<p><span>Bryan Thomas</span>, who was the longest tenured member of the New York Jets until his release on Saturday, is back with the organization just two days later. Thomas had been dealing with a hamstring injury through the first two weeks of the season and the Jets decided to release him and sign rookie cornerback <span>Donnie Fletcher</span> off the practice squad. Thomas wasn't expected to be on the open market long, with many predicting the Jets would re-sign him on Monday.</p>
<p>But that doesn't mean the veteran linebacker wasn't initially angry. He spoke about being released just a day before the game in Miami (<a href="http://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2012/09/bryan_thomas_re-signed_by_jets.html" target="_blank">via Connor Orr of The Star-Ledger</a>):</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"It's a business, now my main focus is getting back on the field and helping this team win," Thomas said. "At first was I angry? Yeah. It's my job. It's what I've always done all my life. So was I angry? Yeah."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Now back in the fold, Thomas said he would be ready for the Jets' Week 4 game against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.ninersnation.com/">49ers</a>.</p>

<p><span>Kyle Wilson</span> is now a starting cornerback for the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.ganggreennation.com/">New York Jets</a> with the news that <span>Darrelle Revis</span> will be <a href="http://newyork.sbnation.com/2012/9/23/3379472/darrelle-revis-injury-jets-star-could-have-torn-acl" target="_blank">lost for the season with a torn ACL</a>. Wilson, a 2010 first-round pick, has started 14 games in his two-plus seasons with the Jets, so he is no stranger to the playing field.</p>
<p>"I just feel like I'm going (to go) out there and I'm going to continue to do my job. Go out there, make plays and have fun. Just play my game, that's all I can do," Wilson said Monday.</p>
<p>Wilson has three interceptions in his career, including one this season.</p>
<p>Revis, of course, is considered the best cornerback in the NFL. Revis Island is really a place wide receivers have gone to mostly be ignored by their quarterbacks. Through two games, quarterbacks had a passer rating of a ridiculous 6.3 throwing at Revis, according to Pro Football Focus. In 2011, quarterbacks had a 45.6 passer rating targeting Revis.</p>
<p>Quarterbacks had a 95.1 passer rating targeting Wilson a season ago, completing 40 of the 60 passes thrown in his direction. Thus far this season Wilson has been targeted 11 times with quarterbacks completing 8 passes. The passer rating when targeting Wilson is 58.5.</p>
<p>"Each year has gotten slower and I think that's because of knowing what to look for and just having that experience. There's nothing like being out there on the field," Wilson said.</p>
<p>Unfortunately for the Jets, Wilson is now going to be on the field a lot more than they would like.</p>

<p>As you might expect, Twitter is aflame with discussion of the season-ending knee injury suffered Sunday by <a href="https://www.ganggreennation.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">New York Jets</a> cornerback <span>Darrelle Revis</span> in a game against the <a href="https://www.thephinsider.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Miami Dolphins</a>.</p>
<p>At the bottom you will find a scrolling list of Revis comments. We will leave that there for a while, mostly for your amusement.</p>
<p>Here are some of the Revis tweets we've sene thus far:</p>

<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.ganggreennation.com/">New York Jets</a> overtime victory over the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.thephinsider.com/">Miami Dolphins</a> on Sunday was a sloppy affair that had both sides frustrated with the on-field performance. Of course, the Jets at least earned a victory for their effort, which has catapulted them to the top of the AFC East standings, while the Dolphins join the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.patspulpit.com/">New England Patriots</a> in the cellar.</p>
<p>For Miami, the team had the game in their grasp's but managed to allow the Jets to snatch it away from them, via SB Nation's Dolphins blog <a href="http://www.thephinsider.com/2012/9/24/3382426/jets-at-dolphins-miami-offensive-snap-counts#storyjump">The Phinsider</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Early on, the game seemed like it was the Dolphins' game to lose. Unfortunately, they did.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>For the Jets, the victory was basically the only thing to be happy about, via SB Nation's Jets blog <a href="http://www.ganggreennation.com/2012/9/23/3378866/jets-beat-dolphins-in-overtime-23-20">Gang Green Nation</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>That was the single worst game I have ever seen in my life. Yet, we somehow came out with a win. I don't understand how yet, but until I can get the recap up, celebrate that horrible, disgusting win here.</p>
<p>Man, that was ugly.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Unfortunately, it only managed to get uglier for New York as All-Pro corner <span>Darrelle Revis</span> was officially diagnosed with a torn ACL on Monday that will require him to <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2012/9/23/3379164/darrelle-revis-injury-knee-mri-new-york-jets">miss the remainder of the 2012 season</a>. For Jets' fans, this is possibly the worst news one could hear as Revis is by-and-far the most important piece of the defense. Now, the team will rely upon <span>Kyle Wilson</span> and <span>Antonio Cromartie</span> to fill the void.</p>

</figure>
<p>So much for that New York Jets quarterback controversy Tim Tebow was supposed to cause. After three games it seems obvious the Jets don't see Tebow as the threat to the absurdly average Mark Sanchez -- at least for now.</p>
<p>During Sunday's 23-20 overtime victory over the Miami Dolphins, Tebow played 12 offensive snaps. Only a couple of those were as a Wildcat quarterback. He was a running back, receiver, and mostly a decoy. Except for the one pass thrown to him that clanged off his face mask, that is. </p>
<p>Tebow did run a fake punt, gaining 5 yards and a first down that led to a field goal. That, however, has been his only real contribution in three games. He ended Sunday with 2 carries for 5 yards, and still has not attempted a pass this season. He has 8 carries this season for 33 yards, and has done just about everything except look like a quarterback. Or, really, like a guy who can make a major, consistent, contribution on the field. Mostly because you have to be on the field to do that.</p>
<p>And Tebow is, mostly, on the bench.</p>

<p></p>
<p>Your first place <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.ganggreennation.com/">New York Jets</a>, ladies and gentlemen!</p>
<p>That's right. The Jets are in first place in the AFC East, and nobody, even <span>Tim Tebow</span> with all his mythical otherworldly powers, knows how.</p>
<p>When I constructed the idea to do a "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" recap every day after a Jets game sometime last year, I didn't even realize the perfection of it. It just popped in my head, a way to look back at every game with a catchy title from an old Clint Eastwood movie. But with the Jets, it's indeed a perfect way to look back at a game. There's three sections. Sixty-six percent of them deal with negativity. In most Jets games, including yesterday's 23-20 overtime <i>win</i> over the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.thephinsider.com/">Miami Dolphins</a>, the bad outweighs the good by a considerable margin. Even if the world flips off its axis 40 years from now and the Jets actually win a Super Bowl, if I'm still writing for SBNation New York then, I will absolutely find plenty to fit in "The Bad" and "The Ugly" sections. That's just the way the Jets operate. It's amazing.</p>
<p>So let's get to yesterday's debacle. The Jets have to be the only team that can win a game and wake up on Monday in first place but still have their entire fanbase pissed off and wanting everyone fired. You <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bigblueview.com/">Giants</a> fans can have your titles. This is way more entertaining.</p>
<p><b>The Good</b></p>
<p>Nick Folk. Nick Folk baby! A perfect 6-for-6 on the season. Bless that foot.</p>
<p>There will be plenty of destruction of the Jets' offense, including <span>Mark Sanchez</span>, in a bit, but you just have to give credit where it's due. It was the type of game that has defined Sanchez's NFL career so far. Shaky decisions, inaccurate throws, a few turnovers, and a couple of big plays at key times to somehow win a game. Sanchez and the offense shook off a bad day to take a 20-17 lead with just over three minutes left in the game. It was a solid eight play, 57 yard series, with Sanchez converting two big third downs including the drive ender to <span>Jeremy Kerley</span> for a seven yard touchdown. In overtime, Sanchez hit the big play to <span>Santonio Holmes</span>, a 38-yarder down the sideline that set up the game-winner. If a different game went exactly the same way and you said that sentence again, but used the names "<span>Eli Manning</span>" and "<span>Hakeem Nicks</span>" instead, all you would read about this morning is how clutch the Giants are. They've earned that, and if you think I'm trying to make some sort of comparison between the two QBs or teams, I'm not, so please just go away. I'm just pointing out how the narrative is markedly different with the team in Green and White. They've also earned that. But don't act like Sanchez's late fourth quarter drive and the toss to Holmes in overtime don't matter. They did.</p>
<p>Holmes showed up big, registering his first 100-plus yard day in almost two years. This is the type of performance the Jets need from Holmes every week in order for their offense to be respectable.</p>
<p>The good <span>LaRon Landry</span> made an appearance on Sunday. LaRon's evil twin (who, if you weren't aware, is best friends with J.R. Smith's evil twin - it's very cute!) stayed home, thankfully.</p>
<p>In limited action, <span>Bilal Powell</span> once again looked like a standard NFL running back. He should start. More on this in a minute.</p>
<p>Jeremy Kerley.</p>
<p>Bobby Malone.</p>
<p><b>The Bad</b></p>
<p>Can somebody explain why <span>Eric Smith</span> is still a member of the Jets? Somebody has to do some investigating and find out what exactly Mike Tannenbaum did all offseason. Isn't this supposed cap genius' job to improve the team? How did he allow the Jets to go into training camp with both Wayne Hunter AND Eric Smith on the roster/cap? Smith's roughing the punter penalty killed the Jets' chances of adding points at the end of the first half. He also took a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty in the third quarter, which helped Miami retake the lead. Eric Smith is a real liability on the field in almost all situations, and it's amazing that the Jets' coaches haven't seen it yet.</p>
<p>Tim Tebow. What in the hell is this guy even doing on the Jets? This entire Tebow experiment has reached the point where its actually an insult to the Jets' fanbase. To put this guy out there as a tight end or a wide receiver and have him run patterns is laughable and disgusting. It's even worse when they actually throw him the ball on a third down. When the Jets deploy Tebow as a wide receiver or tight end, they make themselves worse. The only time the Jets should use Tebow is on the goal line to smash it in for a touchdown. It's not like that exact scenario popped up anytime yesterday or anything. It's insulting and should never happen again. But it will, because the Jets are run with immense incompetence.</p>
<p>The Most Unclutch Defense in the History of Football proved again why it's earned that title. Rex Ryan's group is so bad in the clutch it allowed <span>Ryan Tannehill</span> to drive down the field late in the game TWICE. Ryan Tannehill! Once at the end of regulation when Tannehill brought the Dolphins down for a field goal, almost scoring a touchdown which would have won the game, and didn't need ANY OF THEIR THREE TIMEOUTS TO DO SO. Then in overtime, Tannehill hit <span>Brian Hartline</span> deep down the right sideline which set up game-winning field goal attempt by <span>Dan Carpenter</span> that he thankfully missed.</p>
<p>And then there was...oh, forget it, let's just get to The Ugly.</p>
<p><b>The Ugly</b></p>
<p>Last week I declared <span>Shonn Greene</span> as the worst starting running back in the NFL. I think I was wrong. He might be the worst running back of any kind in the entire league. This again speaks to the horrible incompetence of Mike Tannenbaum. All we were force-fed was this stupid "Ground and Pound" crap. How did Tannenbaum and the Jets go into this season thinking they were going to be able to rely on Greene to carry a football team? Instead, Greene is averaging 2.8 yards per carry so far this season. He had three cracks on the goal line yesterday to get in and couldn't do it. Isn't that what he's supposed to be good at? If he can't plunge forward for a yard, what can he do?</p>
<p>He certainly can't run outside, can't make a defender miss, can't cutback, can't juke, has no athleticism, gives you nothing out of the backfield as a receiver, and can't pass protect. Other than that, he's alright. And don't blame the offensive line. Bilal Powell is averaging 4.0 yards per carry in front of this same line. Bilal Powell! Who on God's green Earth is Bilal Powell?! He's the guy who should be starting at running back for the New York Jets for the rest of the season. Greene has had his chance and has earned a spot on the bench.</p>
<p>If the Jets can't run the ball with any consistency, and right now they can't, it puts a huge burden on Mark Sanchez. And of course, how have the Jets built this team around Sanchez? Terribly. Stephen Hill is a rookie, but he's a rookie who is way behind most other young receivers. He's a physical specimen the Jets think they can teach to be a dynamic receiver. He showed flashes of it in Week 1, but since then has been exposed pretty badly. He's still learning the game, and that's okay. But the dude simply cannot be dropping touchdowns like he did yesterday if he's going to get major reps. <span>Chaz Schilens</span> should probably start over him.</p>
<p>This is where we are with the New York Jets' offense. After three weeks, Bilal Powell and Chaz Schilens should see more time. Mercy.s But of course the guy who is going to shoulder most of the blame for the woeful offense is Sanchez. Lets' get it straight, Sanchez was really bad yesterday for the most part. He had two bad interceptions, although one of them was probably on receiver <span>Clyde Gates</span> (WHO?! The Jets own the NFL record for offensive players that nobody has ever heard of) for a bad route. Sanchez also missed wide open throws to Schilens and Kerley that both could have gone for deep touchdowns. He overthrew an open <span>Jeff Cumberland</span> in the end zone, and despite making a great play to stay on his feet and getting hit while he released the ball, it's one he probably should have made. Simply put, the Jets aren't going to win many games at all if Sanchez plays like he did for 90% of the game yesterday. The completion percentage has to go up, the mistakes and poor decisions need to go the other way. He's in his fourth year now, and Sanchez has to start playing more consistently. He has always showed flashes within games - like the late drives and clutch throws against Miami - and has had some great games and playoff succes.</p>
<p>But it's just not consistent enough. Miami isn't a good team. Sanchez should have been able to go in there and control the game. Instead it was a dogfight. It wasn't all on Sanchez, but a quarterback has the ability to take a stranglehold on any game (see Manning, Eli and Rodgers, Aaron). Sanchez hasn't really proved that he can do that yet. He needs to start soon. Of course, it would help if the Jets surrounded him with some better talent.</p>
<p>And then there's <span>Darrelle Revis</span>' injury. If...I mean...well, Antonio Cromartie and Kyle Wilson, I guess, you know...maybe? Crap.</p>

<p>For a long while Sunday it looked like the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.ganggreennation.com/">New York Jets</a> were not going to win. They trailed 10-0 and 17-13 during regulation and had to sweat as <span>Dan Carpenter</span> of the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.thephinsider.com/">Miami Dolphins</a> missed field goal from 48 yards in overtime, but the Jets came away with a 23-20 overtime victory. In reality, that is what mattered.</p>
<p>"Every win in this league is a great win. They're tough to get. I don't know if I've ever been in a tougher one than this. Clearly it was a team effort and did we get breaks -- we certainly got some breaks, no question about it."</p>
<p>"It looked rough for us for a while. We kept hanging in there. Good things happened to us. We feel very fortunate."</p>
<p>The Jets might not have been so fortunate in the injury department. There is fear that star cornerback <span>Darrelle Revis</span> might have <a href="http://newyork.sbnation.com/2012/9/23/3379328/darrelle-revis-injury-new-york-jets" target="_blank">suffered a torn ACL</a>. </p>
<p>Official word on that will come later. For now, however, the Jets can feel good about being 2-1 and having won a game it looked like they were going to lose.</p>
<p>"It was a roller coaster, no doubt," quarterback <span>Mark Sanchez</span> said. "This team fought, we battled. You can't teach resiliency."</p>

<p>The <a href="https://www.ganggreennation.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">New York Jets</a> are fearing the worst for their All-Pro cornerback. After watching him get carted off the field <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/2012/9/23/3378222/darrelle-revis-injury-knee-acl-jets">with a knee injury</a> during Sunday's 23-20 win against division rival <a href="https://www.thephinsider.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Miami</a>, the Jets are concerned that <span>Darrelle Revis</span> <a href="http://twitter.com/JasonLaCanfora/status/249980082746171392">suffered a tear of his anterior cruciate ligament</a>, which would end his season. Without Revis, the Jets relied on cornerbacks <span>Antonio Cromartie</span> and <span>Kyle Wilson</span> to stop the Dolphins' passing game, and the two didn't do a spectacular job, allowing penalties and big plays throughout the second half.</p>
<p>Revis has been among the best, if not <i>the </i>best, corners in the game for the past four years. He's made four straight Pro Bowls, been named to three straight All-Pro teams, was named AFC Defensive Player of the Year in 2009 and led the conference in interception return yards last year. In the NFL's annual player rankings this offseason, Revis was named <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL_Top_100">the No. 5 player in the league</a>.</p>
<p>The Jets are 2-1 and will host the <a href="https://www.ninersnation.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">San Francisco 49ers</a> next week, but Jets fans will shudder to think what two games against <span>Tom Brady</span> and the <a href="https://www.patspulpit.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Patriots</a> will look like without Revis in the secondary.</p>
