(Kristian Dyer) WEDNESDAY S SPORTS TRANSACTIONS ASSOCIATED PRESS TTYL: Texts, videos key to chemistry for Jets' Fitzpatrick (Dennis Waszak) Associated Press FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) Ryan Fitzpatrick uses his phone to score some chemistry with his New York Jets teammates on and off the field. LOL? Nope, it's more than just silly emojis. The veteran quarterback regularly sends text messages, videos, voice memos and s to receivers Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker and just about every other playmaker on offense. It's all about game plans, game film and thoughts and suggestions for the upcoming week. "He sends it to us in groups, individually, and it's constant," Marshall said Wednesday. "He's relentless." It's also working for the Jets, who rank 10th in the NFL in offense behind a 33-year-old quarterback who is on pace for a record-breaking season. Fitzpatrick has thrown 22 touchdown passes, seven short of the franchise record held by Vinny Testaverde. A big reason has been the communication he's established with guys like Marshall and Decker, who are also enjoying outstanding seasons. Marshall has 83 catches for 1,062 yards and 10 TDs, while Decker has caught 59 passes for 801 yards and eight scores. "Right after the game, we start texting," Marshall said. "Monday is when we move to the next game, and he'll start sending over video messages with different looks, or he's asking me what I see or what I like. "But 90 percent of it is what he likes, what he wants. He tells us what he wants us to do." Fitzpatrick came to the Jets in the offseason in a trade from Houston, and was expected to be New York's backup. But projected starter Geno Smith had his jaw broken in training camp by a punch from linebacker Ikemefuna Enemkpali and Fitzpatrick suddenly found himself as the No. 1 quarterback. He spent the weeks leading up to the season opener cramming in time with the starters on offense, trying to learn their tendencies and going over film and game plans with them. Fitzpatrick also started using technology to his advantage. 2 P a g e

3 "That's what it's really about, is the communication," Marshall said. "The only way we're going to bridge the gap is by constantly being in communication. It's really what Ryan has done." It's all something kind of new for Fitzpatrick, who joked about not being able to text anyone early in his career. "Technology back in 2005 wasn't the same as it is today," said Fitzpatrick, a rookie with St. Louis then. "I used to send stuff on my beeper." OMG. Remember those? All kidding aside, Fitzpatrick has seen the advantages of being able to notice something he thinks can help the Jets and immediately connect with his receivers without a phone call or waiting until the next day to show them. "That's something I've done more here than in other places," he said. "Part of it was just kind of our schedules. Part of it is just having some guys that really understand the game and, from a simple clip, can really get on the same page with what I'm trying to get them to see. I send individual clips. I'll send to Brandon. If it's relevant to Deck, I'll send him some stuff." Marshall has seen it before from other quarterbacks during his career, including Josh McCown in Chicago, and Chad Pennington and Chad Henne in Miami. But he has been impressed with the urgency and diligence with which Fitzpatrick has established himself as the team's leader and being sure everyone is on the same page. "If it wasn't for him, no telling where we would be right now," Marshall said. "I'm really honored to play with him and really follow him. When you look back and you really study the game, it's the teams who really come together at the end of November, December. If we can stay on this road, there's no telling what happens." Oh, and the offensive linemen aren't exempt from Fitzpatrick's messages, either. "There is a great O-line group text," the quarterback said with a big smile. "But that's usually not about football. Yeah, I snuck my way into that one." ROFL. Jets' Revis (concussion) rejoins team at practice (Dennis Waszak) Associated Press FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) Darrelle Revis is making his way back to the field slowly but surely. The New York Jets cornerback rejoined his teammates Wednesday, attending practice for the first time since suffering a concussion on Nov. 22. Revis, wearing a jersey but no helmet, stretched and then sat in the rehabilitation area during the early portion of practice open to the media. He did not participate in any drills, but coach Todd Bowles was happy to see Revis at least do some physical activity. "He ran a little bit on the side," Bowles said. "So, that was encouraging." 3 P a g e

4 Revis was hurt during the Jets' loss at Houston. He attended meetings last Friday for the first time since the injury after previously only coming to the facility to receive treatment before being sent home each day. The star cornerback has missed two games while going through the NFL's concussion protocol, and it was uncertain if he'd be cleared in time to play against Tennessee on Sunday. "I've got to see him run and he's got to do more practice in order for me to have a little more confidence," Bowles said. Revis still needed to pass two more tests in the protocol before he can be cleared. The Titans are practicing as if Revis will be there in the Jets' secondary. "We're planning on him playing, that's what we're doing," said Titans interim coach Mike Mularkey, whose team took the same approach with Jacksonville's Allen Hurns last week. "The plan is he's playing and we're prepping for that. (We have to) understand his ability and what he brings to that defense. He brings a lot more than just his talent outside there. We're planning on having him lining up out there." Titans rookie quarterback Marcus Mariota was actually looking forward to potentially going up against one of the game's premier cornerbacks. "Any athlete will tell you that they want to play and compete against the best," Mariota said. "If we get that opportunity on Sunday, I'll do my best to make plays and win the game." Revis was walking around in the Jets' locker room after practice, but is not required to speak to the media while he's in the concussion protocol. Marcus Williams, Revis' backup, also didn't practice while he recovers from a sprained knee that kept him out last Sunday against the Giants. "He's going pretty good," Bowles said. "He did some running on the side today, too. We'll see later in the week if he can go out and practice." Cornerback Antonio Cromartie (hip) and center Nick Mangold (hand) also sat out, but Bowles said it was just a "maintenance" day for them and they'll be fine. Safety Dion Bailey (ankle) and linebacker Calvin Pace (abdomen) were limited. NEWSDAY Ryan Fitzpatrick, Brandon Marshall communicate well (Kimberley A. Martin) Newsday FLORHAM PARK, N.J. The messages come fast and furious from Ryan Fitzpatrick s fingertips to the cellphones of his offensive linemen and receivers. It s constant, Brandon Marshall said. He s relentless. There s no mode of communication Fitzpatrick won t use. Everything from s, text messages and video chats are in play when the Jets quarterback has something to say. But the barrage of messages are 4 P a g e

5 anything but annoying, and they may be the key to understanding the bond between Fitzpatrick and Marshall, who have spent the past decade searching for the right NFL fit. If it wasn t for him, man, there s no telling where we d be right now, Marshall said of Fitzpatrick, who threw for a season-high 390 yards and two touchdowns for a passer rating in Sunday s overtime victory over the Giants. So, I m really honored to play with him. And the feeling is mutual. He s great, Fitzpatrick said of his star receiver. He s a very easy guy to throw to, and part of it is his physicalness and part of it is just his smarts. He has great awareness out there. Between them, they ve played 257 games for 10 different teams, six for Fitzpatrick. Neither has made the playoffs. But now, with Fitzpatrick leading the charge, the Jets are 7-5 and their postseason hopes are still alive. At a certain point in your career, if you ve played long enough, you find a calm and peace within yourself, coach Todd Bowles said of the pair. You grow as a person. You understand what team is. You understand what winning is. I think those two hit it at the right time. Fitzpatrick, 33, was supposed to be the guy charged with helping to groom incumbent Geno Smith. But when IK Enemkpali s punch broke Smith s jaw in training camp, Fitzpatrick was tabbed to be the starter. He immediately went to work building a rapport with teammates, especially Marshall. [I] moved in with Geno. Then Ryan got the ball, moved in with Ryan, Marshall joked, when asked how the two developed chemistry so quickly. Truthfully, communication has been the key, Marshall said. Especially of late. Shortly after games, Fitzpatrick and his teammates start texting. By Monday, they ve moved on to discussing the next opponent and Fitzpatrick has begun sending messages with video clips. Technology, back in 2005, wasn t the same as it is today. I used to send stuff on my beeper, Fitzpatrick joked. I send individual clips [to Marshall and Eric Decker]. But there is a great o-line group text, but that s usually not about football. Marshall said this was a common practice between him and his former quarterbacks Chad Pennington, Chad Henne and Josh McCown. But something just feels different on the Jets, he said. The great teams really love each other and care about each other, Marshall added. Talent only takes you so far. And that s what I love about this group right here. Not only in this locker room but all throughout this building. It s the chemistry and the love. Off the field, the bearded quarterback and his rock star-styled receiver couldn t be more different. But between the white lines, they re similar competitive-wise, Bowles said. Fashion-wise, he added, I would say they differ quite a bit. Darrelle Revis (concussion) not cleared to return yet (Kimberley A. Martin) Newsday P a g e

6 FLORHAM PARK, N.J. Darrelle Revis (concussion) still has to pass two more tests before he can be cleared to play Sunday against the Titans, but the Jets have seen encouraging signs of progress. The star cornerback was on the practice field Wednesday for the first time since suffering a concussion Nov. 22 in Houston. Revis, who missed the past two games, did light running off to the side but did not practice. If he doesn t have any setbacks, coach Todd Bowles said, he ll progress to the next day [in the concussion protocol]. He ll do more. He ll run around, and if he can do non-contact drills, we ll see what the progression is from there. If he s feeling good, he may be able to practice a little bit. If he s not, he won t. Marshall the man Brandon Marshall is the first Jets receiver since 1990 (Al Toon) to be named AFC Offensive Player of the Week. He had 12 catches for 131 yards and a touchdown in the overtime win against the Giants. But there s one accolade Marshall isn t sure how to handle: being the first player to post at least 1,000 receiving yards in a season for four teams the Broncos, Dolphins, Bears and Jets. A lot went into playing for four teams, so I didn t know how to take it, said Marshall, who leads the Jets with 1,062 receiving yards. I don t know how to process it. I don t see the big deal, honestly. It s 16 games. You should be able to reach 1,000 yards if you re a good receiver. The team hopes Chaminade alumnus Mike Catapano (Lisfranc) won t need surgery. The DE, a Bayville native, was placed on injured reserve Tuesday... CB Marcus Williams (MCL sprain) did not practice. Neither did CB Antonio Cromartie (hip) and C Nick Mangold (hand), who were given rest days. S Dion Bailey (ankle) and LB Calvin Pace (abdomen) were limited. Bill Parcells texts warning for Jets coach Todd Bowles (Bob Glauber) Newsday FLORHAM PARK. N.J. These are the games Bill Parcells worried about most. Just like the one his protege, Todd Bowles, now faces on Sunday. It s why Parcells fired off a text a few minutes after the Jets came back to beat the Giants, 23-20, reminding Bowles of what lies ahead for the Jets as they host the 3-9 Titans Sunday at MetLife Stadium. It also may be why Bowles took the opportunity on Wednesday to have his players practice in pads, a rarity in today s NFL. I got that text right after the game, so I understand what he s saying, Bowles said of Parcells after practice. This is the classic trap game, and Bowles knows it. Beat the Giants in an emotion-packed win one week, and then host an awful team at least record-wise the following week. The Titans are that team, and Bowles clearly is taking a page from his mentor s approach in these situations. Parcells never worried about getting his team ready for a big game, whether it be against a divisional rival or, in the Jets case, against the team that shares a stadium and the New York market. It was the games 6 P a g e

7 that offered no obvious motivation other than winning, of course that concerned him most. And he made a point of being much more critical of his players in the run-up to that type of game. He also indulged in his now famous motivational ploy of placing mousetraps in his players lockers as a warning about not taking any team especially one with a losing record lightly. When Parcells was the Cowboys coach in 2005, he had several mousetraps hanging in the locker room when his team reported for work a few days after a dramatic road win in Philadelphia. The Cowboys were set to host the 4-5 Lions, and Parcells was concerned that his players might be too complacent. Why the mousetraps? There might be mice in the building, Parcells said. I don t want mice running under the secretaries. Eventually, Parcells fessed up. Sort of. There are a lot of vehicles to teach with, the coach said. They don t have to be all words and pictures. The Cowboys beat the Lions, 20-7, to improve to 7-3. Familiar scenario, huh? Bowles didn t put mousetraps in the locker room on Wednesday, but he did put his players in pads for the first time in several weeks. Message received. We re not a good enough team to overlook anybody, quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick said. We ve got to treat everyone like it s the playoffs, we re in the playoffs right now trying to win each week. I don t think you ll see, hear or feel that out of our team at all. That had better be the case if the Jets want to continue their push toward the playoffs. At 7-5, the Jets would be in the playoffs if the season ended today. But destiny is not completely in their control. For instance, if the Steelers and Chiefs, both of whom are 7-5, win the rest of their games, they would be in the playoffs as wild-card teams and the Jets would be out. Even if they ran the table the rest of the way. Translation: No team, even a 3-9 team going nowhere, can be taken lightly. They re all big wins, Bowles said. It doesn t matter who we play. We know we have to go out and perform every week. Otherwise, we ll be in a nail-biter every week. We don t think it s a trap game. We know they have a good team. They got a heck of a defense. They have a big offensive line, can run the ball. We have to take care of ourselves. If we don t, we re not going to win. A word of advice that Parcells would say at a time like this: Don t eat the cheese. THE RECORD Jets could see what they missed out on in Mariota (J.P. Pelzman) The Record December 10, FLORHAM PARK Exactly 52 weeks ago this upcoming Sunday, the Jets and Tennessee played a game that was meaningless from a playoff standpoint, as both teams entered with 2-11 records. 7 P a g e

8 But that contest had plenty of meaning for a certain someone living in Eugene, Ore., at that time. The Jets slogged their way to a road victory that day, which helped move them away from the top two spots in the 2015 NFL Draft. A subsequent season-ending win over Miami placed the Jets in the No. 6 draft spot. Meanwhile, the Titans lost out and finished with a 2-14 record, giving them the No. 2 slot in the first round and enabling them to draft Oregon standout quarterback Marcus Mariota. Mariota has lived up to the hype thus far, and has a chance Sunday to show the Jets what they missed out on when Tennessee (3-9) visits MetLife Stadium. Mariota, not surprisingly, isn t approaching it that way. "I had no idea where I was going to end up," he said when asked if he thought the Jets might have traded up to select him. "I was very fortunate to be picked by the Tennessee Titans and that s all I could have ever asked for. I wasn t sure where I was going, I had no idea. I m just happy to be here and look forward to the future with this organization." Mariota has 19 touchdown passes and nine interceptions in 10 games, having missed two contests, both of them Tennessee losses, after suffering a knee injury on a low hit in a loss to Miami on Oct. 18. His passer rating is 95.1, 12th-best in the NFL. "He s as good as advertised," said Jets coach Todd Bowles, who watched Mariota work out in Oregon before the draft. "He s very smart; we know he can run. Obviously, he can throw in the pocket [even though] people said he couldn t, but he can throw in the pocket and he can do a lot of things. He s dangerous." Mariota had an 87-yard touchdown run in a win over Jacksonville four days ago, the third-longest run by a quarterback in NFL history. Mariota accounted for 380 yards of total offense and four touchdowns in that victory, which snapped a three-game losing streak. "He can run like a halfback," Bowles said. "He has a lot of poise. You can t pressure him and hurry him and make him panic. He doesn t rush his throws. He can make [all] the throws. He waits until the last possible minute to run. "His maturity as far as handling the game is outstanding," Bowles added. Still, the Titans have struggled, while the Jets (7-5) are in playoff contention behind the veteran leadership of quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, who almost certainly wouldn t be starting had the Jets been able to draft Mariota. Fitzpatrick has 22 touchdown passes and is threatening the franchise record of 29 by Vinny Testaverde in For now, not getting Mariota hasn t hurt the win-now Jets. "I haven t really seen [Mariota] play at all," Fitzpatrick said, "but it s impressive to come in as a rookie and have any sort of success." "I understood it was going to be a process," said Mariota, who played on powerhouse teams in college before coming to the downtrodden Titans. "It does get frustrating and at times, it is tough, but it s a part of it. You ve got to handle adversity as it comes and understand that it s going to make this entire team better moving forward. "No matter what, you ve just got to stick to the grind and don t get flustered or don t get down on yourself for what s going on. Understand it s a process and do your best to get better each and every single week." 8 P a g e

9 Jets notes: Encouraging step for Darrelle Revis (J.P. Pelzman) The Record December 10, FLORHAM PARK Jets star cornerback Darrelle Revis took another step Wednesday, albeit a small one, as he continues to recover from a concussion he suffered Nov. 22. Revis didn't practice, but he attended a practice session for the first time since being injured. He stretched alongside his teammates without a helmet and then went to the rehab area. He didn't participate in any drills, however. "He ran a little bit on the side," coach Todd Bowles said. "So, that was encouraging." Revis had not been able to attend meetings until Friday, and he was on the sidelines in sweats during the win over the Giants on Sunday. Bowles said Revis still is in the NFL's concussion protocol and must pass two more unspecified tests before being allowed to return to practice full time. "I've got to see him run and he's got to do more practice in order for me to have a little more confidence," Bowles said when asked if he believes Revis will be able to return to action Sunday against visiting Tennessee. Marcus Williams, Revis' backup, also sat out practice. He suffered a knee injury in a victory over Miami on Nov. 29 and missed the game against the Giants. "He's going pretty good," Bowles said. "He did some running on the side, too. We'll see later in the week if he can go out and practice." Buster Skrine started at cornerback in place of Revis and Williams against the Giants. BRIEFS: CB Antonio Cromartie (hip) and C Nick Mangold (hand) also sat out practice Wednesday. However, Bowles said it was a "maintenance" day for both players. Both are expected to play against the Titans. WR Brandon Marshall was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week. He had 12 catches for 131 yards and one touchdown in the comeback victory over the Giants. It is the first time a Jets wideout won the award in the regular season since Al Toon in Keyshawn Johnson was so honored during the 1998 playoffs. ESPN NEW YORK Jets' Brandon Marshall: Ryan Fitzpatrick is relentless at texting (Ohm Youngmisuk) ESPN New York FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - Ryan Fitzpatrick and Brandon Marshall might have to improve on their celebrations. But the New York Jets quarterback and wide receiver have their texting game down pat. Marshall said Fitzpatrick starts texting him after games and throughout the week and that has led to their rising chemistry. 9 P a g e

10 Every form of communication that is out there, he uses, Marshall said. Whether it is voice memos, text messages, video chats, group texts, s -- he sends it to us in groups and individually. It s constant. He s relentless. It s worked, though, as evidenced by Marshall s 12 receptions for 131 yards and jump-ball touchdown in the corner of the end zone to force overtime during the Jets victory over the Giants. The week before, Marshall caught nine balls for 131 yards and two touchdowns. He s a very easy guy to throw to, and part of it is his physicalness and part of it is just his smarts, Fitzpatrick said. He has great awareness out there and then the communication factor, it s something we ve talked about all year long, but especially the last few weeks, we ve really been on the same page with the routes and the throws. Marshall said Fitzpatrick will send him video messages of different looks to study and ask what Marshall might see and like. Ninety-percent of it is what he likes or what he wants and tells us what he wants us to do, Marshall said. Ryan Fitzpatrick and Brandon Marshall have developed a good chemistry as the season has progressed. AP/Jeff Haynes Marshall said former quarterbacks such as Chad Pennington and Chad Henne in Miami and Josh McCown in Chicago also stayed in constant contact throughout the week much like Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick noted how technology has made things much easier to stay in touch with his receivers. Technology, back in 2005, wasn t the same as it is today, Fitzpatrick cracked. I used to send stuff on my beeper. [Sending clips to receivers is] something I ve done more here than in other places, and part of it was just kind of our schedules and the way we do things here. Part of it is just having some guys that really understand the game and from a simple clip, can really get on the same page with what I m trying to get them to see. Fitzpatrick was asked if he group-texts Marshall and Eric Decker. The quarterback said he usually sends individual clips to each, but mentioned how he joined the Jets offensive line group text. There is a great O-line group text, Fitzpatrick joked. But that s usually not about football. I snuck my way into that one. Marshall says being in constant communication with Fitzpatrick has produced results. Perhaps they should start texting each other on how to celebrate, as Marshall said things got awkward after the Giants victory and the two ended up almost kind of spooning at the end. We sat there for a second, Marshall said of the end, when Josh Brown missed a 48-yard field goal in overtime. We didn t get up and run on the field; we just hugged each other and he put me in this weird position. It was really awkward. I was like laying on top of him, so I tried to maneuver myself into a better position. It was almost like me on top of him and he was on his back. It was weird. Darrelle Revis does some running but remains in protocol (Oh Youngmisuk) ESPN New York 10 P a g e

11 FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis did some running on the side but has yet to be cleared from his concussion to practice. Revis remains in the concussion protocol after suffering a head injury during a loss at the Houston Texans on Nov. 22. He has missed the past two games against the Miami Dolphins and the New York Giants. Darrelle Revis has been sidelined since suffering a concussion against the Texans on Nov. 22. AP Photo/Julio Cortez Head coach Todd Bowles said the cornerback still has to pass two more tests to be cleared to practice. Bowles also said those tests will not take place before Thursday s practice. However, the mere sight of Revis doing some running is an encouraging sign. I got to see him run, Bowles said when asked how confident he is in whether Revis can play Sunday against Tennessee. He has got to do more practice in order for me to have a little more confidence in him. Bowles said the team wants to see how Revis feels each day before moving forward. If he doesn t have any setbacks and is cleared yes, Bowles said if Revis can play on Sunday. He will do more tomorrow. He ran around today. He will run around tomorrow. And if he can do non-contact drills, we will see what the progression is from there. If he is feeling good, he may be able to practice. If not, he won t. Todd Bowles receives coaching tips from Bill Parcells via text message (Rich Cimini) ESPN New York FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets coach Todd Bowles receives a text message after every game from Hall of Fame coach Bill Parcells, one of his mentors. Most of them are nuggets of coaching advice. Even from a distance, Parcells has the unique ability to read a situation. What he read last Sunday about the Jets resulted in the following text to Bowles: "Everybody is talking playoffs. Just coach the team and worry about the next game." After maintaining their postseason hopes with an emotional victory over the New York Giants, the Jets (7-5) find themselves in a potentially dangerous situation -- a classic trap game. The Tennessee Titans (3-9) are coming to town, so there's always the possibility of a letdown. Bowles' challenge this week is to make sure his team plays with the same intensity it showed during the final 17 minutes against the Giants. That, in essence, was Parcells' message. "I got that text right after the game," Bowles said Wednesday. "I understand what he's saying. To a point, you buy it, but you have to be consistent with your team. You have to do the same things you've been doing. You don't look at it as a trap game. You look at it as the next game." Suffice it to say Bowles won't hang mouse traps from the ceiling in the locker room, as Parcells did a couple of times in his coaching career. Every coach has his own style. Bowles isn't a gadget kind of guy, which explains his every-week-is-the-same approach. 11 P a g e

12 Nevertheless, he appreciated Parcells' "words of wisdom," as he described the texts. During the Jets' 1-4 slump, his text from Parcells went something like: "Nobody remembers midseason losses. It's how you finish." The Jets have won two straight, so they have a chance to finish well, maybe claim their first playoff berth since In the meantime, the texts will continue. "He's not the only one, but it means a lot," Bowles said of Parcells. "Coach [Bruce] Arians reaches out as well. He does a good job talking to me, just keeping me grounded." Rookie QB Marcus Mariota is the real deal; Tennessee Titans are real bad (Rich Cimini) ESPN New York Ten things to know about the Tennessee Titans (3-9), the New York Jets' next opponent: 1. It has been another painful year in Nashville. Let's sum up the Titans' season this way (in no particular order): Six-game losing streak. Three-game losing streak. Coach fired. Marcus Mariota, savior. 2. Ken Whisenhunt, handed a terrible roster, was the scapegoat for a 1-6 start. He was fired on Nov. 3, replaced by offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey on an interim basis. Mularkey is 2-3 and hopes to get the full-time gig, but there's little chance of that happening. The front office already is performing due diligence on potential head-coaching candidates. 3. The Titans snapped an 11-game home losing streak last week with a win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, so they'll be coming to MetLife Stadium in a positive frame of mind. They haven't won back-toback games since Dec. 22 and Dec. 29, 2013, so it'll be a big step if they can beat the Jets. Marcus Mariota has shown he's plenty able to adapt to a pro-style offense, with 19 touchdown passes and only nine interceptions. Andy Lyons/Getty Images 4. Mariota, the second overall pick, has lived up to the hype. He's a smart, tough and athletic, with the ability to make plays inside and outside the pocket. His signature moment came in last week's win, when he beat a blitz and ran for an 87-yard touchdown -- the third-longest run in NFL history by a quarterback. He became the first player in history to pass for 250 yards and three touchdowns and rush for 100 yards in a single game. He accounted for four touchdowns, joining Fran Tarkenton (1961) as the only rookies since 1960 to have three four-touchdown games. Dude can play. 5. Mariota's rise has coincided with Mularkey's promotion. Since Week 9, Mariota's Total QBR is 81.6, second-best in the league. The only player with a better QBR over that span is Cam Newton (82.1), and he just might be the MVP of the league. All told, Mariota has 19 touchdown passes and only nine interceptions in 10 starts; he missed two games due to knee and ankle injuries. Remember all the talk before the draft about whether he could adapt to a pro-style offense? He seems to be managing nicely. 6. There's a stark contrast between the Titans' tight ends and those of the Jets, and that's an understatement. Led by Delanie Walker (67 catches for 800 yards), the Titans lead the league with 104 receptions by tight ends. The Jets are at the bottom with only seven. Walker isn't a conventional tight end in that he often lines up in the slot. 7. The Jets will be facing a Beckham for the second week in a row. This time, it's rookie wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham (no relation to Odell). It has been an inconsistent year for DGB, a second-round 12 P a g e

13 pick who didn't play his final season in college due to off-the-field issues. He was dismissed by Missouri and transferred to Oklahoma, but never played. He's a talent, though. He's 6-foot-5 and he can fly. He's coming off his best game -- five catches for 119 yards and a touchdown. 8. It would be a mistake to sleep on the Titans defense. The unit is coached by legendary defensive mind Dick LeBeau, known as the creator of the zone blitz. Not surprisingly, the Titans have blitzed on 185 snaps, the fifth-highest total in the league, according to ESPN Stats & Information. Led by defensive end Jurrell Casey and outside linebacker Brian Orakpo, they're ranked eighth in yards per game and 21st in scoring defense. Their Achilles' heel is the red zone (65 percent), where they rank 29th. They got lit up last week by Blake Bortles, who threw five touchdowns. 9. The Titans have invested a lot of resources in their offensive line, including two first-round picks (left tackle Taylor Lewan and right guard Chance Warmack). It hasn't help their running game much, though. Their most dangerous threat is Mariota. 10. New Jersey-born rock star Jon Bon Jovi tweeted there's no truth to the rumor that he's interested in buying the Titans. Indeed, Bon Jovi doesn't seem like a Nashville kind of guy. He's rock, not country. Apologetic Willie Colon says look from Todd Bowles 'pierced my soul' (Rich Cimini) ESPN New York New York Jets guard Willie Colon apologized for the most bizarre penalty of the season -- his unsportsmanlike-conduct flag in Sunday's win over the New York Giants. It was bizarre because Colon wasn't in uniform. He's on injured reserve, so he was on the sideline in street clothes. Nevertheless, Colon stepped outside the sideline players' box to bark a few harsh words in the direction of Giants corner Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, who came flying into the sideline while covering an Eric Decker reception. "When that play happened, me and [Rodgers-Cromartie] kind of got in a verbal back-and-forth, if you will," Colon said Tuesday on SNY's "Daily News Live" show. "Decker beat him on the play. He came to me. I've never [been one] to back down. I had some un-christian-like words to say back. The ref saw it." The Jets were driving at the time of the penalty. Fortunately for Colon, the offense restarted and scored on a screen pass to Bilal Powell. "At the end of the day, I'm not there to be a distraction or to hurt my team, and I did, so I feel horrible about that," Colon said. "That'll be the last incident you see from me." Coach Todd Bowles wasn't happy, to say the least. "The look that man gave me, it pierced my soul," Colon said. "Coach, I'm sorry. My team, I'm sorry. And it won't happen again." Before the season, Colon promised himself he'd cut down on his penalties. He was a highly penalized player in 2013 and 2014 and he knew Bowles wouldn't tolerate a flag-filled season. He succeeded, committing only one penalty in six games before landing on the injured reserve list with a bum knee. That's what made Sunday ironic. And bizarre. 13 P a g e

14 Damon Harrison highlights New York Jets' undrafted free agents (Rich Cimini) ESPN New York Undrafted free agents: Dion Bailey, S; Deion Barnes, LB; Jeff Cumberland, TE; Leger Douzable, DE; Damon Harrison, NT; Julian Howsare, FB/LB; Taiwan Jones, LB; Jamari Lattimore, LB; Josh Martin, LB; Ronald Martin, S; Rontez Miles, S; Lawrence Okoye, OT; Chris Owusu, WR; Tanner Purdum, LS; Ryan Quigley, P; Brent Qvale, OL; Wes Saxton, TE; Kevin Short, CB; Julian Stanford, LB; Zach Sudfeld, TE; Kenbrell Thompkins; WR; Darrin Walls, CB; Marcus Williams, CB Starts: Damon Harrison (12), Jeff Cumberland (6), Marcus Williams (3), Leger Douzable (2), Chris Owusu (2), Rontez Miles (1), Dion Bailey (1), Brent Qvale (1), Kenbrell Thompkins (1) Highlights: Damon Harrison is the cream of this crop -- no question. Signed out of William Penn, an NAIA school in Iowa, Harrison developed quickly and became a starter in his second season (2013). He hasn't lost the job and has emerged as one of the best run-stuffing interior linemen in the league. Nicknamed "Big Snacks," Harrison is enjoying his best season and should fare nicely in his first crack at unrestricted free agency -- if he hits the open market. The Jets will make a bid to keep him.... Williams, signed out of North Dakota State by the Houston Texans, also has a bright future. He leads the team with five interceptions, despite having played only 240 defensive snaps. Right now, he is the No. 4 corner, but he could move into a more prominent role next season, depending on Antonio Cromartie, who could be a cap casualty. Williams doesn't have blazing speed, but he is smart and instinctive and has become a favorite of the new coaching staff.... Cumberland began the season as a three-year starter, but his playing time has slowly decreased. He played only two offensive snaps in last week's win.... Douzable and Miles are useful backups. Miles made the biggest defensive play last week by intercepting Eli Manning at the goal line to spark a come-from-behind win over the New York Giants. NEW YORK POST The anti-johnny Manziel: How Marcus Mariota can light up Jets (Steve Serby) New York Post The quickest way for the Jets to come down off cloud nine is to turn on the tape and watch Marcus Mariota play quarterback. Many experts thought the Titans rookie who visits MetLife on Sunday would struggle making the transition to a pro-style system, and they thought wrong. Dream kid, dream franchise quarterback. The biggest thing is you want to contain him, make him be a pocket passer, he can be deadly getting outside the pocket making plays, Jets linebacker Trevor Reilly said. The guy can make plays with his feet, not only running the ball, but when he s outside the pocket, he can extend plays and hit receivers down the field. 14 P a g e

15 When he was a senior at Utah two years ago, Reilly played against Mariota, who was then a sophomore at Oregon. He never thought Mariota would be a project. I thought he was a special kind of player, Reilly said. Obviously they run a different kind of system at Oregon, but he s got a good arm and he s smart and he takes coaching well, so I didn t see it as that big of a learning curve for him as other rookies for that position. Reilly sacked Mariota in Utah s loss to Oregon that day. The Utes stopped Mariota, limited by a knee injury, from running (four carries for -18 yards). But Mariota threw for 288 yards and three TDs. He ended up killing us inside the pocket, Reilly said. He made some deep throws, and blew some coverages, but we were doing pretty well against him in the first half. They took over the game in the second half. Mariota ran for 2,237 yards and 29 TDs in three years at Oregon. Mariota has rushed for 249 yards and two TDs this season, with 20 of his 31 carries having come in the Titans last four games. He s gotten better every game, Jets cornerback Buster Skrine said. He s a guy you have to watch out for. You play certain coverages, he might take off and run because he s a fast quarterback. He s playing more advanced than a rookie. The Jets would have been better served confronting Mariota who has thrown for 19 TDs and nine INTs in 10 games earlier in the season. I feel like I ve gotten better every single week, Mariota said in a conference call. Skrine had asked former Browns teammate T.J. Ward about Mariota during the Heisman Trophy race. Ward, now a safety with the Broncos, played at Oregon before Mariota. They say he s one of those guys who takes coaching very well, Skrine said. He s all-in. He s gonna come in and just be the best he can be every day. Mariota s biggest challenge adapting to the NFL game? Just being under center, he said. The game s a lot tighter, in terms of just everyone s kinda close up on the line of scrimmage, a lot of run-heavy sets different things I wasn t really accustomed to at Oregon, he said. But the coaches have done a great job of helping me through this process, of helping me understand things, and I ve felt comfortable throughout. Mariota revealed himself as the Titans best running threat by virtue of an 87-yard touchdown gallop against the Jaguars. The key? Make him try to beat us with his arm, Sheldon Richardson said. Mariota likes to beat team with his arm by throwing to tight end Delanie Walker. And towering rookie wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham is starting to emerge. It would help Mariota, of course, if Darrelle Revis (concussion) is held out for one more week. For all of Mariota s rookie success, the Titans are 3-9 this season. It does get frustrating at times, it is tough, but it s a part of it, Mariota said. You got to take it, handle adversity as it comes, and understand that it s gonna make this entire team better moving forward, and no matter what, you just kind of stick to the grind and don t get flustered or don t get down on yourself for what s going on, and just understand it s a process and do your best to get better each and every single week. 15 P a g e

16 He is a gym rat who understands the responsibilities of a franchise quarterback. He is the anti-johnny Manziel. I don t think of it as really a job, Mariota said. The real job is not overlooking him. Bill Parcells advice that Todd Bowles won t let Jets forget (Brian Costello) New York Post The text message from Bill Parcells popped up on Todd Bowles phone Sunday night after the Jets overtime win over the Giants. Everybody s talking playoffs, just coach your team and worry about the next game, the text read. The Jets face the 3-9 Titans this week as they come off the emotional win against the Giants. This is the type of game that would always worry Parcells a trap game. He sometimes would hang mouse traps around the locker room before games like this. So, he gave Bowles, the first-year Jets coach, a reminder to avoid the playoff talk circulating in the media and with fans and worry about the Titans. I understand what he s saying, Bowles said. To a point, you buy it. But to a point, you have to be consistent with your team and do the same things you ve been doing. We don t look at any game as a trap game, we look at it as the next game. We ve just got to take care of us. The 7-5 Jets enter the final four games of the season in position to make the playoffs if they don t collapse. They are not quite in control of their playoff fate, but there are not many scenarios that will keep them out if they run the table. But the Jets are stressing that they are not thinking about the postseason, just Marcus Mariota and the Titans coming to MetLife Stadium this week. The way I look at it is they just put up 40 points and the defense is ranked eighth overall, wide receiver Brandon Marshall said. So, it s definitely not a trap game. It s going to be a very difficult game for us. Marshall is right about the Titans having the eighth-ranked defense in the NFL and coming off a win over the Jaguars. But the Titans are 3-9 and that win was their first in four games. Mariota has played well, but he does not have much around him. The Jets have played two of their better games this season in the last two weeks and have been getting a ton of praise. This brings another Parcells phrase to mind, Don t take the cheese. The Jets have said all the right things about taking the Titans seriously and putting the big win over the Giants behind them. We re not a good enough team to overlook anybody, quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick said. We ve got to treat everyone like it s the playoffs, we re in the playoffs right now trying to win each week. I don t think you ll see, hear or feel that out of our team at all. The Jets need to get on a run, which they have not done in a long time, to make the playoffs a reality. They have not won three games in a row since 2011 and have not won four consecutive since At this point, it s about who can get hot, Marshall said. You ve got to take it one game at a time, but when you look back and really study the game, it s the teams who really come together at the end of 16 P a g e

17 November/December. Right now, we won two games, really big games for us, and it s another huge one for us. If we can stay on this roll, no telling what happens. Bowles will be leaning on the advice Parcells gave him Sunday night. Bowles said he hears from Parcells after every game. After losses he has words of wisdom and after wins he wants to press and keep going, Bowles said. The biggest thing in the middle of the season when we were losing, lost four out of five, was, no one remembers midseason losses. It s how you finish. That one stuck out. A welcome sight at Jets practice: Darrelle Revis (Brian Costello) New York Post Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis was able to attend practice Wednesday, the first time he has been at one since suffering a concussion against the Texans on Nov. 22. Revis did not participate in practice, but did some running. Jets coach Todd Bowles said he is hopeful Revis will do more Thursday. He ran around on the side today, so that was encouraging, Bowles said. Revis, who has missed the last two games while dealing with the concussion he suffered while making a tackle, needs to pass two more tests to be cleared from the concussion protocol. Bowles said Revis could play this week against the Titans. If he doesn t have any setbacks and he s cleared, yes [he could play], Bowles said. Revis likely will participate in non-contact drills Thursday before getting cleared to practice Friday if he does not have any setbacks. Guard Willie Colon was penalized in Sunday s game after he got into it with Giants cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie on the sideline. It was a strange sequence because Colon is on IR with a knee injury and not in uniform. The referee flagged him for leaving the area players and coaches are supposed to stay in on the sideline. Colon went on SNY on Tuesday and apologized for the penalty. He said Bowles got his point across to him with the look he gave him after the flag. The look that man gave me, it pierced my soul, Colon said. Coach, I m sorry. My team, I m sorry. And it won t happen again. Bowles laughed when told about Colon s comment Wednesday, and said he did not just give him a look. I felt the need to say something at the time, Bowles said. Yeah, I said some things at the time. Willie, he meant well. He went outside and drifted a little bit. Anytime you see a player on the sideline get a penalty you re going to have a piercing look. The Jets were in pads on Wednesday for the first time in a while. Teams are allowed 14 padded practices during the season. Bowles felt the team could benefit from some hitting Wednesday. We needed it, Bowles said. We wanted to hit. We were rusty. I thought we needed to get better at tackling and point-of-attack blocking, so we can get better at those two things. 17 P a g e
