One QB question in NY already answered, we should soon know the definitive answer to the other: Kid Kellen or Comeback Chad?
Pennington was on the field around noon today, doing some footwork drills, testing out the ankle. About an hour later, Kellen Clemens was on the bench. No, not for the game, just for warm-ups. He was so pumped up for the game that he was on the field before the equipment made it out and he had to sit on the bench until the bag filled with footballs made its way to the sideline. After that he plucked a keeper from the bunch and started throwing with Brad Smith and Leon Washington.
Nice set-up in Baltimore. Very purple. They have the early games up on the jumbo screens at each end zone so we can watch the Steelers game and the Bengals game. Nice for me since I have the Pitt defense and Carson Palmer in my fantasy league. And so far I’m happy with both.
Inactives will be announced soon and I’ll post them here.
Jets are wearing white over white.
Glauber is here today. We’ll have to come to a consensus on what to wear to our big Newsday Insider show on Wednesday. To quote the great American philosopher Homer Simpson, “I’m gonna get a light blue tuxedo with the biggest ruffles and platform shoes that I can find!”
***UPDATE: Jets just announced their inactives. Pennington and Clemens are both active, which means that Chad can play if needed (or decided). Officially, no decision on the starter has been made. Marques Tuiasosopo is the 3rd QB and the other inactives for the Jets are Abram Elam, Drew Coleman, Joe Kowalewski, Cody Spencer, Mike DeVito, Jacob Bender and Jason Pociask.
