Wasn't sure the thread was going to make it before gametime. How much should we expect the starters to play tonight?

Disappointed. Expected the textiest gameday thread ever.

That said, Gary Myers is a douche bag. 1029 days since Plaxico last played a game. How many hours, Gary? Seconds? How many Mercury years is that?

Zero . Maybe one or 2 might see a little action but thats about it

Wilkerson may see some extended time. They might send Moore out there on the OL. All the special teams specialists. Not much beyond that.

[JetsFanFromQueens]

Hopefully we don't play any of our starters. Lets head into the regular season as fresh as possible. Turn it up against the Cowboys and never look back. With all that said, I still hope to see the Jets (backups) put on a performance.

My kingdom will be open for all those who want to chat about the game.

That's not what he ******* said. First he said 1029 games. When Otis looked at him he started stuttering and said days.

This new stadium announcer sucks.

[JetsFanFromQueens]

Oh yeah baby... We're about to see PLENTY of Kerley and Wilkerson tonight!

Brad Smith was replaced the second we drafted Kerley out of TCU, and I'm loving each and every moment of it. Also excited to see Wilkerson tonight. Hopefully he can impact/beast against Philly backups. Looks like Kyle Wilson is also playing tonight. Another kid who I really like.

[Maxman]

The announcer just called the eagles kicker chris henry...instead of alex henry. Wow.

[ylekram]

bad play by westerman. outside asignment, went inside. good hustle from maybin. i think he is a lock for the roster

[Vudu]

Westerman has regressed or maybe he just wasnt that good in the first place

[Matt39]

Wilson still has no idea how to play the ball. Unforunately that's a Goodell rule now. Cant hit the WR anymore like that.

[JetsFanFromQueens]

What a HIT by Pool. What a BS call though. One thing is for sure, Pool can hit, he's also looking healthy!

[visajets]

This game sucks

[JetsFanInDenver]

Still at work not getting to watch the game. But looking at the box score looks like so far we its been fugly!

[JetsFanFromQueens]

This game sucks

We're down 7-0, got dominated, but I still enjoyed that 1st quarter watching our young players such as Greg McElroy, Joe McKnight, Jeremy Kerley, Jeff Cumberland, Vladimir Ducasse, Muhammad Wilkerson, Kenrick Ellis and Kyle Wilson. Now we're seeing some of Bilal Powell here in the 2nd quarter, and damn does T.J. Conley have a boot for a leg. I don't know, preseason games or not, I've always been a fan of watching our young players develope/improve.

[JetsFanFromQueens]

Drew Willy to the white McKnight for a TD aha, great to see McKnight making plays though. I've never heard of a 7th rounder get as much hype as S.McKnight did during training camp. Hopefully he makes the team, great throw and catch.

[Blackout]

call me when the regular season starts

zzzzzzzzzzzzz.......

What happened to McIlroy?

[JoeWillie]

What happened to McIlroy?

Hurt his thumb on a helmet making a throw.

[NYJets90]

and down goes Young

[Larz]

totally pumped the power came back on in time for the game

not

[JetsFanFromQueens]

Vince Young looks like he just pulled a hammy.

[NYJets90]

Vlad blows

[aec4]

Hurt his thumb on a helmet making a throw.

was out to dinner with the family and missed it.

[JetsFanFromQueens]

Not only does Kerley look extremely quick, as expected, but he also looks FAST! One thing is for sure, McKnight and Kerley bring much needed speed/explosiveness to our offense. On a side note, Vlad is lost as a RT. He looks absolutely atrocious out there in pass protection. And I'll tell you what, Jeff Cumberland is something in the making.

[JetsFanFromQueens]

I may hate the Patriots with a passion, but I loved (feared) what they did with both rookie TE's in Hernandez and Gronk last season, so much so, where I made sure to draft Gronkowski last night during my fantasy draft. We all know what we have in Keller, which is a very good pass catching TE, but Jeff Cumberland has impressed as well. He's been one of, if not the most productive pass catching TE during this year's preseason. Hopefully we'll see both Keller and Cumberland used in the same types of ways that the Patriots were able to use Gronk and Hernandez last season. One thing is for sure, for being 6'4, Cumberland is very fast with solid hands. 40 times may be overrated, but it's nice to know we have a 6'4 TE who runs the 40 time in 4.5 seconds.

News reports Mac dislocated thumb and broke a bone.

Ugh. Not good. Drew Willy as the #3? Or do the Jets hit the waiver wire?

[SMC]

Jets have to sign a vet QB. Maybe Clemens gets cut

[JetsFanFromQueens]

If the Jets were going to depend on a 3rd string rookie quarterback this up coming season, our season was over to begin with.

Touchdown David Clowney!
