\nThe overall tone of the practice today was pretty relaxed. We started following the defense and they started off with some Tip Drills, working on blitz packages, etc\u2026 Rex was tossing the balls in the tip drill, it was nice to see him involved. At one point he said, \u201cNow Marino\u2019s got it goin\u2019!\u201d – now it\u2019s one thing to joke about having Marino\u2019s arm, but to do it as the head coach of the New York Jets? Eh\u2026 Will give Rex a pass on this one.\n<\/p>\n

\nIt was clear that the most audible guy out there was Cromartie. He has a great energy level, bordering on goofy at times. I just hope he is taking this seriously, but it is good to see him out there, loose and really enjoying himself. Kris Jenkins also had a couple of outbursts encouraging teammates, but he also couldn\u2019t stay onsides. It was curious to see that he didn\u2019t have to run any laps!\n<\/p>\n

\nIn terms of the offense, it wasn\u2019t a great day in 7 v 7\u2019s and 11 v 11\u2019s. There were very few impressive completions today. It seemed at times Sanchez was sitting on some decisions. I\u2019m hoping to see him sharper in the PM practice, and able to anticipate some guys getting open. There were certainly a lot of checkdowns \u2013 which I think we\u2019ll all agree the offense and Sanchez needed to improve upon from last year greatly. It will raise his Completion percentage a few points and possible gain some big plays out of Tomlinson and McKnight\n<\/p>\n

\nSpeaking of McKnight, they had a drill with LB\u2019s covering the RB\u2019s\u2026 He was impressive. He made a couple of \u201credonculous\u201d moves and got some ooh\u2019s and aah\u2019s from some teammates. He also seemed focused and has some good hands. Good to see him making progress in lieu of Leon\u2019s absence.\n<\/p>\n

\nNick Folk looked really sharp this morning. He was 6 for 7 on field goals, the one miss coming from a Braylon Edwards block. Awesome to see them putting him in there, although I wouldn\u2019t be surprised to see him get one or two flags this year for jumping off some lineman\u2019s backs.\n<\/p>\n

\nI think the play of the day is up for debate\u2026 I\u2019ll let you guys be the judge!<\/p>\n

\n1) In WR vs. CB 1 on 1\u2019s Marquice Cole lined up against Braylon Edwards. As Edwards broke into his route, Cole Jammed him VERY hard at the line, and got a hand up in the face. This was right in front of the entire WR core and a bunch of DB\u2019s and they all erupted with Ohhhhh! It was pretty obvious that it kind of stunned Braylon. Here\u2019s the kicker, he was able to shake it off, run an up and out, and O\u2019Connell put a ball in the air about 35 yards down field, he went up and got it as he was falling out of bounds, and somehow was able to keep his feet in. UNREAL grab. It got me thinking\u2026 do we need to get Braylon a little angry to get him going and super focused? You could tell that as soon as he got hit in the face, he kicking into another gear of \u201cangry focus\u201d and was uber-determined to make the catch.\n<\/p>\n

\n2) At the very end of practice, it seems it was Drew Coleman\u2019s turn to kick the last field goal. It had to be 40+ yards\u2026 He toed the crap out of it (I\u2019m played soccer in college and it makes me cringe when I see them toe the ball) and it was long enough\u2026. And just went wide right (thx to Manish Mehta of the Daily news for the confirmation on that \u2013 you can follow him on Twitter – @theJetsStream. The entire team still went nuts, it was fun to watch.\n<\/p>\n

\nThanks to Center City Bar & Grill for a great office and allowing me to set up my remote office!\n<\/p>\n

\nFinal Thoughts\u2026\n<\/p>\n

\nGreat morning! Sorry to get sentimental on you guys\u2026 but I\u2019m here with my dad who is on the heels of some very intense Chemotherapy. He is battling Lymphoma and we are hopeful, but I just wanted to say thanks to Phil and company at Jetnation.com for letting me participate. Please, please\u2026 the next time you watch a Jets game or practice, or any Jets related show on TV and you are with your dad, or son, daughter, mom, friend\u2026 realize how lucky you are to be sharing it with someone you truly care about. Without my dad the Jets wouldn\u2019t mean nearly as much and I feel so blessed to be here with him and enjoying this experience.\n<\/p>\n
