamping their secondary, the Vikings had a limited interest in retaining Carter as a reserve. He turned down modest offers from the Vikings and Indianapolis last month. He became an unrestricted free agent when the Vikings declined to give him a contract tender for this season.

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) The New York Jets signed free-agent punter Dan Stryzinski on Monday to replace Matt Turk, who was released earlier this month.

Stryzinski was let go by Kansas City last month. Stryzinski has nearly four times as many punts inside the 20-yard line as he does touchbacks (271-73) and he has a 40.1-yard gross average and net average of 35.8 yards.

He also has played for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Atlanta Falcons during his 13-year career.

Charles Rogers (6-2 3/8, 200, 4.30, 4.19/SS, 7.10/3-cone, 37"/V, 10’1"/LJ) | Michigan State. Rogers bobbled a few passes during his workout.

Kelley Washington (6-2½, 215, 4.42/40, 4.08/SS, 6.86/3-cone, 11.48/long shuttle, 18/BP, 39"/V, 10’9"/LJ) | Tennessee. Washington looked fully recovered from Nov. 2002 neck fusion surgery, caught the ball well, and looked powerful coming out of his breaks. He has firmly established himself as a first round pick.

William Joseph (6-5, 308, 5.05/40, 29/BP, 30"/V) | Miami

Jimmy Kennedy (6-4, 323, 5.22/40, 4.72/SS, 8.06/3-cone, 23/BP, 30"/V, 8’3"/LJ) | Penn State

Dan Klecko (5-11½, 273) | Temple. Klecko worked out but did not do any drills during his school-sponsored pro day. He weighed in at 273, 10 pounds less than what he was at the Combine.

Rien Long (6-6 1/8, 303, 5.15/40, 4.47/Ss, 7.09/3-cone, 18/BP, 29"/V, 9’5"/LJ, 32¾" arm, 10" hand) | Washington State

Kenny Peterson (6-3½, 288, 27/BP, 30"/V, 8’7"/LJ) | Ohio State. [DT/DE] Peterson was impressive during weightlifting drills, but he pulled his hamstring running the 40-yard dash and could not complete the run. Several of NFL reps thought Peterson was faking the injury because he knew his dash time would be poor and needed a handy excuse.

Dwayne Robertson (6-1 3/8, 324, 4.85/40, 30/BP, 29½"/V, 8’8"/LJ) | Kentucky

Johnathan Sullivan (6-3 3/8, 312, 4.97/40, 4.83/SS, 7.74/3-cone, 24/BP, 29½"/V, 8’4"/LJ) | Georgia. Sullivan failed to impress scouts during his pro day.

Ty Warren (6-4 5/8, 307, 5.05/40, 24/BP) | Texas A&M. The Packers, Steelers, Dolphins, and Bills were among the teams that attended his workout.

Rodney "Boss" Bailey (6-3¼, 230, 4.42/40, 45½"/V, 10’11"/LJ) | Georgia. Bailey was clocked as low as 4.35 in the 40 on a rubber track during his school-sponsored pro day.

Victor Hobson (4.61/40, 4.20/SS, 7.09/3-cone) | Michigan. Hobson ran indoors on a rubber track.

Robert Mathis (6-0 3/8, 228, 4.54/40, 4.25/SS, 7.30/3-conel, 22/BP, 32"/V, 9’6"/LJ) | Alabama A&M. [OLB/DE] Mathis is a defensive end who projects to outside linebacker in the NFL.

Mike Nattiel (5-11 5/8, 228, 4.60/40, 36"/V) | Florida

Pisa Tinoisamoa (6-0 3/8, 231) | Hawaii. Tinoisamoa looked very good in drills during his school-sponsored pro day.

Sam Williams (6-4½, 257, 4.58/40, 4.26/SS, 21/BP, 37"/V, 10’2½"/LJ) | Fresno State. Williams added 17 pounds of muscle for his pro day. His 4.58 40-time was on rough grass and was better than any recorded by a linebacker at the NFL Combine (4.62 being the best).

Gerald Hayes (6-0 1/8, 239, 4.77/40, 4.41/SS, 7.62/3-cone, 31"/V) | Pittsburgh. Hayes didn't do the long jump.

E.J. Henderson (6-1½, 238, 4.70/40, 4.34/SS, 7.15/3-cone, 32½"/V, 9’0"/LJ) | Maryland. Henderson impressed scouts during drills.

Terry Pierce (6-1¼, 245, 4.79/40, 4.51/SS, 7.30/3-cone, 32"/V, 9’7"/LJ) | Kansas State. Pierce didn't bench press since he did it at the Combine. Some scouts said he was impressive during linebacker drill, other said he looked sluggish. The Saints and the Chiefs were particularly impressed even though there was general agreement that Pierce appeared to be 7-9 pounds heavy.

Drayton Florence (6-0, 190) | Tuskegee. Florence postponed his workout until March 27 (originally scheduled for March 4) because he tweaked his hamstring at the NFL Combine.

Ricky Manning Jr. (5-9, 180, 4.45/40) | UCLA

Terence Newman (5-10 3/8, 189, 4.39/40, 3.84/SS, 6.61/3-cone) | Kansas State

Derrick Tatum (5-10 3/8, 194, 4.41/40, 4.06/SS, 11.07/long shuttle, 6.92/3-cone, 15/BP, 37"/V, 10’7"/LJ) | Kentucky

Marcus Trufant (3.89/SS) | Washington State

Andre Woolfolk (6-1 3/8, 197) | Oklahoma. Didn't run at his school-sponsored pro day after running a 4.48/40 at the NFL Combine. Woolfolk looked very good in drills during his school-sponsored pro day, but then scouts watched him surrender two TD passes on the Oklahoma State game film.

Nnamdi Asomugha (6-2 5/8, 210, 4.41/40, 4.22/SS, 7.03/3-cone) | California. [FS/CB/SS]

Julian Battle (6-2 1/8, 204, 4.44/40, 14/BP, 35½"/V, 9’11"/LJ) | Tennessee. The Buffalo Bills are looking at Battle as a cornerback prospect.

Terrence Holt (6-1¾, 208, 4.55/40) | North Carolina State

Derek Pagel (6-1, 210, 4.62/40, 6.50/3-cone, 25/BP, 9’9"/LJ) | Iowa. Pagel did not do the vertical jump because he did it at the NFL Combine.

Willie Pile (6-2 1/8, 204, 4.54/40) | Virginia Tech. Pile did not jump or do anything else because he already had done that at the Combine.

Mike Doss (6-2¼, 215, 4.50/40, 3.97/SS, 6.77/3-cone, 16/BP, 39"/V, 10’3"/LJ) | Ohio State

Terrence Kiel (5-11, 205, 4.50/40) | Texas A&M. The Packers, Steelers, Dolphins, and Bills attended Kiel’s workout.

Gerome Sapp (6-0 1/8, 219) | Notre Dame. Sapp did not to work out during his school-sponsored pro day due to a broken wrist he sustained on February 26.

April 25, 2003

With the NFL Draft approaching tomorrow, the Jets were contacted by Chicago to see if they were interested in sending their #13 and #22 pick of the first round along with a mid-round pick to move up to the #4 spot to have a shot at perhaps Wide Receiver Charles Rogers, Andre Johnson, Defensive Tackle Dwayne Robertson or Cornerback Terence Newman.

Jets feel they have too many holes at this time and can get the quality players later in the first round. It is believed the Jets would like to land a DT at #13. It is believed that Robertson will be gone by then, however, they feel they will still get a shot at one of the remaining Defensive Tackles, which is one of the deepest positions of the draft. It is believed that the Jets are hopeful, Kevin Williams of Oklahoma State or Jonathan Sullivan of Georgia will be available after Robertson, who is expected to go in the Top-5.

[mmarra82]

April 25, 2003

Chicago has been talking with teams the past few days about trading out of the #4 spot, and they found a taker. The Patriots who are looking for a dominating type player made the deal with the Bears, sending their #14 pick, #19 pick and a mid round pick in return for the #4 overall pick. It is believed the Patriots are looking to nab Defensive Tackle Dwayne Robertson of Kentucky or one of the elite wideouts, Charles Rogers of Michigan State, or Andre Johnson of Miami.

[mmarra82]

April 26, 2003
NFL Draft

NFL Draft
Round 1

1. Cincinnati Bengals: Carson Palmer, QB (6-4¼, 237, 4.60) | USC.
With the No. 1 overall pick in the 2003 NFL Draft, the Bengals selected their quarterback of the future. Veteran QB Jon Kitna will get the starting nod this year, giving Palmer time to digest the playbook. The question is how quickly can Palmer learn Cincinnati’s system?

2. Detroit Lions: Charles Rogers, WR (6-4, 202, 4.44) | Michigan State.
The Lions desperately needed a franchise wide receiver and got one in Rogers, who will reinvigorate a passing offense whose leading receivers were RB James Stewart (45 receptions) and WR Bill Schroeder (595 yards) in 2002.

3. Houston Texans: Andre Johnson, WR (6-1 7/8, 224, 4.42) | Miami.
The Texans opted to roll the dice that veteran OLT Tony Boselli will be fully recovered from his shoulder problems to give Houston a full season of play in 2003. Instead trading down and selecting Utah OT Jordan Gross to protect QB David Carr (sacked 76 times in 2003), Houston decided to use a mid round selection on a pass protector (OT Seth Wand), saving their No. 3 overall pick for explosive Miami WR Andre Johnson, who has the size and speed to exploit a defense.

4. New England (from Chicago): Dewayne Robertson, DT (6-1 3/8, 317, 4.87) | Kentucky.
The Patriots traded their No. 14 overall and No. 19 overall draft picks to Chicago to move up high enough to select the best defensive tackle in this year’s draft.

5. Dallas Cowboys: Terence Newman, CB (5-10 3/8, 189, 4.39) | Kansas State.
While Dallas HC Bill Parcells would have preferred to trade down, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones held firm and selected Newman, adding much needed coverage ability to a secondary that was shaky in that area last season.

6. New Orleans Saints (from Arizona): Johnathan Sullivan, DT (6-3 1/8, 312, 4.97) | Georgia.
The Saints continued to upgrade their defense with their trade up for Sullivan, who was practically handed a starting job when the Saints traded starting DT Norman Hand to the Seahawks on Day 2 of the draft.

7. Jacksonville Jaguars (moved up after Minnesota passed): Byron Leftwich, QB (6-5 3/8, 242, 4.88) | Marshall.
Jaguars HC Jack Del Rio opted to select the team’s quarterback of the future given Jaguars veteran starting QB Mark Brunell is getting old after taking a couple of years of pounding. Leftwich will watch from the sidelines this year, giving him more time for his leg to heal.

8. Carolina Panthers (moved up after Minnesota passed): Jordan Gross, OT (6-4½, 303, 5.02) | Utah.
The Panthers lucked out as Gross fell into their lap. Gross will fill the void at right tackle created when Carolina released ORT Chris Terry late in the 2002 season.

9. Minnesota Vikings (passed on draft slots 7 and 8): Kevin Williams, DT (6-4½, 307, 4.83) | Oklahoma State.
After trying to create a bidding war between the Ravens and the Jaguars for their No. 7 overall draft pick, the Vikings burned themselves, allowing the clock on their pick to run out and dropping two draft slots as a result. DT Kevin Williams’ agent is expected to ask for No. 7 pick money even though the NFL will only award Minnesota No. 9 pick money under the team’s rookie salary pool. The signing bonus difference between the No. 7 and No. 9 overall picks is expected to be around $3 million. The Vikings could be looking at a "Bryant McKinnie" type holdout. Sure, things could still work out, but the Vikings have dug themselves a hole, both in resources and public perception.

10. Baltimore Ravens: Terrell Suggs, DE (6-3¼, 257, 4.77) | Arizona State.
While defensive end/outside linebacker was not one of their biggest needs, the Ravens could not pass up the opportunity to add a super productive pass rusher to their defense. Suggs could wind up starting at strongside linebacker in the Ravens’ 3-4 defense.

11. Seattle Seahawks: Marcus Trufant, CB (5-11, 199, 4.40) | Washington State.
The Seahawks had needs across the board on defense, but they passed over their biggest need (defensive tackle) to take Trufant, sending a message to disgruntled CB Shawn Springs. If Springs shapes up, he’ll start opposite CB Ken Lucas or Trufant. If not, Seattle is now in a position to trade Springs. Meanwhile, Seattle bolstered their defensive tackle position by trading for Saints sluggish DT Norman Hand on Day 2 of the draft.

12. St. Louis Rams: Jimmy Kennedy, DT (6-4, 324, 5.20) | Penn State.
After division rival Seattle nabbed Trufant, the player the Rams really wanted/needed, St. Louis opted to bolster their defensive line by taking Kennedy, who is a great hedge against DT Damione Lewis and his recurring foot injuries.

13. New York Jets (from Washington): Ty Warren, DT (6-4½, 307, 5.05) | Texas A&M.
New York’s draft was impacted by them not willing to trade up into the top 4. The Jets picked what they considered to be the last top defensive tackle in this draft. While Warren is a reach here considering he was slowed by injuries last year, his selection allows New York to place a DT alongside Jason Ferguson who can provide run support as well as rush the passer.

14. Chicago Bears (from Buffalo via New England): Michael Haynes, DE (6-3½, 285, 4.75) | Penn State.
The Bears’ loss of OLB Rosevelt Colvin via free agency compelled Chicago to bolster its pass rush. They made the safe pick in Haynes, who can rush the passer but holds up even better against the run.

15. Philadelphia Eagles (from San Diego): Jerome McDougle, DE (6-1½, 264, 4.66) | Miami.
The Eagles needed to replace DE Hugh Douglas, who signed a free agent deal with Jacksonville. McDougle’s pass rushing ability should get him into the Eagles’ defensive end rotation immediately.

16. Pittsburgh Steelers (from Kansas City): Troy Polamalu, SS (5-10, 205, 4.35) | USC.
The Steelers traded up to get their man – Polamalu – who will add speed and hitting ability to their weak secondary.

17. Arizona Cardinals (from New Orleans): Bryant Johnson, WR (6-2¼, 215, 4.50) | Penn State.
The Cardinals traded down to no man’s land and reached for WR Bryant Johnson to fill a major need. Johnson has talent and should develop into a reliable target, but he lacks top end speed. Although Johnson will start, the Cardinals will wind up paying first round money to a second round player.

18. Arizona Cardinals (from Miami via New Orleans): Calvin Pace, DE (6-4, 267, 4.68) | Wake Forest.
While Pace is another reach for the Cardinals, he was a fast rising prospect who was unlikely to be available when Arizona was expected to pick again. So, by not selecting DE Terrell Suggs and trading down, the Cardinals believe they still secured a quality defensive end prospect in Pace and a quality wide receiver in Bryant Johnson. Both are expected to start.

19. Chicago Bears (from New England): Kyle Boller, QB (6-3, 234, 4.60) | California.
It was figured the Boller would go to the Ravens with the #10 pick, but when Suggs became available at #10 the Ravens took Suggs leaving Boller still on the board. The Bears figured to take Grossman with this pick, but get a better quarterback at #19 in Boller.

20. Denver Broncos: George Foster, OT (6-5, 333, 5.23) | Georgia.
With no defensive end worthy of their pick, the Broncos opted to strengthen their weak offensive line by selecting massive OT George Foster, whose wrist injury doesn’t seem to concern Denver.

21. Cleveland Browns: Jeff Faine, C (6-2¼, 303, 4.98) | Notre Dame.
After proclaiming that the Browns had a replacement (C/OG Melvin Fowler) for salary cap casualty C Dave Wohlabaugh, Cleveland HC Butch Davis decided to select C Jeff Faine anyway. Iowa OG Eric Steinbach, whom some believe could move to tackle within a year, would have filled the Browns’ offensive line needs better.

22. New York Jets: Boss Bailey, LB (6-3, 233, 4.38) | Georgia.
The Jets add athleticism to their aging linebacking corp with Bailey. Some thought the Jets would look at cornerback, Andre Woolfolk of Oklahoma here, or Florida wide-out, Taylor Jacobs. It is expected that Bailey will compete for the starting Strong-Side Linebacker position with newly acquired free agent, Hannibal Navies.

23. Buffalo Bills (from Atlanta): Willis McGahee, RB (6-0¼, 225, 4.46 [pre knee injury]) | Miami.
Bills HC Greg Williams claimed that McGahee was the top prospect on their draft board. Still, the selection of McGahee is a surprise considering the number of defensive needs Buffalo has. With the presence of incumbent starting RB Travis Henry, Buffalo will allow McGahee’s knee to continue to heal during the 2003 season. McGahee should be ready to challenge for the starting job in 2004, setting up a trade scenario for Henry next year.

24. Indianapolis Colts: Dallas Clark, TE (6-3½, 253, 4.58) | Iowa.
The Colts shunned defensive help in the first round and chose to add a fast, pass-catching tight end to their receiving corps. Indianapolis selects Clark over Tennessee TE Jason Witten, whose receiving ability and quickness was questioned by the Colts.

25. New York Giants: William Joseph, DT (6-5, 308, 5.05) | Miami.
The Giants really needed to add a top-notch defensive end, but they deemed that none of the remaining prospects were worthy of their pick. So, they selected Miami DT William Joseph instead. Joseph will be a valuable rotation lineman this season and provide a valuable hedge against DT Keith Hamilton’s recurring Achilles’ tendon problems.

26. San Francisco 49ers: Kwame Harris, OT (6-7, 308, 5.12) | Stanford.
The 49ers stopped Harris’ drop down the first round and in the process found a massive replacement for aging starter OLT Derrick Deese.

27. Kansas City Chiefs (from Pittsburgh): Larry Johnson, RB (6-1, 228, 4.50) | Penn State.
Considering their needs on defense, the Chiefs’ selection of RB Larry Johnson signaled their concern over the timetable for RB Priest Holmes’ (hip) recovery. Also factoring into the Chiefs decision was Holmes’ demand for a new contract. While Johnson lacks Holmes’ speed, he has power and good receiving skills and will be a worthy replacement for Holmes, if it comes to that.

28. Tennessee Titans: Andre Woolfolk, CB (6-1 3/8, 197, 4.46) | Oklahoma.
Despite his lack of experience as a cornerback, Woolfolk will challenge for a starting job in Tennessee this year. Given the Titans’ lack of depth at corner, Woolfolk will at least be a No. 3 corner this year.

29. Green Bay Packers: Rex Grossman, QB (6-1, 217, 5.00) | Florida.
Green Bay takes their first shot at grooming a replacement for Hall of Famer, Brett Favre. Although Grossman does not have the arm of Favre, he posses the leadership qualities the Packers are looking for.

30. San Diego Chargers (from Philadelphia): Sammy Davis, CB (5-11½, 186, 4.41) | Texas A&M.
The Chargers addressed their secondary needs over and over in this year’s draft. Davis’ aggressive one-on-one coverage style should make San Diego’s move of CB Ryan McNeil to safety easier to swallow.

31. Oakland Raiders: Nnamdi Asomugha, CB/FS (6-2 3/8, 215, 4.43) | California.
The Raiders went with the athletic and versatile Asomugha to improve their injury riddled secondary.

32. Oakland Raiders (from Tampa Bay): Tyler Brayton, DE/DT (6-6, 277, 4.75) | Colorado.
The Raiders selected Brayton to beef up their pass rush given the age and injury history of DE Trace Armstrong.

Note-Italics represent the changes I feel could have happened had the Jets not made the trade with Chicago.

Jets sign WR Marcus Robinson to one-year contract



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
May 2, 2003

Hempstead, NY - Two weeks after being released by the Chicago Bears, Marcus Robinson has landed with the New York Jets.

The Miami Dolphins also were courting the veteran receiver, but Robinson signed a one-year contract with the Jets on Thursday.

Financial terms were not disclosed.

Robinson had just 21 catches for 244 yards last season after coming off major knee surgery. He was scheduled to make $2.6 million in the final year of his contract and was waived by the Bears on April 16 for salary cap purposes.

"Marcus will provide veteran experience to our receiving corps and he will be one year removed from his knee surgery," said Jets general manager Michael Marra. "Our experience with players coming off surgery is that in the second year they seem to be able to get back to the level of performance thet were playing at before the surgery. If that is the case with Marcus, this will be a really nice addition for us."

Robinson owns the Bears record for receiving yards in a season with 1,400 in 1999, but he was beset by knee injuries in 2000 and 2001, forcing him to miss 15 of 32 games.

A 1997 fourth-round draft pick out of South Carolina, Robinson has 187 catches for 2,695 yards in 51 games with the Bears.

[mmarra82]

My attempt was to recreate Jets history, however, in order to keep the game competitive I attempted to strengthen the teams that were affected by the Jets moves as well.

Marvin Jones was released and signed to Green Bay who took QB Rex Grossman instead of first round draft choice Nick Barrett of Oregon State. I also signed Hannibal Navies who was signed by the NFL Pack in 2003. So Green Bay came up a LB short for overall roster spots, but the received a much needed boost in the middle from Jones.

Mo Lewis was released and signed to Dallas. LB Al Singleton went to the Cowboys in the 2003 season, however, in my goal to make the Jets younger I signed Singleton instead. The Cowboys in turn got a better LB in Lewis.

In order to not be bogged down by Curtis Conway's contract, he went to Baltimore, who needed a receiver, therefore, that freed up Robinson who I signed.

Since I did not allow Washington to sign Chad Morton, I signed Michael Bates to handle Kick Return duties for the 'Skins.

Changes in the Draft:
Baltimore only had one first round draft choice, I did not want to trade future draft picks, because there is no way to do it in the game. The Ravens stayed with Suggs as there only selection.

Chicago, who received two first round picks in the New England trade used the first one on DE Michael Haynes, and the second one on a quarterback, since Boller was rated higher, they took him over Grossman.

That left Green Bay to pass on OLB Neil Barrett of Oregon and select QB Rex Grossman.

In the second round, Detroit no longer has Boss Bailey on the board so they select OLB Neil Barrett of Green Bay.

With the 21st pick in the second round the Jets fill a need with WR Tyrone Calico. This effects Tennessee's selection, so they take the next highest rated receiver, Brandon Lloyd.

The third round, the Jets had the 11th pick (compensation from the Coles deal) they select LB Victor Hobson, who was not rated as high as I had hoped. Baltimore gets there QB with the 13th pick, former Michigan QB, Drew Henson.

There were a couple of other minor changes as well, but nothing to speak of.

New York Jets at Tampa Bay Buccanears

New York Jets 0 0 0 3 - 3
Tampa Bay 7 6 7 0 - 20

The New York Jets opened the preseason against the defending Champions, Tampa Bay. The Jets were totally outplayed, losing 20-3. Pennington and the Jets' offense was dismal, held to just 146 total yards in offense. Pennington completed 13 of 24 passes for 97 yards. Pennington was the Jets leading rusher with 15 yards.

The Bucs ran at will against the Jets. Pittman and Stecker combined for 171 yards on the ground. Quarterback Brad Johnson completed 13 of 15 passes for 105 yards. About the only downside to the Bucs day was 3 turnovers which allowed the Jets to hang around.

Player of the Game was Simeon Rice. Rice finished with 3 tackles, 3 assist, 2.5 sacks, 2 pass blocks and 1 qb hurry.

The Jets continue there preseason next week at home against Cincinnati.

Cincinnati at New York Jets

Cincinnati 0 0 7 3 - 10
New York 0 7 7 0 - 14


The New York Jets eeked out a win over the Cincinnati Bengals by a score of 14-10. The Jets started many reserves in this one and played "OK," according to Coach McGregor.

The Jets were led on offense by Lamont Jordan who had the opportunity to carry the ball 19 times, for 79 yards and a touchdown. Sixth round draft choice, Brooks Bollinger surprised many when he came in mid way through the second quarter firing. Bollinger completed 15 of 24 passes for 123 yards. Bollinger through a beautiful long ball to Marcus Robinson that went for 56 yards but was called back for an ineligible receiver downfield. Bollinger is battling with Jamie Martin for the third quarterback position.

On defense the team was led by Sam Cowart who is flourishing at Middle Linebacker, Cowart finished the game with 12 tackles and his second interception of the preseason. First round draft choice, Boss Bailey recorded a sack and knocked down two of Carson Palmer's passes to help the defense bounce back from the thumping they took a week ago at Tampa.

The are home for New Orleans next week.

[mmarra82]

New Orleans at New York

New Orleans 7 3 7 3 - 20
New York 7 7 0 3 - 17


The Jets looked sharp to start the game with Pennington at the helm. The team took their first two drives of the game in for touchdowns. Then Pennington handed the reins to Jamie Martin, who is competing for a roster spot. Martin completed 18 of 31 passes for 130 yards, but was intercepted 3 times. New Orleans converted one of the Jets turnovers for points, a late first half field goal, but the backbreaker was Victor Green's interception return for a 78 yard touchdown, and New Orleans first lead of the game, 17-14. The two would exchange late game field goals, and New Orleans held on for the victory.

On defense, the Jets played the run well, holding New Orleans to an average of 3.1 yards per carry. Overall, New Orleans had 249 yards in total offense. Rookie Defensive Tackle, Ty Warren had 6 tackles and 1.5 sacks for the game. Sam Cowart led the team with 13 tackles. The Jets visit the New York Giants next week.

New York Jets at New York Giants

NY Jets 14 0 14 3 - 31
NY Giants 0 13 0 7 - 20

The New York Jets came out and beat up their cross-town rivals, the Giants by a score of 31-20. The Jets looked sharp early, especially Pennington, who completed 12 of 14 passes for 93 yards and 2 touchdowns. Bollinger continued his surprising play, completing 11 of 13 passes for 91 yards and 1 touchdown. Chad Morton got the his most work since USC, carrying the ball 16 times for 64 yards. Rookie wide out Tyrone Calico caught 8 balls for 74 yards.

The defense held the Giants to 337 yards, unfortunately the Giants did have a set back, Kerry Collins while attempting to throw a pass was hit and dislocated his elbow. Collins is expected to miss at least the first half of the season.

The Jets conclude their preseason next week in Philadelphia.

[mmarra82]

New York at Philadelphia

New York 0 14 3 0 - 17
Philadelphia 13 7 7 6 - 33

The Jets concluded their preseason in Philadelphia with a thump. The Eagles dominated the Jets in all areas of play with a 33-17 victory. This could have been worst, had the Eagles not pulled Donovan McNabb midway through the second quarter with the score 20-0. McNabb played sensational completing 13 of 17 passes for 137 yards and 3 touchdowns.

The Jets did get to within 6 before the first half came to an end. The Jets drove 80 yards for a touchdown shortly before the end of the half. Pennington made some nice throws, and Lamont Jordan grinded out tough yards, capped by a 4-yard touchdown. Jacoby Shepherd intercepted Eagles' quarterback, AJ Feeley and returned it 82 yards for a touchdown when it appeared that the Eagles were about to make the score 27-7.

The Jets came out in the second half and looked flat once again, as the Eagles controlled the line of scrimmage and stifled the Jets, sending them home with a 2-3 preseason for Ed McGregor's first preseason as a head coach in the NFL.

Coach McGregor said, "We did some good things this summer, however, as you can all see, we need to improve in several areas to win games in this league."

The Jets received some bad news following the game. Rookie OLB Boss Bailey tore tendons in his thumb and is expected to be out the first half of the season. Other than some players who are a little nicked up, the team is ready to open the NFL season up in Washington.

[mmarra82]

Many players in the NFL feel that the preseason should be shortened a game because of injuries, in otherwise meaningless games. However, coaches and owners say it is a nice way to evaluate younger players, and give them experience.

I wonder what Chicago's coach, Brenden Hoffman feels about the NFL preseason. Hoffman lost the Bears' quarterback of the future, Kyle Boller for the season with a torn rotator cuff on his throwing shoulder. "Kyle Boller is recovering from surgery to his throwing shoulder, we expect Kyle to make a full recovery and lead the Bears in the 2004 season." It is uncertain yet, whether Boller's injury is a career threatening injury.

Arizona lost RG Chris Dishman for 9 weeks with a broken fibula.
Cincinnati's first round draft choice, and number 1 overall, Carson Palmer will be out 4-6 weeks with a broken Tibia.
Cleveland lost FL Andre Davis for 6 weeks with a stress fracture to his leg.
Dallas lost newly acquired FB Richie Anderson for the season with a knee injury that required reconstructive surgery.
Denver lost reserve guard Steve Herndon for 13 weeks with a hamstring injury.
Houston lost starting TE Billy Miller for the season with MCL Knee Surgery.
Jacksonville lost rookie FS Rashean Mathis for 10-12 weeks with a severe ankle sprain.
Minnesota lost starting QB Duante Culpepper for 2 months with a dislocated elbow.
The New York Giants lost QB Kerry Collins for 2 months with the same injury as Culpepper. The Giants also lost guard Rich Seubert for the season with a ruptured elbow tendon.
Pittsburgh lost Receiver Plaxico Burress for the season when he had to have reconstructive knee surgery.


Teams must trim there rosters to 53 players for opening day next week.

[mmarra82]

The Jets trimmed their roster to the league requirement, 53 players.

The Jets released Defensive Tackle, James Reed. Reed a 7th round draft choice in 2001 never developed in his two seasons with the Jets.

The Jets also, released WR Kevin Swayne. Swayne who has been with the team since 2001 was a standout in the Arena League before signing with the Jets as a free agent.

The Jets also released QB Jamie Martin. Martin was brought in with the opportunity to battle for the third string position with Rookie Brooks Bollinger. Martin was who played in only one preseason game this season, against New Orleans in the rain threw three interceptions. The 33-year old Martin said he appreciated the opportunity to compete for a roster spot and felt confident he would find work elsewhere by season's end.

The Jets placed LB Boss Bailey on the inactive roster. Bailey is recovering from a torn thumb ligament and is expected to play later in the season.

Around the League
Division Favorites (based on preseason power ratings).

AFC North
Could this be the year that Cincinnati finally breaks out of the cellar, and even wins the division? It is possible. Jon Kitna (47 rating) had a wonderful off-season and is ready to be the starting quarterback for the struggling franchise. The running game features Dillon (54) and Rudi Johnson (59), along with a passing game of Kitna to Johnson (57), Warrick (49) and rookie Kelley Washington (32). The offensive line is solid lead by the center, Braham (75) and tackle Anderson (91). Defensively they look for DE Justin Smith (49) to break out along with solid play from DT Williams (66), LB Brian Simmons (60) and MLB Kevin Hardy (64) who came in to replace departed Takeo Spikes. Baltimore and Pittsburgh should battle for second place, however, neither appears to be strong enough to make it to the playoffs this season. Baltimore is led by Rookie QB Drew Henson (19) who will take some time to adjust to the speed of the NFL. Jamal Lewis (70) is coming off of knee surgery and has to attempt to carry the load for this team. The receivers just are not good, making it easy for teams to key on emerging TE Todd Heap (57). Defensively Ray Lewis (64) and Peter Boulware (70) lead the charge, however it is thin after that. Pittsburgh has a nice group of LB’s, Farrior (60), Bell (54), Gildon (67) and Porter (77), however not much else. Maddox (20) appears to have been a one-year wonder, and was beat out by journeyman Charlie Batch (25). Bettis (38) is on the downside of his career and is not starting material anymore. Look for Zereoue (35) to get his share of carries this season. They will have Ward (79) as there only throwing option since Burress (49) went down with a season ending knee injury. Look for the defense to be Pittsburgh’s only chance. Cleveland is a mess right now, their O-Line is weak with the exception of Verba (47) and rookie center Jeff Faine (39). Couch (30), who has struggled in his four previous seasons, will be looking to get rid of the ball quickly and take advantage of deep threats Johnson (42) and Morgan (51). Their starting LB’s have a combined rating of 86, that is for all three of them. There run D is going to fall heavy on the D-Line who has a good pair of run stuffers in Warren (40) and Roye (42).

AFC South
The South appears to be a two-team race, Indianapolis and Tennessee, no surprise here. Indianapolis is loaded on the offense side of the ball, Manning (84), James (74), Harrison (77), and Pollard at TE (76) should provide plenty of explosion. Manning should have time to throw with an O-Line that is excellent at pass blocking. The only weakness could be if Indy has to run inside, there guards just are not that good. The defense should be able to apply pressure to the quarterback, second year DE Dwight Freeney (38) and Chad Bratzke (60) are good pass rushers, and the LB’s can contain the run with Washington (48) and Morris (56). Tennessee is a good team but is missing a few pieces to the puzzle. McNair (83) does not have much to work with right now. George (38) is showing his age and as a result will back up rookie Christopher Brown (35). The receivers are good, with Mason (55) and Bennett (41) and TE Frank Wycheck (45), the passing game will need to be sharp to carry the Titans over the Colts. The Titans lack the ability to stop the run right now. Young DT’s Haynesworth (38) and Long (49) are still raw, but the Titans should be solid against the pass, with the pass rushing skills of Kearse(45) and Carter (51), and the ability to shut down receivers with Rolle (69) and Schulters (84) Indy will have to get through Tennessee to win the division. Jacksonville will continue their rebuilding process First round selection Byron Leftwich (25) has looked sharp in the preseason and will be leading the offense when he is ready after having some problems with a sore knee. Veteran Mark Brunell (46) will begin the season as the starter. Defensivly they should be sound with the signings of Hugh Douglas (84), to apply pressure and against the run with stuffing MLB Mike Peterson (69). The expansion Houston Texans enter their second season led by quarterback David Carr (35) and have added some talent to help Carr out. Houston drafted wide out, Andre Johnson (39) who is a burner and will be the deep threat that quarterbacks love to have. They still need to address their O-line that allowed Carr to be sacked a league high last season. On defense they are solid running a D very similar to Pittsburgh, a 3-4. Houston has the LB’s to do so and the corners to cover, Glenn (81) and Coleman (56). Houston will improve on their win total but will probably finish last once again.

AFC East
Miami is the clear favorite in the East this season. Miami possesses the best talent in the league on defense. They have arguably the best combined DE’s in Taylor (83) and Burnett (76), leaders at LB with Zach Thomas (78) and future Hall-of-Famer, Junior Seau (60) and the stongest secondary in the league with corners Madison (75) and Surtain (90), and safeties Knight (71) and Marion (58). If Miami can find a way to put some points on the board the road to the AFC Crown goes through Miami. Offensively Fielder (44) has perhaps the toughest inside runner in Ricky Williams (76). Williams can carry the ball 25-30 times per game, he has that kind of endurance. Miami has the make up to do it, they must get through the season strong from start to finish, something they have struggled with in the past. New England looks to rebound from a disappointing season and get back to the post-season. This is Brady’s (49) second full season as the starter and he still has a lot of development left (Brady’s future – 69). New England finds ways to move the ball through the air and on the ground. Smith (48) at the age of 31 can still carry the load when New England needs to grind it out. New England will also, rely on their short passing game and depth at receivers to move the football. On defense New England will use a 3-4 with a lot of blitzing, and moving around of players. Newly acquired safety Rodney Harrison (78) replaces Lawyer Milloy (68) who was surprisingly let go before the preseason. The Jets are led by Chad Pennington (38), who enters his first full season as the team’s starter. Pennington’s spark helped lead the team to the East crown for the first time since 1998. Martin (63) is still solid at RB, but the firing of the front office and the departure of G Thomas (45) and Coles (54) to Washington leaves this team reeling. Mawae (70) is an all-pro at center, but the guards are rated as the worst in the league. New York is rated near the middle is most categories and that leads you to believe this team is just mediocre. Buffalo enters its second season in the Drew Bledsoe (57) era, and Buffalo is beginning to see that Bledsoe is on the downside of his career. Bledsoe has been battling off field demons during the off season, the latest being a battle with severe depression. He just does not have any strength left to throw the deep ball, and the receiving corp is without Peerless Price (72) who was is now with Atlanta. Moulds (59) still can go over the middle and get it, but it will be difficult for him to repeat the numbers he had with Price lined up on the same side of the ball. On defense the team looked to improve through free agency, bringing in DT Sam Adams (47), LB Takeo Spikes (69), and safety Lawyer Milloy (68) these additions should help..

AFC West
This division could be the most competitive division in football. Kansas City, Denver and Oakland make this a three-team race while San Diego looks to improve and perhaps get them out of the cellar. Kansas City was perhaps the most explosive team on offense last season but could not make a stop on D, this off-season they addressed some of their defensive needs and have upgraded their D, although they are still vulnerable. Kansas City was relieved to get the news that RB Priest Holmes has recovered from his injury and is at 100%. Holmes (83) is the best all around back in football right now. Holmes will get many touches this season while first round pick Larry Johnson (54) waits for his chance. Trent Green (55) begins his third season with the Chiefs and enjoys his weapons, Holmes, Gonzalez (71), and Kennison (54). Special teams will contribute as well; Kansas City has the best return man in the game, Dante Hall (rated 92 and 91 in Kick and Punt Returns). Denver has made yet another quarterback change. Free agent Jake Plummer (52) joins the Broncos after many almost seasons with Arizona. Denver possesses perhaps the most explosive running back in the league in Clinton Portis (59). Portis was a big surprise last season, and now that defenses are aware of him it should be interesting to see what he can do with a season of experience. Portis gets to run behind one of the better lines in football and Plummer gets to throw to veteran TE Shannon Sharpe (82), and wideout Rod Smith (63). On defense the Broncos have a solid DL led by DE Trevor Pryce (75) and linebackers Mobely (68), Wilson (74), and Gold (43) to anchor an average defense that hopes to make enough plays to help Denver into the playoffs. The defending AFC Champions look to rebound from their miserable performance in the Super Bowl, however, the oldest team in football (28.1 years old) has many question marks. Can Gannon (49) find that magic one more season with Brown (41), Rice (43), Porter (51) and Garner (66)? The O-line is led by Barret Robins (65) who has overcome his off field problems to protect the aging Gannon. Oakland’s strength on defense is without a doubt their secondary, corners Woodson (65), Shaw (40), Buchanon (37), and the first round draft choice Nnamdi Asomugha (33) and safeties Woodson (85) and Dorsett (50) make it difficult for anyone to throw against them. San Diego goes with Drew Brees (24)over veteran quarterback Doug Flutie (33) for the season. Brees is in the last year of his contract any many are saying that if the team does not see improvement Brees will not be made an offer. Tomlinson (63) continues to demonstrate his all around abilities like his division counter mate Priest Holmes. Opponents can expect a heavy dose of Tomlinson, especially when there is little else.

[mmarra82]

NFC North
Green Bay comes in as the early favorites in an otherwise weak division. The Pack is led by the one and only Brett Favre (76), although he still is missing some playmakers that he so desperately needs, Favre continues to put up excellent numbers. Favre does have a perhaps the best running back in the NFC in Ahman Green (76). Green can do it all for the Pack, he can run in and outside as well as catch the ball. Green is emerging as the dominate player on Green Bay. Gone on defense is DE Vonnie Holiday, which hurts this team. Holiday provided the solid all around play that is now going to have to be found through his replacement, Gbaja-Biamila (32) who does not measure up to Holiday. Green Bay has veterans in Marvin Jones (52) and Darren Sharper (76) to lead the defense and help the Pack contend for the North title. Detroit looks to surprise many. Second year coach, Tracy Wade has tightened the reins on the Lions and has them ready to compete every week. Second year quarterback, Joey Harrington (29) had a superb preseason, and with the addition of first round draft pick, Charles Rogers (51) the Lions look to develop a potent passing attack for years to come. The defense is a veteran group led by DE Robert Porcher (67). If the group can stay healthy and Harrington continues to develop the Lions could be the darlings of the NFC. Minnesota had a major setback in the preseason when quarterback Duante Culpepper (44) went down with a dislocated elbow. Culpepper will miss the first two months of the season. That leaves veteran quarterback Gus Frerotte (17) to get the ball to the volatile Randy Moss (89). Moss could be the best player in the game. The Vikes have what appear to be an explosive group of RB’s in Michael Bennett (55) and rookie Onterrio Smith (54). Smith has the ability to be a threat catching the ball, but running with it remains to be seen. The O-line is anchored by center Matt Birk (56) and tackle Bryant McKinnie (53), who looks to improve from last year’s rookie season. During the off-season Minnesota focused on revamping their D, and they did do that. The additions of linebacker Chris Claiborn (54) and rookie EJ Henderson (42) along with CB Denard Walker (49) from Tennessee could be enough to get Minnesota back to the top of the division if the Pack stumble and Frerotte can hold the ship together until Culpepper returns. Two years ago Chicago surprised everyone with their run to the playoffs, however, that seems like a long time ago. Chicago had a horrendous season last year, and look to rebound back to respectability. Chicago looked good early in the preseason, primarily because of the spark provided by rookie quarterback Kyle Boller (16). However, Boller went down with a season ending shoulder injury and veteran Chris Chandler (25) looks to lead the Bears. The offense has no weapons at all. The defense can hold its own with the likes of LB Brian Urlacher (76), DE Phillip Daniels (63), and SS Mike Brown (57). However, this is a group that will be on the field a lot, and it will get the best of them.


NFC South
The defending Super Bowl Champions, Tampa heads into the season with the look to repeat. Tampa comes back with 19 out of last year’s 22 starters, led by quarterback Brad Johnson (56). Tampa was unable to upgrade their running back position so Pittman (53) will get the nod once again. The O-Line is good, which should give Johnson plenty of time to find K.Johnson (46) and McCardell (43) along with TE Dilger (53). The D-Line features DE Simeon Rice (75), Warren Sapp (75) and up and coming Anthony McFarland (63). This could be the last season McFarland is under the guidance of Sapp who will become a free agent. Linebackers Quarles (60) and Brooks (75) along with CB Barber (78) and Kelly (63) and safety John Lynch (75) make this defense the best in football. The road to the NFC crown goes through Tampa Bay. Carolina has built a defensive line that could be the cornerstone of the franchise’s future. Last year Julius Peppers (56) tore up the league before his season came to an abrubt halt. Peppers has the potential to be the best DE in the league. On the other side Mike Rucker (65) and DT Kris Jenkins (68) give the Panthers the presence to stop any offense. On offense the Panthers added RB Stephen Davis (65). Look for the Panthers to grind it out this season in slugfest style football. Atlanta looks to improve on their run to the playoffs last season that saw them end Green Bay’s perfection at home during the playoffs. Michael Vick (34) is explosive, and as he develops the Falcons will find themselves further into the playoffs. Atlanta made the switch to a 3-4 defense in attempt to be more aggressive and take advantage of the speed they possess on the defensive side of the ball. But right now Atlanta will be battling Carolina and New Orleans for second place with neither team making it to the post season. New Orleans decision to trade Ricky Williams and go with Deuce McAllister (57) seems like the right move now. McAllister is ready to be considered one of the top backs in the league after his performance last season. However, pressure will fall on Brooks (19) who has failed to develop into the quarterback the Saints envisioned a few seasons ago.

NFC East
The NFC East appears to go through Philly once again. McNabb (50) and company look to avenge the last two seasons in which they lost the NFC Championship Game. Philly still does not appear to have the weapons that McNabb needs to score a lot of points but the defense appears to have a lot of tools despite Hugh Douglas’ departure during free agency. Philly brought in Marco Coleman (75) to replace Douglas at end, Philly also drafted DE Jerome McDougle (57) who is a good looking pass rusher. DT Corey Simon (59) gives the Eagles the inside presence they need with a weak MLB. Philly’s secondary is good, led by CB Troy Vincent (73). Vincent is one of the top corners in the league going one on one. On the other side of Vincent they have Bobby Taylor (76) and at FS Brian Dawkins (73). Philly needs to make this year count, both Taylor and Vincent are playing in the last year of their current contract, and if Philly was willing to let Douglas get away one wonders if they will keep their corners who have become the main reason Philly’s defense succeeds. Dallas does not appear to be as bad off as expected. QB Quincy Carter (34) has developed slowly but has a nice up side. Hambrick (51) replaces the NFL’s all-time leading rusher, Emmit Smith, and gets to run behind a decent line led by LG Larry Allen (86). Wideouts Galloway (75), Glenn (58) and rookie TE Jason Witten (34) will give the Cowboys options with their passing game. Defense is where the ‘Boys are at their best, starting on the D-Line with Ellis (60) and Glover (87) to the safeties Woodson (87) and Williams (42), this could give Dallas their best chance to finish out of the cellar compared to the past few seasons. The Giants come in looking to avenge last season’s wild card lost to SanFrancisco. However, the task will not be easy. The Giants are without quarterback Kerry Collins (67) for the first two months of the season after he dislocated his elbow. The Giants will rely on Jesse Palmer (14), Tiki Barber (76), Jeremy Shockey (65), and Amani Toomer (54) to provide the offense. Veterans, Strahan (80), Hamilton (57), and Barrow (67) look to lead the defense and perhaps get the Giants back to the playoffs. Washington begins the Patrick Ramsey (22) era, and Ramsey will have plenty of opportunity to prove himself. Washington let Stephen Davis go during the offseason to replace him with the speed running of Trung Canidate (33). The money they saved by not retaining Davis allowed them to pick up guard Randy Thomas (45) to go along with tackle Chris Samuels (52) and spend money on wide receiver Laverneus Coles (54) to play along side Rod Gardner (52). On defense the Redskins have playmakers LaVar Arrington (67) and cornerback Champ Bailey (87). Bailey is in the last year of his current contract and by the looks of Washington’s cap for next year the ‘Skins will have a tough time retaining Bailey. Washington fans, do not expect much from the new look ‘Skins.


NFC West
This could shape up to be the best race in the NFC. Seattle and St. Louis appear to have the pieces of the puzzle to make this a fun division to watch. Seattle comes in with a little bit of shakeup, they give the nod at QB to Trent Dilfer (53) over Matt Hasselbeck (37). Their backfield consists of Shaun Alexander (56), and 2nd year back Maurice Morris (39) who provides a nice change of pace from Alexander. Either way their back gets to run behind FB Mack Strong (64), tackle Walter Jones (71) and a good offensive line. The receiving corp of Robinson (62), Engram (50), Jackson (37) along with TE Mili (58) gives the Seattle offense plenty of options. To strengthen their secondary they drafted CB Marcus Trufant (33) to play under veterans Willlie Williams (65) and Shawn Springs (55), along with SS Reggie Tongue (57) and FS Doug Evans (53). Seattle will need their secondary to shut down the passing game of St. Louis if they want to win the West. St. Louis looks to rebound after a disappointing season. The weapons on offense are still there. Warner (47) will have plenty to work with this season. Although his rating is not as high as in years past, Warner is still the man in St.Louis. Marshall Faulk (69) enters his 10th season as perhaps the most talented all around back in the league. His breakaway speed is down, but do not count him out. Warner has the emerging superstar Torry Holt (67) and the consistency of Isaac Bruce (49) to work with along with a line that has the bookend tackles, Pace (85) and Turley (70). The defense looks towards FS Aeneas Williams (73) to provide the plays to lead the Rams back to the playoffs. San Francisco comes in with a team that will need to score a lot of points. Garcia (44) will have to make the most out of throwing to Terrell Owens (70), and TE Jed Weaver (45). Veteran Garrison Hearst (50) figures to get most of the carries behind a good line. On defense the Niners are missing a pass rusher, and therefore the secondary of Rumph (27), Plummer (55), Parrish (89) and Broson (46) will have to bring their “A” game week in and week out. Poor Arizona looked to make some moves during the off season, but all that happened is that they ended up with retreads, sorry Emmitt.

We lost a game in which we made a lot of mistakes. The biggest ones, penalties, and special teams.

On special teams Brien missed two field goals, including one with :23 seconds left, giving the ball back to Washington, who drove enough yards to kick a game winner. Also, allowed Washington to return the opening kickoff for a touchdown.

Players whose performances stood out, Hannibal Navies, starting for injured rookie, Boss Bailey. Navies had 9 tackles, and defended one pass. John Abraham had 1 sack, and 2 hurries, Curtis Martin had 141 total yards of offense and Chad Morton returned a kickoff for a touchdown, already proving his case that he was worth the money to keep. We came out of the game without an injury as we prepare for Miami's visit.

Miami won their opener 20-17 over Houston. The key matchup will be Miami's running game. Ricky Williams comes off a 126 yard rushing performance, Miami rushed the ball a total of 39 times for an average over 5 yards per carry. The Jets held Washington to an average of 2.82 yards per carry.

Hempstead, NY - Despite the changes in the Jets' front office the team is off to a slow, 0-2 start. After flat losses to Washington and Miami the Jets find themselves in a must win situation in Week 3 in which the travel to face the Patriots.

The Jets have lacked the fire that sent them to the Divisional round of playoff last season. Last season under quarterback Chad Penninton the team reeled off 8 wins in the final 11 games, followed by a wooping of the Indianapolis Colts, only to be followed by a loss in Oakland for the second consecutive season. Pennington, who has been compared to the likes of Namath and Montana, appears to be the team's franchise, and under Pennington the team is looking to make changes that will grow with their young budding superstar. However, in two games this season the team has looked confused, making mental mistakes that have been costly.

Many look at the Jets as a team that will need time to adapt to their new coaching staff, while others mumble, "same 'ol Jets."

[mmarra82]

Hempstead, NY - At Coach Ed McGregor's weekly press conference he stressed a sense of urgency for his team as they get set to head to New England to play their division rivals, the Patriots. McGregor stated that the team is going to need to eliminate any mental mistakes to win this ball game.

In two weeks the Jets have committed 3 turnovers while forcing none, they have had costly penalties, given up a kickoff return for a touchdown, and missed a field goal that gave Washington field position to quickly move in and win in week one.

McGregor says that Bailey has been listed as questionable for this week's game, however, he will still be listed on the inactive roster. Pennington will start and is expected to play the entire game, despite sore ribs from a shot he took by Miami's defensive end, Jason Tayor.

Offensively the Jets just have not moved the ball through the first two week. Moss, Coles replacement, has managed 8 receptions for a mere 100 yards. With Moss' explosiveness the Jets are looking towards Moss to stretch the field to open up underneath for Chrebet and Becht. Second round draft pick, Tyrone Calico, who was brought in to start at the SE position has just one catch for 10 yards as Chrebet's backup.

On defense, which was a concern for the Jets, they have given up just 537 yards to their opponents in two games, however, the Jets have caused no turnovers. The Jets need Cowart and John Abraham to make some big plays and be the difference makers that McGregor sees them as.

New England comes in at 1-1. Last season they fell short of making the playoffs, just one year after winning the Super Bowl. The Pats feel they have improved their D, which struggled against the run, with the addition of Ted Washington and moving Seymour to the DE position. Rookie Dwayne Robertson figures to add to the Pats pass rush. Offensively Brady looks to continue his improvement, and against this Jets team, the Pats can cause problems with their quick passing game.

The Jets let yet another one get away. Up 17-10, midway through the 3rd quarter the Patriots went on to score 16 unanswered points in route to a 26-17 victory. The Patriots win moved them to 2-1 while the Jets now sit at the bottom of the AFC East at 0-3.

The highlight for the Jets was Santana Moss. Moss his is trying to emerge as the Jets #1 receiver with Coles moving on, caught 6 passes for 123 yards as the Jets threw for 279 yards. However, the rushing game of the Jets was non-existent. The Jets were led by Curtis Martin and his 43 yards, while the rest of the team rushed for 30 more.

Tom Brady had his way with the Jets' secondary, completing 22 of 34 passes for 275 yards and 2 touchdowns. Sam Cowart finished with 7 tackles, and 6 assists in the losing cause.

Jets rookie Fullback, B.J. Askew was injured in his first start and is listed as doubtful with a hyperextended elbow. Linebacker, Sam Cowart, the Jets leading tackler, is listed as questionable with a sore groin. The Jets should be without rookie LB, Boss Bailey for another 3 weeks or so.

The Jets come home next week to face the 1-1 Dallas Cowboys.

Hempstead, NY - The New York Jets dropped their fourth straight this past weekend to the Dallas Cowboys by a score of 14-6. This marked the first time since the Rich Kotie disaster of 1996 that the Jets have opened the season 0-4.

The Jets were dismal on offense once again. The Jets have scored just 49 points in the first four games, an average of 12.2 points per outing, dead last in the league. Entering the season the team thought offensively they could compete with anyone, yet Pennington has struggled to get going this season and is in jeopardy of holding a clipboard and watching veteran Vinny Testaverde take the helm. Curtis Martin has struggled as well, his yards per carry has gone down in each game this season.

Defensively the Jets have played ok, however the defense needs to make some plays, and that they have not done thus far. The defense has forced just 1 turnover in 4 games, last in the league.

Special Team has not fared too well, with the exception of the job Chad Morton has done on kick returns, the special teams have struggled. Santana Moss has averaged just 3.3 yards per punt return on 9 tries. Punter Dan Stryzinski is 26th in the league with just a 38.1 yard average per punt, and kicker Doug Brien cost the Jets the Washington game when he missed two field goals.

Coach McGregor is pleased that the Jets have a bye this week. "We are going to use this week to regroup and figure out how to win some ball games, whether that means changing our game plans, or making personell changes will remain to be seen."

Speculation is that McGregor will bench last year's sweetheart, Chad Pennington, who was named the franchise during the offseason, for veteran Vinny Testaverde.

Early in the season and you can begin to here some of the grumblings about the moves the Jets front office has made.

The Jets dropped their fifth straight, and have nearly ended the season for themselves with still eleven games to play. The Jets played a poor game in poor weather in front of their home crowd. The game was filled with boos as the team looked flat and could not get things going.

Veteran wide receiver, Wayne Chrebet stated, "this is as bad as it gets, and I feel responsible. I feel that Chad is taking a lot of heat for the lack of prodcution by the offense, when the fact is we are making no plays to help him."

Coach McGregor tried to sound upbeat following the game, but his face showed the wear and tear that this league can put on an individual. "In all my life I never thought it could be this rough. We are playing with all these teams, however, we can just not find the way to win one of these games. Rest assure, this team's season is far from over. This team will come back next week, upbeat and ready for the next challenge."

The New York Jets are 0-5, and have not started a season like this since the Rich Kotite era. The Jets travel to Houston next week, to face the Texans who are also, 0-5. Someone will get their season started next week, while the other can begin to think of next season.

A look around the league:
Kerry Collins of the New York Giants earned Offensive Player of the Week in his second game back of the season as he threw for 279 yards on 22 of 35 passing. For the Giants it was their first win of the season.

Brett Favre continues to play at a mind boggling 110.9 quarterback rating. Favre has led the Pack to a 5-1 record including 17 touchdown passes.

Jake Plummer has enjoyed a resurgence in his career. Plummer joined the Broncos during the offseason through free agency and in doing so has led the Broncos to a perfect 6-0 record. Plummer is completing nearly 66% of his passes and has a rating over 100 for the season.

Randy Moss seasons has been placed on hold, the All-Pro receiver will be out for at least 6 weeks with a broken jaw. Moss had caught 35 balls in 5 games for 4 touchdown passes.

Colts' defensive back, Walt Harris has been in the right spot at the right time thus far this season. Harris has 6 interceptions in 6 games, returning 1 for a touchdown helping the Colts to a 5-1 record. The Colts offense has been underachieving this season, and for a change we are talking about the play of a Cots' "D" man.

Dennis Northcutt was a human highlight this past week as he led the Browns to a lopsided win over the defending AFC Champions. Northcutt returned to punts back for touchdowns in the Browns 38-15 victory.

Rookie Quarterback Drew Henson has surprised many with his play despite missing the previous two season to pursue a career in baseball. The Ravens liked what they saw in Henson and drafted him in the 3rd round. The move has payed off. To the Ravens surprise Henson quickly adapted to the system and has led the Ravens to a 3-2 record. Henson's development allowed him to replace last year's starter Chris Redmond. A lot of people around the league were surprised when the team passed Kyle Boller and Rex Grossman in the first round and drafted Terrell Suggs with their only first round pick.

That is a look around the league at some of the top stories!

Skid Hits Six

Houston, TX - The New York Jets skid hit six games yesterday when they lost to the Houston Texans 27-10. The Jets were completely outplayed on both sides of the ball by the Texans who got their first victory of the season.

Curtis Martin fumbled the ball two times, as the Jets turned the ball over three times in all to the Texans. Pennington who completed 21 of 33 passes was unable to move the team with any consistency. Coach McGregor announced shortly after the game that the team needs a change and that veteran quarterback Vinny Testaverde will get the call to lead the Jets against the Eagles next week in Philadelphia. Philadelphia who has been struggling this season will welcome the opportunity to play the Jets and get their season back on track.

After the game Chad Pennington responded after learning of the decision, "Obviously I am disappointed that I will not be the starting quarterback next week. I feel as if I have let down my teammates in not delivering this season. I understand why a change is needed and I will do everything I can to help Vinny and the offense get ready for our game with Philadelphia." Pennington looked upset but handled the decision like a professional.

Curtis Martin, who fumbled twice, commented, "Chad looked good out there today, he was throwing well, I put the ball on the ground twice, and he is the one who is suffering for my mistakes. I have not felt this low in my NFL career at anytime, but I am not ready to give up, we will get ready or I will be explaining the reason for our seventh straight loss."

Coach Feels Heat

The Jets staff is beginning to feel the heat after they have stumbled to an 0-6 record. "Things are just not clicking yet," McGregor stated.

The Jets are still in search of their first victory, and this week they travel to Philadelphia who has started off slow, but have shown signs of a team that feels they are contenders this season.

Eleven months ago the Jets were in the process of capping off a season in which they fought back to win the division title under first year quarterback, Chad Pennington. Things were looking up, and then the front office self imploded. GM Terry Bradway and Herm Edwards wanted their contracts ripped up and redone. Owner Woody Johnson balked at the suggestion which resulted in him firing Bradway and Edwards. Johnson brought in General Manager Michael Marra who said the team needed to get younger and build around Pennington. Well, the team has gotten younger, are in good shape with the salary cap. But, Pennington has been relegated to the bench for veteran Vinny Testaverde, and the team is in search of their first victory.

On this weeks radio show, GM Marra stated that the team has accomplished many of their goals, including putting themselves in a "good cap situation," and getting younger and more athletic. However, he also explained how the team is not performing up to where they though they would be. He defended his staff saying that the new staff has a total different scheme on offense and defense and it will take some time and players as well to get the system operating the way McGregor would like.

The staff has been pleased with this year's draft class. Ty Warren has been fairly consistent in the middle of the D-Line while Boss Bailey got his first start this week. Second Round pick, Tyrone Calico, which many considered "too raw," to be selected where he was has contributed, including a 100-yard performance in Houston. McGregor got his big receiver in Calico which he feels will compliment Moss for many years to come. The disappointment on the offense has been the play of the O-Line. Even All-Pro Kevin Mawae seems frustrated with the mistakes the line has made. Pass protection has been weak and the running game has been non-existent. Many times Curtis Martin has been hit behind the line of scrimmage, as he has endured his toughest season, statistically.

On defense the yards against numbers look respectable. However, the Jets have forced just one interception this season and have a mere 10 sacks total. All-Pro DE, John Abraham has managed 1.5 sackes, while Shaun Ellis has 0. The "D" staff is looking to be an aggressive defense that relies on pressure to force turnovers. It has been anything but that. In fact the defense's numbers look to be something that the past regime would have, not allowing the big play. With the release of Mo Lewis, and Marvin Jones the linebacker corp has struggled. Cowart has done a respectable job in the middle, and does shown improvement from week to week at his old position. Singleton, a free agent pickup, has struggled on the weak side. Navies, who was also a free agent pickup, was brought in to play the strong and weak side. Navies has played solid as a starter and in his role of reserve. Marra commented that during the off-season the team would look to add, "playmakers" to the defense.

Based on Marra's comments it already appears that the Jets are looking towards next season.

Philsaster

Philadelphia, PA - The New York Jets struggles hit rock bottom yesterday as the Eagles blew out the Jets, 42-17.

The Jets took the opening drive and marched the lenghth of the field, capped by a Testaverde to Curtis Martin pass from 4 yards out and the Jets taking an early 7-0 lead. But that would be the end of any celebrating for New York. McNabb and the Eagles shredded the Jets, as McNabb converted on 26 of 31 passes for 277 yards and 5 touchdowns. Wide Receiver James Thrash caught 3 of McNabb's touchdown passes.

The Jets made a switch at quarterback after last weeks loss to Houston, but other than the opening drive, the offense continued to sputter. Philadelphia outgained the Jets 440 yards to 187. McGregor did not comment on the quarterback situation after the game, but stated, "We have more to worry about than the quarterback position right now."

The Jets offensive line continued to look horrible, as the Jets were held to 25 yards on the ground on 18 carries. Curtis Martin is on pace for his worst season in the NFL. Martin has compiled 431 yards on 140 carries, a mere 3.1 yards per carry, over a yard less than his career average.

On defense things were not much better. Philadelphia gained 164 yards on the ground, led by Duce Staley's 104. The D could not force any turnovers, and were able to get to McNabb only once all game.

Injuries for the Jets included reserve defensive end, Bryan Thomas. Thomas who made his first start of the season broke his clavicle and is expected to be out 6 weeks.

The Jets are home next week for the New York Giants who are winners of three straight, and are 3-1 since Kerry Collins has been back in the lineup.

Jets Seek Help at O-Line

Hempstead, NY - Coach Ed McGregor spent several hours Monday morning with the Jet hierachy to discuss some changes he felt were necessary. The first change that need to be made was with the offensive line. Right Guard Brent Smith who was brought in during late free agency, and surprised many to earn the starting spot, has been a big disappointment during the regular season and was released.

The Jets combed the free agent wire in search of a guard but few were available. Then while talking with Tackle, Kareem McKenzie's agent, Wade Durham about a contract extension, Durham mentioned that one of his clients, Victor Riley was hoping to land with a team before the season closed out. From there, the team was sent tapes of Riley that were viewed by the offensive line coach, and the Jets felt that Riley could help them this season, however, they asked if he would switch to right guard because they have a right tackle in McKenzie. Riley obliged and was on a plane that night to arrive in New York for his physical and sign a one year contract.

Riley who was a Right Tackle for 6 years with Kansas City was released prior to the start of the regular season. Riley spent most of his career as a starting right tackle, but was replaced last season when the Chiefs dealt for William Roaf, and moved then Left Tackle, John Tait to the right side. Riley who was not happy asked to be released before the preseason. The Chiefs held on to Riley as an insurance policy only to release him when the preseason came to a close.

The Jets have not indicated whether Riley will start this week or not.

Jets Earn First!

East Rutherford, NJ - The New York Jets were the home team at Giants Stadium to face their cross town rivals, the Giants. The Giants came in fresh off a 3 game winning streak while the Jets came in losing 7 straight, including last weeks humiliation at the hands of the Eagles.

The Jets' Special Teams helped them jump out to a 10-0 lead after a Doug Brien field goal, and a punt block that resulted in a Shaun Ellis touchdown. However, it would not take long for the Giants offense to get going.

The Jets had jumped out to a 20-7 halftime lead as they controlled the clock and took advantage of early Giant mistakes. Testaverde looked good in the first half, however, he would struggle in the third quarter, when the Jets could have put the Giants away. Collins and the Giants offense took advantage of this. Kerry Collins played flawless, he completed 30 of 41 passes for 352 yards and a touchdown, and erased the deficit and put the Giants in front midway through the 4th quarter, 28-20.

The Jets, whose offense has sputtered since the second quarter finally showed some signs of life late in the fourth quarter. The Jets would get the ball with 2:04 left on their own 7 yard line. Testaverde would drive the team downfield as his receivers made some tough catches. The Jets', Curtis Martin would be on the receiving end of a 10 yard pass and bringing the Jets within 2, 28-26. Now, the Jets would need a two point conversion to force overtime. They would get that as once again, Martin came down with the ball and drove the defender into the endzone.

In overtime, the Jets would score on just the second play, as Martin took a routine pass out in the flat, broke a couple of touchowns and raced 62 yards for the winning score.

The Jets entered the halfway point at a dismal 1-7.

Upset in Indy

RCA Dome, Indianapolis - The New York Jets came in a dismal 1-8 against the 6-3 Colts. The Colts have not been playing well the past two weeks, as they have dropped games to Miami and Jacksonville. Manning has not looked his usual self, as he has completed just 57% of his passes. Manning, a lifetime 63% passing completion, has been struggling to find his timing as the Colts' offense has gone through many injuries this season. The Jets on the other hand have been struggling since last January when the organization went into a tailspin. Among the pieces at this point is a 1-8 team and there franchise quarterback on the bench behind 40 something Vinny Testaverde.

The Jets knew they were going to have to find a way to score some points to have a chance in this one, and that is just what they did. After the Colts took an early 3-0 lead, Testaverde drove the team down the field and hit rookie fullback, Askew for an 8-yard touchdown. But the big plays were to come, on the ensuing Colts drive the Jets' D held them to a three and out. Cornerback Donnie Abraham got around the corner and blocked Hunter Smith's punt. Al Singleton scooped it up and ran it back to the Colts 19 yard line. Curtis Martin would score a couple plays later and give the Jets the lead. For the Jets it was the type of play the staff has been looking for all season.

The plays would keep coming for the Jets as they would intercept Peyton Manning three times, twice by Strong Safety, Tyrone Carter. The Jets would control the ball, and make no mistakes as they put themselves in position to win a game on the road. At one point the Jets led 28-10, before they let the Colts climb back in it. However, on the Jets final drive they turned to Curtis Martin, who had an excellent day ( 29 carries, 124 yards, 3 touchdowns), to finish the drive that would give the Jets an 8 point lead.

The Jets would turn away any last minute heroics by Manning and earn their second victory of the season. The Jets are home for Jacksonville next week, who has surprised many with their 6-4 start.

Rookie Ty Warren played, perhaps his best game of the season, but did suffer an abdominal injury and is questionable for next weeks game.

Jets and McKenzie Agree

Hempstead, NY - The Jets and right tackle Kareem McKenzie came to terms on a long term contract that will keep McKenzie in a Jets uniform through the 2007 season. McKenzie who would have been a restricted free agent at the conclusion of the season was a priority to Marra to sign before the season ended.

We wanted Kareem McKenzie to know that we wanted him here and that we were willing to offer him a long term deal to secure him financially. McKenzie was drafted in the 3rd round of the 2001 draft, and replaced then starter Ryan Young, who was left exposed during the expansion draft. McKenzie stands at 6-6" and weighs 330 pounds. He is now in his second year starting at Right Tackle. Although he has not performed on the level he was at last season, the Jets feel confident in his ability.

Pennington Waits His Turn

Hempstead, NY - Once again Chad Pennington has found himself the backup quarterback of the New York Jets, after getting off to a slow start, Pennington has been relieved by Testaverde to try and save a sinking ship. Coach McGregor insists that Pennington was replaced by the veteran Testaverde because he has dealt with tough times. McGregor said he did not want his young quarterback's confidence to be shattered during these tough times. Many are begining to speculate however, that McGregor has lost confidence in his quarterback and wonder whether the Jets will go after a quarterback in the first round of the 2004 draft.

General Manager, Michael Marra stated that he has spoken with Pennington and that Chad understands the situation and is totally behind Testaverde.
Can you imagine if the Jets now lose their franchise quarterback. Its good to be a New York Jets right now!

DONE!!!

With last Sunday's lost to the Jaguars the Jets have secured their first losing season since 1996. During the past six seasons the Jets have compiled a record of 57-39, under four coaches, well make that three, Belichik does not count. During that six year run the Jets were in the playoffs three times. This is the earliest the Jets have been assured of not reaching the playoffs since the dismal 1-15 Rich Kotite season.

Wayne Chrebet joined the Jets during their 1-15 campaign and stated that this is the lowest feeling he has had. Things are not as bleak as they may appear, the Jets will have money to spend in free agency next season and are assured of a top pick in the up and coming draft.

Jets Crush Bills Hopes!!

Orchard Park, NY - Buffalo's skid hit 4 games yesterday, all without Bledsoe, as the Jets defeated the Bills, 20-3. At one point the Bills were sitting at 5-4 and in the playoff hunt. Bledsoe, although not brilliant, posted an 80.3 quarterback rating, but more importantly was the leader of a team that has played many close games throughout the season.
Bledsoe was injured during the Bills victory over the Cowboys. Despite the fact that Bledsoe had suffered a stress fracture in his leg, he continued on to get the Bills over .500. Now Buffalo can begin to think about next season along with the Jets.
The Jets are a team that are finding themselves late in the season. Head Coach Ed McGregor stated that he is starting to see some of the things that he had hoped to see earlier in the season.
The Jets are thriving under veteran quarterback, Vinny Testaverde, who is second in the league in passing behind New York Giants' Kerry Collins. Testaverde says that he feels he is having a lot of success right now because he was able to be an observer from the sidelines to watch as the Jets learned their new offense. Pennington, although disappointed, feels he has learned a lot and is making strides while practicing with the first unit.
The Jets schedule down the stretch will be a true test with first place Pittsburgh, Miami and New England. The three remaining opponents post a combined 27-12 record. There has not been any indication as to whether Pennington will get the nod or not in one of the remaining games. But many speculate that the staff wants to get a look at Pennington to see where his progress is at.

2003 New York Jets

As our difficult season comes to a close it is one that will be remembered in New York but would like to forget. In the course of a season the Jets lost their General Manager, Terry Bradway, then their Coach, Herman Edwards, and finally most of the staff. In came new General Manager, Michael Marra who hired former Michigan Coach, Ed McGregor, who struggled in the beginning, in which the Jets began 0-7 but finished competitive going 6-3 to finish at 6-10. Rating for the staff: C-
During the season the Jets lost faith in their Franchise Quarterback, Chad Pennington who went 0-7 as a starter and posted a quarterback rating of 68.0, and handed the reins over to veteran Vinny Testaverde who went 6-3 as a starter and led the league in quarterback rating of 100.8. So, do you place the blame on the staff who took their early season lumps along with Pennington, or do you blame Pennington for the horrible start. Testaverde showed that the system does work, will he be back next season, and if so, who's job is it? Rating for the QB's: F/A
The running backs were led by Curtis Martin who carried nearly all the load. For the season Martin finished with 1157 yards rushing, and caught 80 balls for an additional 629 yards. However, the rest of the group did little to help Martin causing the Jets rushing game to finish 30th in the league in rushing. The Jets need to find Martin some help. Grades for the RB's: C
The receiving corp was solid this season, led by veteran Wayne Chrebet with 68 receptions. Moss at times looked like the replacement of Coles that the Jets envisioned, however, his production of 63 receptions for 938 yards does not make up for Coles, 80 and nearly 1200 yards a year ago. The Jets had hoped to start rookie, Tyrone Calico at the Split End position but growing pains led to him being in on three and four receiver sets primarily. He finished his rookie campaign with 43 receptions and just over 500 yards. Tight End Anthony Becht, statistically had his worst season since his rookie year as he finished with only 26 receptions. Receiver Grades: C+
The Offensive Line started off slow, like the rest of the team, but came on at the end. The Jets shuffled the line after the half way point, bringing in Victor Riley and releasing than starter, Brent Smith. Many feel this was a move that made the players realize that your job is not always safe. The line's performance as well as the team responded to this. The Jets do need some help at the Guard position as the team's pass protection did lack at times. O-Line Grade: CThe defensive line's performance during the season was a disappointment to say the least. This is an area the front office thought would flourish, however, the staters combined for 12 sacks during the season. John Abraham, alone had 13 in each of the last two seasons. The biggest disappointment came from Shaun Ellis, who finished with just 1.5 sacks. Their is talk that the Jets could move Ellis to the inside, a move that did not work for Edwards, or deal Ellis and find a new DE. Abraham came on at the end, but McGregor felt that Abraham was solid throughout the season. On the inside it is expected that Jason Ferguson played his last game with the Jets. Ferguson, who was solid against the run could become a cap casulty. Rookie Ty Warren had an up and down season, but did start 15 games, and record 39 tackles and 3 sacks. D-Line Grade: F
The Linebacker Corp struggled, as expected, the team had 2 new staters this season and Cowart was moved from the outside to the inside. Rookie Boss Bailey started the last 10 games of the season, and started strong but fizzled at the end. Bailey needs to learn the grind of an NFL Season. Al Singleton was quiet on the weak side, which could spell the end to his 1 year with the Jets. LB Grade: D
The Jets Pass Defense finished 16th in the league. Not bad for a team that had no pass rush, however, a lot of those games the opponents were ahead and able to run the ball, so do not get too excited. Strong Safety, Tyrone Carter was the star of the secondary. Carter who was signed as a free agent to play Safety or Cornerback won the starting Strong Safety position, and cashed in with 6 interceptions. However, he was not much against the run and could find himself the nickel corner next season. Free Safety Jon McGraw was a non-factor, making 0 interceptions, and getting beat on more than one occasion by deep balls. The corners, Abraham and Beasley showed their age at times, and their veteran abilities at others. While it would be nearly impossible to replace both corners, one is not out of the question. DB Grade: C-

February 4, 2004 - For General Manager Michael Marra and Head Coach Ed McGregor, the task of building for the 2004 Season begins with the conclusion of the 2003 season and a disappointing 6-10 record after a year that saw the office turn upside down with a new management and coaching staff put into place.

Currently the Jets have 43 players under contract and are about $1.8 million under that. However, the Jets need that money to sign their future draftees, so if the Jets want to upgrade any position through free agency they will need to cut and re-work some salaries. The Jets franchise value has been rated the following compared to the rest of the league:


Team Stadium Roster Support Economy Franchise Value
Philadelphia 81 77 92 51 $580,640,000
Washington 88 45 92 53 $556,320,000
Pittsburgh 81 64 96 43 $554,800,000
Dallas 88 32 90 61 $545,680,000

The franchise value is on the rise and it is expected that the Franchise will look to make a stadium proposal for the upper west side that will include a retractable roof with a grass playing field and a capacity of about 70,000 with 200 luxury boxes or so. It is estimated that the cost will be around $600 million. The Jets are expected to contribute approximately 25% with the rest of the funds coming from the tax payers.

Jets Stadium?

The New York Jets have announced the final plans for their 70,000 seat stadium to be constructed on Manhattan's Upper West Side. The Stadium is to be constructed by a top quality construction firm at an estimated cost of $500 million. It is believed that the Jets' Organization will contribute $125 million while the rest will be asked for during a public vote.

The plans include a retractable roof with a grass playing field. Although many Jet officials have said they do not plan on using the roof and altering the games because of the weather, they feel that the retractable roof will make the plans more appealing to the public for the use of other events besides the minimum of ten football games.

The Stadium will include many features that do not exist in their current stadium including 150 luxury suites and 10,000 club seats, sit down restaurants and entertainment along with methods of mass transportation due to the difficulties it could be to travel in New York City.

The Vote is scheduled soon.

Coaching Changes around the NFL

New York Giants fired Head Coach Norman Fiore and hired Buddy Martin. Fiore led the Giants to an 11-7 record and the NFC East Crown. Martin is a 64 year veteran who did not coach last season. Martin is known as an excellent motivator and has excellent skills at developing offensive and defensive game plans, a true tactician is a safe description.

San Francisco fired Head Coach Ricky Williams and brought in Ted Theriot from Tennessee, who had a falling out with the Titans' front office. Williams led the 49ers to a 12-6 record and the Conference Championship. Many around the Bay Area feel that Williams was let go because the Niners had a crack at Theriot who led the Titans to the AFC Crown and the Super Bowl berth.

Tennessee did the smart thing and hired a proven coach in Norman Fiore. Fiore kept his Giants in the hunt throughout the begininning of the season, despite losing their starting QB for the first half of the year. Fiore is a displine style coach, something that Theriot was not. It will be interesting to see how the Titans respond.

Coordinator Positions

Following the firing of Williams, San Francisco Defensive Coordinator, Jason Floyd left the bay area and signed with Miami after the Dolphins Burdette left for more money in Philadelphia.

Miami lost their own Defensive Coordinator, Phillip Burdette in a bidding war to Philadelphia. Philadelphia desperatly wants to get back to the winnning ways they have become accostomed to after a disappointing 5-11 season.

To replace Defensive Coordinator Jason Floyd, San Francisco signed Butch Fuentes away from Oakland. Head Coach Theriot feels more comfortable with the younger Fuentes as opposed to the veteran Jason Floyd and his loyalty towards Williams.

Oakland brings in Donovan Duncan to run the Silver and Black Defense. Duncan is unproven in his NFL coaching career.

Pittsburgh did not waste any time when all the coaching positions were filled in going after former San Francisco coach, Ricky Williams. Williams will run the team's Defense for the retried Ralph Schader.

[mmarra82]

Hempstead, NY - The Jets began making some of the difficult decisions necessary to give the team some room to begin their off-season changes. The Jets released four veterans, some a bit of a surprise while others came as expected.
The Jets let go of guard Dave Szott. Szott, 37 years old was scheduled to make approximately $1.7 million this season. Szott, unsure if he wanted to play or not this season, met with the staff and gracefully accepted his release.
The other expected release was safety, Sam Garnes. Garnes,29, played in just 74 plays this past season at the safety position. The release of Garnes will save the Jets $880,000. The hard hitting Garnes should find a role with a team as a reserve safety and special teamer. The Jets would have liked to kept Garnes as their gunner on special teams, but are desperate for cap space.
Cornerback Donnie Abraham was released, speculation was that Beasley would be the one out, although Beasley's status is still uncertain. Abraham started all 16 games last season, and recorded 2 interceptions, returning one back for a touchdown. The release of Abraham frees up nearly $3.4 million this season. Penciled in to replace Abraham is Jacoby Shepherd. Shepherd, 24, was a second round pick of the St Louis Rams in 2001. Shepherd has some height and can be a cover type corner.
The Jets released their second longest tenured Jet, Ray Mickens, age 31. Mickens joined the team in 1996 as a 3rd round draft selection. Mickens height was always a concern to coaches, however, they could not ignore his cover skills. Mickens primarily played as a nickelback for the Jets and recorded an interception this season. Mickens release will free up approximately $1.1 million.
Other Jets that could be released after the first free agency period include Vinny Testaverde, LB Alshermond Singleton and FB Jerald Sowell.

[mmarra82]

Hempstead, NY - The Jets have cleared some room on their roster and now have currently 39 players signed as they set themselves for free agency. Between free agency and the draft, General Manager Michael Marra feel they need to address the following areas to improve from their 6-10 season a year ago.

The team is unsure as to whether Calico is ready to be an everydown receiver and might look in to bringing in a veteran SE to be a starter and move Chrebet to the FL2 spot behind Moss.

The Jets need to find to new guards to start right away, with the release of Szott and Victor Riley testing the free agent market the Jets need to address this area.

A punter is needed to replace Dan Stryzinski. Stryzinski averaged a mere 37.4 yards per punt last season.

At Defensive Tackle, McGlockton will sign elsewhere, his asking price is too high. So, they need a suitable backup for second year player Ty Warren. Warren is not that good at applying pressure on the quarterback, but is a good run stopper. The same holds true for Ferguson. Harper did a nice job coming in for Ferguson on passing down, but if the Jets can afford one to do the same for Warren they will have all the pieces in place with the DL.

The Jets need to find a starting WLB. Al Singleton just is not good enough. Singleton is nice backup and special teams player. If a suitable SLB or MLB is available, Cowart and Bailey are flexible enough to move to the SLB and WLB respectively.

In the secondary, the release of Abraham means that the Jets will be starting the untested Shepherd or looking for someone else to play the LCB position. It looks as though Beasley will be with the team another season as the starter on the the right side.

Safety Tyrone Carter had a great season playing the Strong Safety position. But, the Jets feel he is better suited to be the Free Safety or Nickle Corner. The team has been unimpressed with McGraw and Pagel thus far, and both could find themselves as the backup SS and FS.

[mmarra82]

The Jets are currently $8.5 million under the salary cap and have $4.8 million to spend for new players. However, based on the fact that Pennington, Becht, Ellis and Abraham are in the last year of their contract we need to keep some money free for them. So, we have set a budget of $2.5 million for Free Agency. We have decided to try and target a Guard, Punter and Cornerback with that money.

Based on players asking price our first option at Guard that we will bid on is Travis Claridge. Claridge has spent the past four seasons with the Atlanta Falcons and plays LG. He only allowed four sacks last season and on running plays had a blocking percentage of 24.3.

The second area we look to address is punter. We feel Hunter Smith could be a nice addition for us. Smith is known as a punter with great hang time, and he averaged 40.0 yards per punt. Smith was also the holder for the Indianpolis Colts last season. Smith has spent the previous five seasons with Indianpolis.

The third player we are targeting is at the corner position. Although this position has tremendous talent available the asking prices are way too high for one of the top corners. Last season we lacked playermakers on D, and if we can land Alex Molden he would bring that ability to us. Molden spent his first seven seasons with New Orleans then played for Detroit last season. Molden picked off 7 balls last season and could be a key addition at Left Cornerback.

[mmarra82]

Week 1 Signees

Orlando Pace - Pace signed a 4 year $40.3 million contract with New Orleans. Arizona and Jacksonville offered more, but Arizona was a non-playoff team, and New Orleans is a tad closer to his home than Jacksonville.

Warren Sapp- Sapp's days in Tampa are over as Sapp signs with the Browns for 3 years, $15.28 million. Sapp only recorded 3 sacks last season but played the run extremely effective. The addition of Sapp with DE's Brown and Lang (each 11 sacks), and DT Gerard Warren makes the Brownies a force with their DL.

Randall Godfrey - Godfrey left Seattle for Tampa Bay. Godfrey signed a deal for 3 years and $10.74 million. Godfrey is an instant upgrade over MLB Nate Webster.

Marcus Washington - The SLB left the Colts for division rivals, the Jaguars. Washington signed for 3 years $9.85 million. Washington was an All-League 1st Teamer last season as he compiled 129 solo tackles.

Ian Gold - Gold turned down Detroit and Washington to continue to play WLB for the Broncos. Gold signed for 4 years $14.69 million.

Carlos Emmons - Emmons left Philly for Mo-Town and the Lions. Emmons signed a 4 years $12.17 million contract. Emmons hopes to help the Lions improve on last season's 7-9 record.

Wayne Gandy - The Saints gain Pace but lose OT, Wayne Gandy to the Buffalo Bills. The Saints had tried to keep Gandy during the season, but when contract talks broke down, Gandy used Free Agency to earn a deal of $5.16 million in Buffalo.

Other Notable Signings:
Victor Green signed with Washington for $9.13 million over 4 season leaving New Orleans.
Keith Mitchell signed a $2.84 million deal over 3 years with Arizona leaving Jacksonville.

[mmarra82]

Hempstead, NY - The Jets announced today that they have signed punter, Hunter Smith to a 3 years, $2.89 million contract. Smith enters his sixth season in the NFL. Smith's first five seasons were spent in Indianapolis after Smith was drafted in the 7th round of the 1999 draft out of New Orleans. Smith is a punter who excels in hang time, allowing the coverage team to get downfield and make plays.

[mmarra82]

Champ Bailey - Bailey resigned with the Redskins after being sought after by Carolina, Kansas City, Minnesota and Philadelphia. The deal for one of this season's top free agents is $53.96 million over six seasons. Bailey was an All-League 1st Team Cornerback with 8 interceptions.

Chris McAllister - Baltimore was able to retain McAllister. McAllister signed a deal worth $26.26 million over 5 years. McAllister's PDPct was 19.5 with two interceptions.

Marco Coleman - Baltimore continues to be aggressive in the early stages of free agency as they sign Coleman to a 2 year deal worth $14.63 million. The 34-year old Coleman had 16 sacks last season for Philadelphia.

Adam Timmerman - 32 year old Adam Timmerman remains a Ram, signing a deal for 3 years, $12.9 million. Timmerman was sought after by Atlanta, Buffalo, Jacksonville, Cleveland and Houston. All were offering more to Timmerman. Timmerman was an All League 1st Team Guard this past season.

Damien Woody - Woody signed a 3 years, $11.67 million deal with Baltimore. Woody, a 1st round draft choice in 1999 of New England, played his entire 5 years with the Patriots.

Keion Carpenter - Carpenter left the Falcons for the two time defending Super Bowl Champions, Tampa Bay. Carpenter signed a 4 year deal worth $11.7 million. Carpenter turned down three year deals from Baltimore, Denver, Minnesota and Houston. Carpenter a Free Safety will now be lined up next to the hard hitting, John Lynch.

Ted Washington - the big run stuffer left New England after not being offered a contract to sign with the Philadelphia Eagles and play along side Corey Simon. Washington signed for $12.88 million over 3 years. The 36-year old Washington turned down a similar offer from Denver.

Spencer Folau - The big Right Tackle chose to stay with the team that gave him a chance when he was undrafted 5 years ago. Folau passed up on deals that were more money from Minnesota and Houston and signed with the Saints for $10.02 million over 3 years.

Michael Myers - Baltimore continues to upgrade their team with the signing of Myers. Myers a DT with Dallas last six seasons received a deal worth $13.82 million over 5 years.

Other notable signings:

Russell Davis, DT, 2 years $1.36 million with Minnesota. Davis joins his 3rd NFL team in 6 seasons.

Fred Robbins, DT, 2 years, $1.86 million. Dallas gets a suitable replacement, from the Rams, for Myers at less cost.

Dante' Hall, WR, signed a 1 year deal with Pittsburgh for $710,000 after Kansas City did not offer him a deal.

Jets Extend Pennington's Contract


Jets QB Pennington signs extension By BARRY WILNER Associated Press

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. - Chad Pennington agreed to a $19 million, five-year contract extension with the New York Jets on Wednesday that includes $6 million in guaranteed money. A source familiar with the negotiations, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press that Pennington will average $3.7million a year.

Pennington had set a deadline of the end of the preseason, for a new deal to be finalized. He did not want negotiations to stretch into the season, nor did the Jets, who didn't want to chance losing him as a free agent.

Pennington, the 18th overall pick in the 2000 draft, has been the Jets' starter in only 23 games. He comes off an inconsistent season that saw him lose the first seven games, but in 2002 he replaced Vinny Testaverde as the starter a month into the schedule and led the Jets to the AFC East title. He also led the NFL in passing efficiency that season with a 104.2 rating, 3,120 yards, 22 touchdowns and just six interceptions.

"You're not looking at a team that thinks, or even knows, we were 6-10 last year," Pennington said. "We've got an element of surprise in us. I don't know what we're capable of, but I know we have a chance. I feel like we have an opportunity to do something. There's a different feeling on and off the field, a different attitude, a different mind-set. There's a different focus, a hunger. There's a new energy about us."

Defensive ends John Abraham and Shaun Ellis and tight end Anthony Becht, all first-round draft picks in 2000 along with Pennington, are in their final contract years. So is running back LaMont Jordan.

Pennington instructed Condon to make the new contract as salary cap friendly as possible."Tom knows how I feel about being a team player so we can keep players," Pennington said.Still, with running back Curtis Martin, center Kevin Mawae and Pennington taking up huge chunks of the salary cap - and with receiver Santana Moss also looking for a new deal - keeping their players will be difficult for the Jets.

Pennington sat for his first two pro seasons behind Testaverde. When the Jets struggled early in the 2002 season, ex-coach Herman Edward turned to Pennington, making "one of the toughest decisions of my career."But Pennington made Edwards look smart as the Jets went from 1-4 and 2-5 to 9-7, then beat Indianapolis in the playoffs before losing at Oakland. Pennington showed tremendous accuracy, poise and leadership.

"Chad has all the characteristics of a true role model," said Coach McGregor. "He has great command and presence on the football field and is a team leader. He has a real passion to play football and is a quality person."Jets fans need to know one thing about Chad Pennington; he'll do whatever it takes to lead this team to a championship."

Added Martin:"That's what you look for in a quarterback, even a young guy like Chad. You look to see how they lead your team. Chad is a leader."A very rich leader.

[mmarra82]

Free Agency Week 3

Greg Ellis, DE – Ellis signs a 5 year deal worth $29.47 million with division rival, Philadelphia. Ellis, entering his 7th season had 7.5 sacks last season, and 63 tackles.

Walter Jones, OT – Jones turned down Seattle to sign with Arizona for $27.23 million over 4 seasons. Jones, who was All-League last season, turned down more lucrative contracts from Carolina, Denver, Philadelphia and St Louis.

Al Wilson, LB – The volatile Wilson is once again moving, this time to Atlanta. Nearly a season ago Wilson was let go unexpectedly from the Broncos. Wilson quickly was picked up by San Diego, who failed to negotiate a long term deal with him at season’s end. Arizona offered Wilson more, however, he chose to sign with the Falcons for $20.34, million over 4 seasons.

Bobby Taylor, CB – Taylor chose to stay with Philadelphia for the next 3 seasons at $15.65 million. Taylor tested the Free Agency market and rejected deals from Carolina, Detroit, Minnesota, and Seattle. Taylor’s shopping paid off, as Philadelphia rewarded him with more than the others. Taylor will be 31 this season.

Keith Traylor, DT – Traylor also remains with last season’s team after testing the Free Agency market. Taylor re-signed with the Bears for 2 years, $7.64 million. Traylor, a run stuffer, also managed 4.5 sacks last season at the age of 34. Traylor turned down deals with Arizona and Houston.

Other signings:
Travis Claridge, G – left Atlanta for the New York Jets for 3 years, $3.8 million.
Victor Riley, OT/OG – left New York Jets for Pittsburgh for 3 years $4.48 million.
John Tait, OT – left Kansas City for Baltimore for 2 years, $2.62 million.
Kelly Gregg, DT – left Baltimore for Arizona for 2 years, $1.61 million.
Tim Bowens, DT – left Miami for Cleveland for 3 years, $2.84 million.
Dan Krieden, FB – left Pittsburgh for Chicago for 5 years, $6.89 million.

[mmarra82]

Hempstead, NY - The New York Jets have added a piece to the offensive line that they desperately needed, Travis Claridge. Claridge has spent the past four seasons with the Atlanta Falcons and plays LG. He only allowed four sacks last season and on running plays had a blocking percentage of 24.3.

Claridge signed a deal for 3 years, $3.8 million. Claridge, who arrived yesterday to finalize the deal, is scheduled to be announced officially later today, along with punter, Hunter Smith.

Chad Pennington and Curtis Martin were at the complex yesterday to welcome Claridge after he and his agent finalized the deal with the Jets' front office. Martin added, "It is great to see that the organization has found someone with the claibre of Travis Claridge to add to our team. I look forward to working with him this season."

The Jets are now focusing their attention on landing play maker corner, Alex Molden of Detroit.

[mmarra82]

Free Agency Stage 4

Bernardo Harris, ILB - Harris left Baltimore for Chicago for a deal of $3.49 million over 3 years. Harris who was only in on 12 tackles last season, and will be turning 33 years old was sought after by 10 other teams. He opted to sign the most lucrative contract offered.

Travis Taylor, WR - Taylor resigned with Baltimore for $1.24 million over the next two seasons. Taylor, the 10th overall selection in 2000 started 14 games last season and recorded 37 receptions.

Matt O'Dwyer, G - O'Dwyer left Cincinnati for Kansas City and $7.12 million over the next 3 seasons. O'Dwyer has 10 years experience at guard, and will be paired up along side LT Willie Roaf.

Mike Goff, G - Cincinnati also loses their starting RG from last season. This time to Houston. Goff signed a 3 years, $3.39 million deal.

Mike Flynn, C - Flynn inked a 2 year deal worth $2.02 million. Flynn started all 16 games for Baltimore and led an offensive line that allowed Lewis to rush for over 1,500 yards last season. New Orleans feels that Flynn can provide the same leadership to allow their back McAllister to rebound from a sup-1,000 yard season.

Dre' Bly, CB - Bly signed a 3 years, $7.53 million deal with Cleveland this week. Bly is considered small, 5'9" by today's NFL standards, however, Bly has excellent man-to-man coverage skills.

Other Signings this week:
Walter Rasby, TE - signed for 2 years $1.46 million with Washington from New Orleans.

Anthony Dorsett, S - signed for 3 years, $3.11 million with Kansas City from Oakland.

Matt Stevens, S - signed for $3.14 million over 3 years with Carolina from Houston.

Breston Buckner, DT - signed for 3 years and $2.39 million with Denver leaving Carolina.

Oliver Gibson, DT, - signed for a 1 year, $780,000 with Washington leaving Cincinnati.

Chris Naeole, G - signed with Buffalo for 3 years, $2.29 million leaving Jacksonville.

Todd Fordham, T - signed for 3 years, $4.41 million with Arizona leaving Pittsburgh.

Free Agency Week 5

Week 5 saw 32 players sign new deals, 30 of those signings were players who will be with new teams this season.

Shawn Springs, CB- Springs left Seattle to join Atlanta for a contact of $26.70 million over the next 6 seasons. Springs, 29, is entering his 8th season. You wonder if Seattle made the right decision letting Springs go. Springs PDPct was 18.8 last year with one interception. Springs turned down offers from Arizona and Minnesota for less years.

Willie Williams, CB – Williams followed Springs out of Seattle toAtlanta for a 2 year deal worth $8.84 million. Williams, 34, enjoyed a solid season with the Seahawks last season.

Grant Wistrom, DE – Wistrom left the Rams to join Ray Lewis and the Baltimore Ravens. Wistrom signed a deal for $25.73 million over 5 season. Wistrom had 8 sacks for the Rams last season.

Fernando Bryant, CB – Bryant left Jacksonville for the Bengals, and $15.26 million over 5 years. Bryant is an exceptional cover man that will help improve the Bengals’ secondary.

Mike Logan, S – Logan left Pittsburgh, but did not go far, as he signed with Philadelphia for 4 years, and $11.31 million. Logan is a fierce tackler, and paired with Brian Dawkins gives the Eagles, perhaps the best safeties tandem in the league.

Troy Vincent, CB - Vincent left the cap stricken Eagles to join the Bills. Vincent signed a deal for 2 years and $10 million. Vincent had 4 interceptions last season and a PDPct of 20.1. Vincent’s age, 34, did not discourage Jacksonville, Kansas City, and Minnesota from pursuing him.

Patrick Hape, FB – Hape left the Broncos to join Jacksonville and the League MVP, Fred Taylor. Hape signed a 5 year deal for $8.99 million. Hape figures to play a prominent role in the running and passing game of the Jags.

Keyshawn Johnson, WR – Johnson ventures to his 3rd team, the Chiefs. Johnson spent the past four seasons with the Tampa Bay Bucs and helped them capture the last two Super Bowls. Johnson signed for 3 years, and $8.36 million.

Matt Stover, K – Stover left Baltimore for division rival Pittsburgh and $5.03 million over the next 3 years. Stover connected on 16 of 19 field goals last season. Stover turned down contract worth more money from Atlanta, Dallas, Kansas City, and New Orleans. Kind of surprising that he turned down Dallas, his hometown.

John Kasay, K – Kasay the last remaining Carolina Panther is no more. Kasay left Carolina to join Arizona and 3 years, $3.33 million. Kasay had 93 points last season for the Panthers.

Tom Rouen, P – Rouen took the largest contract offer and signed with Jacksonville over Dallas, Detroit, Kansas City, Philadelphia and Seattle. Rouen signed a 4 year $6.95 million deal. Rouen had an average of just over 45 yards per punt with the Seahawks.

Rich Braham, C - Braham left Cincinnati for Baltimore for a deal worth $16.96 million over 4 years. Braham has tremedous run blocking ability and blocking strength. He is one of the strongest players in the league. Braham declined offers from Kansas City and Buffalo. Braham looks forward to joining a line that already has Jonathan Ogden and this season's additions of Damien Woody and John Tait. Jamal Lewis is anxiously awaiting the start of the season. Lewis said, "2,000 yards is a realistic goal this season with the players that management brought in along with our current players."

Rob Burnett, DE - Burnett, 37, enjoyed his finest season last year as he recorded 17.5 sacks for the Dolphins.

Brad Hoover, FB – Hoover signed a 4 year deal with New Orleans for $4.57 million. Hoover turned down a comparable offer from Cleveland.

Scott Player, P – Player leaves the warmth of Arizona for Pittsburgh and $2.92 million over the next 3 seasons. Player averaged 44 yards per punt. Player also attracted interest from Cleveland.

Jets Sign Molden

Hempstead, NY - The New York Jets have found help at Cornerback. After the release of Donnie Abraham the Jets found themselves looking for a cornerback. The Jets found that in 8 year veteran Alex Molden. Molden signed a 2 year contract worth $1.85 million.

Molden brings the ability to make the big play, something the Jets desperatly needed last season. Molden intercepted seven passes last season, forced four fumbles and recovered a fumble. The 5'10" Molden possesses the ability to play more man-to-man defense than Abraham and is good against the run as well.

The Jets would have liked to take a shot at some of the elite corners that were available but are limited to what they can do with their current salary cap situation. The Jets feel they have upgraded the position, and that McGregor is getting more of the type of players that fits his style of play.

With the draft approaching shortly, it is safe to assume that the Jets will still look for help at the corner position. It is believed that the Front Office is high on corners Deagelo Hall, Will Poole and Dana McAllister.

Week 9 Free Agency

Antoine Winfield, CB – The Chiefs took a step in the right direction in improving their pass defense when they signed Winfield to a 5 year deal worth $20.32 million. Winfield played the previous five seasons with the Bills. And although he did not have an interception last season, Winfield is a solid man defender. The signing of Winfield means that the Chiefs now have only two cornerbacks on their roster.

Chris Gray, G – Gray re-signed with the Seahawks this week for 3 years and $6.43 million. Gray started all 16 games last year at right guard. Gray turned down deals from Atlanta and Detroit. He is entering his 12th season.

Keenan McCardell, WR – McCardell leaves the world champs for Arizona. McCardell signed for 2 years and $2.16 million. McCardell pairs up with last years Rookies, Johnson and Bolding. Now Arizona needs to find a quarterback. I do not think they will go to far with Gus Walsh.

Barry Gardner, LB – Gardner leaves Cleveland for New Orleans. Gardner signed a 3 year deal for $2.03 million. It is expected that Gardner will start on the weak side for the Saints.

Stay tune for the 2004 NFL Draft!

[mmarra82]

Jets Ready!

Hempstead - The Jets front office and staff has been working frantically to figure out who they will select for this weekends draft. The Jets have the 10th overall selection, and many believe they will stay there and not move up or down. The Jets are in need of help at the Guard position, which they did address during free agency with the signing of Travis Claridge but, still need another starter, they could also use help at the linebacker position and some depth to the defensive backs. The siging of CB Alex Molden from Detroit should help the Jets this season, however, the Jets are still in need of help at the Safety position and the nickel corner position.

This years draft should give the Jets the opportunity to address their needs. With the tenth overall selection the Jets will have some options. Perhaps their best option with the 10th pick will be at corner, or offensive tackle.

The Jets wish list looks like this:
1. Shawn Andrew, OT - He is the highest rated player on the board. Who would not choose a franchise left tackle. The former Razorback, did 36 repetions on the bench, scored high on the intelligence tests and has exceptional footwork. Expected to go number one to Chicago.
2. DeAngelo Hall, CB - Hall has it all. He is rated in the top-5 for every cornerback among this year's draft class. He ran a 4.46 in the 40, and blew everyone away with his agility. The Jets would have to move up to get Hall, the price might be too steep. There is depth at the corner position.
3. Tommie Harris, DT - This Sooner is a stud in the middle. Harris did 34 repetions on the bench, second only to Shawn Andrews. Although is play diagnosis is low, Harris makes up for it with his ability.
4. Larry Fitzgerald, WR - Fitzgerald is a top-5 on the board, and a position the Jets do not need at this time, however, Moss has still not been the big receiver the Jets envisioned when they picked him a few years back. Calico will be steady, but does not appear to be the pure number one receiver. So, Fitzgerald could be a fit. If the Jets go with best available, this could be a possibility, but do not expect the Jets to make a play on Fitzgerald.
5. Jeremy LeSuer, CB - LeSuer is a solid corner, who is a notch below Hall, but a step ahead of the rest. LeSuer is an excellent all around defender. He can play the run, man to man, zone and bump and run. LeSuer will be a solid corner in the NFL. LeSuer is more of a realistic pickup for the Jets.
6. Jonathan Vilma- Vilma is a fierce ILB, who can play the run and the pass. Vilma posses the speed and agility to play outside as well. He is rated above all the linebackers in this year's class.
7. DJ Williams - Williams is an outside linebacker with a defensive backs ability. Williams ran the 40 in 4.5 and did the agility in 7.0. He is exceptional against the run and can rush the passer as well. The knock on Williams is his pass coverage skills and his tackling. Williams if the above six are not available the Jets may trade down to get Williams.
Other trade down possibilities include:
Safeties Matt Ware and Sean Taylor, Corners Bruce Thornton, Will Poole and Dana McAllister.

[mmarra82]

2004 NFL Draft
Round 1

1. Chicago Bears – Shawn Andrews, LT, Arkansas (24 current, 78 potential) The Bears get the highest rated player in the draft, and their offensive tackle to protect Kyle Boller’s blind side for the next ten years.
2. Houston Texans – DeAngelo Hall, CB, Virginia Tech (31, 72) The Texans get the highest rated corner of the draft. Hall will not have the pressure of starting right away behind Glenn and Coleman, so he can be eased into the NFL setting. Hall is a terrific athlete, and the Texans need to get the ball in his hands on special teams.
3. Cleveland Browns – Tommie Harris, RDT, Oklahoma (30, 69) The Browns go with the 3rd highest rated player on the board in Harris. Harris is an excellent talent who needs to learn how to diagnose plays. He will backup Warren Sapp this season.
4. Philadelphia Eagles – Kevin Jones, RB, Virginia Tech (45, 64) The first surprise of the draft saw the Eagles pass on Larry Fitzgerald and draft Jones here. The Eagles lack any receivers, and currently have Staley to run the ball.
5. Carolina Panthers – Nat Dorsey, RT, Georgia (31, 58) Carolina made a safe pick here. Last year the team took Jordan Gross who had a fine season at RT. Dorsey is naturally a RT and will probably be a reserve T this season. Look for Gross to make the move to the left side next year, and Dorsey to be the future starting RT.
6. Buffalo Bills - Marquise Hill, RDE, Louisiana State (35, 56) Buffalo needed help at DE, and they got it in Hill. Hill was a better fit than Udeze for Buffalo here. Hill has the build to be a 3-4 DE or a 4-3 DE.
7. Arizona Cardinals - Larry Fitzgerald, FL, Pittsburgh (33, 68) Arizona goes with the best available player here. They are deep at WR, but how do you pass a player like this up. Fitzgerald can fly (4.3 40) and along side the NFL’s fastest man, Bryant Johnson (last year’s #1 pick), the Cards have some big play at the wideout position. Now they need someone to get it to them.
8. Minnesota Vikings – Jeremy LeSuer, LCB, Michigan (35, 62) Minnesota needed a CB, and they got one here. The second highest rated corner on most boards. LeSuer is a notch below Hall, but he is clearly the 2nd best corner in the draft.
9. Atlanta Falcons – Matt Ware, FS, UCLA (29, 66) Atlanta went with need as well, and drafted the big, athletic corner in Ware. Ware is excellent against the run and a solid cover man, a rarity at the safety position.
10. New York Jets – Jonathan Vilma, MLB, Miami (38, 60) The Jets pressing need was OLB, however, they got the best LB of the draft in MLB Jonathan Vilma. Vilma is smart and athletic, he will see time this season in the middle, weak and strong side.
11. Dallas Cowboys – Kenechi Udeze, RDE, Southern Cal (31, 59) Dallas signed the All-Pro DE, Rob Burnett this season, what better than Udeze to learn from him. Udeze will get time at both the righ and left side this season, and should be a starter by his second year.
12. Detroit Lions – Bruce Thornton, RCB, Georgia (29, 59) Detroit needed a RB or CB here. They thought that Kevin Jones would be available, but he went earlier. Instead Detroit gets the 3rd or 4th rated corner of the draft.
13. Kansas City Chiefs – Mathias Kiwanuka, LDE, Boston College (30, 56) Kansas City needed an ILB or DE here, with Vilma gone the Chiefs opted for Kiwanuka over ILB Duffy or OLB Williams. Kiwanuka is an excellent pass rusher, but will take time to learn how to play the run at this level.
14. Cincinnati Bengals – Regis Crawford, LG, Arizona State (18, 62) Cincinnati went strictly with need here in Crawford. Crawford is the highest rated guard in the draft, but most teams had him going in the later part of the first round.
15. Baltimore Ravens – Randy Starks, LDT, Maryland (31, 64) Baltimore was hoping that Ware would still be on the board here, but went with best available when he was not. Starks can do it all and will quickly make an impact for the Ravens.
16. Green Bay Packers – Greg Jones, RB, Florida State (44, 63) This is another move that makes little sense. The Packers are desperate for help at OLB, and DJ Williams is sitting there for the taking. Instead they get the power running back of Greg Jones to play behind Ahman Green.
17. Seattle Seahawks – Ahmad Carroll, LCB, Arkansas (28, 62) Seattle needed help at corner and they got that in Carroll. Carrolll may not be the best man cover corner, however, in the right system this guy will be a player.
18. San Diego Chargers – Tony Pape, LT, Michigan (31, 57) San Diego was hoping that Carroll or Thornton would have been here, but make a nice selection in LT Tony Pape. Left tackles are hard to come by, and the Chargers now have one.
19. Washington Redskins – Raheem Orr, RDE, Rutgers (18, 49) This was without a doubt the biggest duh move. Yes, the Redskins needed help at DE, but this kid Orr from Rutgers is not the answer. Orr looks like he can be a decent pass rusher in the future, but has a lot of work to do. Perhaps the better move here would have been to go with safety Jim Leonhard or Sean Taylor.
20. Indianapolis Colts – DJ Williams, SLB, Miami (31, 58) Love the pick here, Williams slides down a little, and the Colts get perhaps the best available player and fit a need as well.
21. Pittsburgh Steelers – Will Poole, LCB, Southern Cal (21, 61) This pick was not as surprising of a pick as you might think. Yes, the Steelers need a QB and Eakin or Manning would have made more sense. However, Poole is a play maker, and this team will be carried by its defense this year.
22. Houston Texans (via NY Giants) – Dwan Edwards, RDT, Oregon State (28, 56) In perhaps a bit of a surprise move, the Giants sent their #1 to Houston for NT, Seth Payne. Houston than used the pick on run stuffer, Dwan Edwards.
23. New Orleans Saints – Douglas Goodwin, NT, Boston College (28, 51) The Saints had eyed up Edwards here but get perhaps a better all around DT in Douglas Goodwin. The Saints were hoping DE here, but you see how that worked out.
24. Oakland Raiders – Kevin Eakin, QB, Fordham (16, 65) Oakland needs a QB in the future, and they appear to have got it. Although Eakin comes from a small college, he has wowed scouts with his intelligence and accuracy. Eakin will have some growing pains, but rest assure this kid will be effective in a ball controlled offense.
25. New England Patriots – Mewelde Moore, RB, Tulane (42, 58) The Pats needed help at RB, and got one in Moore. Moore can run ok between the tackles or outside, however, he is the best receiving back in this year’s draft.
26. St. Louis Rams – Chris Snee, LG, Boston College (31, 54) St. Louis was hoping for Will Poole to be here, but when he was not, they went with their starting left guard of the future in Chris Snee.
27. San Francisco 49ers – Dunta Robinson, LCB, South Carolina (31, 54) The Niners were hoping for Jones or Moore to be here to replace Garrison Hearst. The Niners get a corner to play opposite Plummer and slow down some of these NFC West wide outs.
28. Jacksonville Jaguars – Jeb Terry, LG, North Carolina (20, 59) Jacksonville went with need here. Terry is a bit of a work in progress. But, Terry possesses all the necessary tools to be a starter at this level.
29. Miami Dolphins – Vince Wilfork, LDT, Miami (27, 56) With the exception of Jason Taylor, the Dolphins have no D-Line this season. Wilfork will be expected to come right in and start. Wilfork is a wide player who can play the run.
30. Denver Broncos – Jim Leonhard, SS, Wisconsin (31, 60) Denver was excited when they saw that Leonhard was available here. Leonhard will come in and get a chance to play right away.
31. Tennessee Titans – Antwan Odom, LDE, Alabama (28, 42) The Titans went with need here, and came away with Antwan Odom. This is a spot where the Titans could have gotten some help for McNair, with TE Ben Watson available or wideouts Darrius Watts or Roy Williams.
32. Tampa Bay Buccanears – Tatum Bell, RB, Oklahoma State (42, 51) The Bucs need some help on the OL, and perhaps center Scott Wells or project tackle Kelly Butler would have been a better pick. But, the Bucs add some explosion to their aging offense in Bell.

New York Jets
2004 Draft Picks

First Round – Pick Ten
Jonathan Vilma, MLB, 6’2” 225 pounds, Miami, Florida
Vilma was the leading tackler for the Hurricanes the last two seasons. He will see time at all three positions and special teams this season. Vilma scored very high on the Solecismic Test and was timed as one of the quickest and strongest ILB in the draft.

Second Round – Pick Three
Dana McAllister, CB, 6’0” 208 pounds, Colorado
The Jets liked McAllister so much that they considered him with their first pick. In order to move up 7 spots in the second round the Jets traded their second and fourth round picks. McAllister is an excellent cover man who can make the interception. McAllister will work behind Molden and battle Jacoby Shepherd for the nickel position.

Third Round – Pick Ten
Etric Pruitt, SS, 6’0” 195 pounds, Southern Mississippi
Pruitt will play on special teams and backup Tyrone Carter. Pruitt plays the run and pass well, however, he needs to gain experience to recognize plays and react at this level. Pruitt is also an excellent return man where he can possibly earn some chances behind Morton and Moss.

Fifth Round – Pick Ten
Quinn Christensen, G, 6’6” 300 pounds, Brigham Young
The Jets are impressed with Christensen’s strength and instincts. Christensen will be 24 this season. It is expected that the Jets will sign a veteran to play right guard this year. However, the Jets are hopeful they found a possible starter of the future here.

Sixth Round – Pick Ten
Paul Harker, G, 6’3” 299 pounds, Michigan State
The Jets look to add depth to the left side of the line with Harker. Harker who gained plenty of experience at Michigan State is more than half way developed being a 4-year starter for the Spartans. Harker will compete with Jonathan Goodwin for the left guard backup position.

Seventh Round – Pick Ten
Nathaniel Adibi, DE, 6’3” 255 pounds, Virginia
Adibi was only a 2-year starter for the Cavaliers, but he was one of the most athletic of all the defensive ends in the draft. With excellent speed, good quickness, and strength he is reminiscent of a younger John Abraham. The Jets only hope he can achieve some of Abraham’s success.

[mmarra82]

Following the 2004 Draft the Jets currently have 43 players signed, and are $8.3 million under the cap. There are several areas of the roster that the team needs to address.

We need to sign two wide receivers, a backup center, a starting right guard, and one to two linebackers.

Players we are looking at to resign are center JP Machado, linebacker Jason Glenn, wide receiver Jonathan Carter. Players from the free agent market include, wide receivers David Terrell and Corey Bradford, center Brad Meester, tackles Todd Wade or Aaron Gibson (and move them to guard), and linebackers, Nail Diggs and Mike Maslowski.

Rookie Free agents we are looking at include: signing a rookie quarterback to compete with Brooks Bollinger for the third string position. Those quarterbacks include Matt Schaub, Matt Mauk, and John Navarre. Wide Receivers, Michael Clayton, Michael Jenkins, Jerricho Cotchery and Rashaun Woods. Linebackers Roderick Royal and safeties Perry Hudson and Darrell Azzolini.

Report: Jets to release Testaverde

NEW YORK (AP) — Quarterback Vinny Testaverde will be cut by the New York Jets, the Daily News reported Thursday.
The 40-year-old veteran will be released after June 1 to lessen the salary cap hit the team takes, but the announcement could come as soon as Friday, the newspaper reported, citing an unidentified NFL source.
Jets General Manager, Michael Marra had no comment on the report. A call by the Associated Press to Testaverde's agent, Duane Horineck, was not immediately returned.
New York is grooming second-year quarterback Brooks Bollinger as a backup to Chad Pennington. If Bollinger does not appear ready the team will sign a veteran at a lesser price than Testaverde. Testaverde, a Heisman Trophy winner who has played 17 NFL seasons and was the No. 1 overall draft pick in 1987, doesn't want to be a third-stringer, but has indicated he still wants to play.
Either way, the Daily News said, Testaverde's six-year stint with the Jets is over.
Testaverde lost his starting job to Pennington early in the 2002 season, and Pennington led the Jets from a 2-5 start into the playoffs. Testaverde reassumed the starting position last season when the Jets began 0-7 under Pennington. Testaverde went 6-3 as the Jets starter and led the NFL in quarterback efficiency.
In 1998, Testaverde made the Pro Bowl and guided the Jets to the AFC title game. But he tore his Achilles' tendon in the first game of the next season.
In 2001, Testaverde led the Jets to a 10-6 record and a wild-card playoff berth.

[mmarra82]

The Jets have signed three rookie free agents to compete for spots on the roster.

John Navarre, QB, Michigan - The big quarterback played under Ed McGregor at Michigan University. Navarre is a smart quarterback who can read the defense, direct the two minute offense and sense the rush. His accuracy is a little erractic which caused Navarre the shot at being drafted.

Jerricho Cotchery, WR, North Carolina State - Cotchery 40 yard times were lacking along with his pass routes. He could catch on with the team if he can beat out Jonathan Carter. Cotchery is a long shot.

Roderick Royal, LB, McNeese State - Royal was a standout at the small school, but his predraft workouts and small school hurt Royal's chance of being drafted. Royal does have a shot if he can excel on special teams.

[mmarra82]

The Jets have completed their roster for the start of training camp. The Jets are going to go into camp with 56 players on their roster competing for 53 spots.

Late Free Agency signings include:
J.P. Machado, C - Machado joined the Jets in 1999 when he was selected in the 6th round out of Illinois. Machado has been reliable behind Mawae. Machado will continue to handle the long snapping responsibilities.

Tim Rattay, QB - signed from San Francisco, Rattay was drafted in the 7th round of the 2000 draft by the 49ers. Rattay has thrown just 50 passes in the NFL behind Garcia in San Francisco. The Jets are hopeful he can become the team's second string quarterback. Rattay works the short passes well and has the quick release to avoid the sack.

David Terrell, WR - The Bears released Terrell to get out from under his big contract. The Jets signed Terrell to be another big guy to go along with Calico and the smaller Chrebet and Moss. Terrell will primarily play the SE position behind either Calico or Chrebet. Terrell caught 53 passes last season for 573 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Jonathan Carter, WR - The Jets chose to resign Carter for a second season. Carter caught only 1 pass last season, but does have the ability to provide the big play.

2004 Preseason

Game 1
Tampa Bay at New York Jets

The Jets defeated the defending Super Bowl Champions, 19-16. Doug Brien converted a 25 yard field goal with no time remaining to start the preseason off on the right foot. Hoping to make big plays this season, the team did just that. With :22 left, Tampa Bay was attempting to move into field goal range for the win. The Jets called a safety blitz, and Derek Pagel walloped Brad Johnson, who fumbled the ball. The ball was recovered by Alan Harper. Shortly after, two straight completions, Brien ended the game for the Jets.

Offensively, Pennington had a tough night against the Bucs’ D, but kept the game tied up when he left. Pennington finished, 8-16 and 94 yards passing. Tim Rattay came in mid way through the third quarter and was effective, hitting on 8 of 13 passes for 94 yards. Newcomer, David Terrell and Tyrone Calico each caught 4 passes to lead the Jets.

Defensively the Jets were led by Sam Cowart. Cowart had 11 tackles for the game, 1 sack and a forced fumble. Second year tackle, Ty Warren also was a force, finishing with 7 tackles.

Injuries were minor, Kareem McKenzie suffered only a sprained knee and will miss a week or two. Victor Hobson did separate his shoulder and will miss up to four weeks. Both should be back for opening day.


Game 2
New York Jets at New York Giants

The Jets came into there game with the Giants hoping to get a look at a lot of their second team and players trying to earn a roster spot players. The only thing they saw however, was a Giant team geared up and ready to take it to them.

The Giants stomped the Jets by a score of 35-3. The Giants quickly jumped out to a 35-0 lead, as Kerry Collins lit up the secondary for four first half touchdowns. The Jets pass defense gave up 309 yards most coming in the first half. Free agent acquisition, Alex Molden was victimized early by Amani Toomer, giving up 5 passes in only 15 defensive pass plays. Rookie Dana McAllister and Jacoby Shepherd outplayed Molden, who was figured in to be the starter when the Jets signed him. McAllister and Shepherd did not give up a pass reception in the 31 plays they were in combined.

On offense Tim Rattay got the start, and moved the team very little. Although he completed 7 of 10 passes, the plays were all short, totaling 42 yards. The one play Rattay did go downfield he was intercepted. John Navarre (fighting for the 3rd QB spot) played in the second half, and had little success as well. Navarre completed 10 of 18 passes for 92 yards. Chad Morton had a good game running the ball, carrying 11 times for 56 yards. Morton is looking to beat out Jordan for the HB2 position.

The Jets did suffer an injury to rookie guard, Paul Harker. Harker is expected to miss the next four weeks with a strained abductor muscle. Harker is expected to make the team, but his injury now gives the Jets the option to move him to the IR list to free up a roster spot if the choose to do so. Tackle Kareem McKenzie is listed as probable for next week with a sprained knee, but will likely be deactivated once again to give him time to recover. Linebacker Victor Hobson will continue to be out with a separated shoulder.

The Jets have Atlanta at home next week. The Falcons have struggled in preseason this year dropping their first two. The Falcons are still reeling due to the suspension of their star quarterback, Michael Vick.


Game 3
Atlanta Falcons at New York Jets

The Jets looked to get back on the winning track after their hometown rivals embarrassed them, however, the Falcons would not let that be the case. In fact, the Falcons beat up on the Jets who had no excuses this week.

The Falcons would beat up on the Jets in all areas of the field in route to their 38-19 victory. The Falcons outgained the Jets 462-358, outrushed the Jets 165-110, and caused more turnovers, 4-3.

The Falcons have three young quarterbacks battling for the first string position, Alonzo Temes from Boston College, Phillip Rivers from NC State and Louis Hawkins from SMU. Temes got the start this week and led the Falcons to a 10-6 halftime lead.

Chad Pennington played the first two series for the Jets. Pennington led the Jets on a 7-play, 56 yard drive that resulted in a fumble deep in Falcon territory. He than came back with an 11-play, 76 yard drive that resulted in a field goal. Pennington would than turn it over to Tim Rattay, and that is when the game got exciting. Rattay would continue to move the Jets, but once again the Jets would have to settle for a field goal and behind by 4 going into the half.

Following halftime, the Jets left their defense in the locker room, as rookie free agent quarterback, Phillip Rivers diced the Jets’ up. Rivers would complete 14 of 18 passes for 206 yards and 3 touchdowns. The Jets could only muster up 13 more points, 6 coming on the only bad throw that Rivers made and rookie cornerback, Dana McAllister’s first interception and touchdown.

Following the game, Coach Ed McGregor looked like a coach who was just whipped. “We played as poor tonight as I have seen. We were able to do little on both sides of the ball. Some of these guys are really going to have to show me something at Dallas next week or we will have to find players that can.”

The Jets had better hope that Pennington has what it takes this season. Rattay has not been that effective in the preseason, and the Jets are unsure of what to do with the third string quarterback position.

The only injuries the Jets had to report was CB, Jacoby Shepherd injured his thumb, but is expected to play next week.

The Jets travel to Dallas next week for their final preseason game. Following that game the Jets will have to trim their roster down to 53.



Game 4
New York Jets at Dallas

The Jets got themselves in a hole early, 17-3, but rallied to defeat the Cowboys 30-27, and finish the preseason at 2-2.

Pennington finished the game 0-6, but Coach McGregor said he is not concerned about Chad. “Chad did some good things this spring. He is ready to go.” Pennington finished the season completing just 13 of 27 passes for 177 yards.

The running game was strong, finishing with 208 yards on 30 carries. Both Martin and Jordan broke long runs of 44 and 84 respectively. The line and backs look ready to go this season.

Quarterback Tim Rattay, gave the team some more confidence in him, completing 11 of 21 passes for 115 yards and a touchdown. The touchdown pass was a 13 yarder to Jerald Sowell that would pull the Jets to within 3, 27-24.

On defense the Jets were led by Sam Cowart once again. Cowart finished the game with 12 tackles and a sack. Tyrone Carter had 7 tackles and an interception. The Jets pass D got off to a rough start but finished allowing Dallas to 201 yards through the air.

Rookie Jonathan Vilma had 4 tackles and a sack and Boss Bailey also contributed with a sack, as the Jets are hoping their last two first round picks can continue to make the big plays.

The Jets open at home next week against the Buffalo Bills. It looks as if the Jets will be without Santana Moss and Tackle, Kareem McKenzie. Guard Paul Harker and defensive tackle Jason Ferguson are listed as questionable. Bryan Thomas, Jacoby Shepherd and Victor Hobson are listed as probable.

Stadium Voted Down

The Jets were voted down in an effort to build a new stadium to improve the teams revenue and franchise value.

The Jets were voted down 55.2% to 44.7%.

The New York Jets had planned for a 70,000 seat stadium to be constructed on Manhattan's Upper West Side. The Stadium was to be constructed by a top quality construction firm at an estimated cost of $500 million. It is believed that the Jets' Organization was going to contribute $125 million while the rest came from the public.

The plans included a retractable roof with a grass playing field. Although many Jet officials have said they do not plan on using the roof and altering the games because of the weather, they feel that the retractable roof will make the plans more appealing to the public for the use of other events besides the minimum of ten football games.

The Stadium will include many features that do not exist in their current stadium including 150 luxury suites and 10,000 club seats, sit down restaurants and entertainment along with methods of mass transportation due to the difficulties it could be to travel in New York City.

The Jets released a statement earlier today, "Although we are disappointed with the results to begin construction of a new stadium on Manhattan's Upper West Side, rest assure this issue is not a dead one. The people of New York deserve a new facility and we will go back to work and put this issue back up to vote next season."

We did something in week 1 we did not do last season until week 8, got a win. We did not play that well, but made the plays when they counted. Beginning in the fourth quarter with the special teams. On a Hunter Smith punt, Buffalo return man Troy Vincent caught and returned the ball from his own 10-yard line. Jets' Jacoby Shepherd hit Vincent and caused a fumble. Free Agent acquisition, Travis Claridge picked up the ball and scooted 10 yards for the touchdown. Then, the defense got involved when an interception was returned for a touchdown by stong safety, Tyrone Carter. That play put the Jets ahead 21-10, which would be short lived. On the ensuing kickoff Bills' rookie return man, Joey Thomas returned the ball all the way back for a touchdown, Buffalo converted the two-point play and that is the way the game would finish 21-18.

The Jets got out injury free and are awaiting the return of right tackle Kareem McKenzie and defensive tackle Jason Ferguson.

The Jets travel to St Louis next week. The Rams are coming off a week 1 win against Arizona 22-13.

What a Waste!

Hempstead - The Jets did everything they needed to do today to come into St.Louis and beat a good team. They ran the ball well, stopped the run, controlled their passing game, were +1 in the turnover margin and controlled the clock. However, the Jets could not put the ball in the end zone enough (settled for four field goals under 40 yards), and allowed St. Louis to make a huge play early in the 4th quarter.

Leading 23-14, early in the 4th quarter, the Jets had the ball on St. Louis' 49 yardline. Pennington dropped back to pass on 3rd and 9 and threw a poor ball that was intercepted by Adam Archuleta and returned 69 yards for a touchdown. That play would be the key play in the game.

The Jets would get the ball back in move down the field, but once again settle for a Doug Brien field goal with 6:49 left. The two would exchange 3 and outs before St. Louis got the ball with 2:35 left.

The Rams would put together a 9 play, 58 yard drive that resulted in a Shaun McDonald touchdown reception from Kurt Warner with :44 seconds left. The Jets, out of timeouts, would not threaten the Rams at all who pulled out the 29-26 win.

Chad Pennington threw the ball 58 times completing only 28. You have to wonder why Coach McGregor abandoned the running game in the 4th quarter despite the lead. McGregor stated, "We felt they had stopped the run well in the second half, and our only option to sustain drives in the second half was to work the short passing game. Their defense played us extremely well in the red zone, and that was the difference today."

Chad Pennington struggled to score touchdowns today, a reason why McGregor went to Testaverde last season. Pennington moved the team down the field all game with ease, however, drives continued to stall in the red zone and the Jets let one get away today.

The Jets travel to Indianapolis to face another high powered offense next week. The Jets should be able to move the ball once again, and if they do not convert in the red zone, the Jets will fall to 1-2.

Win In Indy!!!

Indianapolis - The New York Jets won perhaps their biggest game under the Marra/McGregor regime defeating the Colts 29-26. The win moved the Jets to 2-1 and dropped the Colts to 1-2.

The Colts were a disppointing 9-7 last season, but are still dangerous, offensively. The Colts put up 417 yards in total offense, but could only muster 3 touchdowns. The Jets defense played a bend but do not break defense. They did not force any turnovers but seemed to make a big play when it was needed, such as a sack or a stop behind the line of scrimmage on 3rd and 1.

Pennington played an excellent game, making the big throws and controlling the clock when necessary, including the game winning drive. With 5:25 remaining the Jets were down 26-21. Vanderjagt had just missed a 50-yard field goal that would have put the Colts up by 8. The Jets took over at their 40 and began an 11-play, 60 yard drive that took up 4:56 of the clock and was capped by a 3 yard Curtis Martin rushing touchdown. The drive was executed as well as it possibly could have. The Jets drove the field, used the clock up and scored a touchdown, followed by a 2-point conversion to put them up by 3, with 29 seconds left.

Pennington was 15 of 28 for 260 yards and two touchdowns. The running game still leaves some to be desired but looks to be heading in the right direction. The team started JP Machado (backup center) at right guard in stead of rookie, Quinn Christensen. Christensen had started the previous two games, and has not been as effective as the team feels they need from the position.

On defense the team was once again led by Cowart and Bailey. The two combined for 22 solo tackles and a sack. The Jets are home for the 2-1 Ravens next week. The Jets are favored by one point.

The Jets lost reserve fullback BJ Askew for the next 4 weeks with a strained back. Lamont Jordan will see some plays at the fullback position if necessary.

Pennington Shines!!!

Hempstead, NY - One day after the Jets put up one of its most dazzling offensive numbers in two years, you can sense the team feeling as good as it has since they were in the playoffs two years ago.

Yesterday, the Jets needed overtime to defeat the Baltimore Ravens 20-17. The win moved the Jets to 3-1, and into first place for the first time since the end of the 2002 regular season. In their victory the Jets amassed 468 yards in total offense against one of the best defenses in the league. They only managed to get into the endzone once however, and had to rely on Doug Brien to boot six field goals.

Pennington played near perfect ball, completing 20-26 passes, for 315 yards, while under pressure all afternoon. The pressure the Ravens brought did force an interception by linebacker, Ed Hartwell that led to a Ravens field goal. The Jets had a pair of 100-yard receivers with Chrebet and Moss. Moss has now had back to back 100-yard receiving games since coming back from his preseason injury. Curtis Martin handled the football 34 times, for 96 yards. Most of Martin's runs were extremely tough ones against the stout front seven of Baltimore.

On defense the Jets played there best game of the season, allowing a mere 234 yards to the Ravens. They held Jamal Lewis to 85 yards rushing.

However, despite the numbers the Jets nearly lost the game. They needed Doug Brien to hit a 22-yard field goal as time expired to force overtime. The Jets ventured into Baltimore's red zone six times, coming away with only 1 touchdown and 5 field goals. Part of the reason that McGregor went to Testaverde last season was because of the lack of touchdowns produced under Pennington.

McGregor said, "It is a little troublesome to be down there that many times, and have to settle for field goals. We realize we moved the ball effectively against a very good defense, and yet we needed overtime to win this one. It should not have had to come to this. We still have a lot of work to do to get to where we want to be, and I will not let them celebrate this victory this week."

The Jets reported no injuries this week. The team continues to monitor the transaction logs, looking for a player to play the right guard position in the event Machado does not solidify himself there.

Tiger Whipped!


Cincinnati, OH - The Jets arrived in Cincinnati high off their victory over Baltimore last week to take on the Benglas, losers of three straight.

The Bengals blew out the Jets 34-7, in perhaps the most lopsided game under the Jets new regime. The Bengals outplayed the Jets in all areas. The running game of the Jets floundered for a mere 71 yards, on 26 carries, while the defense gave up 221 yards.

Kevin Mawae was frustrated with the performance, "We just got our butts kicked, we are a better football team than this, I don't know what else to say."

McGregor said that all week the staff was stressing to them that they were going to have to be up and ready for the Bengals, that this team has been struggling, and are fighting for their season, if we the Jets were not ready they would be in for a long day. Well, apparently the message did not get across to the team. McGregor even shaked up the lineup to try and spark them. Second year defensive tackle, Ty Warren, who has been struggling was benched for Cornelius Griffin, a move that did not work out well. The Benglas attacked the middle of the Jets defense led by their rookie center, Nick Seitze, who was blowing Griffin and Ferguson off the ball all day.

This was the second week in a row the offensive line struggled to provide running lanes for Curtis Martin. The Jets are combing the transaction wires hoping that a right guard becomes available. If not, they may have to work around Machado, or the rookie, Christensen. On top of that starting left guard, Travis Claridge is out for the next game against New England.

On the defesive side of the ball the Jets will be without their playmaking safety Tyrone Carter. The Jets will move McGraw from Free Safety to Strong Safety and start Derek Pagel at the Free spot.

The Jets are home for the 2-3 Patriots, believe it or not the Jets are a 1 point favorite.

Jets Ground Pats!!!

The Jets defeated the Patriots 33-20 yesterday using the combination of a powerful ground game and key passes that kept drives going. The running game was questionable this season, and with left guard, Travis Claridge out, there were even more questions. However, the line provided plenty of running room, as Martin (21 carries, 80 yards), and Jordan (12-54) gained valuable yards and consumed the clock leading to a Jets victory. Pennington played a solid game, completing 21 of 32 passes for 230 yards and two touchdowns. Martin, Becht and Moss each caught 6 passes for the game.

Special Teams played a big part. Chad Morton was excellent on his returns, taking a punt back 18 yards, and two kickoffs back for a 26.5 yard average. Those returns helped shorten the field for the Jets offense which scored on its first 6 possessions.

Defensively there are growing concerns about the Jets pass defense. It seems week after week quarterbacks are putting up big numbers. Now, we do not want to grow to concerned because a win is a win, however, this pace cannot continue. Brady threw for nearly 400 yards on the afternoon. The Jets pass defense is ranked 30th in the league in pass yards and tied for 27th in sacks with just 10. There is growning concern around Jets camp, and there should be good reason. Last season when the running game was struggling in the beginning of the year, McGregor cut, starting guard Brent Smith. Now with the pass D struggling you wonder if McGregor is thinking the same after his post game comments. "It is disappointing to be thinking of the negatives after we just beat a good football team, but, I do not think I can watch another performance on pass coverage like that again."

Free agent aquisistion, Alex Molden has been disappointing in his first six starts, and second round pick, Dana McAllister has not developed as quickly as the Jets had hoped, leaving the Jets with few options.

There were no reported injuries, and the good news is that Travis Claridge, and Tyrone Carter are expected back for next weeks game against Cleveland.

Hempstead, NY - Coach McGregor and the staff brought in some defensive backs to take a look at to possibly add to the roster. Jason Webster and Denard Walker came in for a tryout. Both are cornerbacks and have not taken a snap this season. Webster was an unrestricted free agent from San Francisco who did not receive much attention despite the fact that he started most of the games he played in and intercepted 8 balls during those four seasons. Walker was released from Minnesota during the off season. Walker was the team's starting left cornerback before suffering a season ending injury last year. The team also invited in free agent safety, Donnie Nickey. Nickey has not played a snap in the NFL after being drafted in the 5th round of the 2003 draft by Tennessee. Nickey is an ideal free safety, something McGregor feels is a weakness with his team, with McGraw and Pagel.

Hempstead, NY - After yesterday's workout the Jets were impressed enough to sign cornerback Jason Webster. Webster is expected to be inactive for this weeks game, but could find himself playing the dime back next week against Buffalo. In order to make room for Webster the Jets waived Jamie Henderson. Henderson has not been active at all this season after failing to beat out Jacoby Shepherd or Dana McAllister.

The other shakeup in the secondary was the Jets moving Alex Molden from the starting group to the nickel back. Molden has not adjusted to the Jets system yet. McGregor did state to Molden before signing him that he could be used as both a nickel back and as a starter. Molden was obviously disappointed by the decision but stated he looked forward to his new role of playing nickel back and covering the slot receiver.

Hempstead, NY - A poor fourth quarter by the Jets on offense and defense resulted in a 28-25 loss in Cleveland yesterday. Chad Pennington was looking sharp through three quarters with the Jets leading 17-14. Then, a critical pass was intercepted by Cleveland's Dre' Bly changing the momentum of the game. With the Jets leading and moving deep into Cleveland territory Bly timed a Pennington pass perfectly intercepting the ball on his own 15 and returning it 29 yards. Cleveland would keep the momentum going and punch it in to take a 21-17 lead. Cleveland would score once more before the Jets made the game look closer than it was with a late touchdown.

Once again the Jets running game was not there. Curtis Martin who is struggling carried the ball only 14 times for 45 yards. Jordan did not fare much better, going 11 carries for 35 yards. The stat line for Pennington looks good, 16 for 25, 278 yards and two touchdowns, however, the interception is the throw he remembers. "I let one get away from me at a critical point of the game. I let my team down today. I don't know what else to say." Kevin Mawae added, "we made too many mistakes to win the game today, this is not on Chad, he played a great game. Perhaps if we could have gotten our running game going today, Chad would not have had to make that throw."

Defensively the Jets woes continues. The Jets gave up 373 yards to the Browns, who have been averaging under 300 yards in total offense during the season. The Jets did get some pressure on Couch this week, but still not enough. Couch who has struggled at time this season, completed 19 of 26 for 249 yards and 2 touchdowns. Although the Browns running game averaged just 3.4 yards per carry, it was effective, as the Browns used 7 different players to carry the ball. Jacoby Shepherd was effective in his first start at cornerback, he shut out his receivers, while Molden struggled once again at the nickel position.

Perhaps the Jets can find their winning ways in Buffalo next week. The Bills are 2-4-1 on the season. The Jets defeated the Bills on opening day, 21-18. The Jets got through the game with no injuries to report.

Thanks to those out there who have read my thread about my Jets Dynasty. It took longer than expected to reach the 1,000 mark but I feel good about my dynasty. I have been at it for 8 months now, and I really enjoy it. I hope some of you readers do as well.

Road Weary

Hempstead, NY - The Jets dropped their fourth game out of five on the road this season yesterday to the Buffalo Bills, 15-10. With the score 13-10, and 2:15 remaining the Jets got the ball on their own 5 yard line. The Jets figured they needed to go 65 yards to set up a game tying field goal. They would not even get that opportunity. On the very first play, Pennington dropped back to pass, was pressured and took off for an apparent 4 yard run, setting up a second and six at the 9 yard line at the two minute warning. Only, there was a holding penalty called in the end zone resulting in a safety. Buffalo went up by five, 15-10 and got the ball back to run out the clock. For the Jets it was another tough road loss.

Offensively Chad Pennington was very effective in the rain, completing 16 of 24 passes for 213 yards, 1 touchdown and no interceptions. The Jets tried to pound the ball with Curtis Martin, as he carried the ball 20 times for 61 yards. Wayne Chrebet provided the teams big play, when he caught a short pass and raced 55 yards for a touchdown.

Defensively Sam Cowart provided the run support in his old stadium, finishing with 12 tackles for the day. The Jets used a variety of blitzes on the day that resulted in three sacks, one for Jonathan Vilma, and one for Jon McGraw that resulted in a fumble that Buffalo recovered.

The Jets get to come home, where they are 3-0 next week to face the surprising 5-2 Steelers.

HALFWAY REPORT

We have reached the halfway mark, and although our record of 4-4 is 3 games better than last season's 1-7, some of the same problems still exist.

We still lack a pass defense, despite the additions of cornerback Alex Molden, and rookie linebacker Jonathan Vilma, we are ranked last in passing yards allowed. Molden has been benched in favor of Jacoby Shepherd. The pass rush has been minimal at best. Abraham and Ellis have managed just 5.5 sacks combined. That would not even get them into the top-10 pass rushers at this time. Second year defensive tackle Ty Warren has struggled this season, even to the point where he was benched for a game in favor of veteran reserve defensive tackle Cornelius Griffin. On the positives, Sam Cowart and Boss Bailey have had great seasons. The two are near the top in tackles, and have made some key plays at big moments of the games. It looks as though the Jets have established a solid group of linebackers this season, something that was not there last season. Now, the questions begin as to what to do next year.

Five of the current eleven defensive starters are scheduled to be free agents at the end of the season if we elect not to negotiate new contracts. They are Shaun Ellis, Jason Ferguson, John Abraham, Tyrone Carter and Jacoby Shepherd. Out of those five Shepherd is the only one looking for a near minimal deal. In this age of the salary cap, and the position the Jets are in next season some tough decisions will have to be made. The early thoughts are to let Ferguson go, and if Carter's demands do not lessen to say good bye to him as well. We would like to keep Abraham despite his last two seasons of mediocre play. His contract will probably be somewhere in the neighborhood of $5 million per season. With Shaun Ellis one of the thoughts is to franchise him, sign him and trade him if we can make a deal that is friendly enough to warrant that, otherwise it is likely he will be a unrestricted free agent. So that means it looks as though we will have to replace three starters along with getting some needed help at the cornerback position.

On the offensive side of the ball things have gone better than expected. Pennington has played pretty good thus far. His numbers are a big turn around from last season, however, he has still struggled at times in the red zone getting the team into the end zone. That can be directly related to the running game. The running game has struggled, and it is not just the offensive line's fault. Curtis Martin has lost a step, but he is still more than capable of being the everydown back. The Jets still lack a right guard, vacated by the departure of Victor Riley to free agency. The receivers have played well. Moss has been a game breaker since his return in week 3, while Chrebet himself has made more than his share of big plays. Second year receiver, Tyrone Calico continues to develop, although he does not look like a superstar in the making, he looks to be more than capable of playing everydown if needed.

On the starting offensive side of the ball only Anthony Becht will be a free agent, and looking at his decreasing numbers, will probably have the opportunity to walk. The other question will be whether to offer Lamont Jordan a new contract. Jordan has not played that well behind Martin, but with Martin's ability on the decline, do the Jets have the option of letting a reliable backup go? I would say probably not at this time. It appears that if the Jets can find a starting right guard, the Jets would be a step ahead. Some other things to consider are Santana Moss. Moss is scheduled to be a free agent after the 2005 season, his demands will likely be high, as his skills are assessed at the top of the league. So, the Jets will obviously have to decide if his deal will fit in with the Jets plans, otherwise we will have to think about a replacement in this year's draft to give him time to develop.

Despite this, we are sitting at 4-4 and in first place in our division. We have 5 of our next 8 games at home in the second half. We feel if we can finish 6-2 or even 5-3 down the stretch the playoffs are a stong possibility.

Jets Defeat Steelers

Hempstead, NY - A day after the Jets defeated Pittsburgh 14-3, the team was given the next off until Thursday. The Jets entered their bye week at 5-4, and a share of first place with New England. Last season the team entered the bye in week 5 at 0-4, it was then that McGregor and his staff started to contemplate changes necessary to turn the season around. They really never did, finishing 6-10. This season the bye comes at a good time. The team knows they need to make some adjustments if they want to make the playoffs, and they will have a healthy roster when they come back to begin a three game road trip.

Yesterday against the Steelers the Jets defense had its finest game of the season. The D, held the Steelers to 3 points, 245 yards, and forced 3 turnovers. John Abraham was named defensive player of the week. Abraham collected 3 sacks, 3 hurries and 3 tackles for the game. Is it a coinscentent that the Jets opened up negotiations with Abraham's agent today?

Offensively the Jets did what they had to do. The Jets only attempted 22 passes on the day, completing 14 for 159 yards. What was impressive was the endurance of Curtis Martin. Martin carried the ball 36 times for 109 yards against the punishing Steel defense. He also caught 6 passes for 89 yards. No doubt the amount of work that Martin got was because of the bye week coming up.

The big play came from the special teams. After the Steelers went up 3-0, rookie Erict Pruitt returned the short kickoff 85 yards for the go ahead score. For Pruitt it was the play the Jets envisioned from him when they selected him in the 3rd round of this year's draft.

The Jets had no injuries to report and will begin preparing for Miami at the end of the week.

Top Jet

Hempstead, NY - The goal during the Jets bye week was to continue negotiations with John Abraham and sign him. The Jets and Abraham have come to an agreement that will pay Abraham $51.2 million over the next six seasons, the largest contract signed by a defensive end. The deal includes an $11.2 million signing bonus.

Abraham was a Pro-Bowl selection following the 2001 and 2002 season, however, in 2003 he was held to just 6.5 sacks, his lowest total since his rookie season. Abraham appears to be the player the Jets envisioned they saw following the 2002 season. Abraham has matched last years sack total in just 9 games, he has also been a disruptive force on many running plays. Abraham has been healthy the past two seasons and is now a Jet through 2009.

Killer Fish

Hempstead, NY - There is still a lot of football to be played this season, but yesterday's lost to the Dolphins put the Jets into a tough situation for the remainder of the season. In a home game, and a division rival the Jets just did not get going, and showed the signs in the weaknesses they posses. They could not run the ball effectively, or stop the pass. The Jets ran for just 96 yards yesterday, and gave up 261 yards passing.

The Jets got on the board on their first drive when Doug Brien connected on a 52 yard field goal in the rain. Miami and the Jets would exchange touchdowns back and forth and back to Miami once again, and a Dolphin lead at the half, 17-10. The Jets would come out and be totally dominated in the third quarter, and fall further behind 24-10. The Jets would rally late but come up short as the Jets ran out of time on the Dolphins 29 yardline.

Offensively Pennington was effective against the tough D, completing 19 of 31 passes and zero interceptions. However, the running game was inconsistent, as Curtis Martin was held to 55 yards on 17 carries.

Defensively, John Abraham led the way once again, and showed why he earned the big contract. Abraham finished the game with 5 tackles and one sack. Sam Cowart led the team in tackles with 12. Molden and Shepherd struggled at cornerback once again for the Jets, as Chris Chambers beat them for 6 catches and over 100 yards receiving.

The Jets will be without Travis Claridge for approximately 3 weeks with an elbow injury. Chad Pennington suffered a sprained ankle, but did not miss any snaps and is listed as probable for next weeks home game against Seattle.

Outlast Hawks

Hempstead, NY - The Jets exciting victory yesterday, was quickly put to rest when the team came in for afternoon films and review of yesterday's 19-16 win.

Doug Brien's 51 yard field goal with four seconds left lifted the Jets to 6-5 and knocked Seattle to 7-4. It was Brien's fourth field goal of the game, and second from 50+. Both were kicked in the final three minutes of the game.

Offensively the Jets did enough against the tough Seahawks D, to give Brien five chances on field goals, and scored a touchdown on Lamont Jordan's 7 yard run in the second quarter. Pennington was fairly solid, completing 29 of 42 passes for 246 yards, and one interception. The Jets continued their struggles in the red zone once again. Pennington led them there on four different occasions, however, the Jets only came away with one touchdown. You have to wonder if McGregor is starting to lose a little confidence in the running game. Curtis Martin carried only 13 times for 41 yards. For Martin it was the fewest times he carried the ball in over a season. Santan Moss made some clutch catches for the Jets down the stretch, he finished with 7 receptions for 74 yards.

Defensively, the Jets were led by Boss Bailey, who had 9 tackles, and a half of a sack. Bailey also forced a fumble, recovering it. Bailey continues to excel for the Jets defense. Alex Molden was in the starting line up, over Jacoby Shepherd this week. Perhaps it was enough to allow Molden to further adjust to the Jets' defensive shemes. Seattle was held to just 225 yards passing on the afternoon. Shaun Ellis had a solid game, recording a half sack and forcing Dilfer to hurry his throw on three other occasions.

Claridge is still listed as questionable for the Jets big game with San Diego this weekend. McKenzie and Pennington continue to mend from minor ankle injuries and are both expected to play.

The Jets will need this game against the Chargers, as it has playoff implications all over it.

One Yard Victory

The New York Jets were sloppy for the first 57:31, in which they mustered just three points and 164 yards in offense, however, they trailed by just six, 9-3. The Jets took over the ball with 2:29 remaining, needing to go 89 yards in order to keep their playoff goal alive. On the first play Curtis Martin scampered 19 yards, the Jets in hurry up offense got one more play off, a 1-yard run in to the middle of the line by Martin, as the two minute warning came. The Jets now would only be able to stop the clock two more times, and they still needed to go 69 yards. After an incomplete pass on second down the Jets faced a 3rd and 9. Pennington would be sacked for an 8-yard loss, and the game seemingly over. However, on fourth down Pennington hit Moss for a 19 yard completion to keep the drive alive. In hurry up offense Pennington threw two straight incompletions before striking Moss again, this time for 15 yards, and into San Diego territory 57 seconds remaining, the Jets used their second timeout. Pennington than hit Moss once again, this one, the long one that was needed, 33 yards, however, Moss did not get out of bounds forcing the Jets to use their last time out. After two straight incompletions into the endzone the Pennington struck Calico who came up short getting into the endzone. With the clock running down and 4th down on the 1-yard line, the Jets had to run a quick play, Pennington called a run up the middle that Martin scored on easily, and gave the Jets the victory.

"When I hit Tyrone on 3rd down, I thought he could get it in. I got to the line, called the play just once, the line heard me as well as Curtis, and they did the rest to give us the score," said Pennington.

"When Chad threw the ball to Tyrone, I thought we had just lost the game, I did not think that we would have the chance to get the ball off. The officials did briefly delay in spotting the ball, what could have been just the time needed for Chad to call the play and get it off," said Coach McGregor.

The victory moved the Jets into the final playoff spot with four games remaining. The Jets must travel to San Francisco next week and play the struggling 49ers, however, after that they must head down to Miami to face the first place Dolphins.

Jets Strike Gold

The Jets traveled into San Francisco tied with New England for second place in the AFC East, one-half game behind Miami. The team needed the victory to continue its drive towards the playoffs.

On a rainy day the Jets did just that, they defeated the Forty-Niners, 13-10 in a physical game. The Jets offense held the ball for nearly thirty-eight minutes, while running the ball for a total of forty-two times. Martin (22 car, 64 yards) was the leading carrier. Pennington completed 19 of 29 passes for 185 yards, none were bigger than the 4th down completion late in the fourth quarter to seal the victory. On a 4th and 4 with 1:16 remaining in the game the Jets led 13-10, Coach McGregor passed on the chance to kick a 33-yard field goal and turn the ball back over to San Francisco. Pennington took the snap from Mawae took a quick drop and fired a bullet to Chrebet for 9 yards, and the game.

"Looking back at the play, I guess it was a little more of a risk than I thought. However, we made it, and it looks like a great call. If we missed it I am sure I would have been questioned. But, looking at the situation, the field was a little torn up, Brien had missed an earlier attempt, I just did not want to put our kicker in that situation. Chad felt like we had the right play called, he was told that if it was not there, take the timeout and then we would kick. I guess he saw what he wanted?" McGregor stated after the game.

With Miami's lost to St.Louis the Jets now are in first place of the AFC East with their big showdown with the Dolphins next week. The Jets will be without Travis Claridge, who has had a difficult time staying healthy this season, and Cowart is listed as questionable. Pennington, McKenzie and Shepherd are all listed as probable.

Fourth Quarter Collapse

Hempstead, NY - Things are quiet around Weeb Ewbank Hall today, as the Jets try to explain how they let the Dolphins score 10 points in the final five minutes. It had appeared that the Jets were well on their way of defeating the Dolphins in Miami, and revenging their Week 11 loss to the 'Phins. The loss dropped the Jets out of first place by one-half of a game to the Dolphins, and are now tied with New England who also lost this week. One-half game behind the Jets and Patriots are the Bills who defeated New England 17-15. The Jets still hold a spot in the post season in what has become an extremely tight race.

Coach McGregor, looked like a coach who was frustrated by yesterday's results. "This is a tough business, and there are a lot of things that have been disappointing about this season, however, we are still in the race for this thing, and are now prepared to move on and plan for Arizona." The Jets will face the Cardinals this week who have shown signs of being a competitive team as of late. The Cards have won two of there last three behind rookie free agent quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who surprised everyone when he beat out veteran Jeff Blake, who was later released.

The Jets once again controlled the clock with the run, carrying the ball 43 times for 157 yards. Rarely used return man, Chad Morton provided a spark with the run, as he carried 11 times for 58 yards. Martin once again provided the tough inside yards, as he went for 65 yards on 24 carries. Martin has failed to average over 4.0 yards per carry in each game this season. Something that is a concern to McGregor. "We realize the numbers on Curtis on not impressive, however, he is the one carrying the ball into the middle of the line and grinding out some tough yards, he also, has provided help in the passing game." Martin has caught 70 passes this season.

Pennington was intercepted two times and did not throw for a touchdown. Chad has been intercepted 5 times in the past 4 weeks, something that the Jets can ill-afford to do with their slow moving offense.

The defensive play was solid once again, holding their opponents to under 300 yards in total offense. It marked the fourth straight solid performance from the defense.

With the play of the D as of late, and the strong team running game the Jets could make some noise, if they can get to the playoffs?

[mmarra82]

Hempstead, NY - As the Jets begin their preparation for the Cardinals this week the staff announced today that Travis Claridge would be out for the game with a Elbow injury, and now Jason Fabini is listed as "out." Fabini injured his ankle against the Dolphins mid-way through the second quarter but stayed in the game. The injury has not healed at all and it now appears that Fabini has injured his achillies tendon, his return would be for the playoffs if the team makes it.

With the injury to Fabini the Jets had to make a roster move this week. the team signed veteran tackle, L.J. Shelton who can play the left tackle position. In order to make room for Shelton the team released seldom used linebacker, Roderick Royal.

This weeks O-Line will have Machado at left guard instead of right guard, the rookie, Quinn Christensen at right guard, Lance Nimmo at right tackle, and Kareem McKenzie will jump to the left side for the first time since his senior year at Penn State.

Other injuries, starting cornerback, Alex Molden,who has played better as of late, suffered strained abductor muscle and will be out for this week's game. John Abraham is listed as questionable with a knee injury, but he said he will play.

Champs or Chumps!
Jets defeat Cardinals, set-up season finale with the Pats.

Hempstead, NY - The Jets victory yesterday kept the teams playoff and divisional championship hopes alive. It took the Jets the whole sixty minutes to defeat the stubborn Cardinals, 21-17.

Pennington connected with Wayne Chrebet from 8 yards out, with twenty-nine seconds left to put the Jets ahead for good. The Jets outplayed Arizona in all areas of the game,yet they almost suffered a season ending defeat. Chad Pennington had perhaps his best game of the season, completing 26 of 37 passes, for 251 yards and two touchdowns, playing behind a makeshift line. The Jets also ran the ball effectively, led by Curtis Martin, 23 carries for 83 yards. The Jets ran a ball contolled offense to deal with the rainy conditions. The held the ball for nearly thirty nine minutes and compiled 373 yards, to the Cardinals 270 yards. Despite the rain, neither team commited a turnover.

On defense the Jets were led by Sam Cowart. Cowart finished the game with 13 tackles, and shows why he deserves serious consideration for All-Pro honors this season. Cowart, playing with a broken thumb, has compiled 116 solo tackles this season, tied for second in the league. The rookie quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger made some good throws, including a 42 yard strike to veteran wideout, Keenan McCardell. The Cards other big play was running back, Michael Shipp's 35 yard run. The Cards accumulated 270 yards in total offense, if you take away those two plays they had 198 yards.

John Abraham did play the whole game despite a sprained knee, but was ineffective. He is listed as questionable for this week's game against the Patriots, and will be a game time decision. The Jets O-Line will have to provide protection for the Jets passing and running game one more week, as Fabini and Claridge remain doubtful.

The playoff scenario for the Jets is pretty simple, win in New England and you are the division champs. Lose, then the winner of the Buffalo, Miami game becomes division champs, the Patriots are the wild card, then your only chance to get in is if the Colts lose at home to Jacksonville.

Victory At A Cost!

Hempstead, NY - The Jets defeated the Patriots 26-21 to capture the AFC East crown for the second time in three years. But the victory did come at a cost. Early in the second quarter the Jets lost Chad Pennington with a knee injury that looked bad. Leading 14-0, and playing extremely well, Pennington stepped back to pass, Pats defesive linemen rushed Pennington's throw, with the quarterback falling awkwardly over Hamilton. The result sent Pennington to the locker room, and the Jets hearts in their throats.

Enter Tim Rattay for the first time this season. Rattay has not seen game action since the preseason, but, you would not have known it. Rattay the most unlikely hero, came in and performed flawlessly. He completed 17 of 21 passes for 164 yards and more importantly, no turnovers. Feeling the pressure as well was Curtis Martin, who carried 29 times for a season high, 151 yards and a touchdown. The touchdown was his longest carry of the season, 59 yards.

Said Martin, "Chad is the leader of the offense on the field, and when he went down, you could feel a bit of tension in the huddle. For the line to open up that hole, and us to score right away with Tim in there, gave us the boost we really needed at that time."

Pennington had an MRI this morning that revelad no structural damage to the knee, however, he will be out 2-4 weeks, and is officially listed as questionable for there game in two weeks.

The positive was the victory, a complete victory. The team played well in all areas, you have to expect a good football team like New England to make some plays, especially with their season on the line. The Jets had learned while taking the field that the Indianpolis Colts were defeated by the Jaguars and that they were now in the playoffs, however, that would not take away their focus. The Jets wanted the division, and a chance for a first round bye. The bye will allow Fabini, Claridge, and Molden play, something they have not for a few weeks now. It also allows Abraham to get back to full strength and just maybe help Pennington prepare his knee to play.

Coach McGregor, who took over in January 2003, has this team believing in itself for maybe the first time during his reign. McGregor who at times appeared he would lose this team has kept to his ways never wavering on his decisions, he has stuck by his decisions something that the team has learned to appreciate. Kevin Mawae stated, "he is a straight shooter, he does not give a crap what you have done in the past, only what you just did."

The Jets are now at a place that looked bleak at the halfway point when the team was 4-4, but they settled down defensively, and found ways to win.

[mmarra82]

Hempstead, NY - The team began going through some practice reps with Tim Rattay running the first offense. Rattay is in his fourth season, first with the Jets after spending the previous three with San Francisco. Rattay was drafted in the 7th round of the 2000 draft out of Louisiana Tech. He came to the Jets through free agency after being released by the Forty-Niners. Rattay was signed with the Jets to compete with Brooks Bollinger for the second string job, Rattay beat out Bollinger, who was also beat out by rookie free agent, John Navarre.

Rattay has been in a west coast offense setting for 8 years now, including college, he throws with accuracy and has good pocket awareness, the concern is that he does throw interceptions, something you cannot afford in playoff football. So expect the Jets to give a heavy dose of Curtis Martin and Lamont Jordan in their game in two weeks.

Buffalo (8-7-1) at Pittsburgh (10-6)

Buffalo dominated all game, outgaining Pittsburgh 427-227, as Bledsoe completed 22 of 27 passes, for 310 yards and a touchdown. However, the Steelers made the key plays when they had to and also had some things go their way. Buffalo's rookie kicker, Tommy Pyatt had a game he would like to forget. He missed one extra point in the second quarter, missed a 33-yard field goal midway through the fourth quarter, than this:

Nineteen second left, Pittsburgh clinging to a 21-20 lead, rookie kicker Tommy Pyatt lines up for a 23 yard field goal, the snap, the hold, the kick is BLOCKED!! Pittsburgh has blocked the kick and will pack their bags for New York. The Steelers have defeated the Bills 21-20.

Carolina (10-6) at Dallas (11-5)

The Cowboys come in to the playoffs as the NFC East Champs, as expectations are high for the first time since the mid-90's. They have one of the best defenses in the game, and have found their running back late in the season in Thomas Jones, formerly of Arizona. Carolina is without their starting quarterback, Jake Delhome. The Panthers were led by Charlie Batch, who helped Denver earlier in the season.

This game would be one of defense, in which the defenses of these two teams forced seven turnovers, four forced by the 'Boys D. The Cowboys would do enough to find the victory, 20-9. Thomas Jones helped Dallas control the clock as he carried 21 times for 101 yards and a touchdown. Joey Galloway provided a spark in the passing game, catching 8 balls for 130 yards. If Carter can prevent the interceptions he is accustomed to throwing the Cowboys have the pieces to make some noise in the playoffs.

New York Giants (10-6) at Detroit (9-7)

The Giants got off to the early lead 10-0 when Collins hit Toomer early and Mike Hollins connected on a short field goal, however, that would not last long as Joey Harrington and company got rolling. The Lions scored 14 unasnswered points and led at the half 14-13.

In the second half the teams exchanged touchdowns before Detroit took control. Hambrick and Mahe would each score on rushing touchdowns and the Detroit D would hold the Giants to three drives in the fourth quarter all resulting in three and outs.

The Lions rolled off 430 yards in total offense, led by Harrington who completed 22 of 33 passes for 290 yards, 2 touchdowns and one interception. Troy Hambrick continued to be solid rushing the football, he would rush for 90 yards on 18 carries and add another 27 yards receiving on four catches. Detroit heads to the two time Super Bowl Champions next week, Tampa Bay while the Giants head home after yet another early exit from the playoffs. the Giants face a tough off-season, as Kerry Collins, their leader will test the free agent market. Collins has been 21-11 as the team's starer the last two seasons and has posted 50 touchdowns against just 21 interceptions during that span.

Miami (9-6-1) at Denver (9-7)

The Dolphins won this tight battle 27-20. All areas of the statistics are balanced. Denver outgained Miami 370-357, both teams ran and threw the ball effectively, perhaps the only difference was that Miami's starting quarterback, Jay Fiedler started the game and lasted three quarters, compared to Jake Plummer who was unable to play once again, leaving the reigns of the Broncos in the hands of rookie quarterback, Ell Roberson. Plummer played in just 5 games this season, the team had depended on Charlie Batch who started 9 games, however, the Broncos released Batch when it appeared Plummer was coming back to the starting lineup. Plummer did come back and played, however, a shoulder injury in week 17 sent him to the bench and Roberson took the helm. Roberson did play well, (20-29-220-2td's) but was unable to drive the Broncos down the field at the end.

Fielder was knocked out late in the third quarter with a shoulder injury as well, and if the Dolphins plan on returning to the League Championship and perhaps the Super Bowl they will have to do it with Sage Rosenfels who threw just one pass during the regular season. Miami heads to Tennessee next week, the site of where their season ended last year, as the Titans advanced to the Super Bowl.

Saturday, 4PM FOX
Detroit (9-8) vs Tampa Bay (12-4)

The Detroit Lions came into Tampa Bay to face the two-time defending Super Bowl Champions with nothing to lose. The Bucs who started the season off slow, 2-3, after losing much of their offensive line, rallied in the second half to win 10 of their final 11. Quarterback Brad Johnson has been steady on offense, while defensively the Bucs have been donminating.

The Lions got off to a quick start when Terrance Holt intercepted Brad Johnson on the second play of the game and returned it for a touchdown. The Lions would use that play along with other early Bucs mistakes to lead 10-7 at the half. In fact, the Lions stretched that lead to 17-7, however, the Bucs would come back and score 24 of the final 27 points. Donald Driver would be the offensive star, catching 8 passes for 136 yards. The defense would buckle down in the second half and only allow 126 yards in total offense to the Lions. The victory send the Bucs to the NFC Championship game for the third straight season.

For the Lions, they are in great position to continue to build. All eleven starters on offense are under contract, while 9 of the 11 starters on defense are under contract. Look for the Lions to be stronger next season.

Got Away

Last night the New York Jets hosted the Pittsburgh Steelers in the divisional round of the playoffs. It would be the Jets first playoff game since 2002 when the Jets traveled to Oakland and lost. That would also mark Herm Edwards last game as the Jets coach after a bitter battle with the Organization's front office.

Coach Ed McGregor and the Jets were ready for the Steelers. The Jets are winners of 5 of their last 6. With the bye week the team got much needed rest, especially for Chad Pennington, whose knee is still not 100%.

The game started well for New York, they held Pittsburgh to a three and out, than signs to come would happen. After Pennington apparently hit Santana Moss for a big gain, deep in Pittsburgh territory, he fumbled the ball. Jason Gildon picked the ball up and returned it into Jets terriotory. Shortly after, Griese would hit Randle El for the score and the early 7-0 lead. On the ensuing drive Chad Pennington would be intercepted on the first play. However, the defense would make a big stand and force the Steelers to punt.

The Jets showed signs when they drove 92 yards on a 20 play drive, concluded by a 4-yard run by Curtis Martin, tying the score at 7 as the two teams went into halftime.

The Jets would take their first lead on a Doug Brien 37 yard field goal, but the Steelers would come right back when Griese hit Karl Williams from 25 yards out and a 14-10 lead. The Jets would get some more help from Doug Brien when he booted a 32 yard field goal early in the fourth quarter to pull within one.

That would be the end for the Jets. The offense could no longer move the ball, and the defense could not stop the Steelers as they gave up two late touchdowns.

For the game the Jets outgained the Steelers 360 to 232, however, the Steelers made far fewer mistakes as the Jets turned the ball over 3 times to zero for the Steelers.

"This is one that will sting for the winter, but this is playoff football, you cannot make that many mistakes in a football game and expect to win. I thought our defense played well today, our special teams did a nice job, however, when you turn it over you are in trouble." said McGregor.

The Jets have no choice but to begin planning for the 2005 season while Pittsburgh prepares themselves for the AFC Championship game.

AFC Matchup
1:00 PM on CBS
Miami (10-6-1) at Tennessee (11-5)

The Dolphins placed quarterback Jay Fielder on injured reserve earlier in the week when the realized the severity of his injury was more serious than anticipated. They signed Jim Sorgi to replace him on the roster. Sorgi the early season with the Raiders before being released, now found himself in a most unusual spot, starting for the Dolphins in the Divisional Playoffs. Why the Dolphins did not start Rosenfels is unknown after the way he played against the Broncos in the second half of last week's Wild Card Victory.

Playing with their third quarterback in two weeks, the Dolphins offense failed to exist. The Titans held the Dolphins to just 216 yards in total offense, and just 7 points. The lone Dolphin touchdown came as the result of a Titans turnover. The Titans played the game conservatively, rushing the ball 35 times compared to just 27 passes that resulted in a closer score, 16-7, but this was never much of a game.

The Titans took control of the game following the first half, and with the exception of the sole first half McNair interception, the Dolphins never threatened, crossing midfield just twice, and starting inside Titans' territory following the McNair interception. The Titans pounded the tough Dolphins D, and by games end had worn them down. The tough running of Chris Brown allowed the Titans to take over the game in the second half. Brown finished with 116 yards on 24 carries. The Titans will host the Pittsburgh Steelers next week in the AFC Championship Game. The two did not meet during the regular season.


NFC Matchup
4:15 PM on FOX
Dallas (12-5) at St. Louis (11-5)

In what was talked about as being the most balanced game of the week the Dallas Cowboys and their tough D, traveled into St. Louis to battle "The Greatest Show On Turf." Dallas came in fresh off a 20-9 beating of the Carolina Panthers in the Wildcard game.

The first half of this game would stay close, as the Cowboys struck first on a 13 yard toss from Carter to Anderson, however, the Rams would quickly strike back when Kurt Warner hit Isaac Bruce from 42 yards out to tie the game at 7. The Rams would not stop there in the first half, as Kurt Warner threw his second score of the game, midway through the second quarter, to Kevin Curtis from 12 yards out to give the Rams a 14-7 halftime lead.

In the third quarter the two teams would exchange field goals to close the quarter out at 17-10. But, the Rams passing attack would strike once more when Warner hooked up with Shaun McDonald from 16 yards out. Wilkens would miss the extra point, as the Rams now led. 23-10. The Cowboys would make a call that can be considered questionable, kicking a 20-yard field goal with 3:31 left to make it a 23-13 game. What really makes the call questionable is that the Cowboys were out of timeouts and needed still two more possessions. I guess the 'Boys coach will have some questions to answer. The Rams victory, 23-13, sends them back to Tampa for the third time in two season. The last time the Rams were at Tampa they lost the Divisional round of the playoffs 20-16. The Rams will be looking for a different outcome this season.

2004 Jets Evaluation

As the playoffs roll on, we began to evaluate how our season went by position group.

Quarterback - After a miserable 2003 in which he went 0-7 as the Jets' starting quarterback, Pennington bounced back to lead the team to 10-6 and the AFC East crown. Pennington statistically was much better the first half of the season, in which the Jets were only 4-4. The offense was aggressive, and Pennington threw for 12 touchdowns against only 6 interceptions. In the second half the weather did come into play in some games, and Pennington hit for 7 touchdowns against 5 interceptions, however, the team went 6-2 down the stretch to secure the number two seed in the AFC. However, Pennington can still be seen to make some bad throws, that result in costly turnovers, something the Jets could not afford against an opportunistic team like the Steelers. For the season Pennington completed over 61% percent of his passes for nearly 3,500 yards, 19 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He needs to come back in 2005 stronger and better for this team to continue to improve. It appears that we made the right decision to commit to Pennington and release Testaverde. Also, early in the season we made the decision to extend Pennington's contract through the end of the 2008 season. Pennington's contract is rather moderate ($18.26 million over 5 seasons) to many of the starting quarterbacks in the league. After his 2003 season, there was some concern about commiting to him until he played out the year, however, the gamble to sign him early when his asking price was down, paid off. If we had waited until after the season, his price would have been a lot steeper (keep in mind we extended Abraham to a deal for $51.23 million over 6 seasons).

Backup quarterback, Tim Rattay was called upon in the team's biggest regular season game since the end of the 2002 season. With the Jets leading the Patriots 14-0 early in the second quarter, Pennington suffered a knee injury that took him out of the game. Rattay came off the bench for the first time and performed flawlessly, completing 17 of 21 passes for 164 yards, and zero turnovers. His performance was a big reason the Jets went on to defeat the Patriots 26-21.
Grade: B

Backs - For the season the Jets ran the ball 527 times for 1904 yards, an average of 119 yards per game, 11th in the NFL, however, the team managed a mere 3.61 yards per carry, 27th in the league. Much of that can be contributed to Curtis Martin. Martin was once again the rock that you hope for from your starting running back. He finished with 1,839 yards in total offense and 13 touchdowns, while touching the ball 441 times, up 34 more from the 2003 campaign. What was raises concern however, is that Martin just did not appear to have the explosiveness he once had. Martin averaged a mere 3.32 yards per carry. Only once during the season did he average more than 4.0 yards per carry in a game, the last one when he averaged 5.2 yards. So, what do you do? Here is a man who rarely misses a down, but yet he is scheduled to be an approximate $5.6 million cap hit for 2005. I was hoping Martin could carry me through 2005, when it appears there will be several running backs on the market, however, the time might have come to invest in a back of the future.

Lamont Jordan is scheduled to be a free agent this season, his asking price is not high, however, he might be replaced at the RB2 spot by a draftee. Jordan was thought of to be the back of the future for the Jets. But he has shown little signs of being able to assume that role. He is a powerback who does have some quickness, but he lacks the ability to hit the holes. Jordan carried the ball 91 times for 338 yards and 3 touchdowns. He averaged 3.71 yards per carry, hardly what you would consider starting material. So the early thinking could be to let Jordan go through free agency and draft someone with perhaps a 3rd round pick to sit behind Martin's final year with the Jets.

Chad Morton got a handful of carries this season, and showed some of the quickness you would expect from a return man. Morton does not have the build though to be an everydown back. His role will continue to be return man duties. Morton averaged 22.5 yards per kick return this season.

Jerald Sowell might have played his last game at fullback as well. At 30 years old, Sowell's abilities have declined to the point where his blocking abilities have struggled, which is a contributing factor to our running game decline. Sowell joined the team in 1997 as a special teams player, he became the starter in 2001 after Richie Anderson and the Jets departed ways.

Second year fullback, B.J. Askew was called upon for a mere 69 offensive plays this season. He did his job effectively and will continue to be with the Jets as a reserve fullback and special teams player.
Grade: C+

Tight Ends - Anthony Becht was the starter this season, and finished with his most productive season of his career. Becht caught 40 passes for 398 yards. He lacks the ability to stretch the middle of the field however, and his blocking skills are adaquet. The statistic that catches you the most is that of his 40 receptions, zero were for touchdowns. Becht who is in the final year of his contract could have the opportunity to shop the free-agent market. Currently Becht's agent is looking for a deal worth nearly $10 million over the next 5 seasons. That would put him in the top-10 in salary for tight ends, when our scouting staff does not consider him a top-20 player at the position. There are some options in the FA market this year, Bubba Franks will be the most sought after tight end, but after him we could bid for the services of Cameron Cleeland of St Louis, Jason Dunn of Chicago or Steve Heiden from Cleveland. It will be a wait and see approach with Becht.

Chris Baker is also in the final year of his contract, but can be resigned relatively cheap, we will offer him a minimal two year deal. Baker is ok in the passing game, he does struggle with blocking. James Dearth will continue his role with the team as a special teams player, and that could be in jeopardy if we feel we need another long snapper (Machado is the current snapper).
Grade: C+

Wide Receivers - This group for the Jets was perhaps our strongest. Although we still do not possess the big receiver to start at Split End, veteran Wayne Chrebet was once again solid. Although Chrebet's catch total was down from 68 to 59 this season, he found the end zone 8 times. Chrebet was also special after the catch this season, he compiled 329 yards after the catch, an average of 5.5 yards a reception, last season his yac average was 1.4 yards a reception. That helped him average 15.5 yards per catch. Chrebet will be 32-years old next season, and with a cap hit scheduled to be $2.2 million, he will be our starter in all likely hood.

Santana Moss had a very comparable '04 season to '03. His 67 receptions was 4 more than last year, he averaged 14.1 yards per reception, finishing the season with 949 yards. He caught 6 passes for 127 yards in the Jets' playoff lost, stepping up in the big game. Moss will be entering the last season of his contract, next season, and many wonder if it will be his last as a Jet. Although he has the ability to be a top receiver, his numbers just have not justified a deal in the area of $8 million per season.

Tyrone Calico completed his second season in the NFL, and was solid as the WR3. He caught 36 passes for 498 yards and a touchdown, although slightly down from last season, Calico is developing. Calico's big frame, 6'4" makes him an ideal target for Pennington. Calico should work his way into the full-time starting line-up by 2006.

The Jets' 4th receiver this season was David Terrell, who handled the season well. Terrell did not see as much action as anticipated, and a big reason for that is that Pennington does not run any 4-wide receiver sets. Terrell saw action early in the year when Moss missed the first two games, Terrell caught 7 passes for 89 yards in which he was used as a WR3. Terrell gives us insurance at the position.

The 5th receiver position was occupied by rookie free agent, Jerricho Cotchery and Marcus Robinson. Cotchery saw action in games one and two of the season catching a touchdown pass before being injured for the year. Robinson was signed late in the season for insurance, and was never active. Robinson was with the team in 2003.

Grade: B+

Offensive Line - The O-Line was anchored by our center, Kevin Mawae. Mawae's skills are slowly on the decline (our scout says 69), but he is still a top-10 center in the league. Mawae's run blocking abilities are not where they once were, in fact he only was successful on 18.2 percent of his key run blocks, compared to 25 percent last season. However, his pass blocking abilities were outstanding, Mawae gave up only 2 sacks for the season. Currently Mawae is scheduled for a $3.5 million cap hit next season, but he is a player the Jets need to be in the middle of this O-Line.

Last season's signing of Travis Claridge is one that has not lived up to what we had hoped thus far. Claridge was nicked up most of the season, playing in only 10 games, however, he gave up 10 sacks in those games. Last season he only gave up 4, and played every snap. Claridge's run blocking ability did come on as the season progressed, and with the relatively inexpensive price tag ($1.35 million), Claridge will be with the team next season.

The right guard position was one of concern all year. The team was unable to find a veteran through free agency so they drafted Quinn Christensen in the 5th round. Christensen did a nice job in his 9 starts, with a blocking percentage of 28.0 and allowed just 2 sacks. Christensen is an intelligent football player, but the we might look to find a better fit here with Christensen adding the depth that he was originally intended for.

JP Machado was a late free agency signing, and it was a good thing. Macado's versatility allowed him to play left guard, right guard and center when needed. He was also the team's long snapper. Machado's blocking percentage was 26.9 percent, and he allowed just 3 sacks.

Left Tackle Jason Fabini had another solid season with the Jets. Fabini started 14 games at LT, where he was dependable in his 7th season. Fabini is not the big time tackle his contract would make it appear, however, his production is hard to argue with. His blocking percentage of 35.2 percent, and he only allowed 4 sacks while blocking against some of the league's premier pass rushers.

Right Tackle Kareem McKenzie continues to be a question mark to this team, he allowed 7 sacks last season, and his blocking percentage was below 30 percent. McKenzie will probably get the start next season, but it is not impossible to think the team might look to find an elite left tackle, move Fabini to the right and McKenzie to the RG position where he might be a better fit.

Reserve linemen Paul Harker, Dave Yovanovits, Lance Nimmo are signed through next season and will compete for a roster spot. Late season signing LJ Shelton will certainly be gone, as he complained about his playing time in just the short while he was here.

As a collective unit the line allowed 25 sacks which was the second lowest total in the league, however, the rushing attack averaged just 3.61 yards per carry, 27th worst in the league.

Grade: B-
