Report: New York Jets “Smitten” With Geno Smith, Starting Job His To Lose

New York Jets
Rex Ryan reportedly needed the Jets to draft a quarterback to have any chance at saving his job.  The Jets chose Geno Smith in the second round, and its no surprise that Rex and the Jets are feeling lovey dovey. The New York Post is reporting that the Jets are “smitten” with Geno Smith, and so impressed with him after this weekends rookie minicamp, that it’s reportedly his starting quarterback job to lose. Reports say he threw the ball with zip, showed leadership skills, and looked more and more comfortable as the weekend went on. Those sources say Mark Sanchez will get a chance to compete, but that the Mark Sanchez era is essentially over.  Sanchez will probably  be released or traded with the Jets eating most if not all of that $8.25 million he’s due, so that they can move on in a new...

Is Tebow Time Over?

No!

The NY Jets not surprisingly released media star QB Tim Tebow.  To say that the Jets mis-used Tebow in 2012 is an understatement to say the least.  Then they draft highly touted QB Geno Smith to compete against Mark Sanchez for the starting position.

So what will happen next to Tebow?  The statement that always stick with me about Tebow is “wherever he plays, he just wins.”  He is not the typical NFL QB for sure but is a team works to his talents he can be successful.  His NFL career is not over.  Where he lands will be interesting but wherever he goes it will not be because of hype, it will be because a team wants to win. 

The Jets did not want to win.

2013 NFL Draft Round 13 – New York Jets

Sheldon+Richardson
  With the 13th pick of the 2013 NFL Draft, and their second selection in the first round, the Jets take Defensive Tackle Sheldon Richardson out of Missouri. Deciding to enter the NFL Draft after his junior year, he finished the 2012 season tied for second on the team with 75 tackles, a figure that led all defensive tackles in the Southeastern Conference. He also had 10½ tackles for loss, four sacks, seven quarterback hurries and three forced fumbles.  He leads the Mizzou defense with 70 tackles, 9 1/2 resulted in lost yardage. At 6'2", 294 lbs, Richardson has a lot of athleticism for a defensive lineman, shows quickness and is light on his feet.  He gets into the backfield in a heartbeat, beating reach-blocks and will work his way through double-teams if he sees the ball in the quarterback’s hands. A great pick for the Jets who are clearly addressing defensive weaknesses with their two first round selections....

Dee Milliner
  With the 9th pick of the 2013 NFL Draft, the Jets take Cornerback Dee Milliner out of Alabama. Regarded as one of the best cornerbacks in college football, Milliner was a consensus All-American in 2012. As a true freshman in 2010, Milliner played in all 13 games and earned 11 starts. Three times he was named among the Defensive Players of the Week by the Alabama coaching staff. His season-high eight tackles came against Mississippi State.  After the season, he was named a 2010 Freshman All-American by College Football News. In his sophomore season, Milliner played in all 13 games and started six, including in all nickel or dime situations. He had 27 tackles, and ranked second on the team with nine pass breakups while leading the team with three interceptions that he returned for 72 yards. Early in the season, against No. 23 Penn State, Milliner broke up a career best three passes in the Tide's 27–11 win....

2013 New York Jets Draft Preview

Posted on by in MTR Radio, New York, New York Jets, NFL, Sports  |  2 comments
  nfl_draft_065121 New York Jets Draft Preview by Josh Cacella The New York Jets have a lot invested in this draft and they need to pick wisely. The team had massive turnover in the offseason and has lost most of their veteran leadership on the defensive side of the ball. Not only is star CB Darelle Revis gone both starting safeties Laron Landry and Yeremiah Bell have departed and the team also cut ties with LB Bart Scott. The Revis trade gave the Jets the 13th overall pick setting them up with two picks(9,15) in the top 15. Top Priorities  1)      Outside Linebacker – Rex Ryan has been searching for a true pass rushing outside linebacker since his arrival in New York. Both Bryan Thomas and Calvin Pace have underachieved in recent years. Thomas is no longer with the team and Pace was resigned to a one year deal. The only other outside linebackers on...

New York Jets Quietly Making Some Nice Free Agent Signings

Fireman Ed Jets

My New York Jets have become the butt of many jokes recently, and rightfully so.  Things got so bad this season that Fireman Ed, their unofficial cheerleader, stepped down. The season culminated with the the firing of General Manager Mike Tannebaum, the so called “cap expert” who left the Jets in a salary cap nightmare.

To replace Tannebaum, the Jets brought in unheralded John Idzik, former VP of football administration for the Seattle Seahawks. Idzik was and is facing a massive challenge ahead of him, and while his biggest and defining move (fair or unfair) has yet to be made (Darrelle Revis), he has done well in his first few months on the job, Coming into the the offseason the Jets were nearly $20 million over the salary cap, but after some roster cuts and contract restructuring, they were able to create $15 million of cap space. Granted, that wasn’t enough to bring back valuable veterans...

New York Jets Sign Antwan Barnes: New Life for Pass Rusher with Rex Ryan?

Posted on by in Local, New Jersey, New York, New York Jets, NFL, Sports  |  3 comments
New York Jets
The New York Jets have officially signed outside linebacker Antwan Barnes away from the San Diego Chargers, hoping he can regain his 2011 form when he recorded 11 sacks. Antwan Barnes is familiar with Rex Ryan and his defense, having played for Rex Ryan with the Baltimore Ravens in 2007 and 2008. Rex Ryan has done well with former players that he has hand-picked to bring to the Jets, including Bart Scott and Jim Leonhard. Rex Ryan also took on a project pass rusher in Aaron Maybin and got a positive return on his investment. Since the arrival of Rex Ryan in 2009, the New York Jets just haven't had the front seven talent to create a formidable pass rush. Rex Ryan has been forced to resort to exotic pressure packages to get after opposing quarterbacks, leaving the team in some vulnerable coverages on the back end which has resulted in some big plays given up....

Report: Jets Interested in Kevin Kolb

Posted on by in Local, New Jersey, New York, New York Jets, NFL, Sports  |  3 comments
Kevin Kolb
Might as well bring in Donovan McNabb, JaMarcus Russell and Vince Young too. The Jets seem to have no clue what is going on with their QB position. Just hold open tryouts at the park, that would be my suggestion.
The person, who spoke to USA TODAY Sports on condition of anonymity because the talks were to remain private, said Kolb is likely headed elsewhere and that the New York Jets are a possible landing spot. The person said new Jets offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg certainly has a high opinion of Kolb from his days with the Philadelphia Eagles before the team dealt him to Arizona. Kolb started only seven games for the Eagles in his last two seasons with the team and lost his job when Michael Vick replaced him following an injury to Kolb in the 2010 season opener.
