Sept 13, 2009In a few hours, Todd Bowles will take the field for the first time as a Head Coach. Seemed appropriate today to go back just a few years, to this day in 2009 when another rookie head coach, Rex Ryan would make his debut, leading a team that would be piloted by rookie QB Mark Sanchez. Most Jet fans had no idea what to expect out of their team in 2009. Rex Ryan, replaced Eric Mangini. Mark Sanchez, replaced future hall of famer Brett Favre. The Jets offense was led by a great, veteran offensive line and a solid stable of running backs including Thomas JOnes, Leon Washington and rookie Shonn Greene. The defense featured a blend of veterans (Kris Jenkins, Bart Scott & Shaun Ellis) and youth (David Harris & Darrelle Revis). Anything seemed possible heading into the season. Anything from 5 wins to 11 wins seemed like a possibility, depending upon the play of the rookie QB. After a pre-game pep talk from Joe Namath, Sanchez led the Jets onto the field. Early returns were good as the Jets took the field in Houston. Sanchez would lead two long scoring drives in the first half. The first, a 16 play 68 yard march that ended in a Jay Feely field goal. He got into the end zone for the first time in the second quarter as he finished a 10 play 78 yard drive with a 30 yard TD toss to Chansi Stuckey. Video of Chansi Stuckey discussing that first TD reception from Sanchez: Rex Ryan’s defense was dominant throughout, holding the Texans to less than 200 yards of offense and only 38-yards on the ground. Houston’s only score came in the 4th quarter. Trailing 17-0, Houston’s Safety John Busing picked off a Mark Sanchez pass. Busing fumbled during the return but it was picked up by teammate Dominique Barber and returned for a TD. The Jets restored their lead on the next possession. A 40 yard completion from Sanchez to Dustin Keller was followed by a 38 yard Thomas Jones TD run and the Jets coasted to a 24-7 victory. It was a strong debut for Sanchez, who finished the game 18-31 for 272 yards with the 1 TD and 1 interception. The Jets added 190 rushing yards to round out a balanced offensive attack.  Namath was impressed by what he saw out of the rookie. "I was hopeful and I'm satisfied more than I thought I'd be," Namath said. "His offensive line did a hell of a job, but he did a great job of finding time with his feet, just to move subtly ... I don't doubt even a little bit that he doesn't have poise at this stage." "He's able to move and bide a little extra time and again, this is why we took the guy," Ryan said. "This is why we traded up to get him."

Also on this date in history, 9/13/73, running back John Riggins, after returning from his holdout two days earlier, would sign a one year contract with the Jets. It was worth $50,000. How the times have changed -- Adrian Peterson is due to earn over $15 million this season, or $50,000 per carry if he carries 300 times.  |

That was a great game not only because we won but because we had hope in the future. Feels like the opposite of now (no hope, no youth, a mess). I remember the reporter for the Houston chronicle talking after the game and saying it was the most pathetic worst loss in he history of the Texans franchise. Good times indeed. |

Really doosh. New coach and GM who actually seem to know what they are doing and have performed well to date. A good mix of young and vet talent on both sides of the line. Pleased throw yourself from the rooftop now. You will be missed by no one. |
