Did Buster Skrine say the Jets have a ‘Dream Team’ on defense? by Rich Cimini (ESPN)

"“I’ve never played on a defense with this much talent,” Skrine said. “Our front seven has all-stars and then in the back end, we have all-stars. I’ve never seen anything like this. Everybody said the Philadelphia Eagles were going to be like the Dream Team, but we have chemistry on this defense already, and you can see it out in practice.”"

Catching up with four players from Jets’ imperfect ’10 team by Rich Cimini (ESPN)

Quarterback Jake Heaps looking to latch on with the Jets after rough road to NFL by Kristian Dyer (New York Metro)

"“At the end of the day I’ve just been focused on me, focused on what I’m doing each and every day. That’s what helped me up to this point. Not worrying about things I cna’t control. Not worried about roster decisions. If I go out there and perform the way I know I can, the way I know I can play, then I’ll let the chips fall where they may,” Heaps said."

Knee Injury Also Hurts Finances of New Jet by Tom Pedulla (New York Times)
