New York Jets and Miami Dolphins Pre-Season Questions

New York Jets

When will the Jets pay admission to Revis Island?
Darelle Revis, arguably the best corner in the NFL, is disgruntled about his current contract.
Revis wants to be the highest paid corner in the League. If the Jets make the investment, they better hope he remains humble.
Revis held out of workouts with the team, but has said he would not miss any time during training camp.

Will Mark Sanchez take a step of maturity?
To start as a rookie in the NFL after only starting one year in college is impressive in itself. For the team to go to the AFC championship with a rookie is almost unheard of.
If Mark Sanchez can handle the hype, it could be another long season for the AFC East. If Sanchez throws another 20 interceptions, the Jets could be going home early this season.
The new Jets jerseys were a good team with the rookie Mark Sanchez, and they could be a great team with an improved Sanchez. Their success almost directly lies on his shoulders.

Will the Jets regret letting go of Thomas Jones?
For a team that made so many blockbuster moves this offseason, they could regret letting go of their leading rusher.
After letting go of reliable Jones, they signed LaDainian Tomlinson. Last season was Tomlinson's first year not rushing for 1,000 yards in his career.
Comparing Tomlinson and Jones, the Jets lost around 700 rushing yards in this swap.
If Shonn Greene isn't ready to carry the load, they better hope Tomlinson jerseys shows some youth.
Miami Dolphins

Can Ronnie Brown Stay Healthy?
After suffering injuries two of the last three years, Ronnie Brown needs to stay on the field in order to salvage his image for the Dolphins organization.
Brown has all of the tools necessary to be an elite running back in this league, but he also has to prove that on the field, not on injured reserve.
This season will be Brown's last shot to prove he isn't made of glass. If he is injured once again, Miami will have to put the running game on Ricky Williams shoulders.
It will be a sad day if Ronnie Brown has to put on another NFL jersey.

How will the defense produce sacks?
Even though Joey Porter and Jason Taylor booked one way tickets out of town, their ages were becoming a concern to this franchise.
The only sack weapon Miami has as of now is second year player Cameron Wake. Wake tore up the CFL by making disruptive plays in the backfield, but his transition to be an every down outside linebacker has yet to warrant much success.
Rookie Koa Misi was also drafted because of his ability to be a complete linebacker, and Miami hopes these two can top the depth chart after training camp is finished. If they can't, they could have a hard time getting pressure on opposing quarterbacks.

Who will be the Kick/Punt returner?
Even though Ted Ginn Jr. was an explosive returner, he was average at best. Apart from his two touchdown game against the Jets, he made many fans scratch their head when he would avoid a hit and run out of bounds.
After his departure, Miami will have to evaluate several players currently on their roster. None of the potential returners have the true speed that Ginn does, but Miami hopes to find a more consistent option than the spotty Ginn.
Players that could compete for the return job are Kory Sheets, Patrick Cobbs, Davone Bess, and Chad Pennington jersey.

Sack Masters Hungry for a Dozen 2

Trent Cole, Philadelphia Eagles Rent Cole will find himself aiming for his third career 12 sack season.
With the addition of Brandon Graham to the Philadelphia Eagles jerseys defense, Cole should find himself easily on pace for a dozen.
Cole works hard every game to get to the quarterback. He reads offenses well and finds the holes to get to the pocket.
He is a strong tackler on the d-line and has a knack for the ball.
At age 27, he remains a healthy and in his prime. He is a player that Philadelphia can use to their advantage.
The Eagles offense will have question marks, but on the defensive side, Cole will help Andy Reid's defense keep constant pressure on quarterbacks.
Julius Peppers, Chicago Bears
Julius Peppers jerseys enters 2010 with a change of scenery.
Since 2002, Peppers wore the Carolina Panthers jersey. Now, he dons the Chicago Bears logo.
Some believe after cashing in Peppers will fade into obscurity.
That may be the case by the end of the contract, but this season, Peppers will prove his worth.
At age 30, Peppers still has some good years left in him and this will be one of them.
The Chicago scheme and defensive unit should fit him well.
The Bears defense has a lot of skeptics and health will be the primary concern for the unit as a whole, but Peppers knows what needs to be done.
Working with Tommie Harris on the d-line should lead to both players feeding off each other.
Add in a moderately weak schedule and he will have good reason to smile.
Brian Orakpo, Washington Redskins
After a rookie season with 11 sacks, Brian Orakpo is ready to build off those numbers.
The Washington Redskins jerseys had completely different schemes last season, but a shift to 3-4 will only improve Orakpo's numbers.
He is the ideal pass rusher for this style defense and with a more stable coaching staff, the sky is the limit.
Four of his sacks came against the Oakland Raiders, but he displayed solid consistency throughout the season.
Orakpo has a lot of veterans surrounding him and if Albert Haynesworth shows up in shape, he should have plenty of room to roam.
Orakpo faces some weaker teams and has the benefit of a changed scheme to make game planning difficult for opposing offenses early on.
Clay Matthews, Green Bay Packers
Clay Matthews is another young master of the sack.
As his Green Packers team continued to improve last season, so did he.
Matthews finished extremely strong with seven sacks in the last eight games. The Packers went 7-1 in that final stretch.
Matthews improved in all aspects of the game as he earned himself more playing time. His tackling got better and the coaching staff became more confident in how to use him.
The Packers will be more comfortable in the 3-4 scheme and should recreate the defense that appeared in the second half of 2009.
Matthews will leap over the 12 sack total as he gets a full allotment of playing time during the year.
Tamba Hali, Kansas City Chiefs
Tamba Hali would need to take the biggest jump of all on this list to hit the 12 sack mark.
Hali has never had more than the 8.5 sacks he produced last season.
Now a veteran in the 3-4 scheme, Hali will improve even more so upon those numbers.
Hali fits the pass-rush specialist role well and proved it last season. The coaching staff was able to learn the ways he attacks best and will put him in better positions to succeed.
Hali has solid strength as a former defensive end and utilizes his knowledge and vision to take advantage on the field.
A moderate schedule in a weak division should find Hali with the opportunity to break through lines and hit the 12 sack mark in a surprisingly good season.

The most QB in 2010 NFL season

Matt Leinart, Arizona Cardinals jerseys. It's hard to believe, but at one point, Matt Leinart supplanted Kurt Warner as the starting quarterback of the Arizona Cardinals. Seriously - try to wrap your mind around that one. The year was 2006, Leinart was a rookie that missed much of training camp due to a lengthy holdout, Warner wasn't injured, and now-UFL coach Dennis Green was the man behind the decision. Leinart was largely mediocre in leading Arizona to a 4-7 record that season, and ended the season on Injured Reserve.Ken Whisenhunt became Arizona's head coach in 2007, and though he started Leinart at the outset of his first season, by the time Leinart again landed on IR with a fractured collarbone, he'd already been in and out of the lineup in lieu of Warner. The most unlikely possible Hall of Fame story in league history threw for over 3,400 yards and 27 touchdowns in leading Arizona to an 8-8 record that season, and Whisenhunt named Warner the starter entering 2008. The next two seasons were two of the best in franchise history, as the duo of Whisenhunt and Warner led the Cardinals to 19 regular-season wins, two division championships, four playoff victories, and a close, incredibly entertaining four-point loss in Super Bowl XLIII.During that time frame, Leinart rarely saw the field, though he did find time to add four interceptions to his career total (in 106 attempts). Warner has retired from the game of football, and Leinart re-assumes the reigns of the franchise for the coach that benched him three seasons ago. He's 27 years-old, is still surrounded by excellent offensive talent, and must prove not only that he's capable of leading that franchise as the No. 10 overall pick in 2006, but that he can keep the Cardinals from returning to the league cellar after Whisenhunt and new Warner jersey brought them out of the depths. Something of a playboy, Leinart's managed to stay in the public eye thanks to commercials with the Manning family and appearances in feature films, but the real work is only beginning for the former USC star.Jay Cutler, Chicago Bears jerseys. Selected just one spot after Leinart in '06 by Denver, Cutler was the focal point of the single biggest off-season move between 2008 and 2009. Then-rookie head coach Josh McDaniels shipped Cutler out of town after a very public dispute over trade talks involving McDaniels' pet project in New England, Matt Cassel. Cutler was traded for two first-round picks, a third-round pick, and quarterback Kyle Orton.Cutler looked like an up-and-coming elite signal-caller under the tutelage of Mike Shanahan, who coached him for his first three pro seasons in Denver. After supplanting Jake Plummer as Denver's starter during his rookie season, Cutler enjoyed a three-year window in which he passed for over 9,000 yards and 54 touchdowns (with 37 interceptions). The new Broncos jerseys, however, could only manage a .500 record in those three seasons, and after a three-game losing streak to close the 2008 season cost Denver a playoff spot, Shanahan was fired, and Cutler's trade was made a little less than three months later.His first season with Chicago, however, was a disappointment. Cutler still threw for 3,666 yards and 27 touchdowns, but the new Bears jerseys were just 7-9, missed the playoffs for a third consecutive season, and Cutler's 26 interceptions were by far the most in the league (and six more than the 20 that rookies Matthew Stafford and Mark Sanchez each threw).In each of his four professional seasons, Cutler has elevated his touchdown total, with the 27 he threw last year being a career high. His interception totals, however, have also increased on a yearly basis, and as a result, he's been a far less effective player each year he's taken the field as a starter. At age 27, Cutler is still in his prime, but players that are supposed to be elite signal-callers would be pushing it by throwing half the number of interceptions Cutler threw in 2009. His decision-making remains suspect, and until he can cut down the mistakes and prove to be a better leader, Chicago will have trouble competing in an NFC North division that looks to be excellent over the long haul.
