I went back to posting every other tweets in blockquote format this week. Also, tell me the type of tweets you like and don't like. The way I do this is I favorite all the tweets I think are interesting throughout the week and then I chose which ones to put in the post. It'll be easier on me, and better for you, if know which ones tickle your fancy the most. Anyways, on to the tweets!
Jets-Patriots Brawl
Rex on Belichick saying something to Mangold after late hit. "Well I've said something to his players & everyone else's players." #Jets
— Chris Nimbley (@Cnimbley) September 16, 2013
Info from appeal. RT @alexandralarrow Why does the league impose the suspensions overturn them a couple days later? What changes?— Andrew Brandt (@adbrandt) September 18, 2013
Asked Aqib Talib if he thought Nick Mangold hit was dirty: "He started to dive when I was in bounds. ... I didn't see it as dirty."
— Mike Reiss (@MikeReiss) September 18, 2013
Mangold said he was "concerned" when Aqib missed a practice and is relieved Talib's fine #jets— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) September 19, 2013
Total fine breakdown for Jets-Pat melee-- Jets: $49,125 (Colon, Ferguson). Patriots: $23,625 (Buchanan, Dennard, Wilfork).

#Jets WR on comeback trail RT @Vidal_Hazelton7 3 weeks outta surgery and I got released from wearing my Crutches today. God is Great!!— Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) September 18, 2013
Santonio said he's not 100 percent yet, his advice to WRs who drop the ball is: "catch the ball." Another week of Tone Time.
— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) September 18, 2013
Santonio said Kerley's injury played a role in his increased snaps vs. #Pats— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) September 18, 2013
Santonio said for the 2nd straight week, he was graded the highest out of all WRs based on "effort + production" #jets
— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) September 18, 2013
Rex Ryan is 6-2 vs. the Bills, only 5-12 vs. the Patriots and Dolphins. #Jets— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) September 19, 2013
One former Jets defensive player on Mike Pettine's departure: "A bunch of players didn't particularly care for him." http://t.co/THRw4Mlq5L
— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) September 19, 2013
Rex opens his presser extending thoughts, prayers and condolences to the Coughlin family for their loss. #NYJ #NYG— Chris Lopresti (@CLoprestiWFAN) September 19, 2013
Rex on play of Simms, said organization likes him "But to say he’s the starting quarterback? I don’t see that." #nyjets
— Kristian Dyer (@KristianRDyer) September 19, 2013
Lal on Gates: "Clyde had an unfortunate game, but he was open. If he completes 2 out of the 4 [drops] we’re saying something different."— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) September 19, 2013
WR coach Sanjay Lal on Jets' six drops last week: "Unacceptable, in any conditions, it doesn’t matter what they were." #nyj
— Seth Walder (@SethWalderNYDN) September 19, 2013
Check that last retweet from Brian Costello who spoke to WR coach Sanjay Lal today. Clyde Gates got behind defense numerous time vs. NE.— Chris Lopresti (@CLoprestiWFAN) September 19, 2013
Obviously, it doesn't matter if Gates doesn't catch the ball but his speed is a weapon and his route-running is a work in progress. #NYJ
— Chris Lopresti (@CLoprestiWFAN) September 19, 2013
I understand the frustration and those who just want to run Gates out of town. Still, where are they getting better WR's from right now?— Chris Lopresti (@CLoprestiWFAN) September 19, 2013
The tape doesn't lie. Gates beat press coverage multiple times and got behind defense. Better throws from Geno and #NYJ likely wins the gm.
— Chris Lopresti (@CLoprestiWFAN) September 19, 2013
Stephen Hill and Clyde Gates have combined for 29 targets through 2 weeks...more than Winslow/Holmes/Kerley/Cumberland combined— Joe Caporoso (@TurnOnTheJets) September 20, 2013
While Clyde Gates was talking to reporters, position coach Sanjay Lal dropped a WRs Test on his chair -- & other wideouts #jets
— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) September 20, 2013
Santonio Holmes and Kellen Winslow relaxing side-by-side at their lockers having a lengthy and friendly chat. #NYJ #VeteranLove— Chris Lopresti (@CLoprestiWFAN) September 20, 2013
For those looking for more Spadola over Gates, etc, Rex says: "I don't think so. That's as honest as I can be." #Jets
— Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) September 20, 2013
Everybody forgetting the offseason that Gates had. My guess is Rex/Marty are betting the NE game was the aberration, not preseason.— Da'Evan Whaley (@EvanWhaley) September 20, 2013
Rex says @KellenWinslowJr is a warrior: "I see the skills... the great hands, the great route running + he moves better than I thought."
— Eric Allen (@eallenjets) September 20, 2013
I would post all the negative tweets about Gates, but I think you can all guess what they would say. People can be pretty creative with the way they use their profanities though, so be sure to use your imagination.
Geno Smith
Asked re: Schefter report Simms could take over, Geno said: "I dont think they wouldve brought me in here if they didnt see the potential...— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) September 16, 2013
Geno, on 98.7FM, said Matt Simms is a good QB, but noted: "I'm the guy for the job." #jets
— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) September 16, 2013
Geno says Sanchez's remarks about winning the competition are his opinion. Asked if he disagrees, he gives a "no comment."— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) September 16, 2013
Geno (on 98.7FM) said "it would've been interesting to see" competition play out w/ Sanchez. Noted MS' injury obvi played a role in decision
— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) September 16, 2013
Again, I don't think it's a necessity that #Jets say Geno's the starter. Reality: He's the starter until he proves he's not, regardless.— Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) September 16, 2013
Could be wrong, but I really don't think Geno gives a damn about not being named the outright starter right now...
— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) September 16, 2013
Now, if they turn to Simms, then we can bombard Geno w. questions re: the org's lack of confidence in him, etc. ...but it's Week 3 (!!!)— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) September 16, 2013
Just through 2 games, but Geno Smith's 55.2 passer rating is 32nd in league _ last among quarterbacks with at least 20 attempts. #Jets
— Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) September 16, 2013
Rex: "I thought Geno looked extremely well throwing the football. I think we're dialing in."— Kristian Dyer (@KristianRDyer) September 19, 2013
Morninwheg on Geno: Great poise. He's ahead of the game. Others have to jack it up, including me. #Jets jokes about run on 3d & 7.
— Greg Logan (@GregLogan1) September 19, 2013
Marty says Geno is working "diligently" at getting rid of the ball quicker.— Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) September 19, 2013
Marty on Geno's 3rd INT last week: "He should not have thrown that ball." #nyj
— Seth Walder (@SethWalderNYDN) September 19, 2013
Marty: "Geno does have a high level of poise. ... He's strong mentally. Very strong young man." #Jets— Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) September 19, 2013
Mark Sanchez
Mark Sanchez arrives at Jets practice just as the portion open to media hounds ends. He can watch practice. Just can't participate.
— Darryl Slater (@DarrylSlater) September 16, 2013
Sterling Sharpe on @NFLNetwork about what Jets should do with Sanchez when he gets off short-term IR: "You gotta give him the job back" #nyj— Manish Mehta (@MMehtaNYDN) September 15, 2013
NFLN’s Shaun O’Hara (ex-Giants center): "If Mark Sanchez was playing quarterback last week, the Jets would have won that game." Thoughts?
— Bart Hubbuch (@HubbuchNYP) September 17, 2013
I’d agree with O’Hara, except Sanchez was in a similarly winnable game at TEN in 2012 and gave one of the worst QB performances of all time.— Bart Hubbuch (@HubbuchNYP) September 17, 2013
Dee Milliner
Asked if he worked w/ first-team D, Dee Milliner said guys were interchanging during practice #jets
— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) September 16, 2013
Milliner said Cro has been talking to him, giving him pep-talks & keeping him "level-headed" #jets— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) September 16, 2013
#Jets DC Thurman says Milliner has been practicing as if he'll start. You have to wait til Sunday. No second-guessing starting rookie.
— Greg Logan (@GregLogan1) September 19, 2013
Unlike a rookie QB ..... benching a rookie CB after a few rough games is acceptable. Let Milliner watch Walls do work for a few games. #Jets— Drew (@DrewfromJersey) September 19, 2013
Jets/Rex learning from mistakes. Not "coddling" Smith by anointing him starter (Sanchez); not blowing Milliner's confidence early (KWilson)
— Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) September 20, 2013
Beginning in May, Jets said Milliner would have to earn starting job. He didn't. Started anyway. That's ok. Idzik drafted a starter at No. 9— Manish Mehta (@MMehtaNYDN) September 20, 2013
Fallout of Jets "competition" talking points is that some people end up sounding disingenuous. #NYJ is willing to live with that.
— Manish Mehta (@MMehtaNYDN) September 20, 2013
Does Manish even realize how much of a complete fool he sounds like recently? His tweets are pure comedy at this point.— Deb (@LilMissNYJet) September 20, 2013
Milliner, who was benched last week, will play and be "part of the rotation" in the secondary. #Jets
— Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) September 20, 2013
Our Old Friend Revis
Underplayed nugget that's actually big: per @MikeGarafolo, Darrelle Revis not happy with Greg Schiano's rules and lack of man coverage.— Bob Glauber (@BobGlauber) September 16, 2013
Revis knew what he was walking into in TB. Schiano a no-nonsense coach who plays Cover-2. I guess $16M/yr makes you overlook things.
— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) September 17, 2013
What's going on Buc fans. Just to clear the smoke. I'm happy to be a Buccaneer & I'm happy to be a resident of Tampa.— Darrelle Revis (@Revis24) September 17, 2013
I'm excited for this year & I'm excited about this team as we move forward to prepare each week to get a W!!!
— Darrelle Revis (@Revis24) September 17, 2013
Darrelle Revis: "I'm happy to be a Buc and a resident of Tampa." Translation: "I'm making $16 million with no state income tax."— Andrew Brandt (@adbrandt) September 17, 2013
Darrelle Revis met w/ hc Greg Schiano late afternoon for about 15 min. "to clear air". Says he has no issues w/ coach. (More)
— Andrea Kremer (@Andrea_Kremer) September 17, 2013
Revis says he has no complaints w/ way is being used. Frustration over 0-2. More A Football Life Backstory 10pmet after documentary airs.— Andrea Kremer (@Andrea_Kremer) September 17, 2013

Interesting interaction between Rex & Revis (via @nflnetwork) in pregame Wk1 . Quick handshake. Revis makes joke. Rex says nothing. #nyj— Manish Mehta (@MMehtaNYDN) September 18, 2013
Revis on quick pre-game interaction with Rex: "I think it seemed like he didn’t know how to approach me... Ain't really much to talk about"
— Manish Mehta (@MMehtaNYDN) September 18, 2013
Rex did embrace Revis after the game and said something in his ear. That was nice to see. #nyj— Manish Mehta (@MMehtaNYDN) September 18, 2013
A couple of references in "AFL" (NFL Network) about how Jets "gave up on" Revis. Please. It takes 2 for a divorce.
— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) September 18, 2013
Silliest thing I heard re: Revis after trade: Rex Ryan's defense made him great.... Bottom line: He's a superstar in any system on any team— Manish Mehta (@MMehtaNYDN) September 18, 2013
Hahaha RT @NFLSTROUD: Revis on reports he was unhappy with Schiano/defense, which he has denied. "I thought my New York days were over.''
— Bart Hubbuch (@HubbuchNYP) September 18, 2013
@DrewfromJersey He creates a lot of drama on the sky with cryptic comments that allow him plausible deniability. He's the master of that.
— Bart Hubbuch (@HubbuchNYP) September 18, 2013
The only thing that separates a healthy Revis from Sherman is off coverage - Revis was dominant both press/off cvrg

Malone did have that 84-yard punt in the opener, but he ranks 28th in net average (37.1). #Jets— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) September 16, 2013
Rex cited Malone's inconsistency, lack of hang time in the decision that got him cut.

The Jets are No. 2 in total defense after Week 2 #nyj— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) September 17, 2013
The Jets are No. 25 in offense. #nyj

Of all the NFL's rule changes, seems IR/designated to return is one of the best. Huge, huge help for #Falcons, #Jets, #49ers, #Patriots...— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) September 17, 2013
#Jets most efficient personnel grouping when passing: Powell, Bohanon, Holmes, Gates, Hill. No TE. Averaging 11.14 yds on 7 pass plays.

Pettine on sharing #Jets info with other #Bills coaches : "I think you can get caught up in it too much ... You end up chasing ghosts"
— Buffalo Bills (@buffalobills) September 18, 2013
#Jets have used 49 unique lineups on offense, fourth-most in the league. FWIW.— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) September 18, 2013
AFC East defensive pressure % through two games: Jets—28.4 %; Patriots—32.4 %; Bills—36.6 %; Dolphins—47.7 %. (via @PFF)— Erik Frenz (@ErikFrenz) September 18, 2013

@ECStoner you see my numbers on Sheldon Richardson the other day? 50% of snaps at 3-tech in Jets "3-4" scheme— Steve Palazzolo (@StevePalazzolo) September 18, 2013
ESPN the Mag just sent a release that the Jets rank 121st out of 122 pro teams in their "franchise" issue which measures fan friendliness.

Sacramento Kings being the only one behind the Jets.
Those ESPN rankings are based on a whole bunch of factors including ticket prices, ownership, title chances, stadium experience.— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) September 18, 2013

No cornerbacks have played more press coverage than Antonio Cromartie and Alfonzo Dennard. That's pre-snap alignment, not responsibility
— Steve Palazzolo (@StevePalazzolo) September 19, 2013
Milliner and Cromartie rank 88th and 90th (out of 93 CBs) in pas cov. grade. Harris and Davis in the Top-10 overall grade among ILBs. #Jets— Gonzalo Estradé (@PFF_Gonzalo) September 19, 2013
You can tell something changed in the #Jets defense just by those numbers. Front-seven is the strength of the unit now.
— Gonzalo Estradé (@PFF_Gonzalo) September 19, 2013
#Bills OTs have only given up 4 total pressures with no sacks while their OGs have surrendered 13 without sacks too.— Gonzalo Estradé (@PFF_Gonzalo) September 19, 2013

Coples swears this is the first time he's ever been injured. Feels good but leaving it up to trainers/doctors to decide on his return. #NYJ— Chris Lopresti (@CLoprestiWFAN) September 19, 2013
Cromartie says he's feeling the best he has since the first day of training camp. "I was playing on one hip." #Jets
— Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) September 19, 2013
I pointed out to Damon Harrison that @PFF has him graded as the best run stopping DT so far, he shrugged it off. Not buying his own hype....— Chris Nimbley (@Cnimbley) September 19, 2013
Snacks was very appreciative of @PFF's grades, but said he can't pay attention to the praise, refuses to be complacent. #Jets
— Chris Nimbley (@Cnimbley) September 19, 2013
Snacks was also extremely grateful for the time he got to spend w/ Sione Pouha last year, learned a lot from him & still keeps in touch...— Chris Nimbley (@Cnimbley) September 19, 2013
Snacks said when he first got here people told him if there's one guy for him to listen to & emulate, it's Sione & Snacks did just that

#Jets ST coordinator Ben Kotwica says he thinks Ryan Quigley is here to stay as team's punter. Not a week-to-week deal.— Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) September 19, 2013

"I don't know how he's doing it but he's done it," Rex Ryan said of Quinton Coples, who is probable for Bills after surgery a few weeks ago.— Jane McManus (@janesports) September 20, 2013
