Roster News: Jets Sign WR Gilyard, Waive Hicks
Bent , theJetsBlog.com
The Jets have announced that they have cut offensive lineman Hayworth Hicks and have reportedly signed wide receiver Mardy Gilyard. Hicks was only on the active roster for the minimum three week period and the Jets will now perhaps try and add him to the practice squad. Gilyard was picked up by the Jets last year in September and although he was cut within a week and did not make it onto the opening day roster, he lasted just long enough to get the BGA scouting report treatment.
Gilyard spent part of this season with the Eagles and although he only played six snaps on offense, he did field five punts (returning two for 15 yards) and made five tackles in kick coverage, so special teams may be somewhere he can improve the team. In fact, if you read the scouting report on him, that’s where I thought he’d help last time, too.
BGA: The Expendables Update #3
Bent , theJetsBlog.com
Every year, teams have to let some players go. Even though the Jets brought back Sione Po’uha, Bryan Thomas and Nick Folk, they chose not to bring everyone back. During preseason, I kept track of the progress on the guys who left so we could at least start to form some views on whether letting any of these guys loose was a mistake or a smart move. Now we’re into the regular season, let’s see how those guys are getting on.
This is the third update of the year and also acts as a primer in case you want to check on the progress of some of these guys yourselves with the Jets not playing today. If you missed the first two updates, go here and here.

BGA: Jets at Rams

This analysis is based on watching and re-watching TV footage. As such, it is not always possible to accurately determine everything that was going on. However, every effort has been made to ensure that the information below is as complete and correct as possible.
Coming up, your breakdown of yesterday’s win over the Rams, together with detailed analysis of personnel groupings and individual performance.
Earlier this week, the Jets signed free agent running back Kahlil Bell. Jets fans might not know too much about Bell, so I’ve been looking at game footage in detail to investigate what he could bring to the table.
Bell spent his first three years in the NFL with the Bears before being waived in August. Chicago re-signed him temporarily early in the season but didn’t make much of an impact and was released four weeks later. He hasn’t played for any other NFL teams, although he did attend Vikings camp as a rookie. With both Bilal Powell and Joe McKnight injured and recent practice squad addition John Griffin presumably still familiarizing himself with the playbook, the Jets needed a healthy tailback to back up Shonn Greene.
After the jump, I look in detail at footage from Bell’s time in the league to evaluate some of his strengths and weaknesses. To read more of this story, click here
