More surprising than Hillary finally conceding (somewhat); more shocking than an unimpeded trip on the Cross Bronx; it’s Newsday NFL columnist Bob Glauber in Hempstead. He, like her, is ready on Day 1…for the Jets minicamp.
As are the rest of you I'm sure.
Today’s minicamp schedule is as follows, courtesy of the Jets PR staff:
10:20 a.m. Practice
12:15 p.m. Players available coming off field
1:15 p.m.-1:35 p.m. Coach Mangini in press room
3:45 p.m. Practice
So there you have it. I’ll be back with an update after we interview players, and then I'll have a second update after the second practice, which will end I’m guessing in the 5:30 p.m. range. While I'm at the morning practice, feel free to post some of what you'd like me to report on, though keep in mind I won't be able to post anything until after the player interviews. So at, say, 11 a.m., I'll still be at practice.
Also, a small tidbit of news on the draft pick front. Seventh-round pick Nate Garner was signed two days ago - you already knew that part - to a four-year contract, and the team is very "close" to reaching a deal with sixth-round pick Marcus Henry, according to a source. That announcement could come within the next week.

Erik, outside the obvious stuff (Quarterback competition, outstanding plays) I'd like to know how Bryan Thomas and Justin Miller look on defense because I feel if they can contribute a lot this year, the Jets will have a solid defense. Thanks, buddy.
Hey Erik,
Is Gholston going to be in attendance today?
Rich R,
Gholston starts tomorrow.
I'd love to here a little bit about where Lowery is lining up, FS of the nickel, with which team, etc, and if he's getting any looks in man coverage. Also a Brad Smith update would be appreciated, and I'd like to hear how Woody looks at the RT spot. Thanks.
Yeah, I like to know how the O-line looks to be 'gelling'. Also any notes on our O-line depth... How does Garner look, how about Bender?
I guess I would like to read about the players conditioning and appearance. Does anyone look like there're out of shape? How 'bout Jenkins and Woody with the weight clause. Is KJ >360lbs?
What's this I'm hearing on Sirius NFL radio about Chris Baker addressing the media and stating that he does not expect to be a member of the team in 2008? Erik, is there any truth to that?
Anyone miss me?
Nope
T-Rock who?
T-Rock - no freakin' way...you leaving has been the best thing for this blog
