Jets-Titans Post Game Analysis
Don LaGreca got it right - Geno’s mistakes came from trying too hard, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. #Jets
— Deb (@LilMissNYJet) September 29, 2013
Geno Smith and Vlad Ducasse tied for worst rating by @PFF yesterday (-6.3). Vlad lowest rated player for season by a lot. #nyj— Seth Walder (@SethWalderNYDN) September 30, 2013
#Jets Ball Possession against the Titans---> INT, P, FG, FUMBLE, FG, INT, END OF HALF, P, P, P, DOWNS, FUMBLE, TD, P - Avg. Start at NYJ 19

Jets could not run any screens...Looks like titans gameplanned hard for them— Mike Nolan (@nolan_nfl) October 2, 2013
On screens: A sack that should have been safety and fumble in endzone...Noticing Marty really likes screens when backed up to own endzone
— Mike Nolan (@nolan_nfl) October 2, 2013
Willie Colon is usually excellent at selling the screen up front...Titans DTs weren't taking the bait— Mike Nolan (@nolan_nfl) October 3, 2013
I don't know how but I got through all of the Jets-Titans tape...Worst Film I've watched since "The Happening"

Vlad Ducasse played one of the worst games I have ever seen from a professional offensive lineman #Jets— Mike Nolan (@nolan_nfl) October 3, 2013
Austin Howard wasn't far behind Vlad on the grade sheet...just didn't have as many critical errors #Jets

Jets-Falcons Pre-Game Tweets
I can tell you right now that Winters may not be an immediate upgrade...He is a guy that we will have to be patient with— Mike Nolan (@nolan_nfl) October 1, 2013
From his preseason performance Winters will struggle with pass pro...However he was playing next to Jason Smith

Second week in a row the #Jets get a favorable matchup, on paper, in the middle of field. Failed to take advantage of it vs. TEN.

Kellen Winslow on Geno: "We believe in this guy. We know what he's about." #jets— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) September 29, 2013
As for the O-line protection, Rex said "at times it was outstanding." But added "it takes one guy to miss" and "5 sacks is not good."

Rex emphasizes the defense has to start creating turnovers. #nyj— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) September 30, 2013
Rex: We'll take a look at leaning more on the run game with Geno struggling and WR's banged up. #NYJ

Ryan said he won't bench Geno Smith to get the benefit of watching a game, the way he did with Dee Milliner. "Not a thought." #NFL #Jets— Jane McManus (@janesports) September 30, 2013
Rex says Wilkerson did the right thing on the Locker hit by lowering his target. On hit on Hill: "no flag was thrown." #nyj

Rex Ryan on whether he's considering benching Geno: "It's not a thought at this pt right now." Wow, that's a double disclaimer. Hmm #Jets— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) September 30, 2013
Mike Goodson on being able to return this week: "Words can’t even express how excited I am." #nyj

Goodson: "Just a spark. Hopefully a spark. Wherever they choose to place me, wherever they choose to put me at, just bring a spark." #Jets— Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) September 30, 2013
Meanwhile, when asked about Griffin's hit on Hill, the only thing Rex Ryan said was that there was no flag on the play. Restraint. #NYJ
— Chris Lopresti (@CLoprestiWFAN) September 30, 2013
Willie Colon agreed Rex is in win-now mode, but told me: "There's no other way to go about what we're dealing w/ right now...(contd) #jets— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) October 1, 2013

Vlad on Winters getting 1st-tm reps: "I'm not gonna say I'm happy....I was just doing my job to the best of my ability." #jets— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) October 2, 2013
Nelson was impressed that Geno called him into the film room to watch the Falcons' defense with him. #Jets

David Nelson very impressive speaking in the LR. Seems to have a good head on his shoulders. Says surgically-repaired knee not an issue.— Chris Lopresti (@CLoprestiWFAN) October 2, 2013

Rex on Wilkerson's hit and fine: "The intent wasn't to injure a player...I thought Mo was trying to rush the passer."— Kristian Dyer (@KristianRDyer) October 3, 2013
Not looking good for Holmes and Hill. Rex says "you guys figure it out" and notes that they haven't practiced yet this week. #NYJ
— Chris Lopresti (@CLoprestiWFAN) October 3, 2013
Ryan said Brian Winters is working a lot with the ones, but Ryan won't say he's definitely the starter yet. #Jets #NFL— Jane McManus (@janesports) October 3, 2013
Stephen Hill looks to be in good spirits in the locker room but hasn't completed NFL's concussion protocol so he can't speak w/media. #NYJ

Wilkerson said he was cited for roughing the passer, but noted there was no flag for that at the time. #Jets #NFL— Jane McManus (@janesports) October 3, 2013
Wilkerson says he didn't think it was a dirty hit and would have appealed any fine. #nyj
— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) October 3, 2013
Told Jake Locker didn't think the hit was dirty, Wilkerson said: "I personally don’t think it was a dirty hit. I mean, he said it." #jets— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) October 3, 2013
Jets LB Quinton Coples on the Locker hit that drew an NFL fine: "One thing about it, it’s up for debate. So I’m going to appeal it."

Nelson said he has not had a chance to talk to Tebow about playing for the Jets since he signed. #nyj— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) October 3, 2013
Nelson said he's surprised Tebow has not been signed: "I am just because I know him and I know what he can bring to a team ,,,
— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) October 3, 2013
Q: Have u given advice or counseled Goodson? Santonio: "That's not part of my job description...I'm excited to see him get back on field"— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) October 3, 2013
Holmes at first wouldn't say if he'll be out Monday. But shortly after said this is first hamstring injury that caused him to miss a game.

Mornhinweg, with his finger in the air, says the penalties are his responsibility. Must change...along with pass protection. #NYJ— Chris Lopresti (@CLoprestiWFAN) October 4, 2013
Marty: Fix No. 3 - sacks allowed. ....Mornhinweg said #Jets had a "put it on the table" meeting

Thurman said Darrin Walls is always poised + is no stranger to big games. "Hell, he went to Notre Dame." Adds, Walls is "an old soul."— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) October 4, 2013

Santonio Holmes, Calvin Pace, and the New York Sports Media
Holmes on why he had only 1 catch vs Titans: "I can't throw it to myself and catch it." A Nicks-onian comment. #Jets
— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) October 3, 2013
So, Santonio Holmes said today that he was 100% for Week 1. When asked every week for past month whether he was 100%, he always said no #nyj— Manish Mehta (@MMehtaNYDN) October 3, 2013
Holmes said he went into season at 100 pct. Odd, because he had been claiming he's NOT 100 pct because of foot surgery. #Jets
