Jets acquire running back Lee Suggs

Blogged under Attention Jets Fans,Front Page by ravenhater on Monday 14 August 2006 at 5:19 pm

The Cleveland Browns traded running back Lee Suggs to the New York Jets for cornerback Derrick Strait.  The Browns liked what rookie James Harrison has been doing in camp and thought Suggs was expendable.  Suggs played in 25 games for the Browns (3 starts) and rushed for 1,048 yards and 4 TDs.  He also caught 28 passes for 204 yards and a TD.

The Browns really need help in the defensive backfield because of injuries to Gary Baxter and Daylon McCutcheon.  Derrick Strait is in his third season in the NFL.  Strait has played in 21 games and  made 56 tackles and defensed one pass.

Suggs should jump right in the battle to replace Curtis Martin.

Chad Pennington injured on Friday?

Chad Pennington may have re-injured his throwing shoulder Friday night after being drilled in that region on a corner blitz.  Here we go again!

Jets look bad in 16-3 loss to Bucs on Friday

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page by ravenhater on Sunday 13 August 2006 at 9:01 am

The Jets looked downright awful against the Bucs on Friday.  The Jets only rushed for 44 yards on 16 carries and only had 185 yards of total offense.  The lone bright spot on offense was rookie QB Kellen Clemens who completed 10 of 14 passes for 92 yards.

The Jets defense looked decent in the first half as the game was tied 3-3 at the half.

Jets looking for a running back

Blogged under Attention Jets Fans,Bloglockers,Front Page by ravenhater on Tuesday 8 August 2006 at 11:12 pm

Curtis Martin’s knee is devoid of cartilage, causing bone on bone action.  He’s having trouble walking, let alone running.  Martin is an older guy and might not be able to help the Jets much this season.  The Jets don’t feel confident in Cedric Houston, Derrick Blaylock, or Leon Washington as their starter and have been looking around for a back.

Names heard through the grapevine are Marcel Shipp of the Cardinals and Michael Turner of the Chargers.

Fantasy Kicker Rankings

Blogged under Fantasy Football Report by ravenhater on Tuesday 8 August 2006 at 2:33 pm

Bye Weeks () 

 1. Adam Vinatieri, Colts  (6)  Vinatieri is Mr.Clutch, and for that he becomes the kicker for the best offense in the NFL.

 2. Jeff Wilkins, Rams (7)  Wilkins is a dominant kicker every so often, and he will be one this season.

 3. Shayne Graham, Bengals (5)  Has increased his points scored 4 straight seasons, and scored 131 pts. last season.

 4. Mike Vanderjagt, Cowboys (3)  Is the most accurate kicker in NFL history.  Should be a weapon for Cowboys.

 5. Neil Rackers, Cardinals (9)  Set NFL record last season making 40 FGs.  Cards offense will score more TDs this season.

 6. Jason Elam, Broncos (4)  Mr. Reliable.  He always puts up points, and gets a few long ones at Mile High.

 7. David Akers, Eagles (9)  Offense will need him more without a big-time receiver.  He’s healthy and ready to rebound.

 8. Nate Kaeding, Chargers (3)  Has a strong leg and might need it with Rivers replacing Brees.

 9. Matt Bryant, Buccaneers (4) He’s a sleeper here, as the Bucs offense should improve this year.  He makes some long ones.

10. Jay Feely, Giants (4)  Led the NFL in kicker points (148) last season, and it wasn’t a fluke.

11. Josh Brown, Seahawks (5)  Brown is a solid kicker, with a solid offense.

12. Ryan Longwell, Vikings (6)  Kicking inside should help him, and he hit alot of long field goals anyway.

13. Steve Gostkowski, Patriots (6)  He’s a rookie, but he’s also on a good offensive team.  Can he handle the pressure?

14. Sebastian Janikowski, Raiders (3)  He has superb league strength and the Raiders should be a little better on offense.

15. Lester Tynes, Chiefs (3)  Had a good season last year, but have to wait and see what Edwards’ offense looks like.

16. Olindo Mare, Dolphins (8)  Marlins won’t make the playoffs, so he should be ok.

17. Matt Stover, Ravens (7)  Getting a little long in tooth, but still accurate.

18. Rian Lindell, Bills (8)  One of the best offensive weapons on the Bills, what does that tell you?

19. Jeff Reed, Steelers (4)  Not very accurate, and questions all over the offense.

20. Jason Hanson, Lions (8)  He could be a sleeper with Mike Martz running the offense in Detroit.

21. Mike Nugent, Jets (9)  The Jets offense could be bad, real bad.

22. John Hall, Redskins (8)  Could shoot up the list if he could stay healthy….hasn’t been for two years in a row.

23. John Kasay, Panthers (9)  Getting a little old and has had some injuries recently.

24. Josh Scobee, Jaguars (6)  Can hit the long one, but isn’t an accurate kicker overall.

25. Rob Bironas, Titans (7)  Is a good kicker that will improve as much as the Titans offense improves.

26. John Carney, Saints (7)  Still accurate at 42 years old, but can’t hit the deep ones anymore.

27. Phil Dawson, Browns (6)  A good kicker that would move up this list if the offense improves.

28. Kris Brown, Texans (5)  Brown is not very accurate, and the Texans have not been very good on offense.

29. Joe Nedney, 49ers (7)  Only missed two kicks all of last season…..needs more opportunities.

30. Robbie Gould, Bears (7)  Not very accurate and currently in a battle for his job.

31. Billy Cundiff, Packers (6)  Has been bouncing around for a while.  Not much upside here.

32. Tony Yelk, Falcons (5)  Rookie trying to win a job on an offense that doesn’t light up the scoreboard.

QB Rankings Bye Weeks ()

Blogged under Fantasy Football Report by ravenhater on Monday 7 August 2006 at 7:33 pm

 1. Peyton Manning, Colts.  (6)   This is a no-brainer.  The greatest fantasy QB of his time.

 2. Tom Brady, Patriots (6)   The greatest QB of his time.  Spreads the ball around, and always puts up numbers.

 3.  Trent Green, Chiefs (3)  Green has put up three straight 4,000 yards passing season together.  Under-rated.

 4. Carson Palmer, Bengals (5)  Knee is a huge question mark.  Has alot of weapons in the passing game.

 5. Eli Manning, Giants (4)  Manning started to emerge from brothers’ shadow.  Has a good supporting cast.

 6. Marc Bulger, Rams (7)  Only needs to stay healthy to lead the greatest show on turf.

 7. Duante Culpepper, Dolphins (8)  Huge risk/reward pick.  Has a huge arm, but can Chambers imitate Moss?

 8. Donovan McNabb, Eagles (9)  Probably would have ranked higher if he had at least one good receiver.

 9. Matt Hasselbeck, Seahawks (5)  Injury to Darrell Jackson hurts.  Plus Shaun Alexander will get his carries.

10. Drew Bledsoe, Cowboys (3)  If T.O. behaves, this is too low for Bledsoe.  T.O. always makes his QB better.

11. Brett Favre, Packers (6)  Running backs look healthy, which will put less pressure on him to win game himself.

12. Kurt Warner, Cardinals (9)  Warner would be higher on this list if he weren’t so brittle.  Risk/Reward pick.

13. Drew Brees, Saints (7)  Always scared of injured throwing shoulders, but he has a good supporting cast.

14. Aaron Brooks, Raiders (3)  Hard to hold last season against any Saint.  Will thrive throwing ball to Randy Moss.

15. Jake Delhomme, Panthers (9)  Better in real football than fantasy football.

16. Jake Plummer, Broncos (4)  Will he feel the heat with Jay Cutler around?  If not he’ll be ok.

17. David Carr, Texans (5)  Has shown improvement the last two seasons, and now he has Eric Moulds.

18. Billy Volek, Titans (7)  Volek has been a superb back-up, and now he gets the keys to the car for a season.

19. Steve McNair, Ravens (7)  McNair is only this far down the list because he’s brittle.  Reunited with Mason will help.

20. Philip Rivers, Chargers (3)  Risk/Reward pick.  Not much experience, but a very good supporting cast.

21. Mark Brunell, Redskins (8)  Nice supporting group, but injury prone and old.

22. Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers (4)  Lots of questions.  Will he be ok or gun shy?  Steelers run alot and that hurts him.

23. Jon Kitna, Lions (8)  If he wins the job, he could put up huge numbers with Mike Martz calling the plays.

24. Chris Simms, Buccaneers (4)  For first time since high-school, he’s the best QB on his team.

25. Brad Johnson, Vikings (6)  38 year old QB that likes the short pass.  Will he last a whole season?

26. Michael Vick, Falcons (5)  Vick is the most electrifying QB in the league.  But his 150 yards passing won’t help you.

27. Byron Leftwich, Jaguars (6)  He has never played a complete season, and his receiving corps is downright awful.

28. Chad Pennington, Jets (9)  Pennington is a good QB when he plays….which isn’t very often.

29. Charlie Frye, Browns (6)  Looked ok in his brief trial at the end of the season.  Having Edwards and Winslow will help.

30. Kelly Holcomb, Bills (8)  He should win the job, but if you draft a Bills QB…you need your head examined.

31. Rex Grossman, Bears (7)  Look up the word “brittle” in the dictionary and you’ll see Rex Grossman’s face.

32. Alex Smith, 49ers (7)  He’s got a long way to go to be an average QB.

33. Brian Griese, Bears (7)  Sure to start some games, the only question is when.

34. Matt Leinhart, Cardinals (9)  Leinhart probably will get the keys to the explosive offense at some point.

35. Gus Frerotte, Rams (7)  Follows head-coach Scott Linehan around like a puppy.  Could see some time.

36. Josh McCown, Lions (8)  Back-up to Kitna to start the season.  Lions QB of near future.

37. Matt Schaub, Falcons (5)  Better throwing QB than starter Michael Vick.

38. David Garrard, Jaguars (6)  Plays well every season after Leftwich gets hurt.

39. Jeff Garcia, Eagles (9)  Still has a little left in the tank if McNabb goes down.

40. Patrick Ramsey, Jets (9)  QB in waiting behind Pennington.  Only a matter of time until he plays.

41. Trent Dilfer, 49ers (7)  Coach Nolan won’t let his team’s season go to waste if Smith is over-matched again.

42. Jim Sorgi, Colts (6)  Played well in limited action.  Has a super supporting cast if forced into action.

43. JP Losman, Bills (8)  Good athlete for a QB, but not a good passer.

44. Kyle Boller, Ravens (7)  Behind McNair, so he could get a chance.  Played well last December.

45. Joey Harrington, Dolphins (8)  Could get playing time in Miami, but that was never an issue in Detroit.

46. Anthony Wright, Bengals (5)  Wright is a good athlete and the Bengals have good receivers…but, Wright is not a good passer.

47. Vince Young, Titans (7)  If the Titans throw him to the wolves, he will get chewed up and spit out.

48. Jay Cutler, Broncos (4)  Cutler’s year will be next season.

49. Sage Rosenfels, Texans (5)  Not very productive in limited chances.

50. Charlie Batch, Steelers (4)  Running team, but if Big Ben’s head hurts he might get forced into action.

51.  Chris Weinke, Panthers (9)  Had his chance, and then the Panthers signed Delhomme.

52. Todd Collins, Redskins (8)  Playing behind Brunell with a loaded supporting cast.

53. Damon Huard, Chiefs (3)  Chiefs would probably run alot if he were forced into action.

54. Jamie Martin, Saints (7)  Good completion % usually.  A decent back-up.

55. Jay Fiedler, Buccaneers (4)  Still hasn’t thrown a pass in camp.  Game manager that wouldn’t put up big numbers.

56. Matt Cassel, Patriots (6)  Hasn’t started a real game since high school.

57. A.J. Feeley, Chargers (3)  If you have a penalty for pick-offs, don’t say this name.

58. Andrew Walter, Raiders (3)  Hasn’t played a down, but has good receivers.

59. Aaron Rodgers, Packers (6)  The fact that the Packers drafted a QB speaks volumes.

60. Tim Hasselbeck, Giants (4)  Giants have a good supporting cast, but Hasselbeck hasn’t proved he could take advantage of that.

61. Ken Dorsey, Browns (6)  Trying to hold off Derek Anderson for back-up job.

62. Seneca Wallace, Seahawks (5)  Not a good passer.

63.  Tony Romo, Cowboys (3)  No experience…..scary.

64. Mike McMahon, Vikings (6)  Good runner, but the worst throwing QB in the league.

Jerricho Cotchery running with first team

Blogged under Attention Jets Fans,Bloglockers,Front Page by ravenhater on Sunday 6 August 2006 at 11:36 am

Justin McCareins is in the dog house with new coach Eric Mangini for unspecified reasons.  Cotchery has stepped up and he might not look back.

Jets tight ends just average

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page by ravenhater on Saturday 5 August 2006 at 4:27 pm

Doug Jolley is a decent receiver, but not much of a blocker in the running game.  Jolley has played in 63 games (32 starts) and has caught 119 passes for 1,296 yards (10.9 avg) and 6 TDs.

Chris Baker has been around for a little while but hasn’t really improved.  He is a decent back-up tight-end, but nothing more.  Baker has played in 52 games (9 starts) and has caught 52 passes for 602 yards (11.6 avg) and 5 TDs.

Jets hope receiving crew shows improvement

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page by ravenhater on Friday 4 August 2006 at 4:06 pm

Laveranues Coles has been a very good receiver when Chad Pennington starts, but with everyone else he’s so-so.  Coles has the speed to get deep, but he drops some easy ones.  Coles has two 1,200+ yard seasons in his career.  Coles has played in 93 games (83 starts) and has caught 415 passes for 5,501 yards (13.3 avg) and 25 TDs.  He also has 31 carries for 198 yards (6.4 ypc).

Justin McCareins has not lived up to his potential.  He’s banged up alot and doesn’t have alot of speed, as he’s turned into more of a possession receiver.  McCareins has played in 68 games (44 starts) and has caught 168 passes for 2,685 yards (16.0 avg) and 15 TDs.  He also has rushed 6 times for 34 yards (5.7 ypc).

Jerricho Cotchery may push McCareins for his job.  Cotchery also lacks speed, but he isn’t afraid to go over the middle and take a hit.  Cotchery has played in 28 games (1 start) and has caught 25 passes for 310 yards (12.4 avg) but no TDs.

Tim Dwight is a fun player to watch.  He’s fast and plays with reckless abandon, but that gets him into trouble as he gets injured quite frequently.  Dwight is a very good punt and kick-off returner that also fits as a #4 receiver.  Dwight has played 101 games (29 starts) and has caught 172 passes for 2,754 yards (16.0 avg) and 17 TDs.  He also has rushed 49 times for 340 yards (6.9 ypc) and 3 TDs.

Brad Smith is a rookie that is being converted to receiver from the QB position.  He is a very good athlete and should make the transition, but it could take a little time.
