Antonio Allen Waived by Jets: Latest Details, Comments and Reaction by Mike Chiari (Bleacher Report)

Jets notebook: Todd Bowles discusses injured secondary by Kristian Dyer (New York Metro)

"“They said he came out towards the end, but he practiced most of it. He thought it was a sprain so he kept going,” Bowles said. “I think when they finally pulled him out after all was said and done, we didn’t know about it until he got X-Ray’ed and everything else. He had to get surgery.”"

3 things we learned from Jets camp: Antonio Cromartie burned in practice by Seth Walder (New York Daily News)

Jets’ camera-shy top pick eyes being ‘better than’ J.J. Watt by Steve Serby (New York Post)

Six Flashes: McDougle Gets Hands-On Coaching by Jamir Howerton (NewYorkJets.com)

"“Coach Bowles told me I was too far off the ball,” McDougle explained to me. “He said in the red zone you want to move up a little closer to the ball so you have room to get your feet moving. Because if you are too far off, you don’t want to back up too far into the red zone. I was standing flat-footed and off [Owusu’s] break I couldn’t move. So I got a little closer and I got my feet moving and after that it was lockdown. I’m going to start using that technique for now on.”"
