- Turn On The Jets 12 Pack: Reasons For Optimism
The Turn On The Jets 12 pack looks at reasons to be optimistic for the upcoming season
- WR White out two months after foot surgery
Unsigned rookie WR Jordan White, a seventh-round pick whose college career was plagued with injuries, fractured the fifth metatarsal in his left foot in the first OTA practice and underwent surgery, the Jets announced Friday.
White’s “estimated return” is around training camp in late July, according to the team.
White dropped in the draft because of major durability questions and, sure enough, he went down on May 21, the first OTA.
He underwent surgery two days later, the team said.
- Chat recap: Revis contract issue a hot topic
We just wrapped up another Jets chat session and — surprise — the conversation wasn’t dominated by Mark Sanchez-Tim Tebow questions. Among the highlights:
1. Darrelle Revis’ contract situation. Is Revis on an island here? Judging from the reaction, Jets fans aren’t too happy with their best player, who said Thursday he may or may not show up for the start of training camp. Some fans even mentioned the ‘T’ word — trade. Would the Jets trade Revis?
- Everyone is Talking About What Darrelle Revis Doesn’t Want to Talk About
Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives…*. All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis was asked yet again about his contract situation yesterday, and as has been the case with every single interview regarding his contract, Revis declined to say whether or not he was planning to hold out of training camp. Word on [...]

- Reflections on Hard Knocks
Now that the Dolphins are officially the “Hard Knocks” team, NFL fans won’t be able to settle in to watch the Jets for an hour each week with their popcorn, or as Rex Ryan famously said, a g**d*** snack.
“We’ve already seen that movie,” said linebacker Bart Scott.
Still, Scott and other Jets said being the subject of the most recent “Hard Knocks” in 2010 was a good experience, and Scott even said it benefited the team when it came to attracting free agents.

- Jets sign third-round LB Davis
The Jets signed third-round pick Demario Davis, a linebacker from Arkansas State, a source confirmed Thursday night. He signed a four-year contract for about $2.8 million.
Davis, the 77th overall pick, could contribute immediately in sub packages on passing downs. The Jets’ only unsigned pick is seventh-round WR Jordan White, who missed Thursday’s OTA practice with a foot injury.
The Daily News reported the Davis signing.

- Video: Rex’s take on Tebow
Rex Ryan stopped by The Michael Kay Show to give his early impressions of Jets new backup quarterback, Tim Tebow. - OTA observations: Coples, Hill shine
Thoughts on the Jets’ second OTA session open to the media:
1. For those who need their quarterback fix, here you go: Mark Sanchez was 7-for-14 in team drills, including an unsuccessful two-minute drill at the end of practice. Tim Tebow was 1-for-4, including a 50-yard bomb to WR Stephen Hill. Neither quarterback had an interception. In 7-on-7 drills (in the red zone), Sanchez was 5-for-6, with two TDs; Tebow was 4-for-5, with one TD. The bottom line is, neither quarterback shined.
- Holmes, Landry absent at OTAs
WR Santonio Holmes missed his fourth straight OTA practice Thursday because he still was on a good-will trip to Germany to meet with U.S. troops, according to the Jets. Holmes left last Thursday for Germany.
S LaRon Landry, a key free-agent acquisition, has missed all six OTA sessions. In his case, the Jets didn’t offer an explanation, except to emphasize that the workouts are voluntary. Landry still is rehabbing an Achilles-tendon injury from last season, so that explains why he can’t participate on the field.
- Rex: Sanchez has ‘all the answers’
Neither Mark Sanchez nor Tim Tebow had an exceptional day on the field Thursday, the second OTA session open to the media, but Sanchez continued to light it up in the classroom, according to Rex Ryan and Tony Sparano.
Both coaches praised Sanchez’s work ethic and ability to learn the new offense. In fact, Sparano called him the hardest-working player on offense, which he expects from his starting QB. Ryan said Sanchez exudes leadership in the classroom, claiming that Tebow’s larger-than-life presence has had no negative impact on his No.
- Defensive Line Personnel Offers Versatility
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Versatile. It’s one of the best compliments that can be handed out to a player. If you ask a coach what they look for in a player, you’ll usually hear that word used multiple times. Looking ahead to the 2012 season, head coach Rex Ryan has a defensive line that is [...]
- Ryan wants Mangold to go to London
Rex Ryan is going to try to change Nick Mangold’s mind.
Initially, the Jets coach gave the center permission to go to London and watch his sister Holley compete in the Olympics for the U.S. weightlifting team. He approached Mangold with a simple message.
“Hey, look I know how important this season is, this game is, our football team is,” Ryan said, “but there’s other things that are equally as important, maybe more important in the big-picture thing.
