Favre showed his risky side with rainbows downfield last year with the New York Jets. But his focus on precision and putting a talented offense in position to score - rather than doing it all himself - is a progression that began a few years ago with the Packers under coach Mike McCarthy. As Favre has aged, his style has evolved. |

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) -New York Jets cornerbacks Lito Sheppard and Donald Strickland have been ruled out for the team's game at New Orleans. Sheppard, who has a strained right quadriceps, and Strickland, who has a high right ankle sprain, haven't practiced or played since being injured in New York's victory over New England in Week 2. ``I was hoping we'd be able to get them back and they are doing a lot better,'' coach Rex Ryan said Friday. ``They're running, but they're not ready to go 100 percent. |

Tennessee opened this season with Super Bowl aspirations, but close losses to Pittsburgh, Houston and the New York Jets have the Titans reeling. ``No one wants to start off 0-3, but you have to be realistic, you have to look at it, you have to sort through it, get past each week and just do the best you can to get ready to win the next ballgame,'' Fisher said. ``Yo |

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) -New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis and safeties Kerry Rhodes and Jim Leonhard fully participated in practice and appear set to play against the New Orleans Saints. It was encouraging news for the Jets on Thursday after Revis (hamstring) and Rhodes (knee) were limited Wednesday, while Leonhard (knee) didn't practice. The Jets will surely need all three starters Sunday against Drew Brees and the Saints' top-ranked offense. Cornerbacks Lito Sheppard (right quadriceps) and Do |

| New York, NY (MySportsbook) - New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez and Detroit Lions safety Louis Delmas have been named NFL offensive and defensive rookies of month for September. Sanchez, the fifth overall pick in the 2009 draft out of Southern California, helped the Jets to a 3-0 record. He became the first rookie quarterback to start and win his team's first three games since Cincinnati's Greg Cook did so in 1969. Sanchez completed 49 of 83 passes overall for 606 yards and four touchdowns, with two |

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) -Mark Sanchez realizes it wasn't the safest move to dive headfirst into the end zone after taking a hard hit. The New York Jets rookie quarterback still wouldn't change a thing about it. ``I think it was important for the guys to see that,'' Sanchez said Wednesday. ``To let them know what kind of player I am and how important it is to me and how much I care.'' On the Jets' opening drive Sunday against Tennessee, Sanchez dropped back and looked for an open receiver. Not seeing |

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) -New York Jets wide receiver David Clowney is calling his benching by Rex Ryan for complaining about playing time a ``minor misunderstanding'' because the coach didn't see the entire message on Twitter. Ryan said his decision to sit Clowney against Tennessee on Sunday was only partially fueled by the receiver's tweet that he saw limited action in the victory over New England in Week 2. Clowney said Wednesday that Ryan was given only the first half of his tweet, in which he said |

| (MySportsbook) - The toughest task facing the New York Jets this weekend is figuring out which New Orleans Saints team to get ready for. Will they be facing the Drew Brees-led air attack that accounted for six passing touchdowns in Week 1? How about a Week 2 version of the Saints that carried the ball 29 times for 133 yards and two rushing touchdowns? New Orleans has thrown a third version into the mix as well, a defensive- minded squad that held the Buffalo Bills to just seven points in a 27-7 victory th |
