The easy pile-on from a second consecutive fight-filled day of Jets practice is to assume these guys are at it again, turning on one another, splintering from within in a predictable continuation of last season's spectacular flameout. The Jets have earned such skepticism from the top down, with a management team as interested in headlines as stat lines and players as interested in stat lines as wins.
But in the clean slate start to 2012, behind a leader who simply didn't change his physical profile, but his coaching one, too, the final analysis of Tuesday's multiple intrasquad skirmishes paints a different picture of how Rex Ryan is going to handle his Jets.
He isn't losing control of his players. Instead, he's finally taking control.

While it’s unclear whether it’s happening at the behest of the team or the player, Chargers rookie linebacker Manti Te’o has escaped, to date, the reach of the media assembled at the team’s offseason workouts.
Yes, the guy who sat with Jeremy Schaap and Katie Couric in the immediate after
The Denver Broncos are moving on from Rahim Moore's ghastly misplay that led to Jacoby Jones' game-tying touchdown in the 38-35 playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Before any back problems can be addressed with respect to Rob Gronkowski, doctors must first take care of priority No. 1.
The Patriots tight end will have a fourth procedure performed on his left forearm tomorrow at Massachusetts General Hospital, according to a source with knowledge of the sit
In late December, the Steelers infrequently find themselves out of the playoffs — as they did last season. In mid-May, however, they're almost always considered to be one of the teams to beat.
Not this May.
As the Steelers resume practicing this week for the first time since they ended a dis
Tim Tebow is a man without an NFL team, but Tebowmania is alive and well, especially in Jacksonville.
Though no NFL team has shown interest in signing the former Nease High and University of Florida Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback since the New York Jets cut him late last month, he remains in th
Michael Vick is getting defensive about the flow of criticism directed his way. After two turnover-riddled, injury-filled seasons, Vick continues to take heat for being careless with the ball, holding the ball too long and leaving himself vulnerable to too many big hits, which translate to turnovers
The Miami Dolphins have signed former University of Florida tailback Mike Gillislee, making him the fifth member of the 2013 draft class to sign his rookie deal.

Plenty of players test positive for performance enhancing drugs. But the Seahawks definitely are in the midst of a troubling trend.
As pointed out by Eric D. Williams of the Tacoma News Tribune, defensive end Bruce Irvin has become the sixth Seahawks player to test positive for performance enhan
Cooper Taylor was in elementary school in the Atlanta area back in the late 1990s when Jason Sehorn was starring for the Giants as a one-of-a-kind cornerback. Not many rookies about to enter the NFL nowadays point to Sehorn as the player they emulate, but there is a glaring reason why Taylor does.
The New York Jets have yet to spell out Mike Goodson's fate on the heels of Friday's arrest, but at least one teammate believes the running back could be on his way out of Florham Park.
After Goodson was nabbed Friday in New Jersey on weapons and drug charges, offensive lineman Willie Colon told
Andrew Luck is going to get his.
But until the Indianapolis Colts’ newest cornerstone is able to truly cash in as one of the NFL’s rising stars — perhaps not until after the 2016 season — the team will reap the benefits of having its franchise quarterback playing under a contract governed
They remember the hard hits – most of them, at least. The brain-rattlers that left them blank-eyed and disoriented, they have no recollection of at all. But the ones that snapped ligaments, rendered bones the consistency of crushed ice or bent joints in ways they ought not to bend are still felt e
The demand seems simple enough. In today's NFL, teams need large, athletic defensive linemen.
As the spread offense proliferates, defenses must dot the field with multiple defensive backs. And more players on the back end means fewer players up front. Disruptive interior pass rushers are at an al
It remains to be seen if Marcus Lattimore is Frank Gore’s heir apparent.
In 2013, though, it appears the 49ers’ fourth-round pick will be the Pro Bowl running back’s shadow.
After meeting the eight-year veteran for the first time Monday, Lattimore hatched a plan for acing NFL 101 during
Lions running back Reggie Bush was a guest on NFL Network's "NFL AM" program Friday. Here are some of the highlights:
On his role in the Lions' offense: "As far as from the offensive perspective, it's a lot like what we did in New Orleans when I was with the New Orleans Saints. So it's a lot of s
It's a fairly simple concept. Get your most explosive player the ball.
Somewhere along the line, Andy Reid lost touch with common sense. He took his most explosive offensive player — maybe the most explosive player in the league — and gradually decreased his touches. The results were predicta
Victor Cruz has come a long way in his short NFL career. Soon his ascension to the role of one of the best deep threat wide receivers in the league will be rewarded by the Giants.

Earlier this week, we passed along Tavon Austin's concerns about all the cousins he never knew coming out of the woodwork looking for money. There was a light-hearted tone to his comments, but it undoubtedly is a serious problem for many players.

Kyle Long and the Chicago Bears have agreed to terms on a four-year deal plus an option, the team said Friday. The agreement with the No. 20 overall selection in the 2013 NFL Draft means the Bears now have locked up all six of their picks.
