I also played/coached there with the cousin of guy who will contend for #39. On 8/1/2024 at 10:36 AM, Lith said: Day 39. Tough day for the Countdown - not many options. But there is never a bad day to relive Tom Brady throwing a pick 6 to Antonio Allen in a Jets win. That wasn't him On 8/1/2024 at 10:45 AM, Dcat said: Nope.

Lith Posted August 18 Author Share Posted August 18 He may not have been the best player to wear #22 for the Jets, but he is the only one to have intercepted a pass in the Super Bowl while wearing #22. Day 22. Jim Hudson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lith Posted August 22 Author Share Posted August 22 Day 18. Another tough day for the Countdown. Not putting Mike Williams in the countdown until he plays a regular season game for us. Does not leave me with many options: a back-up QB who played 50 years ago and a bunch of more recent WRs who never did much for the Jets. Back-up QB gets the nod: Al Woodall.

Lith Posted August 23 Author Share Posted August 23 Day 17. Braylon Edwards. I believe this is after the playoff victory against the Colts. Braylon did another backflip the following week after the win in New England. I chose the one after the Colts game because I travelled to Indy for that one. Sadly, there was no backflip after the Championship Game in Pitt -- I travelled to that one too. Much different drive home from Pittsburgh than from Indy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playtowinthegame Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Day 16 - Vinny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lith Posted August 24 Author Share Posted August 24 Vinny was the choice for today, but since @playtowinthegame got in ahead of me, had to pivot to another #16 who also was a fan favorite. Brad Smith. One of my favorite moments was when he ran out of his shoe while returning a kick for a TD against the Bengals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lith Posted August 25 Author Share Posted August 25 Brandon Marshall would have been the obvious choice for today, but I am going with a different and much more obscure option for today. Sept 11, 1960, the Titans are playing the first game in franchise history. They are leading the Bills 20-7 after two rushing touchdowns by starting QB Al Dorow. In the 4th quarter, back-up QB, Dick Jamieson would put the game out of reach with a 13 yard TD pass to Art Powell. Today's spot in the Countdown goes to the first player to throw a TD pass in NY Titan/Jet history. #15, Dick Jamieson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for day 14, Todd would have been my pick. The memory that stick out most to me though did not involve Wesley. IT was Todd's last second TD pass to Jerome Barkum to beat the Dolphins 16-15 to move into a first place tie with the Phins toward the end of the '81 season. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. But I did read Joe's autobiography a few years ago. It is hard to picture Namath as mobile, but it sounds like he moved pretty well at Alabama. Would have loved to see how his career would played out if he stayed healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lith Posted August 31 Author Share Posted August 31 Not many options for day 9, so I decided to go with the only player ever to play for the Jets who graduated from my High School. I am also pretty sure he is the only NFL player who was also bar mitzvah'd by my Rabbi. Day 9. Oceanside High School graduate.
