NEW YORK (AP) -The New York Jets' defense faced a key third-down play early in the third quarter and safety Kerry Rhodes waved his arms to urge on the crowd to make some more noise. Too bad there was nobody in the stands. It was one of the more amusing sights Sunday as the Jets played an intrasquad scrimmage on the ``road'' at Fordham University's tree-lined Coffey Field, a game that was closed to the public.

He gained 647 yards last year, convincing management it was time to make him the featured running back. So the club dealt Thomas Jones to the New York Jets even though he ran for more than 1,200 yards each of the past two seasons.

(AP) -Michael Haynes spent last football season recovering from a back injury while his former team played its way to the Super Bowl. ``I'm very happy that it is behind me,'' a smiling Haynes said earlier this week after practicing with the New York Jets. ``This year, I'm just very happy with so many things.''

The free-spirited Miller is staying loose and confident in training camp while trying to win the starting job at right cornerback. ``Ultimately, that's the decision of the coaches,'' Miller said after the first of two practices Thursday. ``So each day, I just want to come out here and practice and |
