"The Best Is Yet To Come"

NEW YORK, NEW YORK:

The Jets climb to 2-3 after a 28 to 14 victory over the Miami Dolphins. Coach Sinatra sounded optimistic in his post game presser, "Still it's a real good bet, The best is yet to come". 

Rookie Brett Favre had one of his better games on the year, completing 17 of 20 passes for 241 yards and 3 scores. Favre did throw one interception in the first half forcing the ball to Kenny Golliday. Golliday seemed to be disgruntled this week in practice following a lackluster game with minimal targets. Sources close to the team reported Golliday discussing his role with the offense and wanting more targets. Golliday ended the day with 6 catches for 78 yards, not the stat line he hoped for we imagine, but productive nonetheless. 

Another major storyline was the benching of Breshad Perriman. Perriman had served as the team's de facto second outside threat with rookie Dave Malone lining up mostly in the slot. Coaches declined to comment on Perriman's benching for Dede Westbrook, besides praising Westbrook for his 4 catches for 98 yards and 2 scores. Sinatra said "Dede has been working hard at practice and it showed with his execution today". It'll be interesting to see if the Jets move on from Perriman so quickly after signing him this past offseason. There have been rumors of Jacksonville's interest in the deep threat as a weapon for rookie sensation Denard Robinson. 

The Jets will host the New England Patriots next week in their attempt to get back to .500 on the year. The Jets defense seems to be hitting their stride with two good performances back to back. If Favre and the offense can continue to avoid mistakes and costly turnovers, the Jets are primed for a wildcard run.
