I am a Jets fanatic and a Mark Sanchez apologist.

Mark Sanchez improved last year despite having less offensive talent around him than in 2010.

A) They replaced their primary deep threat and leading receiver in Braylon Edwards with Plaxico Burress, a guy who couldn't get separation between the 20's and was only a red zone option. He is out of work by the way.

B)They replaced Jerricho Cotchery with Derrick Mason who was useless last season he knew that...which is why he retired. It's not a coincidence that neither of them are in the NFL at this point.

C) They lost Damian Woody to retirement and replaced him with a failure at RT.

So you have weaknesses at the wideout & offensive line before the season even starts.

Then.....During the season:

D) Nick Mangold gets hurt and the offensive line looks like a train wreck. :scusthov:

E) They trade Mason...and replace him with a rookie in Jeremy Kerley who was an unknown commodity and was still learning the offense.

Imagine if we had the Mark Sanchez of 2009 or 2010 on the 2011 Jets team. With that offensive line (sacked 39 times...5th most in the league), + the lack of running game (ranked 22nd in the league with 105 ypg) = 5-11 season.

Report: No holdout for Darrelle Revis

PRINT
NEW YORK -- Darrelle Revis is planning to show up for training camp.

A person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press that the New York Jets' All-Pro cornerback expects to report with the rest of his teammates next Thursday in Cortland, N.Y., rather than hold out in a contract dispute for the second time in three summers.

Revis said last month during minicamp that he was unsure if he would report for training camp while looking for the Jets to rework the $46 million, four-year deal he signed in 2010. During a youth football clinic in his hometown of Aliquippa, Pa., Revis told the Beaver County Times that "I don't know" if he'll be at training camp and added: "That's up to (general manager) Mike Tannenbaum."

But Revis has decided to attend camp, according to the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the decision had not been made public.

The 27-year-old Revis, generally considered to be the best cornerback in the NFL, is due to earn $13.5 million during the next two years after the deal was front-loaded with $32.5 million in the first two years.

While Revis tried to deflect contract talk during the offseason, saying at one point that he was "cool" with his current deal, it is believed the cornerback thought the team promised it would re-visit the situation this year.

Jets coach Rex Ryan told the AP on Thursday that he expected Revis to report to camp on time. "If he's not, then it's my job to coach," Ryan said.

It appears Ryan will not have to worry about missing the cornerstone of his defense, as he did two years ago when Revis' holdout was a primary story line during the team's appearance on HBO's "Hard Knocks."

After a contentious 36-day holdout, Revis and his agents agreed with the Jets on a four-year deal.

"This is an intermediate step to what we hope is an entire career of Darrelle as a Jet," Tannenbaum said at the time, "for him to retire a Jet, for him to hopefully go to the Hall of Fame one day as a Jet and for him to be in our ring of honor."

One major deterrent in the contract might have helped Revis make his decision. If he skipped camp, the current deal would be automatically extended by three years. The daily fines for not being at the mandatory camp and the potential public backlash might have also played a role.

Revis, drafted No. 14 overall by New York in 2007, has been selected to four straight Pro Bowls and has 18 interceptions in five seasons.

a win where both sides of the ball actually show up

a win where Mark plays out of his mind, and fools everyone into thinking "he's turned the corner"

a win when Mark gets benched and the squad rallies around Tebow

a win where only the defense puts up points

a win during the last week of the season where the opponent has nothing to play for
