14,000 Yards for Curtis Martin

Sunday nights game was close one. The New York Jets took on the New Orleans Saints in a battle on ESPN. Midway through the first quarter, Curtis Martin became just the fourth-player in NFL history to rush for 14,000 yards, joining Emmitt Smith (18,355), Walter Payton (16,726) & Barry Sanders (15,269). Martin reached the mark with a great run, sprinting for a 23-yard gain. Unfortunately the New York Jets lost this one 21-19 but played very well. The season has been over for the Jets after week 4 but now we have new hope. It comes in the form of Reggie Bush. The USC running back will most likely be the NFL's top draft pick and if the Jets keep losing, we might get a shot at picking up the leading rusher for the NCAA.

Broncos Shutout the Jets at Mile High!

The Jets traveled to Denver Sunday for the first time since the 1998 AFC Championship Game (Jan. 17, 1999), a game the Broncos captured 23-10 en route to their Super Bowl championship that season. Head coach Herman Edwards has posted a 37-37 record as head coach of the Jets since taking over in 2001. Third-year QB Brooks Bollinger, who completed four of five passes for 26 yards, made his third career start for the Green & White. He left the game in the second quarter with a head injury and did not return.

When the Jets returned to the field, veteran QB Vinny Testaverde (15-25-152-2INT) took over offensive command in place of the injured Bollinger. Besides losing this game by 27 points, the stat that stood out in my mind was Curtis Martin running for 7 yards on 4 attempts. Even if we had Peyton Manning on the Jets, 7 yards rushing will not win games. The Jets played without the intensity they have shown in the past and I am looking forward to a top five draft pick come next season. Despite all the disappointing games this season I am still keeping up-to-date with my favorite sports team and if you want to, check this out!

The Jets Need Help!!!

Heading in week 10, the New York Jets showed they can play with the best after a close one with San Diego. Now it is safe to say, any win from now to the end of the season will be a surprise. The 30-3 score against the Panthers backs this up. So does a missing Wayne Chrebet, Kevin Mawae, Chad Pennington, and Eric Barton just to name a few. Injuries have plagued the Jets this season and it shows. Herm Edwards in my opinion is not to blame but something needs to be done. Maybe it's tightening up our running game or finding a QB with enough athleticism to run out of the pocket and make an accurate throw. I don't have it in me to write about the game so if you want all the stats you can click HERE! Be ready for the Broncos next week because that will prove to be an even harder game for the Jets in my opinion.

Jets Make It A Close One Against The Chargers

Herm and the Gang rumbled into the Meadowlands on Sunday afternoon after a weeks worth of rest. Refreshed from a week without playing a game, they looked to win against the San Diego Chargers and came so close. I don't think the Jets played to their potential but definitely showed that no team has an easy game against them. Brooks Bollinger went 11/20 and 106 yards with 2 TD passes. No too bad for a QB who hasn't played too many downs as a professional football player. The 3rd/4th string quarterback lead the Jets to within 4 points of the Chargers until time ran down and the Jets became 2-6 for the season. Every week I check the power rankings on ESPN.com and the Jets keep dropping. If you read the weekly ranks and feel depressed, your not the only one! I'm out for now but keep in check for new updates.
