Plaxico Burress
'That's not Peyton Manning back there'
Mark Sanchez doesn’t fare well in the face of a pass rush. That’s the conventional wisdom tells us, and that’s what the statistics, courtesy of Pro Football Focus's game-charting data, confirm. More
Tim Tebow is a big deal until football starts
Tim Tebow won the Good Guy Award from the Pro Football Writers of America, thus putting a bow around what can only be described as The Year of the Tebow. More
Meet Tim Tebow, the most famous special-teams upback in N.F.L. history
Jets special teams coach Mike Westhoff, without indicating the full extent of his vision, said he plans to use Tim Tebow on special teams a lot this year. The Jets already announced that Tebow will be the upback/personal protector on the punt team, thus making him the most famous upback/personal protector in the history of the league. He will likely see action on other units as well. More

Calvin Pace isn't so much a sack machine as a big wet blanket on the other team's offense
Each time the Jets or Giants play a football game, Capital will write about a home-team member who took part in it. This post is about Calvin Pace, who played linebacker in the Jets’ 27-21 win over the San Diego Chargers.
Finally, a win for the Jets that perfectly matched their blueprint.
It was of the “gritty” variety, as the Jets came back from two separate 11-point deficits. It featured a defense that clamped down in the second half, led by the performance of inimitable cornerback Darrelle Revis, who somehow gained four times as many yards with one interception return than he gave up all day to the man he was guarding.

(1)Listen to the sound of no one talking about Plaxico Burress
Each time the Jets or Giants play a football game, Capital will write about a home-team member who took part in it. This post is about Plaxico Burress, who played wide receiver in the Jets’ 34-17 loss on October 2 to the Baltimore Ravens.
The Jets are in crisis mode, which means at long last, there is something to yack about other than Plaxico Burress. After years of being the center of a careening narrative in which he epitomizes spoiled, clueless, and idiotic athletes in one moment and then sympathetic and misunderstood ones the next, Burress has faded into the background.

Hakeem Nicks isn't Plaxico Burress, but that isn't actually such a bad thing
Each time the Giants or Jets play a football game, Capital will write about a home-team member who took part in it. This post is about Hakeem Nicks, who played receiver in the Giants’ 29-16 win on Sept. 25 over the Philadelphia Eagles.
There were a lot of compelling storylines emerging from yesterday’s Giants victory over the favored Eagles yesterday. The pedestrian performance of Hakeem Nicks, the Giants’ best receiver, was not one of them. More
