D.T. on DBs: Secondary coach Dennis Thurman spoke to reporters. A few highlights:

• He loves the potential of his unit: "Without question, this is the most physically talented secondary we've had since we've been here. If things pan out, we could be scary."

• Thurman believes safety LaRon Landry, who skipped most of the offseason program, to be caught up mentally by the time he gets through training camp: "I don't expect him to have any problems."

• Thurman praised sixth-round pick Josh Bush, saying he's currently the No. 4 safety. Ellis Lankster is running as the No. 4 corner.

INJURY REPORT: WR Santonio Holmes (hamstring), WR Stephen Hill (hamstring), WR Patrick Turner (hamstring) and DE Marcus Dixon (calf) didn't take part in team drills. Holmes and Hill looked fine in positional drills.

THIS AND THAT: A crowd of 1,500 turned out for the public practice. One of the fans, reportedly named Phil, was detained for attacking a hot dog vendor. No one was hurt, but the vendor had this to say, "I have never seen someone so passionate about hot dogs! The Jets could end their Super Bowl drought if they could get their players to play with the kind of passion that this guy has for wieners."
