David Clowney News

You're entitled to knock Mark Sanchez for a lot of things, and goodness knows the Sanchez bashers have formed an overcrowded parade that's marching down Broadway right now.

2. With the Jets playing out the string I am going to move towards a little extra general NFL writing, with the discussions of the NFC/AFC playoff races, weekly picks on important games, etc.

Responding to both the alarming rash of turnovers Mark Sanchez has been involved in as well as some criticism he's received for being more of a defensive coordinator than a head coach, Rex Ryan vowed yesterday to make some significant changes.

Mark LeVoir, left, shown during a game earlier this season, hit Donald Strickland on a block on a bubble screen to slot WR Wes Welker in the second quarter.

The New York Jets say wide receiver David Clowney's Twitter account has been hacked, and a series of expletive-filled tweets are not being written by him.

The only reason they don't get an 'F' is because they made a game of it - temporarily - in the second half with that 11-play, 80-yard drive and Thomas Jones wound up finishing with 103 almost invisible yards.

Writers and editors from The New York Times will be providing live analysis during the Jets' game against the New England Patriots in Foxborough, Mass.

Braylon Edwards, above in the Jets' loss to Jacksonville last Sunday, has caught 16 passes for 271 yards and 2 scores in five games with the Jets.

With punt returner Jim Leonhard unlikely to play Sunday and the Jets' best kickoff returner, Leon Washington, already out for the season with a broken leg, the team remains in search of return candidates.

Okay, so we did this with the kick returner after Leon's injury , but now that Jim Leonhard has had thumb surgery, who do you want returning punts for this team? In a way, this is more important than replacing the kick returner, because a muffed punt can be a huge momentum changer and catching punts in the swirling winds of the Meadowlands is no ...

It could have been any Jets head coach standing there, anyone after Weeb Ewbank, standing there shell-shocked and devastated.

New York Times writers Joe Lapointe and William C. Rhoden are at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., and will provide in-game analysis of the Jaguars-Jets game, with an assist from Connor Ennis at the newspaper's offices in Manhattan.

Wide receiver are both expected to play Sunday after missing a few weeks with quadriceps injuries.

For one thing, he arrived in the nick of time from Cleveland with Jerricho Cotchery hobbled by his hamstring to light it up on Monday night at Miami.

The Jets have had some tough times this season. Here, Braylon Edwards tries to console quarterback Mark Sanchez in the final seconds of the Jets' loss to the Dolphins last weekend, after the Jets failed to score on their last possession.

Through 8 weeks of the season the New York Jets stand at 4-4, 1-3 in the AFC East.

The Jets are heading into a BYE week and are looking for revenge against the Dolphins whose upset on Monday night with seconds remaining in the game crushed the child within all of us.

Snap, Crackle & Pop Snap, Crackle and Pop is a weekly column that reviews the major injuries and then projects both busts and sleepers for the coming week.

NFL Network's Jason LaCanfora reports that Jets WRs Jerricho Cotchery and David Clowney, along with DE Shaun Ellis and LB Bart Scott, are expected to play against the Dolphins on Sunday.

It looks like for the first time since the Jets traded for Braylon Edwards the team will have the big 3 all together.
