OK. I’m here. Glauber is here. Zipay is here. The Jets are here. Welcome to the 2006 NFL regular season -- dateline Nashville.
Just a few pregame thoughts:
Tim Dwight is out for the game. It won’t have much of an effect on the Jets, but it’ll probably lower Dwight’s stock since he came here with a reputation for not staying healthy. Too bad. He was pretty psyched up when he returned to practice this week, and he looked fine during practices.
I’m wondering if that means the Jets will take all four RBs into the game. With Dwight among the 45, there was a chance the last spot could’ve come down to Leon Washington and Kevan Barlow. Washington, with special teams abilities, probably would have gotten the nod. Now Washington will be a big part of the return game. He’ll pop at least one punt or kickoff return for 30 or more yards today. Just a hunch.
I think the Jets can win this game, but it will be ugly. Two offenses trying to find their identities against two under-rated defenses. But the Jets NEED to win this game because if they drop it, they might start the season 0-6. Ugh.
The Titans depth chart lists Billy Volek as the starting QB. Who knows what Fisher will do. I’ll put up a quick blog when they announce who is available and who is starting. But you’ll probably be watching on TV and know before I do!!!

Oh ye of little faith. Not too bad. Go figure Chad is both the passing and running game. Short dink and dunk passes instead of running plays. Great play calling on the coaches. No clock management problems. Hey Nugent, "between the uprights, between the uprights." One small victory at a time.
