Banks on the NY Jets

Postcard

I love this quote:
"... newly acquired running back Thomas Jones is perfect for the Jets offense. I still don't know how Chicago gave him up in (a) trade for the modest price of flopping second-round picks with New York... Jones is going to put up some numbers in New York this season, and the Jets are going to ride his strong shoulders a long way."

Ok, I'll admit that I skimmed the article looking specifically for a quote about Thomas Jones, but it doesn't take away from the fact that Don Banks has exactly the same opinion as me on Jones - he's going to be big for the Jets and, extrapolating some, his loss is going to hurt the Bears. (On a side note, the chatter I've been hearing about the Bears in the national media is completely ignoring the loss of Thomas Jones, instead focusing on Greg Olsen and Devin Hester. Big mistake).

I love the story about Mangini playing classical music at camp. I have yet to hear a quote from players and how they're taking to it.

The only other thing I'll say is that Chad Pennington had better stay healthy.
