Jets Stumble Out Of The Gates
Hempstead, NY - A day after the Jets lost there preseason opener to Detroit, 13-6, Coach McGregor met with the media to discuss how the new season is progressing.
"We came out of yesterday's game unscathed, Santana Moss did tweak his hamstring, and we will sit him down until he is fully recovered. If this were the regular season, he could play. As far as the game goes, we need to find a way to put points on the board. We did OK moving the ball (312 yards in total offense), and when you do that you expect more than two field goals. We played a young offensive line out there, and there inexperienced showed, with a couple of costly penalties and sacks. I thought Chad threw the ball well, and perhaps his best pass of the day was the long touchdown pass to Chrebet that got called back. The receivers did a decent job getting open and pulling down the ball. You saw Calico make a tough catch over the middle there, that is why we need him to be able to start this season. His size is a big plus for our passing game over the middle. The running game did OK, like I said earlier, we had a inexpereinced line out there, so there were some mistakes. I thought Curtis did a nice job, as well as JJ Arrington. On the O-Line, we got rookies Jamaal Brown and Lequalan McDonald some quality time, and I think they saw the difference from the collegiate level to the pros. They both made some good plays and, well, some not so good plays. On defense, we played some of the younger guys, including Dana McAllister and Justin Miller at corner. They did a decent job, McAllister had a tough time adjusting last season, but he seems better prepared and should see more time. We also need to get our first round pick (who just signed) in there when he is in game condition. He is behind now, and will probably stuggle at times this season. We go to St. Louis next week and some of the people we are looking to see are Rattay at quarterback and Morton getting some more carries at back. We will also get a look at Cotchery who missed 15 games last year with an injury. We should also get our first look at Shazor in game action. We have been happy thus far with last year's third round pick, Pruitt and newly signed Damien Richardson at the strong safety position. At this time I will take any questions:" "Coach, you did not bring in a replacement for Jordan, will Morton be handling the backup role, or are you looking elsewhere?' "We expect Morton to play the HB2 spot this season. When the organization made the committment to resign Morton, they told him he would get a chance, he has worked hard and now he gets his chance." "Is Chrebet's days as a starter with the Jets coming to a close?" "Not sure at this time, we would like Wayne to be able to work out of his slot position. He has been playing out of postion for the past two seasons, and did a good job, but we need some size there and Calico and Terrell give us that." "You have a new defensive coordinator this season, how have things changed?" "Ernest (Shields) has come in running. He likes to use more players than we have in the past, rotating the front seven, and moving people around. The players will adjust and I am sure they will be fine. He likes to play more zone than we did last season, and use pressure through the line, and keep the backers in coverage." "Any rookie free agents that have caught your attention?" The corner, Elimimien has looked good, he went undrafted probably because of his combine numbers, but he has looked pretty good in camp. We have six corners here, not sure we want to carry that." "Any position group you feel needs to be addressed before the regular season?" "Right now, no, but there have been no injuries and it is still early." "Anything else fellas?" "Thanks"

Preseason - Week 2
The Jets went to St. Louis, and once again, Coach McGregor and Staff got to see what this team would look like if injuries were to hit this team hard. The Jets rested a lot of their starters and the reserves struggled to do much of anything against the St. Louis Rams.
Tim Rattay played the first quarter and completed 5 of 8 passes for just 28 yards. Rattay did not complete a pass for more than 10 yards. Navarre came in to relieve Rattay and did not fair much better. Navarre completed 13 of 30 passes for 126 yards and one interception. The Jets may need to see what backup quarterbacks become available following the preseason. Neither looks ready to step in. Chad Morton was given the opportunity for some touches and played well, he carried for 54 yards on 13 carries. Other players taking advantage of the extended playing time included, defensive end, Bryan Thomas, who had 6 tackles and a sack. Coach McGregor also pointed out the play of reserve guard, Paul Harker, and cornerback Jacoby Shepherd. In the end the Jets could just not muster up enough, and were defeated 24-6. Next week the team will travel to Minnesota, who is has turned over its roster with 33 new faces, including former Jets' quarterback, Vinny Testaverde who is expected to start in place of Duante Culpepper who will miss the season with recurring concussion problems. The Jets figure to come out with their starters to get a good look at where the team is at before it opens its season in two week at home with Miami.

Preseason - Week 3
Hempstead, NY - The Jets arrived back home from there game last night in Minnesota, and the mood was not that of upbeat. The team dropped its third preseason game, by a score of 23-14. The Jets came out quickly in the first quarter and were up 14-0, on Chad Pennington passes to Wayne Chrebet and Curtis Martin. Then, the reins were turned over to the reserves who struggled. Rattay completed 9 of 16 for 112 yards and one interception. Reserve running backs, JJ Arrington and Davis combined for 13 carries for 36 yards, as the offense puttered the rest of the way.
Former Jet, Vinny Testaverde played a quarter and a half, and looked steady. He then stepped aside for 2nd year quarterback, Nathan Chandler who torched the Jets for 206 yards, on 16 of 25 passing. New Viking, Chris Chambers got the best of the Jets newly designed secondary as he caught 8 passes for 133 yards. Positives for the Jets was the continued preseason success of Tyrone Calico. Calico has caught 12 passes for nearly 200 yards in three games. Defensive Tackle Ty Warren showed some pass rushing skills as he had a 2 sack game. Wayne Chrebet continues to show no signs of aging, 7 catches for 90 yards. Alex Molden looks to have found his comfort with the Jets, as he continues to have a solid preseason. The Jets signed offensive tackle, Scott Sanderson to be the primary backup behind Fabini and McKenzie, apparently the Jets do not feel Jamaal Brown is ready to play this season. The Jets have continued to monitor the transaction logs with interest at quarterback and defensive tackle. Next week the Jets will close out there preseason with a home game against Arizona.

Preseason - Week 4
The Jets concluded their preseason with a lost to the Arizona Cardinals, 17-6 before 70,800 people. The defense was torched for 401 yards to the young Cardinals, who have looked stong this preseaons, going 3-1. The Jets concluded their preseason at 0-4.
The offense moved the ball well at times, but just could not position themselves to score some points, as evident by their 32 points during the preseason. Curtis Martin looked stong this preseason, rushing the ball for 180 yards on 38 carries, an average of nearly 4.8 yards per carry. Martin's rushing average over the past two seasons is a dismal, 3.42. The Jets other offensive standout was the veteran Wayne Chrebet, who caught 24 passes during the preseason for nearly 350 yards. Defensively the team seemed to regress instead of progressing, rookie safety, Ernest Shazor struggled during the preseason as well as new additions, Aaron Smith and Kenny Peterson. Smith and Peterson have big shoes to fill, and the Jets expect them to get the job done. The injury report brought concern to the Jets camp as they were informed the Chad Morton, HB2, and Kick Return Specialists suffered a broken foot and will be out for approximately 8 weeks. The team will have to make the decision to place him on injured reserve or not. The Jets will now also decide if 7th round pick, JJ Arrington is ready to carry the load of a HB2, or if the team has to make a move for a reliable backup. If they go with the later thought, Morton will surely be placed on IR. Other releases, James Dearth (TE), Liam Ezekiel (ILB), Damien Richardson (SS), and Jerricho Cotchery (FL). Following the game the Jets announced the four players the would be released to get the roster down to the maximum of 53 players.

2005 NFL Season
Opening Day in the NFL is this weekend and things look promising in New York for the Jets. Coming off a 10-6 season last year, and the AFC East Crown, the Jets used the off-season to fill some holes of last year to improve. Among the additions this season are: tight end, Dallas Clark, guard Steve Sciullo, tackle Scott Anderson, defensive end Aaron Smith, defensive tackle Kenny Peterson, linebacker Clark Haggans, linebacker Khalid Abdullah, cornerback Andre Dyson, and rookies, safety Ernest Shazor, cornerbacks Justin Miller, Abraham Elimimen, tackle Jammal Brown, guard LeQualan McDonald, tight end Alex Smith, and running backs JJ Arrington, and Anthony Davis.
Gone from last season are: running back Lamont Jordan, tight ends, Anthony Becht, and James Dearth, wide receivers Jerricho Cotchery and Marcus Robinson, guard Dave Yovanovits, tackles LJ Shelton and Lance Nimmo, defensive ends Shaun Ellis and Josh Evans, defensive tackle Jason Ferguson, linebackers, Hannibal Navies, Jason Glenn, and Al Singleton, cornerbacks Aaron Beasley, and Jason Webster, safety Tyrone Carter. The team looks solid in most areas, offensively, a possible concern could still be the consistency of the running game. Sciullo is an upgrade, however, he still is not the perfect fit for a team that is looking to run the ball. Sciullo is more of a pass blocker. The Jets will be counting on Claridge to step up his performance from last season and hope that Martin can still get the job done. Many around the league feel the Jets should have looked for a running back in the draft or through free agency. The passing game looks ready to take off. Pennington is developing in leaps and bounds and the team has an offensive line ready to pass protect. The passing game will be what this offense relies on this season. Defensively the team has a new look, once again. Two out of the four starters on the D-Line are new, gone are Ellis and Ferguson and in are Smith and Peterson. Ellis underachieved and therefore was easy to see move on, however, Ferguson came off a good season, and snubbed the Jets by not letting them have a chance to counter his offer in Seattle. The Jets quickly signed Peterson, a young developing DT, who lacks the run stuffing ability of Ferguson, but can rush the passer. The secondary was overhauled as well. Gone are Beasley and Carter, and new are Dyson and Shazor. This may not be the answer early, but should come around and be one of the Jets strenghts this season. The team is in decent position with the cap, and barring any run of injuries should find itself competing for the division crown once again. Figure an 11-5 season for the Jets, with New England at 10-6, Buffalo 8-8 and Miami at 5-11.

Jets Shutdown Vick and Co.
Hempstead, NY - The New York Jets played their best defensive game, statistically, under third year coach Ed McGregor yesterday, as the Jets defeated the Atlanta Falcons, 17-3.
Atlanta, expecting to improve dramatically from last year's 5-10-1 performance, a year in which Michael Vick was suspended for the season for off field conduct, began the year 1-0, with a victory over the Saints that saw them score 30 points. The Jets are looking towards taking that next step, however, the season did not get off to that type of start, as Miami, without Jay Fiedler, came with in inches of defeating the Jets as Dolphins place kicker, Olindo Mare sailed a 38 yarder wide left with nine seconds left to give the Jets the 27-26 victory. New Defensive Coordinator, Ernest Shields, who came over from Tampa Bay was visibly frustrated on the sidelines during the Miami game at how the team was responding to his calls, however, the team seemed to be responding to Shields this week as the Jets held the Falcons to just 184 yards in total offense. After just two weeks the defesne is ranked 5th against the run, and 1st against the pass. Let's not get ahead of ourselves though, this was against two teams that were playing with a backup quarterback and a rusty quarterback. Offensively the Jets still are struggling to run the ball. One of the goals of the offseason was to improve the defense and the running game, McGregor was not expecting to lead the league in rushing, however, he does expect the team to control the tempo of the games through the run, and be able to make key short yardage runs to sustain drive, both have not been evident in the first two games as the Jets have thrown the ball more than anyone else, 91 times. The Jets will get a true test of their defense this week as the surprising 2-0 Titans come to New York. The Titans who were in terrible cap shape have once again appeared to find their way out and put a good product on the field. Steve McNair is hot, a quarterback rating of 120.1, and first round pick, running back Leon Washington, which everyone scoffed at when the Titans made the pick, has 210 yards rushing. Receivers Mason and Lloyd have combined for 29 receptions as the Titans 3rd ranked passing game, and 14th ranked rushing game look forward to their meeting. McNair stated, "Last season in the playoffs we thought we would be playing the Jets, however, they did not get by Pittsburgh. We look forward to the challenge this season."

Jets Dynasty Dead?
It appears that the Jets dynasty has come to an end. After more than a year of working on a detailed dynasty, editing files and recreating the NFL Universe, a hard drive crash may have wiped it our. Stay tuned...perhaps it can be saved.
