CAMP OBJECTIVES:
The Jets enter training camp with a four-way competition
at quarterback that can probably be handicapped thusly:
Chad Pennington will be the top choice for new head
coach Eric Mangini and offensive coordinator Brian
Schottenheimer if he can prove that he is healthy
following rotator cuff surgery, which seems unlikely;
former Redskins starter Patrick Ramsey is the odds-on
choice to be the opening day starter; second-round
draft choice Kellen Clemens (Oregon) will probably
hold the clipboard after sitting out the final two
months of his senior year with a broken ankle; and
Brooks Bollinger, who started nine games last season,
will be cut if Pennington is on the opening day active
roster. The next-most-pressing concern is along the
offensive line, where a pair of first-round draft
picks - tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson (Virginia) and
center Nick Mangold (Ohio State) - will need to make
significant contributions right away. At running back,
Mangini and company need to decide whether 33-year-old
Curtis Martin can still be an every-down back. The
defense will switch to a 3-4 scheme, meaning linebackers
like Eric Barton and Victor Hobson will have to prove
themselves capable of pass-rushing duties, especially
following the departure of end John Abraham (Falcons).
In the secondary, either Ray Mickens (Browns) or Andre
Dyson (Seahawks) will have to step up and win the
cornerback job vacated by Ty Law (not tendered).
