 | 2008 Season Preview: New York Jets
The Jets will certainly be better, but much of what they did is lipstick on the pig, not growing a prized playoff hog. If Brett Favre still has the magic and all the pricey imports earn their keep, the Jets have a good chance to notch 9-10 wins and earn a Wild Card spot.

| Jets Pre-Draft Summit
The Jets struggled last season, but their fans are united nonetheless. The emergence of a pair of rookies, the trade of Jonathan Vilma and a high pick in this month's draft could propel this team to a surprisingly successful 2008.

| 2007 Season Preview: New York Jets
Last year the Jets suffered very few injuries, very little adversity, and got a lot of unexpectedly bright performances from their lesser stars. Even though they look better on paper this year and I greatly respect their coaching staff, it’s very difficult for me to believe that everything will come up roses once again.

| A Little Left In Martin's Tank?
If Curtis Martin is able to run even one more single play for the Jets, it will be just another thing that this third round draft pick out of the University of Pittsburgh has done which he wasn’t supposed to.

| Mangini Faces The Guy He Once Fetched Coffee For
As the New York Jets recover from their worst loss in 20 years, they find themselves preparing for a critical division contest against the underachieving Miami Dolphins. Among the intriguing sub-plots in this annual rivalry is the relationship between the two head coaches. It wasn’t so long ago when Jets Head Coach Eric Mangini was bringing coffee or driving Miami Head Coach Nick Saban.

| 2006 NFL Team Preview: New York Jets
The Jets might surprise some of the more jaded Jets fans and NY media. This is by no means a good football team, but of all the clear non-playoff teams, the Jets probably have the best chance to pull some surprises. If the defensive front 7 adjusts to the 3-4 and Pennington finds a rhythm with Coles and the playbook, they’re going to win some games, and I think both will happen. The schedule has several winnable games, and I think the Jets will take advantage. They go 6-10 in Year One of the “New York Patriots”, although that worst-case scenario I laid out isn’t out of the question.

| Around The World In 16 Games: Why The Jets Will Not Take Off
While people are dying to come to New York to play for the Giants and play with Eli Manning and Tiki Barber, the Jets are focused on one thing this season… Is Brady Quinn really worth the #1 pick?

| The Jets Need To Try A New Recipe
If you owned a restaurant that after a couple of years of middling success saw the manager walkout, the head cook constantly griping about his pay, and the working staff grow old right before your eyes, what would you do? That is the scenario that the New York Jets and Woody Johnson find themselves in now. Most restaurateurs in order to save their businesses and not only keep their current clientele, but attract newer ones, would revamp the operations of that business rather than patch it up or stand pat. Here is Woody’s chance to revamp the Jets.

| Vinny And The Jets All Over Again
When Vinny Testaverde last played in Giants Stadium he watched as the New York Giants, led by Eli Manning, drove downfield and beat his Dallas Cowboys. Testaverde had a feeling this would be his last game as a pro. In fact he felt like the next time he’d face the Jets Media “would be (to sign) a one day contract and retire a New York Jet.”

| Jets Grind Out First Win Of 2005
The New York Jets got back on track with a hard fought 17-7 victory over the Miami Dolphins. The win marked the third straight victory for New York over Miami and put the Jets in a four-way tie atop the AFC East, with a 1-1 record. At the behest of Head Coach Herman Edwards the Jets went back to basics by shutting down the Miami running game and not committing a single turnover. Unfortunately, the cost of victory could be very high with a possibility that RB Curtis Martin may not be able to play against the powerful Jacksonville Jaguars defense.
