We're currently harbouring a massive girl crush on blonde bombshell Amber Heard, after her positively vast repertoire of show-stopping beauty looks over the past few weeks. Demonstrating exactly how not to get stuck in a beauty rut, La Heard seems to glide from downtime to red carpet time with major aplomb. In fact, the whole display is making us feel somewhat sheepish at our lack of daring (must. do. better).
While Amber's beauty looks are admirably varied, taking a closer look at her regime, it's clear that this is a lady who knows what suits her — and sticks to it. Taking eight staple elements, the actress mixes and matches to produce a truly admirable and diverse display of, well, beautiful-ness!
The Retro Curls
A massive trend for Spring/Summer 2012 (we're talking Jean Paul Gaultier, Dior, Jason Wu and YSl, no less), it's clear that Amber has been keeping a beady eye on the catwalks. And she's right to pick up on this one because her flawless alabaster skin, white blonde locks and pretty mouth lend themselves perfectly.
The Red Lip
Nothing makes an entrance quite like a hot lip and Amber has this one down to a T. 'This season it's all about doing away with your liner,' explains make-up pro Mel Arter, 'Trace, and fill in your natural lip shape straight from the lipstick, it's far more modern and youthful.'
California Blowout
What's cuter than a California blowout? With just enough curl and plenty of bounce, it's guaranteed to add an instant injection of glamour to Amber's look.
The Eyeliner Flick
Flicks are big news this season, spotted on the catwalks at Dolce and Gabanna, Jonathon Saunders, Kanye West and Marios Schwab among (many) others. We swear by MAC's Penultimate Eyeliner, £15, for its black-than-black pigment and ease of application.
Keep it Clean
We love Amber's downtime hair. Clean? Bouncy? Shiny? Tick. Tick. Tick. The secret's in the shampoo you know!
The Toffee Eye
Championed for its universally flattering nature, low maintenance upkeep and the fact that it goes with anything, we've got a major soft spot for this one and so does Miss Heard. "Not only are these shades 100% wearable, uber contemporary and super-sexy, they also embody this season's love affair with the retro," explains international makeup artist Wendy Rowe.
Fresh, youthful and oh-so pretty, just be sure to keep lips well-conditioned when going nude! We sweat by Laura Mercier Lip Treatment Kit, £26, which includes an exfoliator and lashings of Lanolips 101 Lip Ointment, £11, too.
Amber, we salute you!

Well, it might be time to admit that I am a bit obsessed with picking fruit in the summertime. Colorful jars of jam are stowed in my cupboards and numerous pounds (and varieties) of berries are tucked in my freezer. I am running out of space quickly and blueberries, marionberries, peaches, and pickles are still waiting for my attention. In the meantime, I will make doughnuts:
What you see above is a batch of organic cherry doughnuts. These were inspired by cherry doughnuts I used to enjoy when I lived in Cleveland's Little Italy neighborhood many years ago. I actually lived down the street from a teeny doughnut shop called Presti's and they had amazing cherry doughnuts. I could smell them from my apartment! Those were the days… Well, actually, I can sometimes smell VooDoo Doughnuts from my neighborhood now, so I guess not much has changed!
Anyway, let's get back to those cherry doughnuts! I adapted a plain cake doughnut recipe from the always entertaining Peas and Thank You blog. I have tampered with several vegan doughnut recipes and I think I finally settled on one that makes me happy. I have made these twice in one week since cherries far outnumber people in my kitchen.
*A few notes about this recipe: I made cherry juice using my juicer. If you don't have a juicer, store bought cherry juice should work, just make sure it isn't loaded with icky ingredients. Also, make sure to really chop those cherries for the doughnut batter! The tinier, the better (you could give a handful of cherries a whir in a food processor to save time). If you have a juicer, use the cherry pulp extracted from your juicer instead of chopping cherries.
Cherry Doughnuts
(recipe adapted from Peas & Thank You)
Ingredients for doughnuts:
3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup oat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
pinch cinnamon, optional
pinch nutmeg, optional
1/2 cup pure cherry juice
1/4 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk (I used almond milk)
1/2 cup unrefined sugar
2 Tablespoons melted coconut oil (any oil would work here, I just prefer coconut oil)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3-4 Tablespoons very finely chopped fresh cherries (use sweet cherries, like Bings)
Ingredients for cherry glaze:
1/2 cup organic powdered sugar, sifted if lumpy
1-2 Tablespoons pure cherry juice
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a 6-count doughnut pan with coconut oil.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flours, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
3. In a glass measuring cup, stir together cherry juice, non-dairy milk, sugar, coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until no lumps remain. Gently fold in the chopped cherries.
5. Spoon batter evenly into doughnut pan.
6. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until doughnuts are golden on top. Remove pan from oven and allow doughnuts to cool in the pan for at least 5 minutes before inverting them onto a cooling rack.
7. While doughnuts are cooling, make the glaze: In a shallow bowl (one that is wide enough to dip doughnuts into) whisk together powdered sugar, cherry juice, and vanilla extract. Add the cherry juice 1 Tablespoon at a time until you reach a consistency you are happy with.
8. Once doughnuts are completely cooled, dip the top half of each doughnut in the glaze and allow them to dry before devouring!
Enjoy! I'll be back soon with a post on homemade pickles!

Hayden Smith Earns the Hampton AwardPosted by on January 15, 2013 – 4:13 pm
Tight end Hayden Smith got a lot of help from a lot of teammates and coaches in his newest sporting endeavor.
But Smith had a good base of his own to build on. Playing basketball in Australia and on the U.S. small-college level, moving on to professional rugby in England and to the U.S. national rugby team, and then graduating in April to an NFL roster shows he knows how to cross-train. And he was a football rookie who certainly knew how to act like a pro in the Jets' locker room this past season.
That last is in fact one of the requirements for the Bill Hampton Award. And Smith this week was informed that he was the ninth winner of the Hampton Award, presented annually by equipment director Gus Granneman and his staff.
"It feels good. We have a great group of equipment people, and I guess they were happy with me in the locker room this year," Smith told me today. "I didn't know specifically about Bill Hampton, but I had seen Josh Baker's jersey hanging in the equipment room, and I wanted why that was. Now I know."
Hampton was the former longtime Jets equipment director who retired to Florida in 2001. Clay, his son, took over running the equipment room then, and remains with the club as the senior director of operations. Granneman has been with the team since '94 as well and has run the equipment room since '06.
Gus said this year's final vote, taken among the five-member staff and the three previous award-winners still with the team — Darrelle Revis, Matt Slauson and, last year, Baker — was the closest since the award was first presented to S Erik Coleman in 2004, with Smith edging rookie DT Damon "Snacks" Harrison by a single vote.
"Hayden had a built-in advantage, being an older guy that had played a professional sport already," Granneman said. "We try to take into account how they are with their teammates, not just the support staff, and a lot of times rookies coming in don't realize that. Hayden was the kind of guy that worked hard and had a positive, friendly attitude every day, whether it was first thing in the morning or he was walking in from the practice field. It's always nice when you have several guys that are deserving of the award, like Hayden and Damon."
Smith, 27, acknowledged the hard work it took to make the transition from rugby to getting that all-important toe- and handhold on an NFL roster.
"It was, I guess, quite a big transition to make, probably mentally more than physically. I had a lot to contend with in really learning the sport and its intricacies, learning the different techniques and coming to terms with exactly what was required," said Hayden, often the last player off the practice field during the season. "Slowly but surely, I became more comfortable as the season progressed."
Smith looked like a big (6'7″, 245), raw rugby player in his first OTA practices in May, but he quickly made adjustments and began looking the part on into training camp. He was a final cut on Aug. 31, cleared waivers and was signed to the Jets' practice squad the next day. In late October he was signed to the active roster.
He got his feet wet with four plays in the home game against Miami on Oct. 28, was inactive the next four games, then played in the final four games, getting in 32 plays for the season. His most noticeable contribution was his 16-yard reception on a behind-the-line throwback from Greg McElroy to convert third-and-9 in the second quarter of the final home game against San Diego. But he said the Jacksonville game two weeks earlier, when he got in half his plays for the season, was quite meaningful to him.
"I got to get in that game and get a little momentum," he said. "It definitely makes a difference, being able to have a few plays on special teams, then a few more on offense. That also gets you to stop overanalyzing things and just getting into the flow."
The Jets, like all teams, occasionally take an extended look at players from other sports. Pete Carroll brought in U.S. World Cup goalkeeper Tony Meola as a potential kickoff man in 1994. Eric Mangini invited college heavyweight wrestlers Cole Konrad and Tommy Rowlands in for tryouts at the 2007 rookie minicamp. Cleveland State basketballer J'Nathan Bullock got a look in Rex Ryan's first offseason as head coach in '09.
Most of them wash out quickly. The fact that Smith has survived through an entire NFL season indicates that the Jets like his prospects and he just might be tougher to run off. But he knows the hard work has just begun. After taking a few weeks to reunite with his old Saracens rugby mates in England, he is now back in Chicago to begin his personal training and will return to North Jersey when the Jets' offseason strength and conditioning program commences in a few months.
"I think going into any of these situations, you have to make a conscious decision that you're going to be a success with it," he said. "If you're not willing to do the work that's required, you have zero chance of success. Obviously, even with the work, it's not guaranteed. Going into it, I knew I had to work as hard as I could physically and academically to give myself any sort of a chance. I felt I've done that this year, just to be in the position where I am now. But it's the same dilemma. I'm going to have to work as hard as I can in the classroom and on the field to continue to progress and get where I want to go."
There are clearly a few goals ahead for the one of the first Aussies to stick in the NFL at a position other than punter. One is to make it onto the Jets' active roster for a full season. And if he's done that, at this time next year he'll get an added bonus. He'll get to vote on the 2013 Hampton Award.

Congrats to Smith. An injury that nobody talks about is Baker's season ending one. He was having a very good camp and it sure looked as if he was going to be a factor in the offense this past year. I think Baker could be a player given the chance. Hope the new GM will bring him back as long as he is fully recovered from his injury.
Shurmur seems like an interesting candidate for the OC job. I would not mind him getting the job.
Maybe they are trying to hire a cap guy along with a GM to get this team headed in the right direction.

In a year where there weren't too many things to feel good about. Hayden Smith is a "Feel Good Story". Hopefully he becomes a legitimate tight end for us for several years to come.

SINCE SHEA …….. im going to call you out here on you salarycap post, a 130 Mill. CAP for every NFL team where did you get that number from, and how do free Agent count against the Salarycap, you guys posting about this stuff need to go read up on it and do your research before you write about it, YOU CANT MAKE THIS STUFF UP.
After your calculation with 20 Mill under the cap, we wouldnt be looking that long for a new GM, and by the way, WHAT ABOUT the Draftpicks shea they cost another 5 Mill to be signed we are not in good shape and the current salarycap for NFL teams is a little over 120 Mill with almost no increase this year, you need to go back to your drawing board, cause THAT AIN'T MAKE NO SENSE.

Good for Hayden but I don't think he's the answer at TE. And I don't think the answer at TE is anything close to the answer for this team, considering we have one of the worst coaches and most likely THE worst starting QB in the league. (Don't take that from me, Spicer, take it from Serby, Lupica, Cimini, Lombardi, and others who've written that of Sanchez or pretty damn close to it in the football press.)
By Antonio H. on Jan 15, 2013 | Reply
I was so excited when Hayden was brought in to get a better look. Maybe Sporano wasn't able to use him as much as he maybe wanted because of the turmoil the offense was going through. I hope he becomes a force in the next year or two and really shines. We Jets fans need something to help us manage through these hard seasons. Mark Sanchez if you read this buddy, I want you to know that you are the reason I started watching football and I was looking at your high school games and college games last night and I thought to myself, man Mark is a baller and what ever it was that hindered all your potential these last 2 seasons is left in your rear view mirror. I know that you have it in you man, show everyone it's your team, show that fire!!

scjoe, other sites report that Popp is still in the running, that Angelo is no longer in the running, and that Rex hasn't been in the early meetings with GM candidates. So as you so rightly acknowledge, it's very hard to say with any certainty what's going on in terms of the hire. What we can say is that when Caldwell turns down a million bucks to move to New York and work in the biggest media market to go to JAX, which has even less talent than us, something's rotten in Florham Park. Like I said to Ira, it's looking like next yr will be more smoke and mirrors while Woody sees if the new GM's worth keeping before he makes the big changes. Doesn't necessarily mean a thing that Woody SAYS he loves Rex — he also said we were gonna keep Tebow.

Jet fan 64, are you really going to sit there and defend Tom Brady?? Really and your a Jets fan? I know he's one of the best but for christs sake, your a Jets fan. You don't have to stand up for Sanchez but at least don't call Brady the greatest QB ever. Your going to keep calling me a 14 year old girl for standing up for Sanchez. There's still guys who stand up for him because they understand the situation he's been put in and at the same time understand he needs to improve a lot, they are just not all on this site. Not saying that you are, but the way you talk about Tom Brady would seem like you are a Patriots fan deep down. I'm sure that will get you worked up.

Call me crazy but I like the Montreal GM, Popp, for us. He just lost his HC to da'bears. He is the top gun in the CFL and could bring some out of the box thinking. The cap man, Kahn from Pitt, is another one who can straighten us out PROVIDED he can bring some draft/personel saavy people with him. Tbomb left us in a mess, talent wise and financially. You rather have the in house choice, Cohen? "If you always do what you've always done, you will always get what you've always gotten."

Karan, sorry, we don't and can't handicap the GM search. My partner Eric Allen has done a few blogs summing up the candidates as others are reporting on them. Otherwise, you'll have to go with the outside reporters to find out who they think is in, who's out and who's the leader in the clubhouse.

Great ! Jets will develop this kid into a viable NFL TE just in time for the Pats to swipe the guy off our BLOATED salary cap!
Anyone have any news on the GM position? OC?
Pat Shurmur (yawn) Look up his stats – his BEST offenses were ranked 20th in the NFL – is this the DANGEROUS offense Rex is blubbering about ?

Best quote of the day so far, from Cimini on the possibility of the Jets hiring a salary cap guy at GM: "To that, I quote former longtime GM Bill Polian, who told Sports Illustrated's Peter King: "Football teams need to be led by football men who know how coaches think, how players think. You can't learn that in business school or law school."
By Allan O'Dane on Jan 16, 2013 | Reply
Hayden Smith is a two year project. Will we even have a decent TE coach to help his development? All of the coaches are jumping ship. So now we are going to hire bottom of the barrel coaches. Great…I wish Woody would just open his eyes and see that just the mere presence of Rex Ryan is scaring off potential coaches and players. Ryan should see that he is hurting this franchise and just step down. Every team is filling up their open coaching spots…while the NYJ still 3 weeks later have no GM. It's a sad, sad time being a fan right now. It's hard to stay positive. This team has a coach and 2 QBs that no GM wants a part of. Whoever mentioned that Mangini would make a good GM right now that doesn't seem like such a bad idea.

Hey DKM, I dont make the stuff up. Log on to jetscap.com for yourself. Click on current 2012 cap page and see where the cap was a tick over 130 million. The 2012 cap was $130 million NOT $120 million. Next years cap will be slightly higher than this past year. Now, our current players under contract for 2013 are projected to earn $147 million IF they all stay on the team. There will be cuts. My no brainer cuts (and there will be plenty of others) will take $35 million off the 147. That leaves $112 against the NEW cap of about 132. There is my 20 mil under the cap. Yes, whoever you sign or re-sign be it draftees or FA's will be added to the 112. So you see, IT DOES MAKE SENSE. What doesnt make sense is how Tbomb left us.
By scjoe on Jan 16, 2013 | Reply
64, I have read the exact opposite, in that Popp was never granted a formal interview and that Angelo is being brought back for still another interview. I don't know! What I do know is it will be at least a year before we can pass any kind of judgement on the new GM. I like Kahn from Pit, cap guy or not. If he works in cohesion with the scouting dept and the HC I think he will be a real find. Time will tell my friend.
By Allan O'Dane on Jan 16, 2013 | Reply
Karen, I read your post all the time. You have great passion for this team…and you seem to stick up for Sanchez quite a bit. Which of course you are entitled too. But I have to call a spade a spade. Tom Brady is ONE of the greatest QB's to play the game. Is he the best ever…if he wins another superbowl it would be hard to agrue that.
Right now my list would go..Brady, Peyton , Rodgers , Brees and Eli. And the scary part is, Brady could possibly when 2 or 3 more titles. I think 64TOM..and I'm not speaking for the man, is just simply stating a fact. He's a diehard Jets fan, and just like everyone here would love to have a Brady-like qb on this team. Love him or hate him you have to respect greatness when you see it on the field.

I have a question for all of the knowledgeable contributors here, regulars etc. Would you have been happier with Woody seeing this organization for what it is and completely cleaning house. Think about it. Cut holmes cut sanchez cut all the old dead weight this year. take all the cap hits you can THIS year so nect year we have the cap room to go out and get some young veterans in free agency and good drafts and build this team up the right way. we know this year is going to be a dud. why not take all the kicks while we are on the ground now so that when we stand back up we are that much stronger. just a theory. why dealy the pain. thoughts

Squirrel – I for one was in favor of NUKING this thing – 2009 and 2010 was our window to win the SB – that window closed and it's time to clean house and rebuild around a core group of players which a NEW GM tells us are worth keeping.
It's becoming more apparent that Rex has taken Woody for a long ride here.
I'd bet my house that Rex is constantly telling Woody "We're so close I can smell it… If Revis and Holmes didn't go down, Blah Blah… We're gonna hit the jackpot in the draft…All Mark needs is a little good QB coaching…We're gonna put the BAND back together… I just got off the phone with Leon and he wants to come back, we can talk to Faneca, hey I heard Kris Jenkins is down to 550 lbs and his old jersey almost fits again"

SINCE SHEA ……. once again i wouldnt write anything about you figures if you would be right but you are dead wrong and need to check your sources comming March the cap for every team in the NFL will be slightly more than a 120 Mill.not a 130 or 132 or 140 or whatever number you can come up with, im also aware of what nyjetscap is posting and it is NOT the money you claim, you need go read up one more time to get your facts straight.
And you right MT left us with a mess ……….

Allen, I agree with your post but as of late I am not comfortable with Peyton being so highly regarded. He is a great QB but he won the same number of SBs as Trent Dilfer. His best accomplishment is the number of playoffs he took his teams to BUT I beleive he is only 10-11/12 less than a 50% success rate. Looking at that winning percentages in playoffs Sanchez is better. THIS IS A JOKE!
Squirrel: Great post! I have been saying that since the season ended. The Jets need more than a bandade. Otherwise we will contine on our current course forever. I can't hear, "Mark gives us the best chance to win" one more time.

If Cohen does not get the GM job and Idzik does I can only hope he makes Cohen his top man on personnel or Bradway. Letting Idzik take over and make personnel decisions would be a huge mistake. Idzik might be good to clear up the cap problems but you can not have him making roster moves he is not fit for that at all. Woody has to get this hire right or it will set back the team 5 years.

since shea ………….. let me break it down for you, the 2012 salarycap was 120.6 mill. plus the carry over from the uncapped year in case of the Jets about 9 mill. thats how we ended up with a limit of about 130 mill.
Of those 130 mill we spend about 126.5 on the Team wich left us with about 3,5 mill under our cap remember other teams had bigger carry overs or lesser. For 2013 the Leauge Cap will be slightly hihger about 121 Mill determent by the end of March.
Now this will be the last year where teams can carry over money saved from the previous season, after that Teams need to meet the minimum Cap requierments set in the new CBA wich was i believe 98%. In case of the jets the carry over for the 2013 season would be 3.5 Mill. contin.
By DKM on Jan 16, 2013 | Reply
The Jets as of right now with all the Salary's kicking in with no cuts for the year, have a Team cap of about 147 Mill.
IF the new leauge cap is about 121 Mill. plus the 3.5 Mill carry over from last year the jets would have a limit of about 124,5 Mill. wich is far from the calculation you been making since shea…………
Further more if the Jets decide to cut the Players you mentioned it would leave them with about 35 Mill in savings wich brings the team to 112 Mill and whole lot of POSITIONS to fill plus the 5 mill you spend on your draft picks….. yeah and not much room to do anything in FA or bring back your own.
By DKM on Jan 16, 2013 | Reply
since shea ……….. come April the most the jets will have to play with come the new leauge year is at best 9 Mill and that is not much considering where the tags are now these days and the needs we we have to adress with all the cuts we are planning, and no hometown discount ( Landry) for certain players.

Allan O same here would love to see Mangini in some sort of role with the jets, im still convinced that he would have done a good JOB here, but i think the NFL wont give him a another chance they just dont like whistle blowers and with the power the Krafts are curently wielding in the NFL, i dont see him ever to get a job again, to bad what a shame.
Dont anybody tell me he didnt do a good Job in Cleveland, nobody does and he got a raw deal there, not even BB and Holmgreen did and both won a SB.

This can only go 2 ways to rebuilding next season, cause way 3 is REX is right wins and we are all just Fans and dont know any better.
Way 1 we get cap guy and he makes it work this year so we can at least field a Team with enough players, so we dont look totaly inept, and come next season we start new OR
way 2 we get a Football guy and the team tanks next year and we start fresh with a new coach either way we start fresh next year.
By scjoe on Jan 16, 2013 | Reply
SQUIRREL, Here is my question, what guarantees do we have that just because they cut all of these players this year and take all the cap hits this year, that there will be any significant upgrades next year? It is going to come down to who the new GM is, and how he, along with the FO and the scouting dept proceed going forward. It COULD be better, then again, it COULD be worse. Going young doesn't necessarily mean upgrading.

Thanks for lining me up, Allan. Karan, I played QB and it took me quite awhile to accept that I wasn't big enough (or good enough) to get too far. I've watched QB play for over 50 yrs now. In fact, I just sent my Raider fan pal a clip from youtube called The Mad Bomber: Daryl Lamonica in which my favorite non-Jet player ever, deep-threat extraordinaire Warren Wells, shines like the gifted player he was. So believe me when I tell you: Anyone who can watch Brady week in, week out, year in year out, and not simply be awed in the face of how well this guy does everything at the position is foolish or biased or just plain nuts. And he rallies his team like Sanchez never will ours, right down to shaking his fist at Rex on the sideline after a TD.

scjoe, today they're saying Angelo's not back for a 2nd int. But I just got off the phone with Arte, who hopes and think it's Khan because he thinks he'll be tough with Revis, Holmes, Sanchez, and everybody else we can't afford to overpay, and I have a somewhat positive take on the situation. If it's Cohen, he's easy to fire in 1 yr if things get worse. If it's Idzik or Khan, they're not taking the job unless they're given a 3-yr deal or so, so that works. Younger guys like that, rather than older guys like Polian or Angelo, will have no problem waiting a yr to fire Rex and cut MS, and they'll barely know their way around Florham Park by the time we're 3-7 next fall. That said, I'm all in with SQUIRREL's view that we go scorched earth NOW!

I hope the new OC will be the Eagles former OC, Stanfords OC or even Hue Jackson and I hope they can fix Mark Sanchez and get him his confidence back. I bet Cam Cameron will get the job knowing the Jets, they'll probably hire another another Baltimore or Miami leftover. Seeing how the Ravens offense struggled at times under Cameron, I really hope we don't fall into that same category. Those miserable years of Schotty as the OC were enough.
By Karan on Jan 16, 2013 | Reply
Heck even Ken Whisenhunt would be a good candidate for OC, he has a pretty good offensive mind. I would love to have Tom Moore most of all but think he will be going to Denver if not retiring for good. I mean the guy is great, the Jets were the number one Red-zone offense in the league last season under his belt, and even with MS at QB. Thats just a little indication that even if the QB plays bad or not, coaching still counts a lot!

It doesnt have to be crash and burn next year. If we add a good OC, O line, TE and OLB to our mix, we could be ok until we get a real QB. Re-sign Braylon on the cheap along with Keller. Then, if the O line can protect and open running and passing lanes, our so-so RB's can do ok and even our headcase QB might be able to do something if he is still here. Otherwise, McElroy can move the team if he isnt getting his butt kicked in. Dont waste resources on bringing in Alex Smith or somebody like that. Get Teddy Bridgewater next year and learn from your Sanchez mistakes. Develop the dam kids!!!!

DKM, Shea, Spicer, etc. Here is a pretty accurate account of the 2013 cap figures from what I can see. The Jets are at 147 mil, the 2013 cap is expected to be about 121 mil. That's about 26 mil over. They can easily cut about 35 mil off the top just with cuts of players that no one will really miss. That will put them at about 10 mil under. More then likely, but no guarantees, there will be some restructures to free up even more. What does all of this mean exactly? It means, to me anyway, that this 2013 draft, (and undrafted FA signings) will be more critical then any other in recent memory. There is not that much room for any significant FA signings. Want to get even more depressed? NE is 19 mil UNDER! Hardly seems fair, does it?

Here's a post from Cimini's story on ESPN about Scott that I like: "The true measure of a fan is when they don't support stupidity and demand better from their team. Could this year be any more ridiculous? So we say "Good job guys, we'll get them next yea.r" Are you kidding? Hammer them, make them think they have seen the last dollar from you until they fix it. Keeping Rex was not a good start." Couldn't agree more with all that as it goes back to the quote I posted last week that "Power never cedes anything without a demand."

since shea, I agree about not wasting time or money on Alex Smith, Vick, or anyone like that, though Flynn intrigues me if he can be gotten cheap. And of course I agree about using and developing the kids. But the way the NFL works these days — and the way a lot of things work in America these days, with the top, the bottom and not a whole lot in the middle — the second you're out of the playoffs you may as well unload the bench and not care if you win or lose. 8-8 or 6-10 is worthless, you may as well go for 2-14 and draft higher. And I don't want to hear how that might depress the team because the team is at least 25% different every yr anyway.

Smart stuff from Heath Evans on the NFL site: "If we've learned one thing this season in the NFL, it's that you can't expose your franchise QB to vicious and violent hits. I'm sure the RG3 phenomenon is adding to the Chip Kelly hype but Robert Griffin III was knocked out of a game three times — once by concussion, once from a brutal hit from Baltimore Ravens nose tackle Haloti Ngata, and a final time in the playoffs that required surgery and puts his NFL future in jeopardy. The game is constantly changing in small ways, but the basis of championship football will always be physical and mental toughness in the NFL, not gadget offensive schemes." The only guys who don't seem to know this are Rex, Bennett, and all those Brad Smith fans…

Karan, sorry I mis-spell on your name. I would say Brady is the greatest qb playing right now. Greatest ever? In my opinion that title goes to Montana. But if Brady wins 2 more SB's then the torch will be passed on.
Joe-Retired- good to have you back brother! When the NYJ went to those 2 AFC championships games alot of those guys were mangini picked players. So the man can evaluate players and his attention to detail only rivals Bill Belichek.

I can endure 2 years of rebuilding if I saw all the right players in place. If I saw a young qb with all the talent in the world to be great. A WR that teams will have to double team at all times. An Off.line that will bury you and pound into submission (like Bama did to ND) sorry ND fans. A TE that defenses will have no answer. A defense that will cause Off.Coords. to lose sleep. I will tolerate rebuilding just the way 49ers fans did and look at the product now….
ScFromNY..Peyton should be #2..by his accomplishments alone. Look at that Denver-Ravens game. When the most cerebral QB to ever play the game puts up 35+points..it was Denver's defense that couldn't come up with the big stop. The D let the denver fans down.

I understand that this means absolutely nothing, but Mel Kiper put up his first mock for 2013 and have the Jets selecting Barkevious Mingo (6'4″ 242lb DE, LSU) I have always had respect for Kiper, and the research he puts into his process, but he is actually talking about Mingo as a DE! not to be converted to a 3-4 OLB. Mr Kiper, helllllo, with Wilkerson and Coples the last thing this team needs in the 1st round of the draft is a 242 lb 4-3 college DE to play a 3-4 DE in the NFL. And please, new Jet GB, don't get any ideas of picking this guy with the intention of turning him into a 3-4 OLB (see Vernon Gholston)
By scjoe on Jan 17, 2013 | Reply
Just a follow up on that last post. It may be in the Jets best interest to go with a conventional 4-3 in 2013 and either move Wilkerson inside THEN go with a guy like Mingo to play outside along with Coples, OR, stay with Coples and Wilkerson outside and go with an OLB like Jarvis Jones or Arther Brown in rd #1 then RB/QB and OL in 2,3 and 4, add that to a competent OC and everything else will fall into place (somewhat) 64, Gary?

Hey Bills Jets, your point about win now baby is exactly what is wrong with this franchise. How did the last four years work out for you? If it takes four years to build a championship caliber team with smart drafting and less over the hill fa signings, than what is the difference? At least the team would be younger, faster and more competitive than what we've seen the last two years.

All the Matt Flynn fascination here baffles me – There's nothing remarkable about the guy, 7th round pick, pedestrian arm strength, not big or fast or athletic. He had ONE (1) good game a couple years ago against the worst pass defense in the league. He's a system guy, GB had too many weapons for a depleted Lions defense to deal with and Flynn has parlayed that ONE game into a sort of NFL myth. Greg McElroy is probably better than Flynn – though in my opinion G-Mac was hopelessly exposed for what he is – a national title winner in college who didn't quite have the GUN to play in the NFL.
Flynn is one really bad game away from the NFL Trivia Board Game

Which one of you guys was it who once said that some of these alleged NFL analysts are little more than glorified fans and that their picks on things like the draft aren't necessarily to be taken all that seriously? Probably more than one of you, and Kiper's prediction that the Jets will pick Mingo supports that view. That's not a rap on you, Karan, for singling out Mingo, a solid player, a few weeks ago, and I'm sure he could work in someone's scheme. But if there's anything we're not gonna do, it's pick another undersized DE who has to be converted to LB, and I'd think Rex would be particularly wary of doing that. I hope he is, anyway, since his record for developing all these D guys he's picked is nothing to write home about.

There's a story today on the NFL site about Aaron Rodgers saying that the read-op thing will pass but the athletic QB will stay. I actually like these posts to that article even more than I like what Rodgers said: "Injuries will be too much to handle at the QB position for the salaries. The running QB's will be extinct again in about 2-3 years." "I think they're already figuring it out, and it's quite simple. Hit the Quarterback. I know that sounds dirty, but that is exactly what teams will do and have done." Yes, as I said when Rex had the brilliant idea of lining up Sanchez, who's had two knee operations and one on his shoulder, at WR…

We are trying to figure out how much cap room we have, who we can draft and sign as FA and whether or not we should crash and burn. What we really havent talked about is REVIS!! I dont see us having the money to sign him or rework his deal. So he is gone? Or do you cut Santonio (saving $1 mill on the cap but Woody pays big dead money out of pocket to him) and give Santonio's salary to Revis? Tell you what….. Woody better make the hire of his life here. A GM who can manage this cap mess and add talent. Who is that? Kahn and another real talent guy working together?

Driving Nails Into Love of Rex Theory, GaryC, just for you: So Turner goes to CLE and Whisenhunt goes to SD. Is anyone really that surprised that the best OC candidates aren't too interested in our awful team with its outdated HC, overhyped and overpaid bust of a QB, and woeful neglect of the WR position for yrs? Ira, the franchise would not be the same without your support of it for decades. But when you casually said two yrs ago during the Holmes/Edwards/J-Co crisis "I don't think the Jets will pay that kind of money for a wideout," as if "a wideout" is a ball boy, I knew how behind the times the Jets and some of their fans are. Without QBs and wideouts, my friend, you may as well not even bother suiting up in today's NFL.

But what's really interesting is the column they link to on Sundquist's own website from March 2012, in which he sounds the alarm about Sanchez and Tebow no later than a lot of us did. Particularly interesting is how he says in no uncertain terms how Sanchez has not measured up — again, that's Sundquist talking BEFORE this yr's debacle — how every aspect of his game is questionable, and how the Jets haven't developed him very well. All the stuff I cite all the time about why Rex must go — and sorry, I'm not gonna stop doing that till he's gone, Spice.

Allan – In the Denver/Ravens game Manning only put up 21 pts. Remember they got 2 TDs on a KO and Punt. I would argue that the game manager Flacco
actually outplayed Manning that day, throwing for 3 TD's No Int's including that huge 70 yard TD to send the game to OT. Flacco stock skyrocketed after that performance – Manning is developing a reputation for epic meltdowns in the heat of the playoffs.
Squirrel – Yes, I agree with Taylor's assessment of Rex Ryan. Sadly those types of coaches wear out their welcome when losses pile up.

SQUIRREL, blowing up can be taken a lot of ways. I for one think there is still a strong foundation of players here with Mangold, Brick, Revis, Cro and Harris. But unfortunately this is a QB league and that is just not good enough. The GM decision is huge. GM ultimately makes the choices if the owner stays out of it. The Jets have drafted poorly in last 5 years and are suffering now because of it. They made foolish contract negotiations and bad FA pick ups. If Jets finish below 500 again Rex will be gone and it will be new GM's team to mold. To answer the question, NO but Sanchez has to sit. I would rather start Tebow or G Mac at this point.

And yet, here was a guy in their own back yard who they never called?As for Kiper, his picks tend not pan out as he predicts.If you go back & check his moc's they tend to differ greatly from his predictions.

I do believe with proper coaching and reinforcing from his peers he would be fine.He's actually a lot like the kid N.E picked last year Chandler Jones. My guess is Mingo wont be picked until the mid-1st rd as other players will move up as the draft process progresses. An example of this would be Deon Jordan from Oregon who at 6-6 255 is another guy who teams could play at either OLB or DE. I also like the idea of playing more 4-3 on D as it suites our personall.BYRDMAN- agree 100% about Flynn or even A.Smith.

Let's try to be AHEAD of the curve of misery this time, okay? Instead of worrying how Leon does on his next KO? Hear ya on Kiper, Ronbo, the guy's in another universe if he doesn't think what counts is getting this team an O that averages at least 30 pts a game.

Once the smoke cleared and NE got their wrist slapped for Spy-Gate, sports pundits started to paint Mangini as the BAD guy for "snitching" on his former boss.
Had Ryan started slow here in NY, say he went 6-10 his first year, then progressively got better each year and we hit the AFC champ. game in 2012 – most rational Jet fans would agree – "Yeah look how Rex is building this team in his image, with his kind of players" Sadly – the opposite happened >>

I remember one game he said "I didn't know we called that play"? Really?? Rex doesn't pay attention to detail like this for the WHOLE team. He had no clue what was going on in HIS lockeroom? That's inexcusable for a NFL coach. Especially if he had "HIS" guys in there. Rex is doing the samething to sanchez as woody has done to him..coodling him and not making him to take accountability

How can you get a raise and ext. by having a sub-par season in 11′ and a losing season in 12'? Now Sanchez has been the worst QB in the past two years and yet he gets more $ and an ext.? This is crazy you don't award mediocrity.

The Jets are interviewing former Browns coach Pat Shurmur for their offensive coordinator opening on Friday.
Shurmur would bring a West Coast system to the Jets, a departure from Tony Sparano's spitball offense. Mark Sanchez's inaccurate passing would be a poor fit in Shurmur's system. The Jets will almost certainly pursue a major quarterback upgrade in the spring. Rex Ryan is guaranteeing Sanchez nothing for 2013.

Jets hired former Seahawks VP of Football Administration John Idzik as general manager.
Although Idzik dabbled in personnel evaluation under John Schneider and Pete Carroll in Seattle, his primary strength was salary-cap management, similar to old Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum. The Idzik hire means coach Rex Ryan should have almost complete control over the Jets' roster, which will be viewed in many circles as a risky proposition. Ryan is a football coach, not a scout. And Idzik isn't a scout, either. The Jets' roster has deteriorated so suddenly over the past 3-4 seasons because they've struggled mightily with player evaluation

Jets hired Marty Mornhinweg as offensive coordinator.
Mornhinweg spent the past seven seasons as Andy Reid's offensive coordinator in Philadelphia. He will replace Tony Sparano's spitball offense with a West Coast, pass-first system that will be very different from what the Jets have run in recent years. Mornhinweg's hire will be less impactful than the offensive roster moves the Jets make this offseason. They need better players. If Michael Vick is released by the Eagles, as expected, it will be interesting to see whether he reunites with Mornhinweg in New York. The NY Daily News reported in mid-December that Jets head coach Rex Ryan "loves" Vick.

How would Randy's "Radar" nation feel if Vick comes to town?

Spicer, Marty Mornhinweg was our OC long ago, just in case you didn't already know, without much success… Allan O'dane, it's still all opinion yours or mine, I still say give him another year, without Sanchez was my whole point in giving him that year.. with Sanchez it won't matter who the coach, we will repeat last season.. Who would you have replace Rex ? another rookie Head coach .. no thanks

PLEASE, do not even think about bringing in Vick… He is not the answer and will only hinder this organization in finding a qb of the future. How long does anyone think Vick's career will last? Bringing in a veteran on the downside of his career, and who by the way is injury prone, would prove that the Jets have not changed their philosophy on how to build a team. The thought of Vick coming to the Jets makes me ill.

Crit's not bad exactly, but almost everything is better unless you completely ignore survivabilty for the sake of DPSHere are a few sims of myself shifting my stats out of parry (i run a full parry setup as standard)
normal me: 339481 dps, 57181 dtps, 7547.5 TMI, 12.5 RPS, SBuptime 65.06%
10K Crit from parry: 340270 dps, 69603 dtps, 28391.9 TMI 12.1 RPS, SBuptime 61.95%
10K Mastery from parry: 297999 dps, 58934 dtps, 5346.9 TMI 12.2 RPS, SBuptime 66.11%
Results show that their is a 0.3% dps increase if one prefers Crit over parry, but this also leads to a fourfold increase in TMI. Putting the 10k form mastery into parry drops the DPS by 12%, but drops the TMI by almost a third
The RPS results clearly show that any build will have sufficent rage to attain maximum shield block uptime, and have nigh equal amounts amounts of excess rage to burn, which directly contradicts Icy-Veins's stament that stacking Mastery "will cause you to struggle to maintain high shile block uptimes" The results would indicate that if the mastery build struggles for shoield block uptime the crit build would struggle slightly more and the parry build would struggle slightly less. In fact if directly look at the Sb uptimes we can see that the Mastery build manages to have the highest uptime
I would suggest this is probably becuase Mastery has the lest spikes and they tend to be smaller in magnitude, and thus do not trigger the "ohshiti'mgonnaDIE!!" Sbar response which is much more disruptive to using SBlock on CD than 0.1RPS difference, which eqautes to 1 more Sbar every 10 minutes.
My own expierience in 5.0 in 463 blues when SS was 15 rage and Rev 10, is that attaining maximum Sblock uptime is possible with just capping hit and exp, if you never press Sbar.
