The decision to replace Chad Pennington with Kellen Clemens sent the anticipated ripples through the team.
Receiver Laveranues Coles, who has a close friendship with Pennington, said he would take his lead from the quarterback. “I’m going to pretty much feel the way that he feels,” Coles said. “If he’s cool with it then I’m cool with it.”
Jerricho Cotchery chalked the change up to the team’s dire position. “We are 1-7, so we are trying to do anything possible to get a win,” he said. “(Mangini) let us know that this wasn’t the only change, so there will be others.”
And running back Thomas Jones, a newcomer to the Jets this season, said he’s been impressed by Clemens’ leadership and presence in the huddle. Last year in Chicago, Jones went through a similar situation where the starting quarterback was under constant scrutiny and fans and media were calling for his job. That team went to the Super Bowl. This team will not.
“At the end of the day it doesn’t really matter,” Jones said of the quarterback position. “I have a job to do and I can’t spend my time worrying about another position.”

Fire Manidiot ..... Fire Tannenbaum ...... Sell the Team!
You cannot try and mirror the Patriots without having the players!
They have Brady..... We have squat and even worse we have no good young players!
Go fire yourself. Go back to the new england fan board and join your buddies in the Red Sox/Patriots Parade --- we have work to do while you guys polish that SuperBowl trophy.
Bigger Jet fan then you will ever be. Just calling it like it is!
Mandummy is clueless on play calling, defense, and all other intangibles!
T ROCK....Not much action on this blog...They all threw in the towel huh ???? Well at least they have baseball......Oh wait we are cahmps there also....At least you have college football....Oh wait we got BC....At least you have the Knicks....Oh wait the Celts are picked in the East.
Never mind, back to counting sheep LOSERS !!!
No one cares about Boston and their teams. This thing runs in cycles and Boston will be down very soon. Brady is gonna get seriously hurt if Belicheat keeps running up the score, the Celtics are overrated, Red Sux are gonna lose now that we got Girardi, and no one cares about BC.
Yanks, Jets, Knicks, and Ranhers are gonna be a great again, baby!!!
You got the Ran HERS right...That team is an absolute JOKE....Nice signings....Bunch of wicked losahssssss
