Hempstead, NY - The team began going through some practice reps with Tim Rattay running the first offense. Rattay is in his fourth season, first with the Jets after spending the previous three with San Francisco. Rattay was drafted in the 7th round of the 2000 draft out of Louisiana Tech. He came to the Jets through free agency after being released by the Forty-Niners. Rattay was signed with the Jets to compete with Brooks Bollinger for the second string job, Rattay beat out Bollinger, who was also beat out by rookie free agent, John Navarre.

Rattay has been in a west coast offense setting for 8 years now, including college, he throws with accuracy and has good pocket awareness, the concern is that he does throw interceptions, something you cannot afford in playoff football. So expect the Jets to give a heavy dose of Curtis Martin and Lamont Jordan in their game in two weeks.
