The New York Jets training camp starts today and I know the only concern with fans is restoring order and gaining back the respect the Jets once had.  Do you remember when the Jets had the best rushing offense and overall defense in 2009? Oh, those are the times I miss.  The Jets have done a lot this year to make them a playoff worthy team again and they have their eye on the prize- the super bowl prize that is.  Even Rex Ryan decided to tone down his well known ‘trash talking’ and had this to say:

“Just because you build something doesn’t mean you will take off from where you were,” Ryan said. “You have to go back to the ground floor, and start again.”

The Jets have also done some more revamping.  On Monday they announced that they traded a conditional 7^th  round pick to the Carolina Panthers for OT Jeff Otah. Another announcement was also made today. That trade is currently in jeopardy as Otah failed his physical.  Tebow, the Jets backup quarterback and first-string personal punt protector, could also be used on the kickoff team. A move I think may or may not work in their favor.  In a way they might be doing too much with Tebow but we will have to wait and see because using him this much can be what is needed.  There was also the tension between the players, more notably with Holmes and Sanchez that derailed the team chemistry last season.  The Jets have been able to look at everything negative to help build a better 2012 season including reviewing their 8-8 record.

Ryan has also made some changes himself, even enlisting a mentor going only by the name of “my little sensei,” which is a Japanese word for a “wise teacher.” Even GM Mike Tannenbaum has seen the change in the team and Ryan’s new mentor; he says sensei is a “special person who has bettered all of us.” One thing I know about the Jets is they always have a way of being the talk around NFL town. Hopefully their new positive environment will last throughout the season. As the Jets work on fixing the rift in the team, Jets fans can only hope that this year is their year.

Veronica was born in Jamaica and raised in Toronto, Ontario so where did her love of Football come from you ask??. Watching the game with her step-dad of course, the minute she seen legends like Jerry Rice and Brett Favre she knew this was her passion. Not only does she love Football, she also has love for other sports like Basketball, Baseball, Boxing and Hockey. Veronica always jokes that Football is her ‘husband’ and Basketball is her ‘mistress’. Graduating with a Marketing degree from Ontario a sports career was the next thing on her ‘To-do list’. It’s her lifelong dream and is definitely on the right track of following her dream and eventually catching it. In her spare time if she’s not watching her favorite channel the NFL Network she’s probably at a game (during the season) or blogging about her first love. Oh and by the way Veronica bleeds green with her favorite team the JETS so if you ever see her out at a game don’t hesitate to chant with her J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!
