Potholes in my lawn

It’s the day after Thanksgiving, but the players didn’t really get a break yesterday. Today, David Harris and Eric Smith, in the red jersey, were both out practicing. I’d be surprised to see either dressed on Sunday
Eric Mangini said the drama between Jay Feely and Mike Nugent would continue through evaluations today, and he’s pick a starting kicker before the 4:15 p.m. start.
Although the Jets have had a lot of recent success—wins over the Bills, St. Louis, New England and the Titans have elevated the team to a place where “Jets” and “Super Bowl” is not a punchline—this Denver game could be tricky.
The Broncos are coming off a crappy loss to Oakland in Denver—much like the Jets experienced earlier this season. Denver is big into the pass, defending against which is not exactly the Jets strength.
And don’t forget that the Jets have struggled against teams with losing records before this season (Oakland, Cincinnati and Kansas City). This could be a game where the Jets come out and show they have turned into a juggernaut, or it could be a reality check.
Anyway, as for practice, Mangini didn’t play any “Rocky Mountain High” stuff, but he did play the Master P classic, “Make ‘Em Say Ugh,” which I have on my iPod. It was a hit with the receivers. I saw Laveranues Coles and Jerricho Cotchery getting down, while Dustin Keller, Brad Smith and David Clowney acting like they weren’t in grade school when the song first came out a decade ago. (Explicit lyrics, kids.)
