He has retained Brian Schottenheimer and added defensive quality control coach Jim O’Neil and defensive assistant Jeff Weeks. O’Neil was with Eastern Michigan University the last three seasons as recruiting coordinator and safeties coach. Weeks was in the same role with the Raiders last season.

In addition, a slew of players were signed to reserve or futures contracts. Names are below.

DL Kareem Brown, RB Jehuu Caulcrick, DE Kenwin Cummings, OL Stanley Daniels, WR Marcus Henry, RB Noah Herron, RB Marcus Mason, DE Ropati Pitoitua, WR Paul Raymond, LB Brandon Renkart, DT Brian Schafering and WR Huey Whittaker.

Two of the guys signed, I really liked during last Training Camp… Caulcrick, & Kenwin Cummings, also Marcus Henry looked to be a nice possession receiver.

Related to Schott, one of the announcers during one of our last games, mentioned the Jets hadn’t scored an offensive TD, in 30+ games, on their first possession of the 2nd half.
So, I did a bit of research (with some help from Erik Boland)... before we scored a TD (a 28-yd drive after a muffed punt) in our last game, we hadn’t scored an offensive TD since week 12 of 2006.
In 2007, two first-possession kickoffs were returned for TDs.
Thus, between November 26, 2006, and December 28, 2008, in our first possession after halftime, we never scored a TD… 38 games, all with Schott as OC.
This past season, we kicked 2 FGs, and that TD in Miami game.
To me, it’s a huge indictment of Schott… but since he’s back, time for me to move on… hopefully he’ll get his schott together in ‘09.
