interesting article about Jets' scout team

They don't give JP much props though. Hopefully he shows them something they haven't seen this week.

Clemens and Ramsey have spent this week impersonating Buffalo Bills quarterback J. P. Losman, who has thrown for 12 touchdowns and 10 interceptions this season. His 2,191 passing yards rank 19th in the league.

 

In terms of style, Losman is as plain as a vanilla milkshake. To varying degrees, so are the other opposing quarterbacks remaining on the Jets’ schedule: Brad Johnson of the Minnesota Vikings, Joey Harrington of the Miami Dolphins and Aaron Brooks of the Oakland Raiders. Those quarterbacks lack the panache of, say, Manning, Favre or Tom Brady of the New England Patriots, so it would seem that they would be harder to imitate during practice.

 

“It’s actually easier because there’s not as much stuff,” Clemens said. “With Peyton, the big thing was all the stuff he does before the snap, how he works the play clock and things like that.

 

“The thing with Losman is just his ability to move around and make plays with either his feet running around and scrambling or getting out of the pocket and making throws on the run. So that’s what I do.”

 

Asked to describe Johnson’s tendencies, Ramsey could not name any because the Jets had not yet dissected the Vikings. They have already faced the Bills, in a 28-20 victory Sept. 24. Losman had one of his best games of the season, passing for 328 yards and a touchdown.

 

When Clemens and Ramsey led the practice squad against the first-team defense this week, the Jets’ defensive coaches reminded them of how to impersonate Losman.

How do you try to impersonate Pennington?

Think of Lisa Minelli trying to throw a tennis ball to Martina Navratilova who's at a table in the back of the cabaret having drinks with Alex Karaas. Oh, and a big smooch and a hug from onstage when the tennis ball lands in the champagne goblet of the gentleman transvestite seated in the first row of tables.
