FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – With results like these, the Jets should schedule Steve McLendon to blow up every other practice – maybe some time between jumping jacks and team drills.
It was McLendon, after all, who Wednesday took aside the defense and, he said, “blew up” at them for being lethargic and sloppy. And even though the 32-year-old lineman rested for the latter part of practice on Thursday, his spirit lived on – in an amped up effort that culminated in spirited full-contact goal line drills. The offense was into it, the defense was into it, and who won?
