What a way to start off training camp! The Jets have kicked off Training Camp '09 by releasing veteran Alan Fanacea in order to make some salary cap room. It's tough to watch him go, but he was hogging up a large portion of the salary cap, and it's time to get some new blood in there.
The big draft deals have been made. Juran Riley, Biff Below, Mack Jackson, Chuck Potter, Peter Bayless, and all the rest of the picks have signed. Bayless and Below were initially harder to sway, walking out of contract talks upon hearing the first offer, but they eventually came around.
Through each week of pre-season players were systematically cut from the roster, and at the end of pre-season, I honestly have to say this team looks smashing, and should be trouble for anyone standing in their way. This is what this year's pre-season looked like:
Pre-season week 1: Jets 14 - Steelers 10
Pre-season week 2: Jets 34 - Bills 10
Pre-season week 3: Pathers 10 - Jets 6
Pre-season week 4: Rams 5 - Jets 22
Now we move into Week 1. From there we'll see just how well this newly assembled squad of New York Jets will do.

Day 1 is in the books as the first 64 picks have come and gone. Right now it appears the New York Jets have had the hot hand through the first two rounds, drafting studs Juran Riley and Mack Jackson to pad a defense in dire need of playmakers.
Jackson comes from New Mexico, and is simply a nightmare for opposing offenses. This guy can stop the run, stop the pass, and will mutilate your quarterback if you give him the opportunity. He has an endless motor and is an incredibly hard hitter. The fact that he fell as far as he did this year was a Godsend for Jets fans everywhere.
Juran Riley is the phenom from Texas that was largely overlooked by teams in favor of Raheem Jordan from Oklahoma. Riley is largely a ballhawk and a solid hitter that will serve New York best by moving him to the safety position. By jumping up and grabbing him they showed their assertiveness in a draft that has been largely unpredictable this year.
On the offensive side of the ball, Chuck Potter out of North Carolina, Biff Below from Florida, and Peter Bayless from Minnesota were picked up in Day 1.
Below, who most consider to be a calculated risk and possibly the biggest bust of the draft, comes to New York due to trade. He'll be handed the keys to one of the most fertile teams in the league, paired with a pass-friendly coach. This will either lead to great success, or disaster.
Chuck Potter of North Carolina is a speedy running back that is a good pass-catcher. He's not an every-down back, but that's alright considering the fact that the Jets run very rarely (although we saw the run game make a surge through the last 5 games of the season). If used properly, he'll make great contributions to an already talented Jets squad.
Peter Bayless is one of those picks that will make you stop and scratch your head for a second. McCullen could have possibly waited until the fourth or fifth round to pick Bayless up, but he made it clear that he wanted him, and showed it by passing over multiple other playmakers to grab him. Bayless has great acceleration and is great at making the spectacular catch. He's the deep threat that McCullen needs to execute his passing attack.
Day 2 of the draft will be set to begin tonight at 5 p.m. Central, and will take us from rounds three to seven. There are several great players still available out there, and for once the later rounds should be just as interesting to watch as the early rounds.

Season Recap:
Well, this season is in the books for the New York Jets. After a 9-7 finish, they just barely missed the playoffs. After finishing 3rd in the division behind Buffalo (11-5) and New England (13-3) and 13th in the NFL, Jets fans were left partially satisfied. We know we hit a lot of snags this season with quarterback-in-exile Chad Pennington and Thomas Jones, and there were major growing pains for Kellen Clemens. But we managed to end the season on a high note with a victory over Miami.
Jets Statistical Leaders:
K. Clemens - 2531 yards, 18 TDs
M. Smith - 778 yards, 7 TDs
J. Cotchery - 1844 yards, 145 rec, 15 TDs
D. Harris - 92 tackles
S. Ellis - 6 sacks
A. Elam - 4 INTs

Looking to the Off-season:
The Jets will be looking to improve vastly through the draft. Reports have come in concerning interest in Chad Pennington. Reports show at least 3 teams are interested in acquiring his services for at least a 6th rounder. Speaking of the draft, I honestly wouldn't mind not picking up a quarterback at this point. Kellen Clemens seemed to really pick up on things down the stretch. He could be a good quarterback for us with a little more grooming.
Until draft season, J! E! T! S! JETS! JETS! JETS!

In a game that might go down as a candidate for game of the year, the New England Patriots managed to barely eek one out against the New York Jets for the second time this season.
It was a classic match-up that went into overtime, this time with Kellen Clemens leading the charge against the powerhouse Patriots. The end result was the same, however, as Kellen Clemens threw the "deathpick" while marching down field.
"It hurts to lose to them again, in overtime, due to an interception," McCullen said on Sunday, "what we can take away from this game though, is that we're one or two big moves from beating this team. At least that's my take."
Also worth noting, Leon Washington got the most carries of any Jets back all year, with twenty three. But managed a mere 49 yards, which is an unimpressive outing for the runningback.
