2006 Jets Football

Now take a look at our 2008 New York Jets Predictions!

You might not recognize a lot of faces for the 2006 Jets football team, because it was a major off-season overhaul.  Last season was supposed to be a promising one for the Jets as they finished just a field goal shy of making the 2004 AFC Championship game with a shot at the Super Bowl.  It ended with a lot of injuries and a very ugly team on the field finishing with a 4-12 record.  The team sent Herm Edwards packing along with general manager Terry Bradway and brought in some young, fresh faces.  The new coach is Eric Mangini who spent time learning the ways of winning in the NFL from Bill Belichick in New England and the new GM spent time learning from Bill Parcells, but both are under the age of 37, babies by NFL standards.  It'll be interesting to see if their experience under a couple of hall of famers can translate into victories for the Green team from New York.

A lot of players made an exit in the off-season as well, most notably Ty Law, who set a franchise record with 10 interceptions from the cornerback position.  The team also lost Kevin Mawae at center, John Abraham at defensive end, and Wayne Chrebet at wide receiver.  The team did add some much needed depth after the disaster that was the quarterback position last year when they got Patrick Ramsey from Washington and filled up Law's spot with Andre Dyson from the Seattle Seahawks.  The team's only big names returning for the 2006 Jets football season is Curtis Martin, Chad Pennington, and Jonathan Vilma. 

When you take a look at the offense you will find that this team is lacking in a lot of categories.  There is a big question mark at the quarterback position as Chad Pennington is recovering from another shoulder operation.  Can he regain the form he had during his most successful years?  That will be up for debate, but the Jets got Ramsey from Washington just in case.  Ramsey has now been in the league for four years, but lost his starting job to Mark Brunell under Joe Gibbs at Washington.  If he gets the chance he might prove to be worthy of a starting position, but we doubt he'll turn into a Pro Bowler.  The running back position is not looking very good either, with Curtis Martin starting to show his age and how tired legs become as an NFL rusher.  They don't have a lot to back him up either.  Wide receiver might be the best offensive position with Laveranues Coles being a legitimate threat, but Justin McCareins didn't show much to the Jet faithful last season. 

We wish we could provide a more positive outlook on the 2006 Jets football defense, but it doesn't look to promising here neither.  The line lost a big name in John Abraham that it didn't fill in free agency and it'll be up to Shaun Ellis to step up his play and live up to his potential of being a first round draft pick in the 2000 draft.  At linebacker you have one of the best in the league with third year man Jonathan Vilma out of Miami, but the position is thin outside of him.  The secondary lost Law, but at least got a viable replacement in Dyson.  The two young safeties got solid time playing with each other last season, so we will see if that experience can pay off with improvements this year.

The outlook of the 2006 Jets football season is pretty dim, but if management can be patient these young guns running the show could be able to turn things around in a few years.  The Jets need Chad Pennington to perform up to his potential, especially with Martin slowing down.  Don't expect the Jets to make the playoffs this season, but you are more likely going to find them being an easy target for the teams in the AFC.  Still a 7-9 record isn't going to be out of the question, so we'll be taking the Over 6 wins at Bookmaker.
