After watching Plaxico Burress' spectacular debut, Santonio Holmes thought about how dangerous the Jets' passing offense can be. So dominant, he thinks, that he almost feels sorry for the Jets' opponents. Plax agrees -- and then some.
Plaxico Burress stepped onto the football field, looked around and smiled. It was exactly what he had been dreaming about for nearly three years. He was back, he thought, right where he should be.
You couldn't wait for Plaxico Burress to fail. Well, guess what? You've got some more waiting to do. Word of advice: stop sitting around hoping, because it's probably not going to happen.
Plaxico Burress caught three passes for 66 yards, including a terrific 26-yard reception for a touchdown, in his first game since 2008 to help the Jets beat the Cincinnati Bengals 27-7 in a preseason game Sunday night.
Today, Felix is hoping for a chance to stick with the Jets as a backup lineman and possibly fill the role vacated by Rob Turner, who broke his right leg in New York's preseason opener at Houston.
MetLife stadium it is, according to the New York Post. The paper reported late on Thursday that the insurance giant "has inked a definitive agreement" for naming rights at the New Meadowlands Stadium.
Eli Manning created a bit of a stir this week when he declared himself a Top 5 quarterback and put himself in the same class as Tom Brady. Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez didn't have to make such comparisons -- his coach did it for him.
More times than not, a preseason game carries very few storylines with it. But Sunday's contest between the Jets and Bengals has a big one -- the expected return to the field of Plaxico Burress.
New York Jets running back Shonn Greene has a "low-grade skin infection" on his right foot and will not play in the team's preseason game against Cincinnati on Sunday night.
Jets coach Rex Ryan got a real, hard look on Wednesday at Plaxico Burress practicing alongside Santonio Holmes and Derrick Mason. Let's just say Ryan was pleased with what he saw.
Will the Jets' latest acquisition turn out to be Vernon Gholston, Part 2? Coach Rex Ryan confirmed on Wednesday that the Jets had reached an agreement in principle with linebacker Aaron Maybin, pending a physical.
"It was dark," Plaxico Burress recalled to interviewer Bryant Gumbel in Tuesday's edition of "Real Sports" on HBO. "And I kind of, you know, missed a step. That's when I felt my gun start to slide. I went to grab it to stop it from falling. Pow!"
The calendar on the wall says it's Mark Sanchez's time to shine, but he'll never become all that he can be if the Jets begin to forget they are a running football team first, second and, if need be, third.
You may hate them, you may not trust them -- but you have to respect the Jets.
Don't tell Jets coach Rex Ryan that Monday night's 20-16 loss to the Houston Texans doesn't count. "I hate losing, our team hates losing," Ryan seethed after the game. "I don't care if it's preseason."
Was Mark Sanchez upset at Rex Ryan for nearly benching him last season? Yes, absolutely. But was he fightin' mad? Sanchez says no.
The Jets' offensive line, which allowed seven sacks on Monday night, will reportedly lose versatile backup Rob Turner for an extended period of time.
Some people may subscribe to the following theory about pre-season football: "It's three hours of my life that I'll never get back!" In a lot of ways, that's true -- though there was a lot to take out of Jets vs. Texans.
It was an eventful night in the New York sports landscape. A.J. Burnett halted his winless streak (dating back to June 29) for the Yankees and the Jets opened up their preseason with a loss to the Houston Texans.
Mark Sanchez looked sharp, completing 6 of 7 passes, two to Santonio Holmes, in limited duty as the Jets opened the preseason with a 20-16 loss to the Houston Texans at Reliant Stadium on Monday night.
Mark Sanchez and Rex Ryan have an outspoken admiration for each other. They also have a mutual goal -- winning the Super Bowl. So Jets fans may be surprised to read what their star quarterback had to say about Ryan in the upcoming issue of GQ magazine.
The return of Plaxico Burress will have to wait. Mark Sanchez has work to do with his other receivers anyway when the Jets open their preseason against Houston on Monday night.
Jerricho Cotchery just didn't see himself fitting in with the Jets anymore. So the wide receiver did what he felt he needed to do. Cotchery asked for his release, the Jets obliged -- and he went shopping.
This is what we have waited for. It was something that we thought might not happen because of the lockout. Are you ready for some… preseason football?
