APWith all the talk about Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow, the player who perhaps can do (and perhaps has done) the most damage to the team with the things he says privately and publicly is receiver Santonio Holmes.
On Thursday, Holmes (largely) avoided controversy in his remarks to the media, possibly since he spent the time (largely) evading the reason for his absence from practice, and his timetable for coming back.
He says he’s not injured, but that he has “tightness and soreness” from “a lot of running.” Holmes said there’s “[n]othing specific, body-wise” that is bothering him.
Is there a timetable for his return? ”Nope,” Holmes said.
Of course, Holmes didn’t completely sidestep one of the various issues that always seem to be hovering around the organization, like flies over a steaming pile of, um, potato salad.
As to cornerback Antonio Cromartie’s claim that he’s the second-best receiver on the team, Holmes said (apparently on behalf of the other receivers), “Well, we’ll let the coaches deal with that. It doesn’t bother us. We’ll play on our side of the ball. He’ll play on his side.”
That sounds like a passive-aggressive way of saying, “Stay on your side of the ball.”
Of course, the coaches apparently have decided otherwise. And how it all plays out will be just another twist for the ultimate reality show’s ultimate sideshow.

What is it about those Ryan boys (and their old man) fostering tension between the defense and offense?
jets offense looks really devoid of talent… shonn greene seems like there biggest offensive weapon…
I’m not an expert, but I think Rex Ryan’s days as the Jets’ head coach are numbered. Maybe not this season, but it’s coming.
Gee, remember when everyone laughed and ripped the Steelers for trading this loser for virtually nothing? Meanwhile, the Steelers haven’t missed a beat and the Jets are a joke.
Yes, Ryan’s days are very numbered. Last year he was so disconnected that he claimed no knowledge of win-killing locker room strife widely reported in the media. He seemed shocked to hear about something everybody else knew. He can’t explain how he was the only one out of the loop, except by his own admission that he wasn’t paying attention.
So what has he done to tamp down locker room turmoil? Right, he has intentionally – intentionally! – given birth to the Frankenstein of all locker room divisiveness: a guaranteed quarterback controversy.
Jets fans, please be patient. Next year the circus will be gone ( you hope )
“tightness and soreness” from “a lot of running….his mouth?
At first i was like who is Santonio Coy? Then i immediately lost interest.. anybody else sick of the Jets?
Signed for two more seasons Jets fans and he won’t practice with “soreness.” Good luck with that!
they will be yelling TEBOW by the first halftime!
Ya know, there are other teams to talk about other than the Jets and Cowboys. Both teams are the most overrated teams anyway.
On a side note, Jim Harbaugh is a tool.
Steelers traded for a 5th round pick in exchange for Holmes. That pick was then traded to Arizona for Bryant McFadden and a 6th round pick. With that 6th round pick the Steelers Draft ANTONIO BROWN #justareminder #boomroasted
