Smizzy Posted July 12, 2005 Author Share Posted July 12, 2005 Hanging with a new and improved Chad By Adam Schefter Special to NFL.com (July 11, 2005) -- Questions about Jets quarterback Chad Pennington's surgically repaired shoulder are starting to disappear, right along with whatever days off players have before training camp begins. Over the past couple of weeks, Pennington has been consistently throwing the football 30 yards without any problems. Those who have seen him say that Pennington looks sharp, and though his workload likely will be scaled back during training camp, he will be ready when his teammates report on July 29. At this point, there is no doubt that Pennington will be ready for the Chiefs in Kansas City for the season opener on Sept. 11. Further proving Pennington's readiness and anxiousness for the start of camp are the actions he has taken. This month, Pennington arranged for each of his top four wide receivers -- Laveranues Coles, Justin McCareins, Jerricho Cotchery and Wayne Chrebet -- to travel to Sarasota, Fla., for extended workouts together. The quarterback and receivers have been spending time getting their timing down, learning the Jets' new offense, and trying to get as far ahead as they can with training camp just over two weeks away. If Pennington wasn't healthy enough, he never would have booked the trip. But Pennington has turned up the heat on himself in preparation for what awaits him this summer on Long Island. The Jet that really feels invigorated this offseason is not Pennington, but Chrebet, who believes he can ring up a Pro Bowl-type season. Chrebet feels so healthy, so fresh, so excited about the new offense that he now is expecting numbers more in line with the ones he put up during the 2002 season, when he caught 51 passes for 691 yards and nine touchdowns. What's interesting about this is, after last season when Chrebet suffered the latest in a series of concussions, some people speculated that the wide receiver would retire. But Chrebet, who turns 32 next month, didn't. Instead, he is returning for his 11th NFL season with all the excitement of his first. If he can avoid another concussion, Chrebet will be a factor again in the Jets offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, on 3rd and 10, they won't be calling for the draw play anymore. They may look to Chrebet, like in the pre-Hackett days. Chrebet's numbers would improve by 500%.

Chrebet's numbers would improve by 500%. u miss my point, years ago tha twas true. u do not recover from the syndrome he has. he gets hit there again, which he will, its over again, aka Aikman at the end etc...a receiver WILL get hit and he will go down again. we can not count on him AT ALL..Medical 101...

I hear ya. This is probably Chrebet's last year, and he's just excited to be in a more pass-happy Offense. I think he should hang them up, though. I don't want him to become a vegetable.

GimmeShelter Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Nice update Smizzy. Point to remember on Pennington is that besides thee Rotator cuff he also hurt his shoulder as far back as training camp 2001. That 2001 injury I believe grew progressively worse allowing defenses to not have to scheme for certain type throws as TX has pointed out to no end. Hopefully we see the 2002 version of Pennington or better, the arm strength he had at Marshall. I too believe Chrebet is a factor in the new offense barring the hit Southern mentions.

This is GREAT news. I'm happy to hear this, because times last year, Chad and his WRs had no feel for each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatsFanTX Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 This is GREAT news. I'm happy to hear this, because times last year, Chad and his WRs had no feel for each other. I'm surprised that he didn't fly down Martin and Sowell as well. But then again, he's got his timing down with those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah..Chad will throw to them like he threw to his WR's last year. Which is not much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good one tx I'm kinda surprised he didn't bring now his new TE, Doug Jolley. They could definetly use the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionelRichie Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 if there is any truth to this article than for the first time since the surgery i actually believe chad may be the QB this year. 30-yds is still not going to get it done in the NFL, i really hope he has a big year.
