At least you can wear your old No. 16 jersey again if you didn't throw it out.

While Base10 did not check the sports news wires, it is still unclear to him at this point what Vinny Testaverde's role on the Jets will be. Will he be Brooks Bollinger's backup or will Bollinger start only the next game or two as Vinny learns the system? Or is the situation fluid? My guess is the latter. If Bollinger plays decently without making many mistakes it is his job to lose. If however he falls apart, the fans will have no problem with Herm yanking him for Vinny. (Base10's official prediction: the first play of this week's game against Baltimore will be a long stop-and-go to Jerrico Cotchery. Remember, this is an official prediction).

Make no mistake, Vinny can still do some damage. Base10 would actually have prefered him to play this weekend if he were able against Baltimore since they would not be able to big blitz an experienced QB like Vinny but will certainly big blitz Bollinger early and often.

Is Herm's job in jeopardy? Base10 tends to doubt that, but there are concerns. Why didn't you see Pennington's arm problems? Did you work the team hard enough in camp? There's no indication that Woody Johnson has soured on Herm Edwards.

The job security for GM Terry Bradway however is perhaps not the same. Like you can't blame coach for both QB's going down in one game, neither can you blame the GM. You can blame the GM for some questionable personnel moves. What did we give up for Doug Jolley? Was a straight-up trade of young speed-merchant Santana Moss for an older Laveraneus Coles (with a known toe problem) really in the teams's best interest?
