The Jets looked pretty solid on offense in the pre-season opener last Friday.  Kellen Clemens started the game at QB and he completed all four of his pass attempts for 24 yards.  Rookie QB Mark Sanchez was impressive completing 3 of 4 passes for 88 yards.  Erik Ainge almost helped the Jets win this game as he completed 10 of 17 passes for 148 yards with 1 TD pass.  Rookie RB Shonn Greene also looked good leading the Jets in rushing with 45 yards on 9 carries (5.0 ypc).  Thomas Jones only rushed for 13 yards on 9 carries (1.4 ypc) but he scored a TD.  WR David Clowney had a outstanding game for the Jets as he finished with 102 yards receiving on 3 catches (34.0 avg) with a TD.  TE Dustin Keller also caught 3 passes in this game (52 yards).  The Jets finished up this game with 340 total yards on offense and that’s a good start.

The defense had issues in this game as the Rams rushed for 193 yards on 29 carries (6.7 ypc).  The Rams only passed for 113 yards against the Jets but that’s because they didn’t need to throw the football.  Linebacker Kenwin Cummings led the way for the Jets in this game with 7 tackles and a sack.  Fellow linebacker Brandon Renhert pitched in with six tackles in this game.  OLB Calvin Pace looked in mid-season form with 5 tackles and a sack.  The Jets have some things they need to work on before the season starts for real next month.
