07/30 — Perhaps the Jets' defenders had heard enough about Chad Pennington's aerial assault on Sunday because the tables were turned Monday.  Bob Sutton's unit carried the play in the Green & White's only workout of the day.

Along the line, rookie Jason Trusnik, a 6'4", 250-pound undrafted free agent, displayed his pass rushing skills against D'Brickashaw Ferguson.  Trusnik, a two-time Division III All-American at Ohio Northern who racked up 43 career sacks, has quietly had a nice camp.

During team drills, Pennington attempted to drop a short ball to Jerricho Cotchery.  But cornerback David Barrett popped into the screen out of nowhere and returned a pick down the sideline.  Then Pennington tried to throw quickly to Laveranues Coles on a short route but Barrett sat on it and knocked the ball away.

Rookie linebacker David Harris also recorded a takeaway as practice reached an end.  In a two-minute drill, Kellen Clemens threw a Hail Mary after he rolled to his right to avoid defenders.  Lineman Wade Smith originally snapped the ball way over the signal caller's head but Clemens corralled it, ran for a couple of seconds, and unleashed a heave.  After a tip in the end zone, Harris had his big paws wrapped around the pigskin.

The offense did make a few high-quality plays.  Clemens threw a rocket to Brad Smith in team drills as the Jets' versatile weapon crossed the middle of the field.  The gain covered about 20 yards, but Smith never had to break stride on the textbook pitch and catch. 

Leon Washington, last season's leading rusher, gave fans a reminder of his long gainer in Miami when he took a short dump pass from Pennington and just exploded.  Washington always has the ability to make something out of nothing and that's a luxury.  Rookie wideout Jesse Pellot-Rosa, who averaged 13.3 points per game at Virginia Commonwealth last season, returned to action.

And it's always good to see Ben Graham nailing punts 60+plus yards as he did today.  The Thunder from Down Under continues to be a weapon. 

On the crowd front, the Jets got a replacement generator up and running for both Jets Fest and their sound system.  But for the most part, Brian Mulligan had a very light day.
