The Era of Geno (and Youth) Begins

What a non-surprise! Geno Smith to start for the New York Jets on Sunday!

Tomorrow night he has a chance to show increasing mastery of this offense, and show the fans he should continue as the Jets starting QB. There’s No

Preseason Week 1: Jets vs Lions – 7 Postgame Thoughts

I’ve been through so many preseason games have come to realize that every coach or team uses it for different purposes. I’ve read so many summaries on the Jets-Lions game from last night.  I just have a few thoughts after this game, and the only thing that really matters is injuries. Too bad seeing John Griffin get hurt.  Gotta stay healthy
