.. and now, please cross him out.
The new Jets offensive lineman arrived too late to appear on the official flip card (which is the roster we use in the press box) so they made an announcement asking us to write him in. A moment later they called out the inactives, and Montgomery was among them. Ah, the peaks and valleys of an NFL lineman. Zach Thomas, already listed as OUT for the game, is indeed, out.
Other inactives for the Jets are QB Marques Tuaisosopo (3rd QB), S Abram Elam, LB Cody Spencer, DE Mike DeVito, G Jacob Bender, TE James Pociask, and TE Sean Ryan.
Spencer, who made his mark here last year on special teams, is out for the second straight game. Kinda odd since the Jets are having so much kickoff coverage trouble. If he can't help that unit, maybe his tenure here is limited. If Matt Chatham comes off PUP, it could be time to say farewell to Cody.
And TE Joe Kowalewski is active. I'm sure the Syracuse product had some good shots to take at Kerry Rhodes, a Louisville grad.
Jets are wearing green over white.
Oh, and Chad is starting.

Someone start a petition to fire Bob Sutton. Our defense is a joke to put it nicely!!!
What defense?
It's not Bob Sutton's fault that Tannenbaum's only attempt to upgrade the team's biggest weakness in the offseason was to sign a backup (K. Coleman) for $20 million. We still have not replaced John Abraham - two years later. That is on the front office.
On pass plays it seems like the secondary is frequently out of position. The defense also looks like it forgot how to tackle.
That's the way it seemed at the game today.
We did get a sack and an INT though.
Bowens was a free agent signing also. Where has he been? Vilma missed a couple of tackles yesterday and David Harris looked pretty good on the field.
Has anyone seen Dewayne Robertson?
So, Jet fans who love Mangini are ready to throw Sutton under the bus. They are the first ones to accuse Herm Edwards of throwing assistant coaches under the bus. Mangini is responsible for the defense after all he is a defensive genius right?
RAJ,
Why don't you post some comments on your own team's blogs'.
The worst comments always come from non-Jets fans.
Can anyone explain the rationale behind placing eight players on the inactive roster each week?
These players are being paid big bucks to be inactive and the whole concept seems wasteful and ludicrous to me.
