He had issues with the playbook, mostly because there were no plays for him in it.
After seeing the back cover of today's New York Daily News, Craig tried to imagine how Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum might react upon first seeing himself, alongside Rex Ryan, with the "Dumb & Dumber" headline attached.
Craig has been known to be very 'touchy-feely.' So it came as no surprise when he expressed a desire to wrap his arms around David Ortiz and give him a big bear-hug to welcome him to New York.
Derrick Mason couldn't shape up, so the Jets shipped him out.
Jets fans have never accepted Brian Schottenheimer as one of their own. And the reason is simple: Gang Green always seems to need a month to do what other teams often do in a minute.
Hold the Mayo! Well, the Patriots did that and won -- by providing a lot of mustard for Mark Sanchez's hot dog.
Craig has been worried about the Jets for awhile now, but in light of recent events his level of concern is steadily rising.
With the Jets' trade of Derrick Mason Tuesday night to the Houston Texans for a conditional seventh-round draft pick, Craig declares that the fans have been lied to and that we're starting to see cracks in Rex Ryan's armor.
Mason's role was greatly diminished in New York's 30-21 loss at New England on Sunday, while rookie Jeremy Kerley mostly filled his spot as the No. 3 receiver.
Spygate 2? Another brewing controversy for the Jets? Not so fast.
Jets offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer is no stranger to the hot seat. Well, he's on it again -- but Rex Ryan is keeping the faith.
The jokes aren't flying from Rex Ryan as they did in his first two seasons. Suddenly, the NFL's biggest bunch of chatterboxes is strangely silent.

We are now two days removed from the Jets' and Giants' respective debacles on Sunday and there is still plenty to talk about.
Which NFL team is deserving of the accolades the Tri-State Area's fans are begging to give? The answer is simple and undeniable: Neither. The Jets and Giants have been nothing short of pretenders since Week 1.
The most consistent area for the Jets lately has been the final outcome, and Rex Ryan's Super Bowl prediction is looking less secure with each passing week.
The finger-pointing has started. The losses are mounting. The offense continues to struggle -- and the guarantees have stopped. What's next for the Jets?
Wide receiver mutiny or fiction? Emotions were high in the Jets locker room Sunday regarding a report on embattled offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer.
The Patriots were upset that opponents kept piling up yards on them. They took it out on the Jets.
Mark Sanchez had another tough one, passing for just 166 yards against the team that entered with the NFL's lowest-ranked defense.
It's been five mediocre weeks for Neil Keefe as he sits one game below .500 in his NFL picks. Devastated by the Yankees' elimination, hopefully things turn around for his picks in Week 5.
After two straight losses, perhaps facing the Patriots is the tonic the Jets need.
Nick Mangold expects to return to his spot in the middle of the Jets' offensive line this weekend. That's great news for Jets fans -- and not so good for the Patriots.
Antonio Cromartie dares Tom Brady to throw in his direction all day. Go ahead, the Jets cornerback says. He's ready for the challenge.
Taking a break from all of the Yankees talk, Boomer & Craig welcomed in Dan Marino to help shift gears and talk some football.
