The Steelers just ran onto the field. To cheers. And Terrible Towels. There's a lot of Black and Gold in the stadium today. I'm justlooking down at the entrance to the tunnel and there are Steelers fans leaning over the railing heckling the Jets players below them.
Home game indeed.
A few notes to catch up on. FB Stacy Tutt's season is over, placed on IR after injuring his leg in a special teams drill earlier this week. We reported here that Tutt was injured and walked off the field and then returned to practice. On Friday he was listed as out. on Saturday he was placed on IR.
They elevated Jason Trusnik from the practice squad to take Tutt's place. In fact, he's on the active roster for today's game and will play. Darian Barnes, technically the backup fullback behind Tutt, is on the inactive list. There must be something he's not doing well enough to keep getting shelved for the games. So the Jets don't have a true fullback on the field today. Look for Joe Kowalewski to get some time there.
Other Jets inactives are Tuiasosopo (3rd QB), Chris Davis, Jacob Bender (back to the sideline after a few games in uniform), Adrian Jones, Sean Ryan, Marques Murrell, and Eric Hicks. Hicks is a surprise. Well, not really a surprise since he hasn't been doing much of anything. But it is a change. C.J. Mosley jumps in as another d-lineman and Mike DeVito will probably get a number of snaps.
Jets, by the way, are wearing green over green. I know Jets fans love those unis. Steelers are in gold pants and white tops. Just like their fans.

There were still a lot more Jets fans there than Steeler fans. Please with the overstatements already.
Let me make this very simple for you the real Jet fan allways shows up no matter what. When Hess moved the team to nj we lost many fans now we have Giant fans coming to the games because they can`t get giant tickets. It`s too easy to buy tickets from the so called JET FANS.It was a disgrace on sunday to see the stadium filled with steeler fans but like I said the real JET FANS were there.
