Die Hard Jets Fan

Happy Thanksgiving to all. Today Gang Green faces the Dallas Cowboys in Dallas. It has been a short week for the Jets, but I think we can pull off another win today. Back in 1999, the Jets beat Dallas 22-21 on a John Hall field goal. Clemens must play well and Thomas Jones must carry the ball at lest 30 time him to be effective. Kerry Rhodes and Shaun Ellis must be able to contain T.O. Jets defense has to play well. Darrelle Revis will have his hands full having to guard Terrell Owens must get help from Rhodes. Questionable are Laverneus Coles (ankle) Dewayne Robertson (knee) and S Eric Smith (concussion).

The Jets are looking for a big game tomorrow from its defense.  According to Newsday’s article, D’Brickashaw Ferguson has not played well in his first two games this year.  Eric Mangini has said that Ferguson played well last week against Baltimore.  However, the Jets organization felt that Ferguson being the number one draft in 2006 would make a big impact on defense.  This week D’Brickashaw goes against Miami’s Jason Taylor who happens to be player of the year in 2006.  D’Brickashaw will need a lot of help from Jonathon Vilma, and Shaun Ellis to contain Mr. Taylor and Mr. Thomas. As of today, Mangini has not said who will start against Miami.  Chad Pennington did not take part in a full practice yesterday.  Will we see Kellen or Chad on Sunday?
