Since the record-setting days of Joe Namath, the New York Jets have always been one of the most aggressive and respected teams in the NFL. Over the years, the New York Jets have had a long legacy of great coaches, and current head coach Eric Mangini matches up with the best. After a disappointing 4-12 season, the NY Jets look to bounce back to their playoff form of 2006.
Winning should be no problem this season with legendary QB Brett Favre taking the reins and orchestrating a prolific offense. Rookie TE Dustin Keller joins WR Laveranues Coles to form a powerful passing attack. G Alan Faneca brings veteran leadership to a budding offensive line, opening holes for RB Thomas Jones. The 3-4 defense of the Jets can bring pressure from all angles with first-round pick OLB Vernon Gholston and free agent Calvin Pace posing as a pass rushing force. NT Chris Jenkins holds down the line, with an impressive secondary featuring Darrelle Revis and Kerry Rhoads shutting down the passing game.
The “Man-Genius” Eric Mangini is a defensive guru and a great motivator. The New York Jets will look to take over the AFC East, although the Buffalo Bills and the rebuilding Miami Dolphins are standing in their way. The biggest threat to AFC East dominance is the New England Patriots, who have become the hated rivals of the Jets. Outside the AFC East, the New York Jets will face stiff competition from the likes of the San Diego Chargers and the Denver Broncos.
The Jets play out of The Meadowlands – also known as Giants Stadium – in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The Meadowlands is a classic venue that is often filled with 80,000 fans chanting for the Jets. In winter, the frozen field of the Meadowlands sets the stage for snow games that are always fan favorites and lead to big hits.
