JetNation Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 The Jets held training camp practice at their facility in Florham Park today here’s a recap of what went on: The news of the day was given by Coach Rex Ryan in his pre-practice press conference that Austin Howard would be taking the starting right tackle position from the embattled Wayne Hunter. Coach Ryan said Hunter would be used as more of a “sixth” man on the line, extra jumbo blocking tight end, like he had done in the past: “I want Wayne in this (sixth man) role, it’s a valuable role that we’ve had,” Ryan said. He told Wayne this morning. #Jets — Conor Orr (@ConorTOrr) August 23, 2012 Rex now declares Austin Howard new RT. Wayne Hunter will now be a “sixth man” again #nyj — Kimberley A.

Everyone knows. The whole NYC knows I was struggling. I was waiting for it, to be honest” — Manish Mehta(@MMehtaNYDN) August 23, 2012 Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow were limited in their throws today: Jets did most of practice off cards vs. scout team.

T0mShane Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Always the critic, no? I'm doing my part to preserve the JN brand. Many of the people Max wants to attract from social media, these threads are their first impression of the site. I'm a change agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
