Former NFL defensive lineman Trevor Pryce is a big dude. 6 foot 5 to be exact. Battle tested gridiron warriors that possess his size aren’t afraid of many things. However, there is an animal out there that Pryce doesn’t particularly care for: the bullfrog.

111-Day New York Jets Warning – Underrated Jeremy Kerley
Here at Turn On The Jets, we decided to take a page out of Robert Mays book over at Grantland (a polite way of saying rip his article idea off) by counting down the 115 days until the New York Jets kick off, with a daily reason to get excited about their return. Mays has the whole NFL to work with, we only have the Goddamn Jets…now there is a challenge, step your game up Mays...
WR Zach Rogers Spotlight: Mobile, Great Hands
Zach Rogers is an UDFA (Undrafted Free Agent) wide receiver signee, coming out of the University of Tennessee. Rogers landed onto the Jets squad after the signing of many other UDFA's. Scouts have praised Rogers for his play at Tennessee, some even expected him to get drafted. Although Zach Rogers wasn't a big time breakout player at UT, he was arguably the most consistent...

Smith 'in trouble' for playoff berth talk
Incoming rookie quarterback Geno Smith reported that he was "in trouble" with Jets brass for guaranteeing the team would make the playoffs.
Geno Smith was scolded for playoff proclamation
Geno Smith has been a quick study when it comes to learning how to handle the intense media presence that envelopes the New York Jets.
Smith provided a shining example of how not to deal with the media during the week preceding the 2013 NFL draft.
So much so that his mouth and the fingers that typed some ill-advised Tweets may have cost him first-round money.
On Sunday,...
Geno Smith looks to shed 'Diva' label
New York Jets rookie QB Geno Smith has had, shall we say, some missteps from the time he was waiting in the green room of April's draft to about right now.
But for him, it's time to sit down and talk candidly and intelligently to the media, and show them that he's not what everyone is saying he is - cellphone-obsessed prima donna who thinks he's better than he really...
Geno takes a beating before a snap
Being sacked won't sting Geno Smith nearly as much as the beating he has taken by the media since he was drafted by the New York Jets.
The quarterback was criticized for saying the 2013 Jets would make the playoffs, which seems highly improbable for a franchise in rebuilding mode.
There were reports Smith was prepared to leave draft festivities in New York City last month after...

Mike Goodson's NFL career possibly over
Last week, Mike Goodson, who was signed by the Jets two months ago to a three year, $6.9 million contract, was arrested on weapons and drug charges. The running back allegedly was in possession of marijuana and a semi-automatic .45-caliber gun. While Goodson was not driving the SUV that when it was pulled over, that didn't absolve him from responsibility.
With such serious...
Geno Smith The “preferred candidate” To Start For The Jets
Rich Cimini of ESPN New York writes that Geno Smith is the “preferred candidate” to win the Jets starting quarterback job.
Cimini adds that Smith will need to prove capable of running the team’s offense in order to stave off Mark Sanchez.
It’s no secret that Smith is the preferred option over Sanchez, but Cimini mentions that starting Geno earlier on could allow him...
Willie Colon believes the Jets will release Mike Goodson
With running back Mike Goodson’s recent arrest, Jets offensive lineman Willie Colon believes he’ll be released.
“It’s one of the things where it’s zero-tolerance with stuff like that,” Colon told the New York Daily News. “It’s sad. Mike could have been huge for us.”
“He wasn’t around a lot, so I didn’t really get to see him a lot. For the most part, I was...
The Jets franchise is a disaster right now and the fans will suffer for it this season. NFL predictions 1.0.
The bottom line is the Jets are one of the worst run franchises in the league. They were carrying six quarterbacks following the draft. There is no legitimate strategy for carrying that many. Add to that, they lost two of the better known back-ups for nothing in return.
This team has needs at QB, WR, RB, OL, DL and DB. They tried to address some of them in the draft...
