OK, props to Erik Boland at Newsday for coming up with the Ft. Florham designation. I had to fill out a few forms and wait at a long line outside of his closet office here at the Jets training facility, but I finally got official permission to use the name. So thanks, Erik!

This isn’t Ft. Florham, but Black Lighthouse in Australia. But it gives you a sense of it.

A few changes in the roster. CB Hank Poteat was brought back to the Jets for the 437th time in his career, and OL Will Montgomery was released. I wouldn’t say we’ve seen the last of Montgomery. Currently the Jets have two punters (Ben Graham and Reggie Hodges), two kickers (Mike Nugent and Jay Feely) a long snapper (James Dearth) and four quarterbacks (Brett Favre, Kellen Clemens, Erik Ainge and Brett Ratliff).

So many specialists are really limiting the Jets right now, and so you see a few unusual cuts like 6th round draft pick WR Marcus Henry, who passed through waivers and was resigned by the Jets this week.

“When you’re weeding out the latter roster spots with specialists, you don’t have the same depth that you’d normally have,” Jets coach Eric Mangini said.

As for Favre’s ankle, I’ll have some of what he’s having. There was no noticeable limp today and he jogged during the first part of practice today with the rest of the team. He was wrapped and looked solid after appearing to be in real pain after the loss at San Diego.

Mangini was asked about Favre following the company line on injuries and referring ankle questions to the coach yesterday. “See? He’s coachable,” Mangini quipped.

The team will wear blue Titans helmets today, so everyone got a different helmet for practice and Favre’s was too tight. “Can you see the bulging in my eyes?” he joked to an equipment manager.

As for Graham, the punter who was cut and signed again within four days, as nice as it is for him to be back, his job is not that secure. The Jets won’t carry two punters for long.

Graham said yesterday that he now saw the NFL as the precarious employer it is rather than the more secure spot he thought he had. Mangini didn’t sugar coat it today.

“I think it’s going to be a function of how well he does and really it’s really a function of that for anybody in in the league,” Mangini said. This is a great opportunity. I really like Ben. I like the way he responded to the uniqueness of the situation.”

Lastly, I’ll let you in on my morning drive to the facility. I mentioned that there were a lot of deer out here, and this morning I watched as a buck bounced off a bunch of cars like a pinball on the main road outside of the Jets facility.

This is not a picture of the particular deer, but an AP shot of one in Arizona. But you get the idea.

The large animal finally hit a black SUV that pulled into the coach/player parking lot here, and then ran off toward the practice fields. I wondered who was in that SUV—not Favre because I imagine he would’ve stuck a shotgun out the window and finished him off. Not Mangini because he didn’t seem the least bit shaken in the presser. Maybe Westhoff? Calvin Pace? Whoever it is has a trip to the auto body shop in their future.
