The New York Jets have acquired Jason Smith from the St. Louis Rams for Wayne Hunter in a swap of disappointing right tackles.
A crumbling offensive line in front of him, a subpar running game and receivers bobbling balls thrown directly to their chests. Still, No. 6 takes the blame. Welcome to Mark Sanchez's world.
Josh Brown hinted as much to his Twitter followers on Monday. "Best of luck to the 2012 Jets... Thanks for one of the most memorable camps in 10 yrs," he tweeted. "GREAT GROUP OF GUYS!!"
What if you are the New York Jets and you have two quarterbacks who are struggling and your receiving crew is unimpressive? You can't try to keep up with Brees and Rodgers.
Just a thought, but perhaps Rex's starters should get a few plays against the Eagles' backups on Thursday night in Philadelphia. Maybe then they'll finally score a touchdown.
Three preseason games. Seven field goals. No touchdowns. Jets fans haven't seen much to be excited about so far — particularly from the offense.
The Jets lost 17-12 to the Panthers on Sunday night and are still without a preseason touchdown.
The Jets suffered a multitude of injuries during their preseason game against the Panthers on Sunday night.
"I have to take full advantage of it," Howard said. "When you get a new chance, you always have to have a positive outlook. I have the mindset to show what I can do."
NFL fans know the football anthem "I've Been Waiting All Day for Sunday Night." But the more appropriate title for a song leading into Sunday night's Jets-Panthers game would be: "I've Been Waiting All Preseason for a Jets Touchdown."
General manager Mike Tannenbaum and his staff may be on the lookout for help outside the organization. The Jets have reportedly contacted teams to inquire about trading for a tackle.
Say what you will of Wayne Hunter's play, he has owned up to every mistake and only ever worked hard at his craft. He deserved better.
Still searching for the end zone, the Jets might have their top wide receiver back on Sunday.
Not everyone agrees. There was plenty of immediate feedback -- mostly negative -- on Twitter, where former Giants offensive tackle and current NFL analyst Roman Oben posted, "I heard that. What is Mike T smoking?"
"I think more than anything you would want people to say, 'There's someone that helps the team win football games,'" Tebow told Boomer & Carton.
