Schedule anounced today.

What cracked me up about yesterday's schedule release was the length various media outlets were going to in order to convince viewers/listeners that they were going to have this stunning news first.

[quote="Frayed Knot"] At what point did non-events that surround sports (selection shows, draft shows, schedule releases, pre-game nonsense, etc.) start getting treated on a par with the events themselves? |

Its a December game which could have been tough outdoors in Buffalo. But Tarana has a dome. Could be an equalizer.

i'm sure they'll sign a bunch of UFAs, and there is little difference between late round picks and undrafted FAs. They'll also pick thru other team's cast offs, which can sometimes produce interesting players.

[quote="Nymr83":3hdq69vx]Jets beat the Giants last night in what, for the preseason, amounted to an exciting game.[/quote:3hdq69vx]
You could say I came for the Sanchez, and stayed for the show.
[quote="Nymr83":3hdq69vx]Nymr's game notes:
-Lito Sheppard looked like absolute garbage, Manning didn't bother throwing the ball within 15 yards of Revis because he didn't have to, Sheppard's man-to-man coverage ability looks non-existant[/quote:3hdq69vx]
Oh, my Lord, are you right-- you might as well nickname him "Flag Factory" now-- he had handfuls of jersey on the inside routes and hooks, and letting folks fly by him on the outside 'go's and late-release post routes.
I still like the kid, Lowery, who was damn solid earlier in the season last year, and had tight man going in the second half of Saturday's scrimmage.
[quote="Nymr83":3hdq69vx]
-Jim Leonard is returning punts, but didn't really get the chance to show anything[/quote:3hdq69vx]
He made a couple of nice run reads I saw, actually flying in for a tackle-for-loss on one of them. If he gives us ANYTHING close to last year... he and Rhodes will be funfunfun to watch in the defensive backfield.
[quote="Nymr83":3hdq69vx]
-Sanchez didn't look bad, and he looked good on one play where he threw down field (to a wide open receiver, lito sheppard must have been guarding him) while scrambling with 2 defenders in his face
[/quote:3hdq69vx]
The Stuckey TD? That was nice.
The one thing that stuck out to my eyes was his composure. Like the Ravens did, the Giants threw a LOT of big-boy blitz and stunt packages at him-- including on the TD, which was a 5-man rush, I think-- this time, no happy feet, or eyes drifting to the rushers.
[quote="Nymr83":3hdq69vx]
-Keller pulled an invisible man act, which is not going to be a good idea for this offense, he's the most talented guy they have catching out there.
-the jets receivers put some nice "madden" style moves on defenders once they actually have the ball
[/quote:3hdq69vx]
Talent-wise, this passing game is the football equivalent of a mistake hitter-- it won't be able to beat a good pass D, at least not this year, methinks. Any passing game production will have to flow as counterpoint to the pounding of the ground game, and the damage that causes.
[quote="Nymr83":3hdq69vx]
-the defense creamed Carr, but didnt get enough presure on manning[/quote:3hdq69vx]
Between this and the penalties-- this team's looking positively Raiderful in that respect-- the defense gives me nervous. Bart Scott, I like... I worry about getting consistent penetration this season, ESPECIALLY without Pace for the first four.
[quote="Nymr83":3hdq69vx]
btw, why the fuck did the giants go for 2 down by a point? i was laughing my ass off when Carr threw the incompletion and laughing even harder when they were forced to go for 2 on the next TD and the 3rd string RB missed an obvious hole and cut the wrong way (the broadcasters even called him out on it, thats how open the hole was)[/quote:3hdq69vx]

Goodell can look all he wants. Favre played in all the games, so-- as per current NFL rules-- whether or not he was listed on the injury reports should be moot. I have a running argument with the Packer-fan bodega clerk around the corner you could call "Quarterbacks I'd Rather Have Than Favre/Bitch You Crazy." It's fun watching the veins pop in his neck when I bring up names like "Moon" and "Cunningham." Even in his ostensible prime, he was an unapologetic gambler-- much more so than you really EVER want your quarterback to be, outside of being down 14 with 3 minutes to go-- and much more "thrower" than "quarterback." His personality flaws are only recently catching up with the flaws in his game... and it's a flawed game. (I don't think of him as one of the top 20 quarterbacks in league history... he MAY not crack the top 30 or 40, really.)

By the late third, I almost felt bad for Schaub-- this defense is VIOLENT. (And that's without Pace and Ellis-- virtually all of last year's pass rush and about 2/3 of the D-line tackles.) Win or lose, this should be a fun season to watch.

(Those of you who are shocked should pay more attention.) I wish the 143 year old owner of the Bills would just drop already, so that his team could be moved to L.A. where they belong and the Jets would become the local AFC team on TV here, and therefore on every week in Syracuse as the Giants and Bills currently are.

Of course that moves assumes that the Syracuse AFC affiliate would choose the Jets as their prime go-to "home" team with Buffalo gone and not, say, Pittsburgh. Besides, I think the NFL likes having no team in LA. Not only does it give the nation's second largest market the pick of the best TV games each week without having to worry about serving the needs of some pesky home club but LA also gets to sit out there as a silent threat to other cities that if they don't come up with the public funds to either upgrade the current stadium or build a completely new one then the home team is as good as gone.

[quote="Frayed Knot":k5ng6bmq]Of course that moves assumes that the Syracuse AFC affiliate would choose the Jets as their prime go-to "home" team with Buffalo gone and not, say, Pittsburgh.[/quote:k5ng6bmq] I am basing this on the fact that the Jets are generally the AFC team on local TV when Buffalo is off, or on a prime time game, or playing in a different time slot in a week where CBS has two games on. Sadly for me, this leaves 6-8 Jets games per year not on locally unless I go to a bar to watch or wish to shell out hundreds of dollars in a switch to DirecTV (and now, the pricing is just too ridiculous for me to consider that). Ideally, I'd be able to buy a low-def video live feed on the Internet, which I would pay a reasonable rate for if it were offered a la MLB. Not that the NFL does offer it, thanks to their eternal fan-hating exclusivity deal with DirecTV. FWIW, the Eagles get similar 2nd billing as the backup NFC team, due (I suspect) to proximity as well as SU grad Donovan McNabb's presence on the roster.

[quote="metirish":3sxxh0f3]What about the old chestnut that gets trotted out about LA not being a good NFL city?[/quote:3sxxh0f3] Al Michaels (LA resident Al Michaels that is) had a rant about this during last night's game. They were talking (as was everyone it seems) about Jerry Jones's new palace pleasure-dome in Dallas when Michaels used that as a jumping off point to trash that "old chestnut" as you call it - saying something along the lines of; 'it's all about getting the proper stadium'. Roger Goodell must have popped an erection over that one since it's basically the NFL policy that if your city wants (or wants to keep) an NFL franchise than it better foot a sizable portion of the bill for a new crib or at least for improved luxury boxes for the old one. And, especially for warm-weather cities or domes, the carrot they hold out is the one where they'll promise the city fathers a Super Bowl once every decade or so so the place will "pay for itself". Besides, the knock on LA being primarily a college football town was being uttered as a cautionary tale to the Dodgers moving out there now over half a century ago. 'They'll never draw' claimed some, although they were setting attendance records before long even though they had a cross-town rival within the first three years. An NFL team would do fine in LA, the league just doesn't see it as necessary and, in some ways (see above) prefers it without one.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter so much, as neither one should be touching the ball when the team is driving for a touchdown with 50 seconds to go.

[quote="LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr":3n2i9xdn]WHOOT! I root for a good sports team![/quote:3n2i9xdn] This! Ironically, as Buffalo was playing an NFC game this week, and this was CBS' week to air two day games, the Giants and Jets were on locally and Buffalo was not (the late game locally was Miami-San Diego). So perhaps the worm has turned here! Or, not, then plan B, which is that I will use dicey streaming software and visit creepy web sites to find disreputable links in an attempt to stream Jets video next week to my little 20" monitor while the local affiliates continue to air Buffalo games in lieu of a GOOD football team. Thanks DirecTV, you monopolizing whores.

Well you wouldn't know it by looking at the score, but the Jets' defense was very good again today. They held the best offense in the league to 10 points (the other 14 were given up by Sanchez on two turnovers for touchdowns) and only 3 points in the first 3 quarters. Sanchez had a rough day with an INT going 90+ yards for a TD return and a fumble holding the ball too long in his own end zone. He threw another pick to seal the deal in the 4th, and then another that didn't matter in desperation time. You knew a game like this was coming for a rookie QB, I still think he's done a good job overall. Still 3-1, still in first place (h2h win over 3-1 NE), and Calvin Pace will rejoin an already scary defense unit next Monday night in Miami!

Yeah, the defense showed up and Sanchez played like he was a rookie facing one of the league's best teams. A bump in the road. Nice chance for the Jets to fatten up on games against Miami and Buffalo coming up next.

My pop lived in NO for years; we went to watch the Saints a handful of times on occasions I visited. This was before I moved to NYC and started watching the Jets, who I grew to love more.

But my allegiance to the Saints remained (what's there not to like about a team that has the fleur-des-lis as their principal emblem).

At best? He's big (6'3"), fast, bullishly strong, and has demonstrated an ability to be not just a "deep threat," but a deep WEAPON (IIRC, 9 catches of 40 yards or more in 2007) and a red-zone threat, too (16 TDs, 39" vertical leap). IOW, he's potentially Brandon Marshall/Larry Fitzgerald at a bargain-basement price. As long as the draft picks are both second-day picks-- a very acceptable risk-- I have no problem with this.

The NFL, like MLB, has a trading deadline. The NFL's deadline comes sooner in the season than MLB's, though. This year it is October 20th. In-season trades of star players are typically rare, but they do occur.

He's being investigated by the NFL and Ohio police for an "incident" outside a club. He allegedly punched a friend of basketballer LaBron James. There is prescedent that the NFL can suspend him. And he's a free agent after this year. I wonder how many games he will actually get to play. But if he plays, he can be a big help to the passing game. Later

Probably true, although I don't think that stuff is quite the brain surgery it's often made out to be - even as some of these coaches have (by their own admission in many cases) ridiculously over-complicated the game. Generally if a team wants to get rid of a guy who isn't good enough to even be a backup on their club he's not going to be good enough for another club either. That kills more potential trades, IMO, than any fear of an adjustment period. The NFL also liked to use that claim about the difficulty of adjusting to a team's "system" as a reason why free-agency would never work in their league. They'd whine about how unless an offensive line was able to play together every day for 10 straight years they'd never become a truly cohesive unit and therefore any liberalization of player movement would degrade the game. FA-gency eventually happened of course and the game didn't fall apart despite the cries of the owners & coaches and, for the most part, the press, who happily repeated the league dictum as if it were chipped into a tablet.

I am thoroughly disgusted. The New Orleans loss was easy to shrug off, the Dolphins loss hurt but there were positives (Sanchez and Edwards) and it would be easily forgotten with presumed wins against the Bills and Raiders, but losing to the Bills, throwing 5 interceptions (and a 6th by Weatherford on a botched FG), and failing to score in the second half was just horrible.

its sucks for washington because its not his fault, not his agents fault, and not the teams fault... the major impediment in their talks was the upcoming new collective bargaining agreement and potential uncapped year if that doesnt happen. if a CBA was in place for another year they'd have a contract already, at least according to everything i've read as for the jets its nice to blow (and shut) someone out, but i wont be impressed again until they beat a team that a) has a defense and b) isn't quarterbacked by the second coming of ryan leaf... but then the raiders seem to specialize in 1st round busts.

It's to be taken with a grain of salt, naturally, since, it took place against the Raiders. But Shonn Greene kicks three different kinds of ass as a tailback. With the Jets' o-line road-grading Seymour and the gang, he was physically punishing the second-level D on contact, and running around them at will when he got tired of running through them. As worried as I am about Leon and Kris Jenkins, that's how excited I am by this kid's running. He stays low to the ground, with the shoulders square. I'm thinking he's a bowling ball at the goal-line, too.

the defense was bad today, their 2nd bad game in 9 this season, and this is without Kris Jenkins. Darelle Revis was returning punts (Leonard has a thumb injury preventing him from doing so, and Washington is out for the year) Did they cut Justin Miller after 1 week? Revis, imo, is too valuable to use on punt return duties.

Big run plays early and crunch-time follies notwithstanding, the defense WAS actually decent-- the Jags made hay out of blown tackles early, and didn't have a first down until the last drive in the second half. The killer boner might have been sticking Revis on the reanimated bones of Torry Holt early instead of, y'know, their leading receiver. Mike Sims-Walker had all his catches-- including the TD-- with Lowery-- in for Sheppard-- guarding him; Revis wasn't put on MSW until after he scored to put them up 21-10. Although... if you're an irony fan, it's tough to beat this: it's the crowd that might have cost the Jets the game yesterday. Late in the 4th, with the Jags on a crucial third-down, Marcedes Lewis got lined up opposite Kerry Rhodes, who was mistakenly playing up in press coverage, having misheard the D call. Jim Leonhard noticed Rhodes' mistake, and called over to Rhodes to drop back 10 yards... only Rhodes didn't hear Leonhard, because of the crowd's volume. Lewis ran right past Rhodes-- who was in position to defend a mid-range sideline pass-- and Garrard hit him over the middle for 33 yards on what, essentially, was the game-ender.

Garbage time for the Jets , a question here. With the team seemingly in a win now mode going in to the season what to do now? How do the win now vets co-exist with the rookie coach and QB?, no point sitting Sanchez as he's the future but how does Ryan motivate his team now? Seems a mess to me.

well, for now at least, the motivation remains winning. in baseball, a 40-60 team is hopeless, because even the best of teams loses games and going 51-11 the rest of the way is essentially impossible because of the sample size involved. going the equivalent 5-1 in the NFL isn't. 9-7 doesnt gaurantee a playoff berth but its a goal, and "we're not out of it yet" should be all the motivation anyone needs

Not that I can't understand the impulse, but that kind of sauce is more palatable in football, where hitting harder, running harder, doing everything harder generally HELPS (whereas in most other sporting endeavors, that tends to lead to mistakes).

Atlanta may be without Matt Ryan. The Jets will have to hope that Indy and Cincy are looking ahead to the already-clinched playoffs because the Jets will need to win all 3 games to make the playoffs. 9-7 won't cut it with H2H losses to MIA and JAC and a conference record almost gauranteed to be worse than anyone else that matters at 5-5.

Great game. Colts rest their two best defenders, Freeney and Mathis, but still win 35-31. Those guys are key for them on D too, getting the pass rush. Nice of them to knock Jacksonville out of the mix, but now they're probably more likely to keep playing starters next week. And watching the way their offense works I don't see why they'd want to rest guys and screw up their rhythm. I like Peyton. Ridiculous as a player, and he's delivering a good post-game interview now. And his SNL appearance was hilarious. I'm too young to really appreciate Marino and Montana in their primes, so I'm not including them. I'd say Manning and Elway are the best I've ever seen. Except for Vinny of course. Vinny's the best of all time.

I'm happy with the Jets season overall though. They have established a great defense and a great offensive line, rookie RB Shonn Greene looks like the real deal to me for whenever Thomas is gone though they still need a receiver (Edwards can't catch too often) and I've lost faith in Keller at tight end. If Feeley hit his Field Goals today the Jets would still be in the hunt. Sanchez needs to learn to play at the NFL level but that takes time, and everyone knew that until the jets started 3-0 and everyone started dreaming about (at least) the playoffs. Sanchez already looks GOOD when compared to some other young QBs like Russell and Freeman.

I'd be happy with 7-9 or 9-7 at this point (although the defense has gelled a lot faster than I expected... and has been at its best at some times when it's been missing key parts-- Pace early on, Jenkins later; it IS a shame to waste that). It's more disappointing that Sanchez's decision-making is just as iffy as it was on Day One. Maybe moreso. He makes a great couple of throws per game, and then refuses to check down when he has to about 5 times a game... if he's throwing 3 picks at this defense, which has been putrid against other throwers throughout the season, he's got a lot more growing to do than anyone thought even a month ago. I should hope that he'd be better than Jamarcus Russell, who is terrible, with a reportedly terrible work ethic. He's NOT better than Freeman, frankly, who-- apart from a two-game stretch, has played pretty damn well, and kept the Bucs in 4-5 games they shouldn't have been in. In short, I expected shaky play. But I expected it early, with some signs of improvement later. It seems that his judgement's gotten worse, if anything.

Interesting matchup week 17. Bengals really have nothing to play for. Palmer is a little dinged up, and the last time they were in the playoffs he got hurt on their first series. I can't believe Lewis would leave him in there the whole game, especially against the Jet defense. Their backup RB remember is Larry Johnson, who, if given lots of carries will certainly be motivated to show something to potential 2010 employers. Also in play here is that if the Jets win, these two teams will more than likely be playing in Cincinnati the following weekend. So how much of his game plan is Lewis willing to show? I would also say that at equal strength I don't think the Bengals are much better than the Jets. All this looks like Advantage Jets. But I've lived through too many of these Same Old Jets games to get too far ahead of myself.

Now the page doesn't go into the scenario of what happens should the Jets lose, but it seems to me that since them winning puts them at the top of the heap if all those teams wind up tied at 9-7 then they would also be one of the two teams going on if everyone also wound up 8-8. That would of course mean that every necessary team (Denver, Jax, Miami, Houston & Pitt) would need to lose for the Jets to lose and still move on but stranger things have happened ... like this past weekend for instance.

Either the Steelers win, finishing 9-7 and slipping into the #5 position... or the Dolphins win, and they knock out Gang Green due to divisional tiebreaks... or the two teams tie, and Pittsburgh is in over the Jets (8-7-1 over 8-8). Point is, if the Jets lose, one of those teams slips in ahead of them. Should everyone else lose/win to get to 8-8, I believe Denver or Jacksonville also backs in over the rest (Denver MAY have a better common-games winning percentage; if not, Jax would have gotten to its 8-8 with a better conference record).

To be fair, Revis-- an off-field friend of his-- and he have been going back and forth on Twitter all week. ("I had a dream Ocho came to Revis Island... and disappeared," etc.) Also, on a media conference call-- according to the Snooze-- he outlined potential TD celebration plans.

I didn't read the link, but they often don't sell beer for night games at The Meadowlands. I've seen it like six times on tv and keep seeing it as news online ... slow news day. I think it goes back to a Monday night game many beers ago when there were a lot of fights, arrests, etc. and it put into focus that an NFL game could turn into a riot scene a la soc- cer stadiums in other parts. I've been to about 200 NFL games and have never been scared of the crowds, but I know a half dozen people who don't feel the same way and some stuff that goes on (or used to go on) is pretty bizarre. I drink as much if not more as most people, I've never got- ten the whole beer muscles thing. I want to hug people when drinking not beat them up.

At least part of it goes back to the last J-E-T-S game at S-H-E-A when fans got destructive with the place. The fact that there's a playoff spot at stake will probably help to keep the hooligans in line but if the game got out of hand in a negative way I could see the monkeys getting out of their cages.

Shoulda just made em play again right after an hour or so break. - and that the Jets v Bengals not only wind up against each other in two consecutive weeks but in two consecutive NFL games (last game reg season then first game post-season) has got to be a rarity if not a first

What have they got to lose? They were dead two weeks ago. Good experience for the rookie QB and to a lesser extent the coach. If the defense can continue to play this well who knows what might happen. I'll be disappointed in a loss, but I ain't looking for too much more than one more win and done at this point unless they come out and smoke them again on the road.

Charles Woodson wins AP Defensive Player of the Year. Revis finishes second. I didn't see much of Woodson, but I did see Revis, and I have a hard time believing that Woodson was clearly better (as the voting would indicate). I wonder if this is a case of voters looking at stats (Woodson's 9 ints, 2 TD returns, and 3 forced fumbles look nice) to make their decision.

Among the primary receivers he marked this year, Charles Woodson allowed: -- 90 yards and a TD to Devin Hester -- 83 yards and a TD to Johnny Knox -- 110 yards and 2 TDs in two meetings to Sidney Rice -- 77 yards and 1 TD to Michael Crabtree -- 77 yards to Santonio Holmes Woodson's a turnover-maker. As a cover man, he's LONG past his prime. As a tackler, he makes a good amount of strips, but that's because he goes for the strip constantly... and whiffs with great frequency (as conveniently seen on a handful of occasions during the Cardinal game last week). He also grabbed 4 interceptions off of Cutler and Stafford... which, frankly, is like hitting HRs off batting-practice pitchers. Revis' schedule and results looked like so (*s denote current or former Pro-Bowl receivers): 1) Andre Johnson*-- 11 targets, 3 catches, 35 yards 2) Randy Moss*-- 9 targets, 4 catches, 24 yards 3) Justin Gage/Nate Washington (split assignment)-- combined 16 targets, 6 catches, 62 yards, 1 TD (NOTE: Washington's TD and about half of Gage's yards came against Dwight Lowery) 4) Marques Colston*-- 8 targets, 2 catches, 24 yards 5) Ted Ginn-- 6 targets, 2 catches, 57 yards, 1 TD 6) Terrell Owens*-- 9 targets, 3 catches, 13 yards 7) [BYE-OAKLAND] 8) Greg Camarillo/Davone Bess (split assignment)-- combined 13 targets, 5 catches, 33 yards, 1 fumble lost 9) [BYE] 10) Torry Holt*/Mike Sims-Walker (split assignment)-- combined 15 targets, 5 catches, 73 yards, 1 TD (NOTE: Sims-Walker had no catches during the second half, during which Revis was guarding him, so you COULD slice 50 yards and a TD off this if you want) 11) Randy Moss*-- 14 targets, 5 catches, 34 yards, 1 TD 12) Steve Smith*-- 11 targets, 1 catch, 5 yards 13) Terrell Owens*-- 8 targets, 3 catches, 31 yards 14) Antonio Bryant-- 10 targets, 2 catches 22 yards 15) Roddy White*-- 11 targets, 4 catches, 33 yards 16) Reggie Wayne*-- 8 targets, 3 catches, 33 yards 17) Chad Ochocinco*-- 5 targets, 0 catches (injury in 2nd quarter) Gets boring, doesn't it? Because it's the same game, 16 times over. Oh, yeah-- he had 6 picks and a defensive TD, too. And he did this with a fair-to-poor pass rush that blitzed constantly with safeties and LBs, meaning near-constant one-on-one coverage. Woodson had a spectacular season... but frankly, as a cornerback, he isn't that good (see: Sharper, Darren). Last week bore this out-- he made one great play on Fitzgerald (a tipped pass for which he laid out), and got burned on two TDs, giving up on the tackle on one after slipping... and this was with safety help up the ass, and Collins sure as hell wasn't watching Steve Breaston (Boldin was out). If he's a little bit better at his primary job-- preventing/subverting pass plays-- the Packers win the game. But he isn't, and as a prize, he gets to sit in on the NFL halftime show of his choice this week. Congrats, playmaker! If Charles Woodson isn't even the best player at his position, how is he the defensive player of the year?

I'd put the Raiders job behind it because the owner wont give you as much control as you'd like and will make stupid draft choices which will lead to YOU getting fired. Not everyone who fails in their first chance gets a second one, he may legitimately feel that the Bills are a lost cause for he next few seasons and his chances of landing a decent or good HC spot down the line are better served as OC with the J-E-T-S than they are as HC with a losing team

He's also making $2M for a coordinator job in which he's beginning to excel, getting to grow a quarterback he helped pick, working for a boss he apparently digs and with a line coach who's one of the best in the business (Bill Callahan) and an offensive line anchored by 2 guys who could be Pro-Bowlers for the next 5 years and a handful of solid vets.

Got three hours to spare? The first ever Monday Night Football game (Sept. 1970, Jets v Browns) is on Youtube right here in 19 parts --- network video and original commercials: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij0s9-T848E Keith Jackson says the Jets are "a football power".

As we boarded, the flight attendant told D-Dad that the pilot wanted to talk to him.

It's disappointing as hell--who wasn't fantasizing about two weeks of Super Bowl fun?--and it's worse after having an 11 point lead... but what a great run this was. After Atlanta, it felt like a gift. That great 2d half against the Colts, the shutout win on Sunday night to make the playoffs, winning a road playoff game against the Bengals, then going to California to beat a big favorite. Wow! I wish that they would have won today--and I'll replay parts of this game until August--but for a rookie QB to beat one of the greatest QBs of all-time, playing in the 3d straight road game against a very well rested team, was too much to ask.

Left knee surgery for the non-sliding Sanchez by Dr. Andrews per CBS

| LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jan 29 2010 11:09 AM Re: J-E-T-S 2-0-0-9 |

Whoa, there: that's a might on the surgery, which Sanchez is considering, post-Andrews consultation. It would be with the aim of fixing the kneecap-stabilizing ligament in there, "much more preventive, strengthening, things like that" (as per GM Mike Tannenbaum) than actual correction of an urgent issue. (Apparently, the knee's been a minor bother since August 2008, during a USC practice; it's the reason for the brace he's been wearing all year as a Jet, and wore all last year as a Trojan.) There's nothing planned for the right knee, in which he sprained the PCL against Buffalo. Also, Tannenbaum says the Jets will tender an offer to Kellen Clemens for 2010. (As BACKUP.)
