This Week 'Very Exciting' for Justin Miller

File Under: Darrelle Revis, Eric Mangini, Justin Miller, Laveranues Coles, David Barrett, Hank Poteat, Andre Dyson, Derrick Strait, Deion Sanders

Justin Miller was in a playful mood — he rarely isn't — after Thursday's OTA practice, when he was surrounded by more reporters than since his Game 2 injury last September.

I asked him if one play he was in on that day, the end zone pass from Chad Pennington that Laveranues Coles couldn't hold, was kind of a significant play, indicative of his first reps with the Jets in a long time.

There will be no games played this weekend, but there are two very important Jets events on the slate.

On Saturday, Eric Mangini will host his seventh annual charity football camp in his hometown of Hartford, Conn. Mangini says he’s anticipating 800 kids, representing about 35 different towns, and 128 coaches.

The Jets' 37-year-old head coach attended Bulkeley HS and will return there tomorrow… More

Due to the press of business, I'm combining today's Radar reports on head coach Eric Mangini's news conference and the OTA practice that followed and just concluded. Practice first.

It was another sunny, blue-skied, cool, breezy day on Long Island, a weather report underscored by the musical choice by Brian Mulligan — I like to call him Dr. Bré — of U2's "Beautiful Day" blaring out of the loudspe… More

J-Co, Safeties Make Some Plays at OTA

File Under: Chad Pennington, Jerricho Cotchery, Kellen Clemens, Kerry Rhodes, Brett Ratliff, Abram Elam, Bubba Franks

In cool breezes under blue skies, the quarterbacks were on display as usual at today's OTA practice, but it was also a session for Jerricho Cotchery and the safeties to put on some moves.

Cotchery first came into the picture during 7-on-7s when he seemed to juggle a nice throw from Kellen Clemens. The juggle enabled Kerry Rhodes to close the gap and forcefully dislodge the ball for an incompleti… More

Vernon Still Can't Report, but Musa Does

File Under: Eric Mangini, Nick Mangold, Chris Baker, Vernon Gholston, Musa Smith, Rosevelt Colvin

The biggest news out of head coach Eric Mangini's news conference this morning was that top draft pick Vernon Gholston is still more than a week away from being permitted by NFL rules to report to the Jets.

"The first day Vernon's going to be allowed to be here is June 6," Mangini said. "The thing we can control is calling him, getting him information, reviewing the information. We have a pretty … More
