PLAXICO RETURNS WR Plaxico Burress returned to the field for the first time in 1,001 days when he suited up against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2 of the preseason. Burress wasted no time making an impact, as he caught three passes for 66 yards in the first half, including a 26-yard touchdown pass from Sanchez. KERLEY SHOWS VERSATILITY Fifth-round draft pick WR Jeremy Kerley showed he can be a jack-of-all-trades for the Jets. The rookie totaled 292 combined yards, as a receiver, returner and Wildcat quarterback. He caught six passes for 55 yards as a receiver. As a returner, he averaged 28.3 yards per kick return and 8.9 yards per punt return. In the Wildcat, Kerley completed his only pass, which went for 18 yards, and added five yards on the ground. GIVE AND TAKE In four preseason games, the Jets posted a +6 turnover ratio, as the defense forced nine turnovers, and the offense surrendered the ball just three times. S Jim Leonhard, who is returning from a broken leg that ended his 2010 season, led the defense with two interceptions. YOUTH MOVEMENT ON THE D-LINE The Jets hope that their top two draft picks, first-round DE Muhammad Wilkerson and third-round selection NT Kenrick Ellis will make an impact on the defensive line in The two rookies helped slow down opponents running backs, as the Jets gave up just 2.9 yards per carry in the preseason.

12 RYAN=DEFENSE Like most sons, Rex Ryan always knew he wanted to be in the family business. For the Ryans, the family business is stifling defense. In 1985, his father, Buddy Ryan, led what is widely considered to be the best defense in NFL history. Known simply as the 85 Bears, Buddy s unit allowed 12.6 points a game. For the season, they allowed 20 touchdowns (9 rushing, 10 passing and 1 on a return). Rex has been a part of some of the NFL s best defenses himself. In 2000, he served as the defensive line coach for a Baltimore Ravens team that allowed an NFL best 10.3 points a game. In 16 games, the 2000 Ravens allowed 18 touchdowns (5 rushing, 11 passing and 2 on returns). As a defensive coordinator in 2006, Rex matched his father s 1985 feat allowing 12.6 points a game with the Ravens. Rex s 2006 team led the NFL in 11 categories: yards per game (264.1), yards per play (4.51), rushing yard per game (75.9), rushing yards per play (3.31), interception rate (5.5%), sacks per pass attempt (11.79%), first downs per game (14.8), third-down conversions allowed (28.9%), red zone pct. (33.3%) and points allowed a game (12.6). In 2009, Rex returned the family business to the Jets, where his father earned his first NFL job. Rex took a defense that ranked 10th in scoring for the 2008 season to the top of the NFL rankings in seven categories: yards per game (252.3), yards per play (4.24), passing yards a game (153.7), passing yards per play (4.91), first downs allowed (14.8), third-down conversions allowed (31.5%) and points allowed (14.8). Season Tm Pts/G NFL Rank 2010 Jets Jets Ravens Ravens t 2006 Ravens Ravens REX RYAN AFFECTING THE QUARTERBACK The Jets affect quarterbacks in more ways than just sacking them. Since 2009, opposing passers have completed an NFL low 51.2% of their passes while being sacked 72 times, which is tied for 12thmost over the span. 2010: 14 different Jets combined for 40 sacks, eight less than the NFL leading Steelers with passer rating sixth in NFL 50.7 completion percentage best in NFL 2009: 10 different Jets combined for 32 sacks, 16 less than the NFL leading Vikings with passer rating best in NFL completion percentage best in NFL. 8 TD passes allowed best in NFL. CAPTAINS For the first time since becoming the Jets head coach, Rex Ryan has named team captains. WR Santonio Holmes, NT Sione Pouha, CB Darrelle Revis, QB Mark Sanchez and S Eric Smith will wear the C on their jerseys for the 2011 season. Coach Ryan had this to say about his selection of captains. It was not voted on. This is something that I chose. I chose these guys based on what I see on the practice field, the game field, the classroom, their leadership, what they mean to their units, the pride and everything else. That s what I m looking for in those individuals. NO PENALTIES? The Jets committed no penalties in the team s victory over DAL (9/11), something they have done just five other times in franchise history.

13 DEFENSIVELY UNMATCHED Since becoming the Defensive Coordinator with BLT prior the start of the 2005 season, Coach Ryan has posted elite defensive numbers in every major defensive category. Adding his numbers at BLT from to the Jets defensive numbers in his first two seasons as a head coach, Ryan ranks first in total defense, passing defense, thirddown percentage defense, third in scoring defense and fourth in turnovers forced and rushing defense.

14 PETTINE PRIOR In 2005, Mike Pettine was promoted from Coaching Assistant/Quality Control to Outside Linebackers Coach in Baltimore, the same season that current Jets Head Coach Rex Ryan was named the Ravens Defensive Coordinator. Together, the two oversaw a defense that ranked in the top five in almost every defensive category from 2005 to 2008 when both left for the Jets. Top Five Ranks in Baltimore ( ) 1st in First Downs Allowed (999) 2nd in Total Defense (277.8 yards per game) 2nd in Scoring Defense (17.6 point per game allowed) 2nd in Rushing Defense (84.0 yards per game) 2nd in Opponent Third Down Conversion Percentage (33.8%) 2nd in Interceptions and t-2nd in Touchdowns off Interceptions 4th in Turnovers Forced (123) 5th in Passing Defense (193.8 yards per game) t-5th in Sacks (168) PERFORMING UNDER PETTINE Since becoming the Jets Defensive Coordinator, Pettine has continued to oversee top ranked defenses. 1st in Total Defense (252.3 yards per game) st in Points Allowed (14.8) nd in Fumble Recovery (21) 2010 David Harris (NYJ 09-) In two seasons under Pettine, Harris has led the team in tackles with 119 (2010) and 142 (2009). Calvin Pace (NYJ 09- ) In Pace s first season with Pettine as Defensive Coordinator, he posted a career-high with 8.0 sacks in just 12 games played. Sione Pouha (NYJ 09- ) In two seasons under Pettine, Bo has become a stalwart in the middle of the Jets defense. He has enjoyed his two highest tackle totals 61 (2009) and 46 (2010). Pouha also recorded his first two full sacks of his career in Terrell Suggs (BLT 05-08) In four seasons under Pettine, Suggs posted his four highest tackle totals, collected four of his five career interceptions and posted three seasons of at least eight sacks, leading the team in sacks twice. Adalius Thomas (BLT 05-06) Thomas enjoyed his two best seasons in his only two seasons with Pettine when he notched 9.0 sacks in 2005 and 11.0 sacks in COORDINATORS SCHOOLED BY SCHOTTY Drew Brees (SD 02-05) Schottenheimer arrived in San Diego for Brees second season and quickly became a large part of his development with 2002 marking his first season as a starting quarterback. In four seasons with Schotty, Brees averaged over 3,000 yards a season, completing 62.3% of his passes and compiling an 84.7 passer rating. Chad Pennington (NYJ 06-07) Schottenheimer s first season with the Jets coincided with the return of Chad Pennington from a season-ending injury the year before. Under Schotty s direction, Pennington posted a then career-best 3,352 yards passing, completing 64.5% of his passes for an 82.6 passer rating. Pennington also took home Comeback Player of the Year honors as he keyed a Jet return to the postseason. Thomas Jones (NYJ 07-09) Jones was considered a journeyman for the earlier part of his career after spending his first seven seasons in the league with three different teams. In that time, he averaged yards and 4.9 touchdowns per season. In 2007, he was acquired by the Jets in an offseason trade and instantly became an integral part of Coach Schottenheimer s offense. In three seasons under Schotty, Jones averaged 1,277.7 yards rushing and 9.3 rushing touchdowns a season and set career-highs in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns in Dustin Keller (NYJ 08-) Keller, the Jets 2008 first-round pick, quietly had the best first two seasons by a tight end in club history catching 93 passes, the most by a Jets tight end in their first two NFL seasons. In the 2010 season, Keller led the team in receptions with 55 for 687 yards and 5 touchdowns. Under Schottenheimer, Keller has become a go-to player with 174 career catches for 2,046 yards and 13 touchdowns. Mark Sanchez (NYJ 09- ) Sanchez, the Jets 2009 first-round pick, was chosen to direct Schottenheimer s offense. Since then, Sanchez finished his sophomore season with a career high of 3,291 yards, 17 touchdowns, 13 interceptions and a passer rating of 75.3, making him the second youngest Jets quarterback to pass for over 3,000 yards. He is also the youngest quarterback in NFL history to throw eight touchdown passes and no interceptions during the first five games of the season. During Sanchez s two consecutive playoff runs, he led the Jets to a club record of four road victories, and tied the record for the most postseason road wins in the NFL. Additionally, he tied the club record for the most postseason touchdown passes in a single game with three. WONDERFUL WORLD OF WESTHOFF No team in the league has had more kickoff return touchdowns since Mike Westhoff s tenure with the Jets began in Since then, the Jets have scored 14 times on kickoff returns. Perhaps even more remarkable than the fact that the Jets lead the league with 14 scores, is that those scores have come from six different players. Leon Washington (4), Justin Miller (3), Brad Smith (3), Chad Morton (2), Jerricho Cotchery (1) and Jonathan Carter (1) have all brought a kick back for a score under Westy.
