That, he promised, will be his last bold Joe Namath-type proclamation."I’ve already gotten in trouble for saying some things about playoffs and things, which I don’t regret," Smith said Sunday on Sirius XM Radio. "I don’t think I’ll go as far as being as bold as Joe was."Could Rex Ryan have gotten to his new quarterback and explained how those blustery pre-season predictions can come back…

- WR Zach Rogers Spotlight: Mobile, Great Hands
Zach Rogers is an UDFA (Undrafted Free Agent) wide receiver signee, coming out of the University of Tennessee. Rogers landed onto the Jets squad after the signing of many other UDFA's. Scouts have praised Rogers for his play at Tennessee, some even expected him to get drafted. Although Zach Rogers wasn't a big time breakout player at UT, he was arguably the most consistent receiver on the team. Even alongside receivers Cordarrelle Patterson and Justin Hunter.Let's start with criticism...Rogers is no doubt one of the smaller guys at receiver (6', 182 lbs). This could be the "life and deat…

- Geno Smith looks to shed 'Diva' label
New York Jets rookie QB Geno Smith has had, shall we say, some missteps from the time he was waiting in the green room of April's draft to about right now.But for him, it's time to sit down and talk candidly and intelligently to the media, and show them that he's not what everyone is saying he is - cellphone-obsessed prima donna who thinks he's better than he really is."I've already gotten in trouble for saying some things about, you know, playoffs and all that stuff, which I don't regret," Smith told Alex Marvez on SirisuXM NFL Radio.

- Geno takes a beating before a snap
