It did not take long for New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner to score a ticket to the Pro Bowl. In just his first season in the pros, Gardner has earned himself a Pro Bowl selection, and he’s really happy about it, to say the least. I’m really a Pro Bowler… If only y’all knew […]

For New York Jets corner Sauce Gardner, the stage was perfect. His team entered the game 7-6 with a chance to significantly help their playoff chances. And he faced his hometown Detroit Lions, the team that passed over him in April’s draft. However, the ending for Gardner and the Jets wasn’t out of some Hollywood […]

Robert Saleh’s clock management in the final two minutes of Sunday’s 20-17 New York Jets loss to the Detroit Lions may not have been his finest moment with the New York Jets.

It wasn’t all bad but it certainly wasn’t good enough for the New York Jets in Week 1. They were defeated 24-9 by the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.

The massive right tackle […]

New York Jets rookie Ahmad Gardner might have brought his nickname into the NFL. But his teammates will make him earn the name out on the field. “Sauce” Gardner has impressed Jets coach Robert Saleh during training camp, but that isn’t enough for his teammates.
