Hempstead, NY - At Coach Ed McGregor's weekly press conference he stressed a sense of urgency for his team as they get set to head to New England to play their division rivals, the Patriots. McGregor stated that the team is going to need to eliminate any mental mistakes to win this ball game.

In two weeks the Jets have committed 3 turnovers while forcing none, they have had costly penalties, given up a kickoff return for a touchdown, and missed a field goal that gave Washington field position to quickly move in and win in week one.

McGregor says that Bailey has been listed as questionable for this week's game, however, he will still be listed on the inactive roster. Pennington will start and is expected to play the entire game, despite sore ribs from a shot he took by Miami's defensive end, Jason Tayor.

Offensively the Jets just have not moved the ball through the first two week. Moss, Coles replacement, has managed 8 receptions for a mere 100 yards. With Moss' explosiveness the Jets are looking towards Moss to stretch the field to open up underneath for Chrebet and Becht. Second round draft pick, Tyrone Calico, who was brought in to start at the SE position has just one catch for 10 yards as Chrebet's backup.

On defense, which was a concern for the Jets, they have given up just 537 yards to their opponents in two games, however, the Jets have caused no turnovers. The Jets need Cowart and John Abraham to make some big plays and be the difference makers that McGregor sees them as.

New England comes in at 1-1. Last season they fell short of making the playoffs, just one year after winning the Super Bowl. The Pats feel they have improved their D, which struggled against the run, with the addition of Ted Washington and moving Seymour to the DE position. Rookie Dwayne Robertson figures to add to the Pats pass rush. Offensively Brady looks to continue his improvement, and against this Jets team, the Pats can cause problems with their quick passing game.
