"The Tony Sparano/new-sheriff-in-town story already is getting a
lot of play, but TE Dustin Keller made some interesting remarks
Tuesday night at the annual United Way Gridiron Gala at the Waldorf
Astoria in Manhattan.

Keller made no mention of former O.C. Brian Schottenheimer, but he
observed that "guys are playing more attention to details now, more
than ever." And to think, training camp hasn't even begun. The Jets
are in the infancy stage of the season.

If a player makes a mental mistake, Sparano "is coming down on
you," Keller said. "That’s how it’s going to be all season. I think
he definitely runs a tighter ship than I've seen from anyone
before. He’s not going to let guys slip up. That’s when problems
arise. It’s going to continue. You can tell, it's not a one-day
thing or an OTA thing. This thing is going to keep on going and
going. I think we need it."

Keller, smiling, added, "Most guys, when they’re yelling, they lose
their voice eventually. But he can maintain it for a long time.""

and

"TE Dustin Keller, who also attended the event, said Tony Sparano's
system
includes a larger variety of blocking calls than the previous
system. That,
he believes, will solve some pass-protection issues ... OT Vladimir
Ducasse
said he's been working exclusively at right tackle in early drills.
Ducasse,
a two-year disappointment, acknowledged "this is a big year for
me." He didn't
make any bold declarations about overtaking incumbent Wayne Hunter,
saying
only that his "ultimate goal" is to start."

With Sparano on the job, the Jet offense will be one of the least
penalized in the league. Hunter and Ducasee may become different
guys... BETTER ONES. Also expect some sense to be seen in what play
follows the next. I dont expect to see Sanchez sulking... If Holmes
opens his pie hole, he'll wish he hadnt.

I have been saying and I will continue to say...

Getting rid of Schotty and adding Sparano made the Jets a whole new
team. A MUCH better one.

This is great... The Jets get out from under Schotty and Sparano gets
out from under Ross and Ireland... The Jets and Sparano deserve each
other.
