-The Jets have made a miraculous discovery over the last three weeks. Defense! They've learned that if you make the system fit the players and the other way around, defensive stops are a possibility. (Daily News)

-Jets lose Ward a couple years ago, now practice squad gem (seriously) Danny Ware heads to the Giants..expect to see him in action real soon real soon. (NorthJersey.com)

EXTRA EXTRA:
There's talk that Buccaneer's Defensive Coordinator Monte Kiffin might want to join his son, Head Coach Lane Kiffin in Oakland after this season since his Tampa Bay contract will be up. Why does this matter to us NY sport enthusiasts? it means there is a great possibility current Oakland Defensive coordinator Rob Ryan will join good friend Mangini ( They worked in New England together. I wrote an article that touches on this a while back, I'll look to re post it later) with the Jets. I'd love this move.
