Recorded two of his four career 300-yard passing games this season, a career-high 369 at OAK (9/25) and 335 vs. DAL (9/11). The Jets are 3-1 in games where Sanchez eclipses the 300-yard mark. He finished the 2010 season with a career-high 3,291 yards, 17 touchdowns and 13 interceptions for a passer rating of 75.3 on the season. He became only the second quarterback (Ben Roethlisberger 5, ) to start and win four postseason games in their first two seasons in the NFL. Sanchez recorded a passer rating on 16- of-25 passing for 194 yards and three touchdowns in the club s win at NE (1/16). It was the first time he has thrown three touchdown passes in a postseason game, and tied the club record for most in a single postseason game. He led the Jets on a five-play, 40-yard game-winning drive, in which he completed all three of his passes for 38 yards in the Wild Card victory at IND (1/8). The Jets win marked Sanchez s third postseason win, the most by any QB in franchise history. His seven career rushing touchdowns ties him for fourth amongst Jets quarterbacks in club history. Veteran Mark Brunell signed with the Jets as a free agent (7/28/10). The three-time Pro Bowler missed the preseason due to injury. Fourth-year veteran Kevin O Connell returns to the Jets after spending the 2011 training camp with the Miami Dolphins. O Connell originally joined the Jets via trade with DET in 2009, before eventually being waived (7/29/11). Running Backs (6), Returning Starter (1) Coach Anthony Lynn: After spending two seasons as an understudy to Thomas Jones and LaDainian Tomlinson, Shonn Greene serves as the starter at running back.

Tomlinson moved into the role of the Jets third-down back in 2011 and is currently second on the team with 12 receptions for 196 yards and a TD. In Week Three, Tomlinson recorded the 160th touchdown of his career.

He finished the game with five receptions for 116, it was his first 100-yard game since 2003 (at GB 12/14).

Wide Receivers (6), Returning Starter (1) Coach Henry Ellard: The lone starter returning in 2011 is Santonio Holmes. Since 1983, no NFL receiver has caught more touchdown passes (5) in the final 1:00 of 4th quarter/overtime (including playoffs) than Holmes. The Super Bowl XLIII MVP re-signed with the Jets this offseason and was named captain by Coach Ryan. The new members of the Jets receiving corps are 10-year veteran Plaxico Burress, 2011 fifth-round selection Jeremy Kerley and 15-year veteran Derrick Mason. Entering the season, the trio of Burress, Holmes and Mason had recorded more yards (24,317) and touchdowns (147) than any active trio in the NFL.

Offensive Line (8), Returning Starters (5) Coach Bill Callahan: In 2006, Jets General Manager Mike Tannenbaum focused on the offensive line, selecting LT D Brickashaw Ferguson fourth overall and C Nick Mangold 29th overall in the NFL draft. The two players started 82 consecutive games together before Mangold missed his first NFL contest in Week Three at OAK (9/25). The streak made them the only two players who entered the league together to start their team s first 75 regular-season games on the same offensive line since Ferguson earned his second-consecutive Pro Bowl nod for his play last season.

He started the next week and helped the offense produce 439 yards (339 passing, 100 rushing) at OAK (9/25). Defensive Line (6), Returning Starters (2) Coach Mark Carrier and Jeff Weeks: Led by veteran starter DT Mike DeVito (5th season) and defensive captain NT Sione Pouha (7th season), the Jets field a defensive line with four players who have three-or-less years of experience. The leaders of this group teamed up to make a huge play in the season opener vs. DAL (9/11) when DeVito recorded the first full-sack of his career dropping QB Tony Romo and forcing a fumble at the Jets two-yard line that Pouha would recover for the fourth fumble recovery of his career. The group was infused with two draft selections this season, DE Muhammad Wilkerson (first round, 30th overall) and NT Kenrick Ellis (third round, 94th overall).

Marcus Dixon, who was awarded to the Jets off waivers (9/5/10) and registered his first-career sack when he dragged downed Bears QB Jay Cutler at CHI (12/26), helps provide depth along with Ropati Pitoitua, who missed all of 2010 due to an injury. Linebackers (8), Returning Starters (4) Coach Bob Sutton: Led by inside linebackers David Harris and Bart Scott and flanked by versatile linebackers Bryan Thomas and Calvin Pace, this unit allows the Jets defense to use multiple schemes.

It was the first time he led the team in sacks since 2006, when he recorded 8.5. Pace played in his first season opener since 2008 and recorded a sack of DAL QB Tony Romo. Including the playoffs, he recorded a sack in five consecutive games dating back to the 2010 season finale vs. BUF (1/2/11). His streak ended in the 32-3 victory vs. JAX (9/18). Second-year LB Josh Mauga has solidified himself as the third inside linebacker after serving on special teams last season. He recorded the first interception of his career in Week Two.

Defensive Backs (10), Returning Starters (4) Coach Dennis Thurman and Jim O Neil This group is led by All-Pro Darrelle Revis, who set up the Jets game-winning field goal in Week One vs. DAL (9/11) when he intercepted a DAL QB Tony Romo pass intended for WR Dez Bryant and returned it 20 yards to DAL 34. The secondary also returns starting S Jim Leonhard, who returns to action after a season ending injury in The safety tandem of Eric Smith and Brodney Pool split time in 2010 as starters and both re-signed with the Jets for the 2011 season. Pool started 12 of the 2010 contests, but Smith, who started six games last year, got the starting nod in 2011 and recorded the second sack of his career in the second quarter vs. DAL (9/11) and the fifth interception of his career vs. JAX (9/18). CB Antonio Cromartie, who this summer re-signed to a long-term deal with the Jets, is also back in the fold and has two interceptions, a 23.6 KOR avg. and a rush for one yard after three weeks. Second-year cornerback and 2010 first-round selection Kyle Wilson, who earned starts in the first three games of the season as well as at CLV (11/14) and BUF (1/2), will be joined by Donald Strickland, a former Jet who spent 2010 with the San Diego Chargers as nickel cornerbacks. The secondary is rounded out with young-veterans Marquice Cole, Emanuel Cook and Isaiah Trufant, who recovered a blocked punt for the game-tying touchdown in Week One vs. DAL (9/11). This group has been pivotal in holding opposing passers to a 64.1 passer rating on 52-of-88 passing with 2 TD and 5 INT.

13 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 12.4 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 almost 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).

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.

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, and third-down conversion percentage defense.
