He is a small, shifty guy who looked very good out of the slot. However, at least he knows the offense and has some recent starting experience. If Allison can win the kick return job, than he will obvious stick as the #5. Apparently, neither Kellen Clemens or Erik Ainge was impressive during OTAs. It will be interesting to see how much of a shot Matt Slauson really has at winning the job.

The. Jets quarterback Erik Ainge is retiring from football, Dennis Waszak of The Associated Press reports. Brad Smith – For five to ten plays a game, Smith is great as a quarterback on gimmick plays. Edwards wasn’t helped by horrific quarterbacking but also developed a nasty case of the drops, which he is still working on shaking off. His future with the Jets is uncertain. It is a waste of a roster spot. 1. Erik Ainge said this. Yet, in reality he is a better option than anybody else the Jets are currently considering to backup Sanchez.

You are really going to cut ties with Clemens and let this 39 year old guy be one snap away from playing? Ainge doesn’t throw a pretty ball but he has good size and is familiar with the offense. Matt Slauson was back to working as the starting left guard. The great off-season Braylon Edwards is having. When the Jets go to three wide, Cotchery primarily works out of the slot. Obviously, the validity of that claim and generally all his claims could be questioned considering he is in Washington’s camp but it is still worth a read. Kyle Wilson getting his first interception of camp, when he picked off a Mark Brunell pass headed towards David Clowney. Why not keep another defensive back, defensive lineman, or receiver who could potentially contribute? Potential Additions – Veteran Left Guard – If Ducasse and Slauson struggle in camp, don’t be shocked if the Jets look to add a veteran guard. New England’s offense just doesn’t scare me without Wes Welker out there and they still have question marks on their defense. Nobody has hated on Taylor more than me, but I give him credit for taking his time and signing every single person’s autograph and taking about 35 pictures. If Ainge or O’Connell don’t step up in training camp, this idea makes plenty of sense. Nobody in the Philadelphia appreciates how productive and how many winning seasons that guy has brought them. Needless to say, every Jets fan would sign up for those numbers from Taylor in a heartbeat. However, Braylon was being sent in motion frequently. You have to wonder how many reps Erik Ainge and Kevin O’Connell will get during OTAs with the first team offense. He spent time dealing with a hip injury and struggled in San Diego’s zone scheme.

He could also add another defensive player to the 53 man roster after week 4 when Holmes comes back and the Jets likely demote one of their receivers to practice squad or release them. For five to ten plays a game, Smith is great as a quarterback on gimmick plays. The Jets went from 8-3 to missing the playoffs. Mark Brunell was picked off by Kyle Wilson. Like any team in the NFL, they have multiple areas of concern throughout their roster heading into the 2010 season. I know Giants fans will be thrilled to see McNabb leave since he has owned them the past two years…Dez Bryant had a rough workout for scouts yesterday, hopefully enough teams will be dumb enough to pass on him to allow him to get within range for a reasonable trade for the Jets, and Bryant will be in “pissed off Randy Moss rookie year” mode about falling so far for our offense next year. Santonio Holmes probably didn’t make many people in the organization happy when he said he didn’t want a Super Bowl to be played at the Meadowlands. The final week of LOST is under way and the real question is now what show should I start watching when it is over. Second Year Players – It was good to hear Sanchez was participating in some drills this week…any time spent with the offense is valuable. Revis Update – In an interview yesterday, Peter King of SI said he believed Revis had more leverage than the Jets and that a deal wouldn’t be finalized until around Labor Day. The potential of Jerricho Cotchery in the slot. The decision to trade Leon Washington is going to increase LaDainian Tomlinson’s reps on the Jets offense, especially if Joe McKnight can’t get his feet under him in the early part of the season. “Found out i have a torn rotator cuff in my right shoulder today,” wrote Ainge. 4.

He suffered a left knee injury. Follow Turn On The Jets on Facebook and Twitter (TurnOnTheJets)…There is no logical reason for you not to do it. What the hell is the deal with this guy?

I’d annoy everybody about following Turn On The Jets on Facebook but we jumped from 315 fans to 348 fans in the last 24 hours…well done. I also don’t doubt if he can do those three things, he won’t duplicate the number of yards Jones had rushing in 2009, although I doubt he comes near the 14 touchdowns because Tomlinson will be taking away goal-line carries. Smith actually had a few nice throws, including hitting a deep in route to Marcus Henry. Who is Erik Ainge? ! Yes, I am already missing Leon Washington. Some other loose-end observations: Dwight Lowery was particularly active and had some nice pass break-ups…John Conner is quicker than I expected…Joe McKnight looked like he is going to be a serious weapon out of the slot…Brian Schottenheimer is loud…Nick Mangold got some reps at safety against the second offense and had a few nice blitzes off the edge…Braylon Edwards beard is nasty looking but Edwards was the most impressive offensive player on the field by a good margin. I wouldn’t expect the Jets to carry four quarterbacks for the second year in a row. I think most people assumed the Jets would have Brad Smith, Kyle Wilson, and Joe McKnight battle for that job but Cromartie is obviously an explosive player with the ball in his hands.
