Thu, 3 Aug 2006 14:28:39 -0700

<A href="http://www.kffl.com/team/27/nfl">New York Jets WR Jerricho Cotchery has made an improved transition from the offseason to training camp, according to Jets head coach Eric Mangini. "I think Jerricho has done a pretty good job," said Cotchery. "He had some hiccups there where he put the ball on the ground a couple of times, which we talked about. Besides that, he's done well and Jerricho, when we used to face him, was a physical guy. He's a tough, physical guy and he gives you a presence in running games that I really like."

Jets | Coleman not progressing quickly

Thu, 3 Aug 2006 14:27:25 -0700

<A href="http://www.kffl.com/team/27/nfl">New York Jets FS Erik Coleman (flu) has nearly missed a week of practice, which has Jets head coach Eric Mangini a little concerned. "It's one of those things where we thought it was making progress and he didn't make the progress we hoped for, but we're doing everything we can there," said Mangini. "He's got an illness."

Jets | Newhouse making an impression

Thu, 3 Aug 2006 14:27:24 -0700

<A href="http://www.kffl.com/team/27/nfl">New York Jets head coach Eric Mangini feels that WR Reggie Newhouse is doing a solid job so far in training camp. "It started when we first got him. He made a couple of difficult catches where you open your eyes and say, "Okay, we need to spend a little more time looking at this." That's carried over and it has shown up on tape. It's positive. The challenge for him, and really for that group, is to learn exactly where they line up, where they fit, where they break the routes, what the adjustments are and there are a lot of adjustments. A lot of time will be spent understanding those that he can keep making the catches he has made."

Jets | Ramsey having control problems

Thu, 3 Aug 2006 14:27:04 -0700

<A href="http://www.kffl.com/team/27/nfl">New York Jets QB Patrick Ramsey had some "glitches" with his control during practice Thursday, Aug. 3, according to Jets head coach Eric Mangini. "The reason that we are trying to simulate this right now is to get the mechanics because those mechanics aren't just something that you can roll and do," said Mangini. "It's very specific and the awareness of where you are, what you're trying to do, the amount of time you have to make a decision and the options you have in terms of personnel are all narrow. There are always going to be glitches and what we're trying to do is iron those out. I thought he did a pretty good job with the first situation today. We're going to look at all those glitches and there were plenty of them that we are going to evaluate."

Jets | Mangini keeping track of QB reps

Thu, 3 Aug 2006 14:26:56 -0700

<A href="http://www.kffl.com/team/27/nfl">New York Jets head coach Eric Mangini has been keeping track of the number of repetitions the quarterbacks are receiving in practice. "Each night, I have a report on every, single player on the team, how many reps they got, and every single drill," Mangini said. "We monitor that and the way we may get them the rest may change. It may be an every-other-play situation. We approach it differently to look at different combinations, but overall tracking the total."

Jets | Blaylock improving on running game scheme

Thu, 3 Aug 2006 14:26:23 -0700

<A href="http://www.kffl.com/team/27/nfl">New York Jets head coach Eric Mangini said RB Derrick Blaylock has improved on his role in the running game scheme. "Derrick, with his route-running and some of same things that (RB Cedric Houston) is getting used to, in terms of where he sits in the run-game scheme, where his exact fit and read is, has been good."

Thu, 3 Aug 2006 14:25:48 -0700

<A href="http://www.kffl.com/team/27/nfl">New York Jets head coach Eric Mangini said he has taken notice of RB Leon Washington. "I really like some of things he's done lately," said Washington.

It shows he is paying attention at the meetings and I think he's done a good job in the pickup drills against the linebackers. He's worked on ball security and really making sure that is the priority."

Thu, 3 Aug 2006 14:25:16 -0700

<A href="http://www.kffl.com/team/27/nfl">New York Jets head coach Eric Mangini has noticed rookie WR Brad Smith's ability to consistently make the receptions in practice. "He has done a good job catching the ball," said Mangini. "It's all positive when you can keep showing up on tape doing good things and improving. Improving your releases, the ways you understand coverages, the discipline in your routes. All those things are good steps."
