He’s a tough kid. They have this lightweight stuff that’s supposed to be very protective, so we’ll see if he can go or not. You’ve got to be able to tackle. Obviously, he won’t be able to catch. (I want) to see if he can get off the block and tackle." http://nyj.scout.com/2/921814.html Dan Leberfeld http://nyj.scout.com/2/921814.html Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:11:00 GMT 0 65 NY Jets nyj Jim Leonhard on his broken thumb - "It was better than I thought it would be. There still is time. It will definitely feel a little bit better on Sunday. It will be (a) gametime (decision). We’re not sure what is going to happen until then. We need this one, so I am going to do everything in my power. Ultimately, you want to be able to play to where you are not thinking about it." http://nyj.scout.com/2/921792.html Dan Leberfeld http://nyj.scout.com/2/921792.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:10:00 GMT 0 65 NY Jets nyj Was Bill Belichick's decision to go for it on fourth-and-two late in the Indianapolis game a good decision? Probably not. But enough already! So many reporters won't let it go. Belichick is one of the greatest coaches of all time. He made a questionable decision. The amount of coverage of this story is over-the-top. Can we move on already! http://nyj.scout.com/2/921774.html Dan Leberfeld http://nyj.scout.com/2/921774.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:18:00 GMT 0 65 NY Jets nyj Jets Confidential's Dan Leberfeld is on WRKI 95.1 FM, Gridiron report again this week.

I told you that before the season. http://nyj.scout.com/2/921635.html Martin Di Caro http://nyj.scout.com/2/921635.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:59:00 GMT 0 65 NY Jets nyj It's hard to figure out the N.E. injury report, but based on what they have submitted, it looks like they are banged-up. Four prominent defensive players, LB Tully Banta-Cain (groin), LB Rob Ninkovich (knee) and DE Jarvis Green (knee) all were held out of practice on Wednesday and Thursday. Also starting guard Stephen Neal (concussion) hasn't practiced this week. DE Ty Warren (ankle) is also iffy. http://nyj.scout.com/2/921501.html Dan Leberfeld http://nyj.scout.com/2/921501.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:37:00 GMT 0 65 NY Jets nyj "What looks best is Jerricho," said Westhoff. "He's very sure-handed. He catches punts all the time. He feels real good about doing it. He likes doing it. In practice, I think he did the best job. Back in the day, before he became famous, he had the top kick return average in the NFL. I like what I saw, and feel comfortable with [Jerricho]." http://nyj.scout.com/2/921420.html Dan Leberfeld http://nyj.scout.com/2/921420.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:14:00 GMT 0 65 NY Jets nyj "People expect them to blitz us more," said Rex Ryan. "But somebody is going to have to cover Braylon and Jerricho. David Clowney has speed to go by you." http://nyj.scout.com/2/921405.html Dan Leberfeld http://nyj.scout.com/2/921405.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:18:00 GMT 0 65 NY Jets nyj The Jets Confidential Florida Party is back, and this year it's at Courtside Grille in St. Petersburg.

Keels, who stole Washington from agent Alan Herman, hasn't been able to get Washington since taking over last earlier this year. http://nyj.scout.com/2/921374.html Dan Leberfeld http://nyj.scout.com/2/921374.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:13:00 GMT 0 65 NY Jets nyj "The doctors in Berkeley did a tremendous job. Dr. Chang said he did a 1,000 surgeries like this. He said I should have a full recovery in six-12 months. He expects me to have a full recovery. My goal is when we get back in March, I want to be moving around pretty good. I want to be running around at six months." http://nyj.scout.com/2/921367.html Dan Leberfeld http://nyj.scout.com/2/921367.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:46:00 GMT 0 65 NY Jets nyj "It wasn't the worst pain I've every felt. When I dislocated my elbow in college, it was a lot worse. When I got to the X-Ray room, I called my family to let them know I was okay. Things like that happen in your life. They make you put things in perspective. It got me back in touch with my faith and God. The main benefit is I get to spend time with my boys at home." http://nyj.scout.com/2/921366.html Dan Leberfeld http://nyj.scout.com/2/921366.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:40:00 GMT 0 65 NY Jets nyj Many New York reporters were very upset with Mark Sanchez for reading a statement after the Jacksonville game. Mike Tannenbaum chimed in as well. They all got what they wanted, the QB admitted he was wrong - "I thought I had everything figured out of course as a 23-year-old rookie would, but probably not the best way to go about it. Trial and error and hopefully a one-time mistake." http://nyj.scout.com/2/921334.html Dan Leberfeld http://nyj.scout.com/2/921334.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:02:00 GMT 0 65 NY Jets nyj Gary Myers even ripped Ryan's press conference in Thursday's Daily News - "Ryan was all over the map Tuesday, even doing a little self-scouting on his first year as a head coach in the NFL. 'Am I as good a coach as I'm going to be next year or the year after?" he said. "Probably not, because I don't have that experience.'" http://nyj.scout.com/2/921331.html Dan Leberfeld http://nyj.scout.com/2/921331.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:53:00 GMT 0 65 NY Jets nyj New York Daily News writer Gary Myers went the Same Old Jets route once again in his Thursday column - "[Ryan] has talent on this team, but the players who have been here through the previous administrations don't know what it takes to close out games. Ryan is learning on the run that the Same Old Jets syndrome is a mind-set more real than anybody wants to admit." http://nyj.scout.com/2/921328.html Dan Leberfeld http://nyj.scout.com/2/921328.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:43:00 GMT 0 65 NY Jets nyj The Jets offensive line had another solid game led by Nick Mangold. http://nyj.scout.com/2/921105.html Dan Leberfeld http://nyj.scout.com/2/921105.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:12:00 GMT 1 65 NY Jets nyj "We had no turnovers (in the first meeting)," said Mark Sanchez. "They are 55-1 when they win the turnover battle in New England. We have to do our best to take care of the football. We have to be sharp. They have great ball skills." http://nyj.scout.com/2/921070.html Dan Leberfeld http://nyj.scout.com/2/921070.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:39:00 GMT 0 65 NY Jets nyj Reporters can't wait for Sanchez to apologize to them for reading a statement after the game. The nerve of him. And knowing the Jets, and how they cater to the media, even the nastiest of nasty reporters, I think the apology will be coming. Rex was asked a number of questions about it and said he didn't see it. The man is preparing for the Patriots, he doesn't have time for this trivial nonsense. http://nyj.scout.com/2/921047.html Dan Leberfeld http://nyj.scout.com/2/921047.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:02:00 GMT 0 65 NY Jets nyj "If we win this game we are one game out of first place, with an advantage in the tie-breaker (against New England), and six games to play," said Rex Ryan. http://nyj.scout.com/2/921041.html Dan Leberfeld http://nyj.scout.com/2/921041.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:38:00 GMT 0 65 NY Jets nyj Florham Park - With safety Jim Leonhard not likely to play this Sunday because of a broken right thumb, the Jets need to assign the helmet with the defensive signals (from the sidelines), and it looks like inside linebacker David Harris will get the wired helmet. http://nyj.scout.com/2/921037.html Dan Leberfeld http://nyj.scout.com/2/921037.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:30:00 GMT 0 65 NY Jets nyj
