Damien Woody News

New York Jets players comment on their 31-14 loss to the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium on Sunday, November 22, 2009.

This has not been the most pleasant week for the Patriots . The fourth-and-2 in Indianapolis has been replayed on TV more than "I Love Lucy," Bill Belichick has faced more bullets than Jack Bauer, and their AFC East lead is just one game over Miami after losing to the Colts .

Before the 2008 season, the New York Jets spent an inordinate amount of money to improve their team, signing Alan Faneca, Calvin Pace, Damien Woody, and Ty Law.

Last night, Jets RT Damien Woody, a guy known well around here, fell ill and was added to the team's injury report.

Before we get to the six-pack analysis, a tiny bit of news: The Jets added RT Damien Woody to the injury report tonight as probable.

Mike Westoff said in his press conference yesterday that he is considering letting Dwight Lowery or Brad Smith return kicks instead of ...

THE men who play for Rex Ryan should be ashamed of themselves. Maybe if all of them cared as much as their rookie head coach does, had as much pride and passion as he does, they wouldn't be The Team That Talks The Talk But Does Not Walk The Walk.

Rex Ryan stepped to the podium and motioned for a staffer to hand him something.

I want you to know that I tried. I thought long and hard, looked far and wide, searched up and down.

Man, it's nice to be Tony Sparano today. Look at the other AFC East coaches: 1. You know Jets coach Rex Ryan has been whiny this year.

Who said there's no crying in football? The Post has learned that Jets coach Rex Ryan, with his team gathered before him for the morning meeting yesterday in the wake of the previous day's devastating 24-22 loss to the Jaguars, delivered an impassioned speech to his players that was so emotionally-charged it brought himto tears.

Rex Ryan's big talk and bold declarations set him up for the heavy criticism he's taking as the New York Jets' season continues to spiral.

The setup for the question to Braylon Edwards went like this: The Jets had a winning record when they traded for him, but since then they've slipped back to .500. "Oh, so it's my fault," Edwards said.

THOMAS JONES is an iron tank with an iron will, 220 pounds of pride and passion and swagger who stands up unflinchingly to the violent mayhem of sadistic behemoths, who keeps coming as if he were the Smokin' Joe Frazier of the NFL, so strong of body, mind and spirit that when fatigue makes cowards of them all, Jones is no longer the hunted, but the ...

For the Jets, the playoffs begin Sunday. Sure it's just November and there are no postseason checks coming to Jets players with a win over the Jaguars Sunday at Giants Stadium.

Although there are still eight games remaining, the Jets know the importance of Sunday's matchup with the Jaguars .

The Jets yesterday returned to work after their six-day, bye-week hiatus much the same way they left -- a bit subdued from their 4-4 first half.

THE Jets left their practice facility at Florham Park, N.J., yesterday afternoon ready to take a week-long vacation where getting away from football has been encouraged, but might be hard to achieve.

A second loss to the Dolphins in three weeks left the Jets eating many things, including their tough-talk words -- everyone, that is, except linebacker Bart Scott, who dripped with so much sarcasm afterward he probably needed extra towels for the ride home to keep his seat dry.
