First, Thomas Jones, then Alan Faneca. Will Shaun Ellis be the next over-30 veteran dumped by the Jets? He wonders. “I don’t know,” Ellis said. “I think so. Well, I hope so. You never know what they’re thinking up there. You’ve just got to roll with it. We try to control our own fate, but we really can’t.” The Jets’ longest-tenured player, Ellis is due to make $3.35 million in the final year of his contract. He recorded 6½ sacks last season, bringing his career total to 68 and made the Pro Bowl as an alternate. Ellis has a troublesome knee, but the Jets are hoping to squeeze one more season out of him, especially with depth concerns at defensive end. Linebacker Jason Taylor is leaving the Dolphins to play for the Jets, his agent, Gary Wichard, told the Miami Herald. The Miami Herald reported that Taylor is tentatively scheduled to travel to the New York area on Wednesday to sign the contract. Because of the Final Eight rules that restrict the Jets from signing Taylor for more in the first year than what Jay Feely received from leaving the Jets to join the Cardinals, Taylor will be on the Jets’ books for $1.75 million in 2010, but he could earn another $1.25 million to $2 million depending upon his performance. Peyton Manning and the rest of the Colts accepted Jim Caldwell’s plan. The hometown fans didn’t like the imperfect ending one bit. The New York Jets ended the Colts’ pursuit of perfection and their NFL-record 23-game winning streak with a 29-15 victory that had fans serenading Lucas Oil Stadium with boos and Manning, the three-time MVP, offering support for his coach’s decision. “Until any player in here is the head coach, you follow orders and you follow them with all of your heart,” Manning said. “That’s what we’ve done as players. We follow orders. Our orders were not to give up a turnover, not to give up a kick return for a touchdown. There’s not many games, under any circumstances, that you win when you have turnovers and give up a kick return for a touchdown.” New York Jets T-Shirts
New York Jets safety Jim Leonhard is questionable for the team’s game at New England after being limited in practice with a broken right thumb. Coach Rex Ryan said he’d consult with Leonhard and the team’s trainers to see how he feels leading up to the game Sunday. Eric Smith would get the start opposite Kerry Rhodes if Leonhard can’t play. Ryan also ruled out linebacker Vernon Gholston for the second straight week with a hamstring injury. Gholston was injured in practice last Monday in the team’s first workout off the bye-week break.
New York Jets Sports Memorabilia Jets Nation would had to have been blind not to see Kerry Rhodes running a yard behind Marcedes Lewis on the 33-yard completion that essentially sealed a fate the Jets had been tempting since the opening kickoff. “There should have been somebody over the top,” said the free safety, throwing that somebody under the bus, from where strong safety Jim Leonhard emerged with tire marks and an apology. “Knowing we had a timeout, in hindsight we probably should have burned it. It was too late to try to get it changed. You saw what happened.” After David Garrard, who got the ball back with 4:56 to play trailing by one, had twice moved the sticks on third-down conversions to Zach Miller and Mike Thomas (the second on a third-and-9), the Jacksonville quarterback nailed the slant to Lewis that put the ball on the Jets’ 14, setting up Josh Scobee’s chip shot field goal as the game expired. New York Jets Sports Memorabilia New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez is trying to turn Hot Dog-Gate into an opportunity to help the less fortunate in New Jersey. Sanchez was the subject of criticism — and he later issued an apology — when he was caught on camera Sunday eating a hot dog on the sideline during the Jets’ 38-0 victory against the Raiders.
New York Jets Sports Memorabilia The demeanor of the two starting quarterbacks at the end of the game summed it all up. The Jets achieved their goal of taking pressure off their rookie quarterback, forcing four turnovers and running for 316 yards in a 38-0 victory over the Raiders on Sunday. “It makes it so easy on the offense when your defense is playing like that,” Sanchez said.
