Cromartie gets in 2010 and how well the Jets do during the season.  Still that was a small price to pay for a good young corner to team with Darrelle Revis.  Cromartie played in all 16 games for the Chargers last season and he had 33 tackles, defensed 10 passes and he had 3 interceptions.  He has now played in 64 games in his NFL career and he has made 165 tackles, defensed 41 passes and he has 15 interceptions (two of which he returned for TDs).  Cromartie also returned 19 kickoffs for 442 yards (23.3 avg) for the Chargers.  I love this move for the Jets.

GRADE FOR 2009:  B

GRADE FOR THE FUTURE:  A

Shonn Greene got hurt and 2.) Peyton Manning showed why he is the best QB in the world.  Mark Sanchez had a very solid game for the Jets as he completed 17 of 30 passes for 257 yards with 2 TD passes and 1 INT.  Brad Smith caught two passes for 7 yards but it was his 45-yard completion on his only pass attempt that was his most electric play of the game.  Thomas Jones led the Jets in rushing in this game with 42 yards on 16 carries (2.6 ypc) and he also caught 2 passes for 28 yards (14.0 avg).  Shonn Greene carried the ball 10 times for 41 yards (4.1 ypc) with a TD run before getting injured.  Jerricho Cotchery (5 rec, 102 yards), Braylon Edwards (2 rec, 100 yards, TD) and Dustin Keller (6 rec, 63 yards, TD) all had solid games for the Jets yesterday.  The Jets finished up with 388 total yards on offense (86 rushing, 302 passing) in this game.

Linebacker David Harris was a beast for the Jets yesterday as he finished up with 11 tackles, 2 tackles for a loss, 2 sacks and 2 QB hits.  Safety Kerry Rhodes pitched in with 8 tackles.  But the overall play of the defense was disappointing for the Jets yesterday as the Colts ran up 461 total yards on offense (101 rushing, 360 passing) in this game.  The Jets have nothing to feel bad about as they went farther than anyone that wasn’t in their locker-room thought they could.
