Sorry that this is up a little late today. I was busy printing my "I Survived Hurricane Irene" shirt.

Apparently, LS Tanner Purdum and his wife provided shelter to the whole special teams squad. I don't know if this story was confirmed since they didn't even spell check the player's name.

Alabama's Press-Register writes about hometown boy QB Greg McElroy.

Bob Glauber writes about QB Mark Sanchez and WR Santonio Holmes connecting.

Rod Boone: WR Derrick Mason is coming along nicely.

ESPN New York: Whos' staying and who's going.

New York Post: Longtime Jets fans are punished by the preseason.

Former Jets QB Chad Pennington talks about former Dolphins QB Pat White.

NorthJersey.com: NJ Governor Chris Christie asked the NFL to delay the game. Not to get into politics, but why would you name your son Chris if your last name was Christie?

Don't get the point of that roster list by Cimini

He’s named the no doubters, sure but where is the value in listing that many guys on the bubble (unless I’m reading it wrong every name there is in bold or italics)? Or does he think the Jets are considering carrying Willy as the 4th QB? Kinda wish he had narrowed it down a bit, and given us a better idea of who he thinks will and won’t make the final 53, there have been much better breakdowns here on GGN that’s for sure.

Also, tough call on Cumberland? Seriously? How is that roster spot in any doubt whatsoever, or have I completely missed something?

completely agree with cumberland

he has been even better than mulligan, now he isnt a blocker but if anyone should be on the bubble it should be mulligan over cumberland

Cimini

is lazy and incompetent. Since when he has ever come up with any real news or an original thought? He just repeats the same interviews, articles and info that others have. He sees the same facts that other sportswriters see, but almost always manages to come up with a negative spin on the things for the Jets. He’s a doofus and a Jets hater. Eff him!

He does that on twitter, just retweeting other peoples stories… I unfollowed him long time ago.

I hope we keep Gilbert and roll with a crazy deep rotation at DL. Keep them coming in waves, and keep switching up the fronts from 3 to 4-man.

Then we’ll have a bunch of fresh DLs that can play with a high level of intensity all game long. And we can keep the opposing OL guessing, and force them to not only meet that intensity all game long, but also drain them mentally by constant change in personnel and blitz calls.

We should be able to really wear teams down in the 2nd half of games and late in the season. Plus guys will treasure their reps and really duke it out in practices during the week to try to increase their usage.
