Pre-Season Game #2 against the Minnesota Vikings

Pre-Season Game #2 against the Minnesota Vikings

· C. Pennington looked terrible! He threw 2 terrible interceptions that were both returned for TDs. On the 1^st he was pressured up the middle and threw a floater off his back foot – the safety had plenty of time to jump the route. On the 2^nd ???

· WR L. Coles was injured, but returned to the game – he was noticeably limping after the injury

· The run defense again looked bad as the Vikings pounded the ball up the middle for a TD – the rookie A. Peterson ran 5 times for 57 yards. CHECK the Video – Déjà vu anyone?

· The Minnesota Vikings intercepted 2 C. Pennington passes for TDs – both plays were horrendous throws by C. Pennington.

· There are disturbing patterns emerging – the defense can’t stop the run and the QB can’t throw the fucking ball!

· WR Justin McCareins made a nice catch and run for a TD – K. Clemens threw the out route pass and McCareins did the rest! That was a surprise – McCareins is not known as a yards after the catch WR.

Rumor - Jets interested in RB C. Dillon

Rumor - Jets interested in RB C. Dillon
If Dillon is healthy this is a no-brainer. The injury to starting RB T. Jones is very tough to predict.
If true, the rumored interest in Dillon is an indicator of concern about the nature of the injury. The team might be concerned about the risk of intermittent flares that will reduce performance level and possibly result in missed games.
The Jets are wise to be shopping for insurance. L. Washington will break down if forced to be the every down, 20+ carries per game back. C. Dillon may be getting old, but he may have another year left in the tank as a stop-gap RB behind T. Jones. The only other option to acquire a talent superior to Dillon is likely via a trade (Does anyone want LB J. Vilma?).
