New York Jets - Weekly Update
(Jetsblog.com)
Jets vs Dolphins Recap:
Week 1 has come and gone, and the Jets played to impress this week. Chad Pennington had a stellar game, throwing for over 300 yards. Thomas Jones had a pretty good day as well, running for over 100 yards. Overall, it was a strong showing for new head coach Lou McCullen, who has all eyes on him at this point.
Patriots vs Jets Preview:
Tom Brady will lead the Pats this week against the Jets and Chad Pennington. New England has a fairly stacked team this year that has a great mixture of experience and youth. Tom Brady and Randy Moss could very well cause chaos this week against Darelle Revis and the young Jets defense. However, the Jets could very well surprise us this week if they put up the kind of performance they did last week in this week's game.
College Games:
We watched a lot of college ball on Saturday, and quite a few players are on our radar this week. Jack English from Stanford and Biff Below from Florida are the big names, obviously. We're hoping the Jets would make a move for English or Below, should an opportunity to snag them come up. Chad Pennington isn't any type of long-term solution, and we're praying the Jets front office agrees and brings in a good quarterback for those of us here who have stood behind the team through the Pennington Era.
Closing Thoughts:
Lou McCullen made a very good impression on Jets fans this weekend. After a mediocre pre-season and some questionable cuts from the roster (Erik Ainge over Aaron Brooks? C'mon.) we were concerned for our team. But McCullen showed us that his way can work. But will it continue to work? Only time will tell.

New York Jets: Week 1
It was a beautiful day for football this morning as the Jets and Dolphins took the field. The game, however, for the Dolphins, would be far less beautiful.
In a game marred by errors and poor play, the Dolphins didn't impress anyone. The offense, save Ronnie Brown, was stagnant overall. The Jets defense swarmed and swarmed poor John Beck until he couldn't take anymore.
Beck's performance was extremely underwhelming, only throwing for 72 yards, and 4 interceptions. Not to mention the 20 incomplete passes he threw. On the other side, Chad Pennington flourished, throwing for over 300 yards.
The Jets played a good game of football this week, and McCullen showed us that his style can show flashes of greatness in the NFL. But he has a long way to go before establishing a name for himself.

People flocked into the cramped media room as Jets owner, Woody Johnson stood firmly behind his podium, answering questions before announcing his decision on who he chose to coach his team into the future.
At exactly 9:12 a.m. EST, Johnson announced that Lou McCullen, the highly touted UCLA offensive coordinator who was the brains behind the "Gold and Blue Bombardment" (the nickname given to the UCLA Bruins' deadly passing game), would be wearing an NFL headset this year.
"I know you don't see many college coaches, much less and college coordinators head to the NFL, and we're taking a calculated risk by hiring him," Johnson said, "But after seeing what he did for UCLA and their offense, hell, their whole team, how could we not at least roll the dice and see what would happen?"
For those unaware, in 2007, McCullen took UCLA's offense to the top of college football. Ben Olson was a force to be reckoned with, as he threw for over 3500 yards and 20 touchdowns. UCLA's defense was their Achilles Heel, however, as the team would only win 8 games in 2007.
"I feel good about the move," said McCullen, when asked about any feelings of nervousness he might have, "I feel like I accomplished what I intended to at UCLA, and that was to improve their offense. Now I'm taking the driver's seat here in New York, and you can expect things will be different."
