I do feel comfortable saying that he stood out simply because he is 6&#8217;7&#8243; and 330lbs.\u00a0 If you are going to key on one players performance against the Panthers, make it Howard.\u00a0 He deserves a look because the Jets don&#8217;t have the answer at RT yet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Demario Davis<\/strong>. All I want to point out here is he is exciting to watch.\u00a0 Seeing him on an inside blitz really gives hope that the Jets are going to disrupt the opposing QB regularly this season.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some additional notes from <a href=\"http:\/\/forums.jetnation.com\/topic\/106494-practice-notes-tuesday-821\">Jets training camp<\/a> on Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JetNation had the opportunity to watch the Family Night Practice at MetLife stadium from the VIP MetLife 50 Club.\u00a0 This was provided to us by our friends at @MetLife_Central.\u00a0 It was my first trip inside this club and yes, it was very nice.\u00a0 Flat screen TVs everywhere, private bar, and a few food stations inside.\u00a0 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":14487,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1337,24],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-14481","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-home-slider","8":"category-camp-reports"},"acf":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/uspw_6407626-scaled.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/peLffi-3Lz","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14481","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14481"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14481\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":58627,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14481\/revisions\/58627"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14487"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14481"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14481"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14481"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
