There’s a lot of optimism in for Gang Green nowadays. Sure, Brett Favre stiffed them last year but after the job Mark Sanchez did, nobody is even thinking about that Wrangler’s spokesperson.

It was another banner offseason for the Jets but at some point, one has to wonder if they are sort of becoming the Washington Redskins east.
This is now the third straight offseason where they are opening up their wallets in free agency, wheeling-and-dealing during the draft and making moves to improve their club via external measures, opposed to from inside.
The new faces this year include troubled wideout Santonio Holmes, beleaguered cornerback Antonio Cromartie and over-the-hill veterans Jason Taylor and LaDainian Tomlinson.
The offense should be interesting to watch as the offensive line cut Alan Faneca, and removed Thomas Jones and Leon Washington from the backfield. Meanwhile, they added Tomlinson and Holmes.
The key to this unit will be Sanchez. He’ll have less speed in the backfield without Washington and he won’t have him as a check-down valve. His receivers look great on paper with Holmes and Braylon Edwards, but both have had troubles on and off the field, and may be just decent – not game-breaking – receivers that we previously believed them to be.
Jones and Washington were always excellent receivers out of the backfield and somebody is going to have to step up as the guy to move the chains. Dustin Keller figures to be that target and he has progressed well in his two years in the NFL.
The lack of speed out of the backfield could really be a bigger problem than most want to admit. The Jets lost a good guard in Faneca and their running backs now are simply between-the-tackle carriers. It’s a fairly basic unit to stuff, which will force the game on Sanchez quite a bit.
There is the hope that fourth-round pick Joe McKnight can offer what Washington provided, but it’s still a curious move for a team to remove Washington when they are aiming for a Championship.
Sanchez made some big throws last year but looking at the overall numbers, they weren’t pretty. Just 12 touchdowns and 20 interceptions won’t get the job done – especially not when there are Super Bowl aspirations. Without a doubt, offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer has some work cut out for him even though most people simply assume this unit is improved.
On defense, the Jets added Cromartie to their secondary, which looks good, but so did the addition of Lito Sheppard a couple of years ago. Sheppard was released this offseason. First-round pick, Kyle Wilson, should be a player right away and they might need him if the sour attitude of Darrelle Revis continues.
On the whole, Rex Ryan will get the most out of this defense but just like the offense, it looks improved on paper but that may not fully be the case on the field.
It’s easy to look at how the Jets played in the playoffs and to expect them to be Super Bowl contenders again. But don’t forget that they had a rough stretch midseason where they lost six of seven games (including bad losses to Oakland, Jacksonville and Buffalo).
Jets 2010 Outlook
They still finished 9-7 overall. The Dolphins and Patriots should be improved and with plenty of pressure on them as they move into the new stadium, the Jets will be one of the more surprising flops of 2010.

Well I hate the Jets but last season it was pretty clear the Patriots are a team in decline. The Jets on the other hand played some horrid games and still put it together in the playoffs. The Pats barely won a large chunk of their games. Ill take the team on the upswing
The so called “over the hill” signings may be exactly what this team needs, some experience from some some talented vets not to mention they have probably the best defense in the league.
This division comes down to who wins the Jets-Patriots game i predict. I think the Jets win division by 1 game
