Bryan Cox Still Fires People Up

File Under: John Abraham, C.J. Mosley, Bryan Cox, assistant defensive line coach

People have always felt strongly both ways about Bryan Cox.

Back when Cox was playing, opposing teams and their fans swore at him while his teammates and coaches swore by him. Bill Parcells brought him to Hempstead in 1998 and his will was a large part of the reason the Jets made it to Denver and to within 30 minutes of a Super Bowl appearance.

And now in his second year as the Green & White's a… More

A Confluence of Quarterbacks

File Under: Eagles, Chad Pennington, Marques Tuiasosopo, Kellen Clemens

It was an interesting quarterback committee in the Jets' locker room at the Linc following their 13-11 comeback win over the host Eagles.

Marques Tuiasosopo was holding court as he hadn't all season, and why shouldn't he? Even though his passing numbers were unimpressive (9-for-16, 78 yards, two sacks, 69.3 rating), his play loomed very large in the win as he tucked the ball in and scored the Je… More

Jets-Eagles: Fourth Quarter

File Under: Chansi Stuckey, Marques Tuiasosopo, Mike Nugent

And the Jets are on the board! Marques Tuiasosopo, flushed up in the pocket by the Eagles' outside rush, tucks the ball and takes off. No slide here — Tui fights his way through two defenders burst into the end zone. Even 12 Eagles on the field don't prevent Mike Nugent's extra point, and it's 10-3, Jets, seven seconds into the final period.

Sorry, technical difficulties there for a few minutes… More

Jets-Eagles: Third Quarter

File Under: Chansi Stuckey, Anthony Schlegel, Marques Tuiasosopo, Ben Graham, Sav Rocca

Marques Tuiasosopo is the third QB in for the Jets and his first pass is crisp, down the field, on the money — and dropped by WR Chris Davis on the deep in-cut. Another Ben Grahm punt.

The Jets defense, with Anthony Schlegel playing inside with Blake Costanzo in the base and on at LB in the dime, slows the Philly offense at the Jets' 45. Sav Rocca, the former Australian Rules football player wh… More

Jets-Eagles: Second Quarter

File Under: Stacy Tutt, Adrian Jones, C.J. Mosley, David Akers, Kevin Kolb

The Jets open the second frame by starting their second series. And Clemens is out at QB and Brad Smith is in. And the Green & White offense goes nowhere on three plays. This time Ben Graham handles the snap, hits a beauty inside the 5, and Greg Lewis is taken out of bounds by Rashad Washington at the Birds' 18.

Rookie Kevin Kolb likewise takes over the Eagles' offensive controls, with little ini… More
