‘But the Jets were in a similar position in 2000, coming off a heady comeback 40-37 overtime victory over Miami on a Monday night that improved their record to 6-1. They followed with a 23-20 loss at Buffalo, a defeat that sparked a 3-6 spiral and led to New York missing the playoffs.’

‘Talk about walking the walk: The Jets are the least-penalized team in the NFL over Edwards’ 3 1/2-year tenure and they have committed the fewest turnovers over that period.’

‘Mularkey said Vincent practiced only with the scout team Friday. He said the 12-year veteran worked at cornerback and free safety. “He’s worked a little bit at both this week,” Mularkey said. “It’s an option we’ve considered, but nothing is set in stone right now.”‘

The Bills’ defense is more difficult to push around. Both defensive tackles, Pat Williams (6-3, 310) and Sam Adams (6-3, 330), are heavy anchors in the middle of the Buffalo line. The Miami Dolphins had no such players. Williams, for the position, is an excellent athlete. His best game can be awesome, so the Jets should spend little time probing the middle.

‘Problem is, if it isn’t Abraham barreling into Bledsoe, there are three other defensive linemen more than willing to pancake him.’

‘An effective NFL pass offense spreads the ball around. Through seven games, Eric Moulds has a healthy 40 catches, but the only other double-figure pass-catchers are Evans (11) and tight end Mark Campbell (10).’

‘”We know we’re probably going to have one of our toughest games of the season,” Martin said. “I know we’ll have to play better than the last time we played them.”‘
