Getting into the regular season swing
Sort of. Short week with the Jets playing at Philly Thursday but today and tomorrow are similar to the days you'll see in the regular season.
Eric Mangini's press conference is at 10:15 this morning with the locker room open after that from 10:35-11:20 a.m. The media gets to watch practice from 11:40-12:25 p.m. As I mentioned last week, the long - some, maybe most, would say drawn out - practice reports are a thing of the past as we won't see nearly as much as we did during training camp. But we'll have something.
Expect the topic of the day - probably the next two days - to be whether Brett Favre will play Thursday. There are good arguments to be made why he should play and good arguments to be made for why he shouldn't. Right now I lean toward not playing him because I'm not sure one series is going to accelerate his progress much more. The work he needs to get done can be accomplished in practice. That said, if Eric Mangini decides to play him a series or two, it's tough to hammer him for that. How's that for fence-sitting?
Also today perhaps we'll get some official word on Justin Miller, not to mention something on the possible return of special teams guru Mike Westhoff. Back in a bit.

I hope Westhoff come back to coach, Class guy and in my opinion the best Special Teams Coach in the game.
Miller is out 1-3 weeks with dislocated toe as per foxsports
Mike Westhoff should take all the time it takes to get well. The doctors should make him take it slow so that he won't have another relapse if that's at all possible.
He's too good a person and coach not to receive absolutely first class regard for his continued well-being -- regardless of how much we all want him to show up.
I am sure be is itching to get back, my bet he is on the team in Miami
