Defeat the Empire

Wayne Chrebet is finished, as are the Jets.

Wayne will always be a NY Jet hero; he's he little engine that could, the local kid who rose up from Hofstra to be one of the best third-down receivers in the NFL. Time after time, concussion after concussion, he picked himself up and kept contributing.

But now, it's over.

It's fitting that Chrebet's last play as a Jet, and in the NFL was a third down sideline pattern that resulted in a first down. Despite being knocked unconscious in the course of the play, Chrebet hung on to the football and gave the Jets one last first down to remember.

Tight End Chris Baker was placed on IR today along with Chrebet. Baker has a broken leg; Doug Jolley will (finally) gt some reps at the TE spot.

With Vinny Testaverde hurt and ineffective, Herm Edwards anounced today that Brooks Bollinger will start Sunday @ Carolina.

Take care, Wayne. We love you.
