Jenkins had harsh words for Mark Sanchez
In fact, so many people have been talking about it that at one point yesterday afternoon, the name Greg McElroy was a trending topic worldwide on Twitter.
Commentary from current and former (mostly former) Jets players hit the web yesterday and here’s what they had to say.
- Kris Jekins defended McElroy’s comments on a radio appearance with Mike Lupica, saying he liked McElroy’s frankness. Jenkins had a lot more to say about the rest of the team and was especially critical of Mark Sanchez and his lack of leadership.
- On Santonio Holmes, Jenkins added, ““You got to let him go… you don’t go and pout as a captain.” Jenkins also used the word “selfish” in reference to Holmes’ behavior.
- One of the other interesting thing Jenkins noted in his interview was that he, Damien Woody, Shaun Ellis, and Tony Richardson would keep things in check last season, and that they provided leadership in the locker room. None of those veteran leaders were on the team this year, as you know, and I would venture to guess no one stepped up to the plate in their absence.
- Derrick Mason stopped by ESPN radio’s The Herd and SiriusXM this morning to discuss the Jets locker room situation. You may recall Mason’s tweet from Sunday expressing his desire to open up and tell his side of the story. Mason was mostly respectful but he definitely let Sanchez have it.
- Mason was sure to point out that he wasn’t to blame for the issues saying, “If I was the problem, then they would’ve been OK after I left. I was the scapegoat.”
- Erik Ainge tweeted his thoughts on the McElroy interview and it raised quite a stir.

Sione Pouha, Nick Mangold, Joe McKnight and Darrelle Revis have all been named to Pro Football Focus’ All Pro Team .
Joe McKnight finished the season with 31.6 yards per return but he ended the season slow due to injuries.
Obviously Revis and Mangold are arguably the best in the league at their respective positions, so it comes as no surprise to see them recognized.
