Reading material -- Jets' edition

It's shaping up to be a very entertaining NFL season. It sure helps that the Patriots are still putting up 30 points a game. It won't last forever. Just ask Jets fans.

This "reading material" post could find some interesting articles on the Saints finally winning their first game. Or the Falcons and Texans still not having lost a game. But there's just so much good reading on our green neighbors to the south that the rest of the league will have to wait.

• Mark Sanchez is on his way out as New York Jets quarterback. That's the headline on the post by Adam Schein on NFL.com. I figured that headline would be written at some point this year, but I didn't think it would be this soon. How great is that? Schein says Skinny Rex should take a lesson from the benching of ARod by Yankee manager Joe Girardi and send the Sanchise to the bench in favor of Tim Tebow. How great is that? Schein says Sanchez is "inaccurate," "average," and has the "wrong attitude." And Schein begins by saying he used to be a Sanchez backer.
• Also on  NFL.com, Kimberly Jones says that the Jets are already at the point of desperation, so why not throw Tebow out there? It's a good question. She says the Jets are trying trick plays (onside kick against the Texans that didn't quite work out) and using players in different roles due to injuries but they still don't know what to do with Tebow. When asked after the Jets lost their second straight to fall to 2-3 if he understood his role with the team, Tebow answered a simple "no." Doesn't seem anybody in N.Y. does.
• Terrell Owens added to the New York theater scene by tweeting during the Jets' loss Monday night that he was available and better than what they had on the field. Rex Ryan responded, of course, by saying "never say never." As a Pats' fan, I can't think of anything better than T.O. joining the train wreck that could become the Jets' season. As a Jets' fan, Gary Myers of the New York Daily News doesn't think it's such a great idea. 
• For all the attention being given the quarterbacks, not enough has been paid to the defense. That's the defense run by the self-anointed best defensive mind in the league. The Jets defense is ranked  31st against the run, giving up an average of 172 yards per game. Hmmm. The Jets are next to last against the run, the Pats are third in the league in rushing. I can't wait for kickoff at Gillette in just more than a week.
