Curtis Martin is expected to return to practice soon. It will depend on how much tolerance Martin has to the pain in his knee as to when he can return to the field of play. The Jets could sure use him as no running back is taking advantage of his absence.
The Jets have released Derrick Strait. Strait had started a couple of games at free safety but was replaced by Erik Coleman. The Jets have also signed CB Hank Poteat after the Patriots cut him over the weekend. Poteat will play alot of special teams and provide insurance in the Jets defensive backfield.
The Jets have been decent on special teams except for Mike Nugent, who has been a major disappointment. The Jets have covered punts pretty well (7.5 yard avg), but kick-offs have been a little different story as they have allowed 23.6 yards per return.
Mike Nugent has been awful since the Jets drafted him last season. Nugent is only 2 for 4 on FGs and he has made 12 of 13 XPTs. Punter Ben Graham is having a good season averaging 45.3 yards per punt, 38.1 net yards, and has pinned the opposition inside their 20 37.5% of the time.
Tim Dwight has returned 3 punts for 31 yards (10.3 avg) and Leon Washington has returned 3 punts for 17 yards (5.7 avg). Justin Miller has been outstanding returning kick-offs and giving the Jets’ offense good starting field position. Miller is averaging 27.6 yards per return and took one back 103 yards for a TD against the Colts.
hey i know the jets looked terrible against jacksonville this weekend but every team will have a bad game during the season..i took a second look at the schedule and if the jets win the games that they should we will win 10 games and if we pick up a game or 2 in upsets we could win more..it really depends on pennington he has looked good this season..the defense needs to pick it up a little bit..overall the jets look way better than expected..J-E-T-S jets jets jets!
The Jets play an excellent game in Indy, and then are blown out by Jacksonville. Same old Jets. Every time the Jets play a good game against a good team, and lose, the next week they get blown out. Let’s face it; the Jets are not super bowl contenders. Maybe not even playoff contenders. But they are getting better. Pennington is not an all-star QB like Joe Namath. Coles is not Jerry Rice. And the Jets defense is not the Steal Curtain. But without that moron Herm Edwards we have a shot at getting better. If the front office gives Mangie control. This will never happen. Why did Belicheck leave? Front Office. That is where the problem beginnings. It will be many more years of misery for us Jets fans until maybe someday, not next year; we will win the super bowl. Hey look at the bright side, at least people can not call Jets fan band wagon jumpers.

This game was a complete waste of time to watch. The Jets must have forgot they had a game yesterday. Chad Pennington had probably his worst NFL game ever as he completed 10 of 17 passes for 71 yards and 3 INT! Rookie RB Leon Washington is the one guy that came to play as he carried the ball 23 times for 101 yards (4.4 ypc). Jerricho Cotchery caught 4 passes for 49 yards.
The Jets really need to somehow try to fix their run defense. The Jags ran the ball 39 times for 181 yards rushing for 4.6 yards per carry.  The Jets allowed the Jags to only complete 9 of 20 passes for 131 net yards thru the air, but who needs to throw when you rush for 181 yards?
The Jets were pathetic on Sunday.
This is a must-win game for both of these teams. I know it’s early but neither team can afford to drop to 2-3 to start the season.
The Jets would like to be more balanced on offense, but it’s hard to do when you’re only averaging 3.0 yards per carry rushing the ball. The Jags defense is tough against the run only allowing 82.3 yards rushing per game and 3.4 yards per carry. The Jets bread and butter on offense is their passing game that is averaging 239.0 yards per game thru the air. Chad Pennington is looking great so far this season (1,015 yards passing, 102.3 QB rating) and his receivers will test the Jaguars physical secondary. WR Laveranues Coles (30 rec, 412 yards) and Jerricho Cotchery (18 rec, 284 yards) have had fine seasons so far, but Pennington will have to be aware where CB Rashean Mathis (4 INT) is at all times.
The Jets defense has been very bad this season (140.5 yards rushing, 237.8 passing) and the Jags should be effective doing whatever they want. I have a feeling the Jags will lean more towards the run with Fred Taylor (256 yards rushing) and Maurice Drew (118 yards rushing). WR Matt Jones will probably not play, so Ernest Wilford (13 rec, 147 yards) will need to step up so the Jets don’t double cover emerging WR Reggie Williams (21 rec, 243 yards).
My gut feeling tells me to take the Jags at home, but this team is pretty gritty so I’m not so sure.
Running back Cedric Houston will miss 2-4 weeks after hyperextending his knee against the Colts on Sunday. Look for Kevan Barlow and Leon Washington to split the carries. Derrick Blaylock may even get another shot after he lost carries by not playing well in the first two games.
Chad Pennington has returned with a vengeance. Pennington looks fully recovered from the shoulder surgeries that have wrecked his last two seasons. With virtually no running game, Pennington has carried the offense on his back so far this season. Pennington has completed 82 of 122 passes (67.2%) for 1,015 yards with 6 TDs and 2 INT. Pennington has a 102.3 QB rating this season. If Pennington keeps this up the Jets could return to the playoffs this season, but the Jets must block for him and keep him healthy all season.
