They are finally wising up. New staff, new offensive system and singular focus cannot hurt.
There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

Quite possibly the most insignificant news of the off-season, considering they already turned it down once already.

NEW YORK (AP) -- There will be no summer sequel for the Jets on "Hard Knocks" this season.
A person familiar with the decision said the team decided to not participate in the hit HBO show this year after being approached by the cable network about appearing again.
Rex Ryan, Mark Sanchez & Co. were big stars and drew huge ratings two years ago - the last time the show aired - but the Jets opted to pass on doing it again this summer, the person told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Friday because neither the team nor the cable network had announced the decision.
The Atlanta Falcons have also turned down the chance at appearing on the show this season.
The arrival of Tim Tebow and the dynamic between him and Sanchez would have made for intriguing television, but the person said the Jets' decision stemmed from having a new offensive coordinator, Tony Sparano, who is installing a new system. The team used similar reasoning for turning down the show in 2009, Ryan's first season as head coach, in trying to limit distractions during training camp.
The person says, however, that the Jets would be open to appearing on a future season of "Hard Knocks."
Ryan, owner Woody Johnson and general manager Mike Tannenbaum all praised HBO and NFL Films for the way they handled filming their training camp in Cortland, N.Y., in 2010. Many of the players said they even forgot the cameras were there most of the time. But Ryan and Tannenbaum also expressed reservations this offseason about doing it this year, particularly with the team missing the playoffs last season and dealing with some locker room tension.
The team has been tightlipped so far on how it will use Tebow, the versatile backup quarterback, in the offense, so keeping those plans under wraps might have also played a role in the overall decision.

the less the league knows about Tebow's wildcat, the better for the Jets

The selfish side of me is disappointed. It was a lot of fun last time. It would have been great this year with all the drama.
The football side knows it's a good idea to pass. Rex brings them up to Cortland to take the pressure off and to bond a bit. The first time Hard Knocks was with them it was Good Times, and Rex was all the rage. Not so much now.
Woody wanted to do it, Rex, and Mike T didn't. I'm glad the football side won

I disagree. This is huge news because it means that Rex got his way. Instead of Woody getting his way.
This puts the circus one step closer to being under control.

No it doesn't. The whole "Woody wanting HBO and Rex not" banter fans have been carrying on about is purely an extrapolated rumor. From what I understand there was never a moment where Woody told anyone in the press he wanted to do HBO again, it was pure conjecture by the sports tabloids writers.
