Head Coach Tony Sparano

(On if a team uses a carbon copy of a game plan when they play a team twice within a short period of time) - "I think it is a little more strategic. You obviously don't have a lot of evidence that anything has changed. You don't have much of that right now between the last time you have played. I think from our end you have to defend against all the 'what ifs'. I think strategy does come into affect a little bit. I don't necessarily think that we will see the same thing that we had seen in game 1 nor do I think they will see what they saw in game 1."

(On what the Jets will miss without having Leon Washington) - "I say this with a great deal of respect to Leon; I think he is one of their most productive players. You put all these teams out there with all these pieces each week that we play, here is a guy that each time we play this team you are looking at him and you are concerned at several things that he does. You concerned about him in the backfield with his hands on the ball, they used him in the Wildcat so you are concerned about him there; you are concerned about him on third down with them throwing the ball to him. He gets his hands on the ball in special teams. I think all those things are certainly concerns. Now going back [to the previous question] our challenge is how do we prepare without him there. In other words, there is going to be answers from the Jets standpoint for that void and we need to be able to prepare that way. Well, we have one game of evidence right now and they ran the ball like crazy in that game."

(On the Jets missing Kris Jenkins) - "First of all, Kris is a hard guy to block. He has been a hard guy to block for me for a long time in this league. He causes a lot of problems in there, physical player. All those things. I think he is an impact player at his position. That being said, there is a lot of film on [Sione] Pouha so that is a little bit different there. We do have a lot of evidence there. I think they play those guys a little bit like we play ours in that we try to get a rotation of players in there. Those big guys not being able to go the long haul so you need a couple of people in and out of there and we have seen him on film so we have a little bit more evidence there."

(On studying rookie Shonn Greene) - "The good thing there is that we just did him in college. In other words, so he came out in the draft and I mean we are very familiar with him, the way he ran the ball in college, what he brought to the table, what our opinions of him were going into the draft and maybe some of what we feel his strengths are. Now how they use him at this point, obviously he got his hands on the ball a bunch last week and did a heck of job. Now that is not the first time that has happened. In preparation the first time we played him, he had gotten the ball a couple of times there too and ran the ball pretty darn well. I think we have a pretty good understanding of what he is. Now, there are two physical runners coming at you."

(On if he has seen any change in Chad Henne's demeanor this week coming off a loss compared to last week coming off a win) - "I think same guy, maybe a little bit more focused. One of the things I liked that I saw out there today was he had urgency to get it right. Not that that is different but I mean really took command of the situation out there. Every day that Chad is in the back of the center or the huddle, he is starting to assert himself a little bit more and a little bit more. Sometimes early on in the process you wonder 'how can I be that guy to do that when I don't have any stripes. I haven't done this yet. Are they going to respond to me that way?' Right now, obviously, at the end of three ballgames, I would say that is pretty clear that they are responding to him and he has very good control of what is going on."

(On how confident he is that his receivers can beat one-on-one coverage with cornerbacks when given that specific coverage) - "We work on it every day. You guys are in there sometimes, you see it. We work on it every day. I think we are getting better and better at it. It is not an easy skill, not an easy technique to defeat - one-on-one coverage. Particularly when you get the guys that can play it really well. So I think that just continue to work. I am pretty confident right now with our guys. Our guys are a little bit more, in some situations, sneaky than fast but understand. They have a pretty good understanding of man to man coverage that way. We have to continue to work on it and get better at it because we see it every week. No doubt about it. Separation is the key. Sometimes just being able to separate a split second faster is the difference between a sack, a pressure, the ball having to be checked down rather than being thrown torn for a 15, 18 yard gain. All those things."

(On if there is a lineup change based on what the media observed in practice at the wide receiver position) - "No, just shuffling some things in practice today, doing some of those things. Just make sure everyone is on their toes."
(On a report by ESPN's Chris Mortensen that Ted Ginn would see less playing time) - "A Chris Mortensen report? (Laughing) I have no comment. I really don't. "

(On what is entailed when he says that he wants players to be accountable, specifically to whom –coaches, teammates, and media) - "I think that you need to take accountability in any of those areas myself. If it affects you and your one of the guys in question, whatever the case is, I can't give you examples one way or the other, you need to step up and I believe you need to be accountable. What I don't believe in is finger pointing. I don't believe in this 'water off a ducks back' approach. Those things don't really fly well with me. Finger pointing, 'water off a ducks back' approach, I don't do well with. I'd rather say 'I am going to get it right'.

(On if he can ever remember going into an NFL game with two rookie starting cornerbacks and if that is an unsettling feeling) - "I can't recall. (Laughing) I really can't. Thank, you just cost me a couple of hours of sleep. (Laughing). Honestly, I can't recall. I know when we were in Dallas, Terrence Newman started his first game, as soon as we drafted him. But Anthony Henry was opposite of him who was a veteran player. I don't recall being in this situation with two young corners but I will say this, I really like their makeup, what they are all about and what they bring to the table for our team. I have said all along that there would be growing pains and bumps in the road. We have been putting them right out there so this isn't new. In other words, they have been playing in every single of these games right now. They have gotten significant playing time so I wouldn't expect that they would be big eyed or any of those things. I think that they will pretty focused and have short memories."

(On if anyone takes over as a secondary coach on the field, a role that Will Allen had) - "Will by the nature of him being the veteran player at the position I think that stuff naturally happens. Right now at that position, that is not necessarily the case. Thought there is one guy out there that I think that really can provide some insight to them in that situation and I think that guy is a guy like Nate Jones who been around a while, played several years and played a lot of football games in different positions. Nate is a tremendous student of the game. Really good pro, he gets it. So if there is information to be passed, I think Nate can help them that way."

(On Channing Crowder not practicing) - "Shoulder and just kept him out today."

(On if he ever remembers playing a team twice in such a short period time) - "Never, no. I just said that to the New York media as well. I just never done it."

(On what he thinks about the scheduling) - "It is fine with me. In other words, you have to play them and we are going to play them twice might as well do it right now."

(On Rex Ryan saying he was so excited for the game he wished it was tomorrow) - "Good for him" (Laughing).

(On if Ted Ginn has lost his starting job or not) - "We will see where we are at the end of the week. Right now I am just upsetting the whole apple cart and see how this thing goes. So I don't want to say yes, I don't want to say no right now. Today we just went in there and said let's let it fly. We have five guys there that are playing this position. Let's let them all work and see where we go from there."

(On if it depends on how they perform in practice) - "Yes, it always does. It really does. It always does depend how it goes in practice from my end. From my mind have five players in that position and at the end of the week we will see how it goes."

(On if he has picked up on the idea that Ted Ginn might be down on himself) - "I think that is natural in this situation. In order words, I am not defending Ted one way or another or anybody else, I just think we have gone through this every week, even when we win and a player doesn't play up to his ability, any player. ... First of all they are in an environment here where that gets addressed. It doesn't get overlooked, thrown on the backburner, any of those things. One of the things I keep saying to coaches and keep saying to players is you cannot ignore the signs. You just can't. Even when you win, you have to be critical of how we play, what we do, how we do, how we coach, any of those things. From my end, that player, whoever it is, is getting addressed and from a confidence standpoint, I guess he is going to understand that he did not play as well as we thought he should have played. Whether that is down on himself, lack of confidence, any of those things. What you are trying to see, first of all you need to address it to make it better and secondly you want to see who steps up."

QB Chad Henne

(On if he sees anything different in the Jets from the last time the two teams played) - "Buffalo, they had a good test there, and defensively, I think they're similar to what they showed us. I thought they played pretty well, they shut down some of their passing game with Buffalo, got the quarterback hurt. Overall, they were bringing pressure, which is what we had anticipated. In Oakland, I saw they were bringing a lot of pressure, forced JaMarcus [Russell] to make some quick decisions and he threw a pick, I saw that. They're still pressuring the quarterback, which I expect."

(On being on the road in a hostile rivalry game environment) - "It's definitely going to be hostile. I remember being there last year, it was so loud, and you really have to communicate and kind of sink in and concentrate and focus on what you have to do at task. Be on the same page as the offensive line, make sure they're getting their calls, make sure the wide outs get their calls. Just being on the same page and communicating is going to be the biggest thing for us."

(On watching the tape from the first game) - "I think we're definitely going to look back at that tape and anticipate what we can attack them on, and what did work for us. We're going to take bits and pieces from that game, but obviously there's going to be adjustments. There's going to be some change-ups for us, and we will try to keep them off guard."

(On throwing the ball in the Meadowlands) - "I think sits going to be difficult for all of us to adjust to the climate. Obviously we're down here in warm whether all the time, we haven't played in a cold weather game yet, so we're going to have to adjust to the climate, adjust to the winds. I'm kind of accustomed to that with college being in the north and adjusting to the cold weather and the wind. I don't think that should be a factor to me, and hopefully we can just adjust to it."

(On the emotional difference between the win over the Jets and the loss versus the Saints) - "For me, we forget that game against the Jets and we moved on. We knew we had a great team coming in in New Orleans, they're 6-0 (5-0), we had to be up for that game, and for the first half, it was almost shut down for us. Just executing, it seemed like every series we got, we were executing. And then we came out in the second half, they pressured a little bit more, and just weren't executing as an offensive unit as we should have. Again, we're putting that game behind us and we have a bigger game, a division game, and we really have to worry about them."

(On the emotional peaks and valleys since the first game against the Jets) - "I think the emotions were definitely high after that game, but then you come back down to earth and realize you have another team coming in, and you anticipate the same things happened winning –wise, and the emotions, kind of riding on that, getting things going for us. We were 2-0 with me being at the head and getting two games, and then a stump in the road, and obviously you're going to deal with emotions throughout the season."

(On if he is re-watching previous film of the Jets, or watching more of the past two games since the first meeting) - "I'm defiantly going to go back and re-evaluate what we did and how we accomplished what we did against them, but then there's some change-ups in these two recent games at lest. But you still see the same thing: they're pressuring the quarterback; we've got to be ready for their pressures. All-in-all, it all comes down to how well we handle their pressures and deal with it."

(On how he deals with a dropped pass) - "I think on both sides it's frustrating, but at the same time, how does a receiver feel about a quarterback that misses me wide open? You can take it either way. I miss some throws, they miss some catches, when it's going well, it's going well, when it's going bad, it's going bad. You just have to overcome those situations and get on the same page."

(On the Jets missing Kris Jenkins) - "I still think they're very physical. They still have nose [tackle] that's very strong and very physical up there. Obviously, it's hard to replace a guy like Jenkins, but I still think up front they're very talented, they have linebackers in their scheme that are very good. Overall, I think their backups are still pretty valuable."

(On if he has ever said anything to a receiver or had a receiver say anything to him about a dropped pass) - "I think my way of dealing with it is, it's going to happen. It's not that we're all perfect, and for me to kind of go out and talk to somebody that they missed some balls is just uncharacteristic of me and how I should handle it, because there's going to be times, like I said before, that I miss a throw, and then I don't want that guy coming back at me and [saying] 'Chad, I'm wide open.' Like I said, it goes both ways. For me to handle it, I just move on to the next play and worry about the next play."

(On what he has been saying to Ted Ginn) - "With Ted, there were maybe two, three plays that obviously were missed catches and he didn't catch the ball. I have so much confidence in Ted and his ability. I grew up playing against him, playing with him in all-star games, so I know his talent, I know his ability, so I'm not worried about Ted at all. I think he just needs to focus and concentrate and do the things that he knows how to do. For him to go out and be down on himself, he can't be down on himself because he's our big play guy. We've got other receivers in there that are making some plays, all he has to do is just concentrate."

(On if he is noticing that something is bothering Ginn at times) - "I think it would bother anybody. I think when everybody's coming at him and attacking him, those plays weren't really the difference in the game. I think some of those plays, what it boiled down to, what lost us the game, there were other plays out there that lost us the game. For him to be down on himself and say 'I lost us the game,' is totally incorrect. I think he just needs to focus in, like I said, and concentrate, and make some of those catches."

(On if Ginn said he blamed himself for the last game, or if he is just giving a hypothetical in saying that) - "I'm saying that."

(On the importance of finding a receiver when he is in one-on-one coverage) - "It's big. I think that's what a number one receiver has to do, that's what you're paid to do as a number one receiver, the 'X' out there, single coverage. The biggest thing that we always tell our receivers, one-on-one coverage, we have to win. We have to win those matchups, and I have to put the ball where it needs to be in man-to-man coverage, and that's what you want as an offense. When they load the box and you have one-on-one out there, you have to expect somebody to win, and you need to put the ball where it needs to be."

(On if he has the weapons to win one-on-one matchups) - "Definitely, there's no doubt about it. Ted's one of the most explosive guys in the NFL with his speed, his talent, and he's coming along. He's improved so much, that's what we forget from last year, how much he's improved as a player, as a rout runner. So I'm not worried about it, I have full confidence in him, and we're going to get the job done on the one-on-one coverage."

(On what would cause him to speak with a teammate about a play) - "The way I dealt with it at Michigan was try to take it behind the scenes. Don't let the teammates worry about you controlling somebody else, or talking to somebody else and approving. I think I always take it outside the picture and everybody's on a guy if he misses a play, and you don't want to be the added guy that's saying, 'come on, why did you do that.' So I take it out of the scenes and say 'listen, this is where we're at, we're going to get better, we're going to work on it at practice,' and that's all you have to say. I don't think you have to say anything more, because there's other people, there's coaches saying 'you need to do this, you need to do that,' and I say 'we're doing the right things, we just need to make a play.'"
