New York Jets Roster Rundown: Breaking Down the Running Back Depth on the 2012 Jets Roster
Arguably no offseason move was bigger for the New York Jets than the hiring of former Miami Dolphins head coach Tony Sparano as their new offensive coordinator. Gone are the overly complex, often confusing offensive schemes of Brian Schottenheimer, and in their place are the no-nonsense, smash-mouth philosophies of Sparano. Fourth-year head coach Rex Ryan has never been [...]
Jordan White Might Be an Answer at Wide Receiver for New York Jets
When the New York Jets selected Western Michigan wide receiver Jordan White with their seventh round selection few people noticed. However, Jordan White led the nation in receiving last season with 140 catches for 1,911 yards. He also tallied 17 touchdowns for good measure. In 2010, he caught 94 passes for 1,378 yards and 10 [...]
New York Jets Shouldn’t Start Two New Safeties
When the New York Jets signed safety Yeremiah Bell I honestly thought Bell would be best suited as a backup. However, that might not be the case. There is a good chance the Jets signed him to be a starter and this would be a terrible move. Early in the offseason, the Jets signed safety [...]
2012 1st-Round Pick Quinton Coples Will Make an Immediate Impact in Rex Ryan’s Defense
Entering his fourth season as head coach of the New York Jets, Rex Ryan has always been looking for that one missing piece on defense.

The New York Jets Still Have Multiple Vulnerabilities On Offense
The New York Jets have a number of problems on offense that they didn’t address this off-season. It seems as if general manager Mike Tannenbaum and head coach Rex Ryan felt the team’s biggest problems on offense in 2011 were the offensive coordinator and a lack of an explosive deep threat. So they replaced Brian [...]
New York Jets Signing of Yeremiah Bell a Good Move
The New York Jets have signed free agent safety Yeremiah Bell to a one-year deal worth $1.4 million including a $200,000 signing bonus. The Jets, who have already signed free agent safety LaRon Landry earlier this offseason, needed depth at safety, a position that was considered a weak spot by many after it struggled when [...]
