Jets Want Mark Sanchez To Win QB Job

More bad news for New York Jets fans who are tired of the Mark Sanchez era and want rookie Geno Smith to take the reins, as the team’s Pro Bowl center Nick Mangold tells the New York Post that he not only believes that Sanchez will open the season as the starter, but the rest of the locker room feels the same way. “I haven’t walked around with a pen and paper and taken...

New York Jets Antonio Cromartie Impresses

With Darrelle Revis being shipped off to Tampa Bay, a new leader has emerged in the New York Jets secondary: cornerback Antonio Cromartie. You may remember Cromartie from his stint on the HBO series ‘Hard Knocks’ in 2010, where he was struggling to name all nine of his children. However, Cromartie has grown into a mentor for the young defensive backs in the secondary this offseason...

82-Day New York Jets Warning – Quinton Coples Unleashed

Here at Turn On The Jets, we decided to take a page out of Robert Mays book over at Grantland (a polite way of saying rip his article idea off) by counting down the 115 days until the New York Jets kick off, with a daily reason to get excited about their return. Mays has the whole NFL to work with, we only have the Goddamn Jets…now there is a challenge, step your game up Mays...

Rex Ryan lookalike catches foul ball while holding a hot dog

If you didn't know Rex Ryan was in New Jersey playing charity golf at Trump National golf course, you would swear that was the New York Jets head coach out at Progressive Field making an impressive one-handed grab of a foul ball while holding a hot dog Tuesday night. We know Rex already has a twin in brother Rob — who has hair down to his shoulders — so it couldn't...

Antonio Cromartie: I Can Be, But Don’t Need To Be, The Best Corner In NFL

I know the title of this post is confusing and probably will lead to Antonio Cromartie receiving some backlash for these comments. Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie is maturing, and with that he’s becoming a leader, and a team guy.  Darrelle Revis is gone, and Cromartie is the best defensive player on the team now. Cromartie for his part thinks he could be the best corner in the...

New York Jets – What Is Rex Ryan’s Job Security?

One of the most common questions surrounding the New York Jets this year is “what is it going to take for Rex Ryan to keep his job?” The Jets have low expectations and many argue that the front office has set him up to fail so new General Manager John Idzik can bring in his own guy next off-season. Rex Ryan isn’t an optimum situation but I wouldn’t paint him as a dead man...

Bleacher Report: Dee Milliner is not replacing Revis

Erik Frenz of BleacherReport.com put out a great article today, discussing why Jets CB Dee Milliner is not stepping into 'shoes to fill.'  Prehaps my favorite snippit: Whoever fills that spot has big shoes to fill: Cromartie himself set a lofty standard for that spot. As Cromartie could tell you—or, for that matter, anyone who has played the role of No. 2 cornerback...

Jets plan to blitz more this season

The New York Jets have always been viewed as a defensive minded team, considering head coach Rex Ryan’s history as a defensive coordinator plus formerly having the best cornerback in the league. Over the last two years however, the Jets have been slipping in the rankings for the defense. Some attribute that to having a ‘old and slow’ front seven while others will chose to blame...

Who will start under center for the Jets in 2013?

If the New York Jets are going to turn things around in 2013, the one thing they need to get sorted out as quickly as possible is their quarterback situation. Returning starter Mark Sanchez figures to be the front-runner, but once the team took GenoSmith in the 2013 NFL draft, things got a little more competitive. The question is, can either one of them carry a team to the playoffs...

Concerns About Jets TE Kellen Winslow Already?

ESPN New York’s Rich Cimini was told by an opposing personnel executive that the Jets should be concerned with recently signed tight end Kellen Davis this season. “I think it’s a lot like [David] Garrard… He’ll be fine in a workout, moving and running, but taking a hit, the grind of training camp and a full, 16-game season will be the litmus tests… I’d watch him closely...

Jets to pay more for Tebow than Pats over next two years

This is gotta hurt, especially if Tebow is sent out on the field twice a year to do something successful against that the New York Jets, the team that couldn't find anything of substance to do with him and cut him. The New England Patriots, if they keep Tebow for the 2 years of his new contract, will only come out of pocket for $1.36 million, while the Jets still owe the Broncos...

Kellen Winslow Signs One-Year Contract
