BREAKING NEWS: Jets fire Rex Ryan


After a 2012 showing that posted a terrible 3-13 outing, and had the Jets viewed as one of the most "dysfunctional" organizations in the NFL, the New york jets have decided to part ways with defensive guru Rex Ryan. Under Ryan the Jets went to the AFC championship in back to back years, but in the final two years of his four year coaching stint, regressed going 8-8 and 3-13. It is unclear what the Jets future plans are but it is well known that the face many problems heading into the offseason.

The salary cap: The Jets are known to be in "cap hell" as far as the salary cap is concerned. Signing aging stars to bloated contracts. It is well known around NFL circles that the Jets will have to release such players as former Ryan standout Bart Scott, and outside linebacker Calvin pace to just get under the cap. It is also well known that they are looking at moving quarterback Tim Tebow, as he seemed to cause more distractions in 2012, to the production that he added on the field. It is unknown what the Jets plan to do with impending free agents Laron Landry, Dustin Keller, and Brandon Moore, as they are not in a financial situation to be able to sign them, currently.

The Quarterback: This year seemed to be as much of a indication that you are going to get that Mark sanchez is not the answer at quarterback. With the release of Tebow oncoming, the only quarterback left on the roster besides sanchez will be unkown Greg Mccelroy. Pooh Carlson has been the big buzz around the NFL draft but it is unknown if the Jets would be willing to draft a quarterback high after the failed Sanchez experiment.

The Cranston approach: Rumor around NFL cricles seems to be that the Jets are interested in Boston College head coach Ben Cranston. Cranston is known for his ability to develop quarterbacks as he personally tutored under former stanford coach Jim Harbaugh, and he worked in developing Andrew Luck. Cranston sinch then took over the BC Eagles two years ago and led them to consecutive top ten finishes. It is belived that it would take a record breaking contract to lure him into such a disastor of a situation

Jets hire head coach Ben Cranston

The new york jets have shocked the NFL world by hiring former BC head coach Ben Cranston to a four year contract. The terms of the deal were not disclosed but it is belived to be a record setting deal. During his presser Cranston made it clear that he was looking at returning the Jets to a stable, consistent winning franchise, and that he was here to hoist the Lombardi, not grab headlines. When asked about the quarterback situation Cranston was noncomital, saying that he would "evaluate the current players" and "do what is best for the new york jets organization". Cranston was given a dual deal as far as coach and power over personel goes, as he was given part GM duties. Cranston has brought along with him Steve Spagnuolo to be his defensive coordinator, and former Cleveland Head coach, and his good friend Pat Shurmur to coordinate the offense. If nothing else the New York Jets will be a interesting team to watch, with their blockbuster staff heading into the 2013 season.

This week in Jets football

There are a few interesting tidbits to not on the eve of free agency as the Jets have come to a three year agreement with left guard Matt slauson. During a year with makeshift moves on the right side of the line, Slauson along with Ferguson and Mangold anchored the left side, which also had the most rushing attempts towards it during the season, a good re signing for the Jets. The Jets have also agreed to terms with right tackle Austin howard on a two year deal. Howard is young and a bit raw but showed some promise at points throughout the season.

Jets ink three



The Jets have announced that they've come to terms with three players, including journeyman quarterback David Garrard who is expected to compete with Mark Sanchez for the starting posistion in training camp. Garrard who was inked to a one year deal, is the type of west coast passer that head coach Ben Cranston covets. The Jets have also signed free agent strong safety Bob Sanders to a one year deal, who will help steve spagnuolo convert the defense to a 4-3, and tight end Delanie walker.

It would appear as if Bart Scott, Eric Smith and Tim Tebow have all played their last downs as New York Jets. The team announced earlier that they have parted ways with the former starters, who are getting a chance to test the free agent waters.

Jets draft preview


Heading into the 2013 NFL draft the New york jets, under new head coach Ben Cranston have a plethora of needs to fill. Picking at #1 overall the Jets have the luxury of selecting the best player on the board, the debate among media analysists, and fans, would seem to be "who is that player?". The Jets have hosted multiple workouts with Halfback Andrew Niles who many scouts believe to be a Jerome Bettis sized back with Leasean Mccoy speed, the only knock on Niles coming out is his injury history as he has had multiple ankle problems his senior year. We would be hard pressed not to spark the quarterback debate either, as the organization is believed to be very high on Pooh Carlson, who with his mechanics and solid mobility reminds them a lot of a Ben Roethlisberger type passer. The question is, when the chips are down who does Cranston pick? The franchise quarterback, or the "safe" halfback? On the defensive end, it would apear that the team is enamored with middle linebacker Jazz Robinson who is projected to go in the third round, its just unclear at this moment if they would spend a pick that high on a posistion already filed by David Harris. Keep your eyes out for a possible Revis trade as well. Sources would indicate that the star corner is not happy with the new managements approach to a longterm extension that he's looking for coming off of a complete ACL tear. Either way, expect fireworks to fly in New York.

Selection:
1. Pooh Carlson QB UCF
2. Jazz Robinson MLB West Virginia
3. Kenneth Washington LG Miami Univ.
4. Darius Harris WR Marshall
5. Gabriel Waters CB stanford
6. Carl Shinn HB Northern state
7. Alex Watson DE Savannah State

The Jets pulled the trigger with number one overall on their percieved franchise signal caller. Speaking to coach Cranston he referred to it as a "no brainer" stating "when you have the first overall selection, and a guy is on the board that you think can lead your team for the next decade you take him", and the Jets did just that with the selection of Quarterback Pooh Carlson. Carlson has tremendous mechanics, midfield accuracy, mobility and arm strength, the only knock on him coming out was his hieght, being only 6'1, but Drew Brees and Russell Wilson have seemed to adapt to the league just fine. At selection two the franchise took the defensive player they were enamored with, who many considered a reach in Jazz Robinson. Cranston projects Robinson to be a Jonathan Vilma esque linebacker, who can lead his 4-3 going forward. The Jets addressed a slew of needs in Guard, Reciever and halfback, as they were very happy to get Carl Shinn in the sixth. After scouting they believe Shinn can be the Darren Sproles of their offense down the line if developed correctly.

Jets open training camp


The New York Jets have officially began Training camp that their complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Going into TC the team faces a host of questions

Quarterback: Coach Cranston has stated that the starting posistion as well as the backup would be a open competition throughout training camp and the preseason. The Jets have the number one overall selection Pooh Carlson, as well as former top ten pick Mark Sanchez and journeyman David Garrard all competing for the top spot, as well as a posistion on the roster. You would have to believe Carlson is the favorite going into this as the Jets just heavily invested in him, but Cranston was never one to play favorites at BC, so keep your eyes peeled to how camp and the preseason rolls along

The "Revis block": The Revis rumors aren't going away, as its believed the Jets are shopping him for the "best possible deal", most likely looking for a first round selection in next years draft. Revis has simply responded with multiple "next question" remarks when asked about the rumors. It will be interesting to see what unfolds as the corners currently cover up the glaring weakness at safety that the Jets have, with the best starter being free agent signee bob sanders, who never can seem to stay healthy.

Skill posistions: There was more of a question mark at halfback before the team announced earlier today that they came to terms on a 1 year "tryout" deal with former steeler Rashard Mendenhall, the team also agreed to one year deals with recievers Donte Stallworth and Arnaz Battle who are both expected to compete for spots during Training camp. Besides depth their isnt much, as the jets only bolster one "all star" type talent, that being Santonio Holmes. Keep a eye out for free agent pickup Delanie Walker to make a impact this preseason as well, as cranston leans heavily on his tight ends.

Linebacker: Throughout the practices we are getting looks where cranston is putting Jazz Robinson at mike, David Harris at left and Calvin pace at right outside linebacker, it will be interesting to see if this is a trend that continues as Cranston will try to utilize and maximize all the talent on the roster.

Notes:
-Jets signed Rashard Mendenhall to 1 year deal
- Jets signed Arnaz Battle to 1 year deal
- Jets signed Donte Stallworth to 1 year deal
- First preseason game 7:00 pm Lucas Oil Stadium @ Colts
