Scout.com: From the Locker Room (Interviews)

COACH TONY SPARANO

On the defense: "I think all week long we had a bad taste in our mouth from the New Orleans game. We talked a lot about finishing. I think our defense played really well today. I think (the Jets) ran about 38 times and averaged 3.2 yards a carry during the course of this game. That’s a good running football team. They’re a good football team period, but I thought our defense really rose up and played well. They did a great job of finishing. This team has done that before, and they did it again."

On the offense: "I saw a really good defense out there. Rex (Ryan) really had those guys ready to play. We knew that, and there’s no surprise there. We knew those guys were going to be ready to play. Our guys were ready to play, too. I thought there were two good defenses punching each other around, I really did. I thought as the game went on, we just didn’t make plays. We just couldn’t finish plays, and credit has to go to that group. They did a good job in some of those situations. There are some things that we left out there ourselves. A couple of self-inflicted things that we did to ourselves. We took too many sacks. We can’t take those kinds of sacks. If you’re out of the pocket, you need to throw the ball away. We laid the ball on the ground a couple of times, so we can’t do that. But the thing that we did do is that we had a big drive for a touchdown that was critical on the play from (Joey) Haynos. That was a big, big play."

On whether Ginn, Jr’s skills are stronger in the return game than as a receiver: "I don’t think so. I just think he has a great feel for it. He did a good job today of making some things happen. I give credit to John Bonamego who did a tremendous job of coaching those guys. He’s another guy who takes an awful lot. He did a heck of a job coaching these guys. That’s a good special teams unit. The Jets do a tremendous job on special teams. It’s a phase that we knew we couldn’t lose today, and we didn’t."

On Chris Clemons: "We got him involved. I like some of the things Chris did in the ball game last week on special teams. I didn’t think it was too big for him. This kid has good skills, and he has good ball skills. He came up in the first series of the game. He was out there on the first play or first series of the game. He came up and made a nice tackle. I’ve got to look at the film and see how he played overall, but I didn’t hear his name out there, so that’s a good thing."

On the Jets stopping the Wildcat: "It’s something they were doing. Those guys did a nice job of putting on a little bit of pressure. My hats off to them."

On the trash-talking between the Jets and the Dolphins: "I don’t know about this division, but I think it’s normal from what I’m gathering, and I’m new at this, but normal between the Jets and the Dolphins. I’m not a big fan of it."

QB CHAD HENNE

On rebounding from the loss last week: "I thought last week we didn’t respond on offense the way we wanted to. Today I thought we did a great job overall. Special teams did a great job and our defense did an incredible job. To get a win after that big loss in the division is definitely a big plus."

On his first start on the road: "It was hostile environment. I expected it to be just how it was. It was a back-and-forth game and luckily we came out with a win. We need to look at it on film and continue to improve and get better."

On Ted Ginn Jr.’s game: "I don’t think anyone is happier than our team to have Ted come out with that type of game and respond. It’s a great feeling for him and us for him to get his confidence back and can make big plays like that. It’s great to be a teammate of his. He was just ready to go and that’s good to see from him."

On the conditions in the Meadowlands: "We actually had a perfect day. It wasn’t too cold. The wind was bearable. There was a cross-wind in there but I don’t think it affected any of our throws. It didn’t affect me. Overall it was a perfect day."

On the Jets doing similar things picked up from the Saints: "They pressured on third down like they knew we would. We had some things we were going to work with. Some of them we just didn’t make the plays. Luckily we came out and had a good drive at the end which capped it off and got us a win."

On the game: "Our defense talked a lot of smack during the week and they came out and backed it up. Thank goodness our defense came to play. They deserve the praise. In the third quarter special teams made some good plays. Ted Ginn did his thing, it was a team effort. Football games are crazy. There are no two games alike. We played a good game, came up here and got a road win, which was huge for us."

On Ted Ginn’s performance: "He deserves more respect than he gets. Not just because of his performance today, but because he loves the game of football. This is what he does. He’s a professional and it’s his life. A lot of people don’t realize that, but he showed his capabilities today. I’m happy for him, he deserves it. I see him every day and I see how hard he works. He takes a lot of flack, but he had a great day. I was really surprised the Jets kept kicking to him. He took two to the house and the last one was almost close."

There's plenty more! I just tried to pick and choose the more interesting parts. Please go here to read the rest: The Jets suck fat c*#K because they are a bunch of wusses who cannot take losses very well so they talk crap to make up for their lack of confidence/intelligence because they saw a UFO and thought it was the next coming of Christ because they are so stupid and think that margarine is butter but it really isn't butter because margarine comes in sticks and even though butter comes in sticks, you can't put it in your popcorn.........

(Sorry, had to get that out there. I hate the Jets.)
