NEW FACES: The Jets, playoffs participants in three-of-the-last four seasons
under Executive Vice President & GM Terry Bradway and Head Coach Herm
Edwards’ direction, continue to infuse the team with new faces. In total, 45 of
the players on the Jets’ roster, not including injured reserve, have been brought
in since Bradway and Edwards took over the reigns of the organization. The Jets
brought in 20 new faces in 2004 and 18 new players this season.
MARTIN THE WORKHORSE: RB Curtis Martin embodies Head Coach Herm
Edwards’ mantra that the Jets are a blue-collar team. Martin, from the mean
streets of Pittsburgh, could enjoy true superstar treatment should he ever opt for
it. Yet, the RB, in his 11th season and the fourth all-time leading rusher in NFL
history, has been the mainstay of the Jets’ offense this season, with 82 carries
for 226 yards on the ground and 10 receptions for 45 yards. Martin has
averaged a franchise-record 85.6 yards per game rushing since 1998 with the
Jets, his first season in Gotham.

Ravens Take 3-0 Lead: The Ravens’ Matt Stover connected on a 42-yard field
goal with 6:31 remaining in the first quarter, ending a 10-play, 32-yard drive in
4:50 in time of possession.
Baltimore Extends Lead with Second Field Goal: Stover hit a 25-yard field
goal with 3:47 left in the second quarter, ending a nine-play, 65 yard drive in
5:33. The field goal gave the Ravens a 6-0 lead.
Barrett FF & Hobson FR: CB David Barrett stripped Jamal Lewis following a
one-yard run, strong-side LB Victor Hobson alertly scooped up the ball and
returned it 43-yards to the Baltimore 1. The Jets, however, lost two-yards on the
drive and settled for a Mike Nugent 21-yard field goal, cutting the Ravens’ lead to
6-3. It was Barrett’s second forced fumble in as many weeks, having stripped
Jacksonville wide receiver Reggie Williams of the ball last week and the forced
fumble this week. It also marked the third turnover caused by Barrett in the last
three games, as he intercepted a Gus Frerotte in the Jets’ game two win against
the Miami Dolphins.
Ravens Up Lead; Register Final Points of the Game: The Ravens extended
their lead to 13-3 with a Jamal Lewis one-yard TD run with 3:12 left in the third
quarter, ending a 12-play, 71 yard drive in 8:05.
Coleman Interception Rounds Out Secondary Sweep: FS Erik Coleman
intercepted an Anthony Wright deep pass in the Jets’ end zone intended for WR
Clarence Moore in the fourth quarter. Despite playing with a surgically repaired
broken thumb, Coleman positioned himself perfectly on the pass. In doing so, he
joined fellow starting secondary members Ty Law, David Barrett and Kerry
Rhodes with an interception thus far this season. Last season Coleman had a
team-high four interceptions.
Brown Steps In: Third-year linebacker Mark Brown stepped in and replaced an
injured Eric Barton at the jack linebacker spot and responded with 12 tackles,
the second most on the team. The former rookie free agent from Auburn has
played every linebacking spot for the Jets the last three seasons, having stepped
in and replaced an injured Victor Hobson for six games last season. Brown’s 12
tackles on Sunday were a career-high, and matched his tackle output from the
entire 2004 season.
DID YOU KNOW? The last time Curtis Martin lost a fumble to the opposing
team was on November 2, 2003 vs. the Giants in the second quarter. Martin has
touched the ball 724 times (652 rushes and 72 receptions) since his last lost
fumble that was recovered by an opponent during the regular season. In game
two, Martin was stopped on a fourth-and-goal in the second quarter against
Miami. On the play, Martin fumbled and the ball was recovered in the end zone
by Jerald Sowell. However, it was not ruled a touchdown as the only person who
could recover the ball for the Jets would have been Martin. Thus, he was credited
with one rush for zero yards and the Jets turned the ball over on downs, thus in a
twist, Martin was not officially credited with a fumble, keeping his streak intact.

HEAD OF HIS CLASS: Herm Edwards was one of six coaches to be named a
head coach prior to the start of the 2001 season. Of the six head coaches, only
two are with the team that hired them, Edwards and Kansas City’s Dick Vermeil.
Besides the aforementioned two, the only other coach that is currently a head
coach is Marty Schottenheimer, who was hired by the Washington Redskins in
2001 and then had his contract terminated at the conclusion of the season. He
subsequently was named as the head coach of the San Diego Chargers before
the 2002 season.
Edwards is tied with his former Head Coach Dick Vermeil for the most wins (36),
and owns the second highest-winning percentage (.532), is the only one of the
six coaches to have guided his team to multiple playoff appearances (three) and
is joined by his former head coach, Vermeil, as the only two coaches to have
garnered a division title.

Coach Edwards have seen fit to award me,’ Martin said after signing a contract
extension prior to the start of the 2002 season.
BOLLINGER TAKES OVER: Third-year quarterback Brooks Bollinger took over
the reigns of the Jets’ offense for game four at Baltimore after both Chad
Pennington and Jay Fiedler suffered shoulder injuries against the Jacksonville
Jaguars on September 26. Bollinger, the son of former University of North
Dakota offensive coordinator Robert Bollinger, the current associate athletic
director at the school, was a four-year starter at Wisconsin, where he compiled a
30-12 record and led the school to a Rose Bowl win in 1999. The 2003 sixth-
round draft choice (200th overall) of the Jets entered the game having only played
in one previous NFL contest, at Jets’ win at Arizona on November 28, 2004,
when he replaced a woozy Quincy Carter and went five-of-nine passing for 60
yards.

Herm Edwards
Head Coach
Fifth Season with Jets
26th Season in NFL
Fifth Season as Head Coach in NFL
Edwards was named the Jets' 13th full-time head coach on January 18, 2001.
Edwards’ leadership style is a unique combination of honesty, innovation,
motivation and trust. He applies a wealth of knowledge gleaned from years of
playing the game at the highest level, combined with having learned the
intricacies of the game from some of the most astute people in the National
Football League, such as Kansas City’s Dick Vermeil and Indianapolis’ Tony
Dungy. He also has worked alongside and for some of the most respected
minds in the annals of football, including Carl Peterson, Mike White, Marion
Campbell, Marty Schottenheimer, Bill Cowher, Dan Henning, Ernie Zampese,
Lovie Smith and John Fox, among others. Additionally, Edwards was teammates
with some of the top players in the NFL in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s,
including Ron Jaworski, Bill Bergey, Harold Carmichael, Wilbert Montgomery and
John Bunting.
Relying on a respect-based managing style, keen preparation and a belief in his
players and coaching staff, Edwards has consistently managed a diverse roster
featuring solid, experienced and youthful players into believing in a common goal

Hall of Fame, (71, 1963-73), Joe Walton (53, 1983-89) and Walt Michaels (39,
1977-82). The Jets’ thrilling 20-17 overtime victory at San Diego on January 8,
2005, marked the first postseason win on the road for the Jets since January 15,
1983, when the Jets defeated the Los Angeles Raiders in the venerable L.A.
Coliseum, 17-14. Edwards earned his first division title with the Jets in 2002,
helping to rally the team from a 2-5 start to the AFC East crown in the ultra-
competitive division. The AFC East title marked the Club’s second division title
since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970 and the Jets’ back-to-back playoff
appearances were the first for the organization since the 1985-86 seasons.

finest coaches in the NFL in adverse situations, helped the Jets rally from a two-
game slide and the loss of Chad Pennington in early November with two big road
wins in a row, thus closing out the month of November 3-2. The team was 2-2 in
the month of December and posted an impressive 6-2 home record in 2004.
Edwards’ team maintained its highly-disciplined style of play, combining a
pounding rushing game, featuring the NFL’s leading rusher in ’04 in Curtis Martin
(1,697), and a passing attack that was without starting QB Chad Pennington for
three games through the middle portion of the season.
The Jets’ defense showed a marked improvement from the previous season, and
surrendered an average of only 16.3 ppg, the third-lowest average of points
allowed in the team’s 45-year history, bested only by the mark in 1993 (15.4) and
1985 (15.9). The Jets’ defense limited opposing offenses to a 38.0 percent
conversion success on third downs and surrendered more than 20 points in a
game only five times throughout the season (weeks one, two, 10, 16 and 17).
2003 SEASON (JETS)
The Jets’ 2003 season got off to a rocky start in the third preseason contest
against the New York Giants when QB Chad Pennington suffered a fractured
hand that required immediate surgery and shelved him for nearly half of the
season. The Jets fell into a hole and finished with a 6-10 record. Edwards,
though, responded by keeping the Jets competitive through the entire season,
with key wins at Oakland in overtime (11/2/03), a thrilling comeback win over the
Jaguars (11/23/03) and an emotional Monday Night home game against the
Tennessee Titans, 24-17, as well as a win against the Pittsburgh Steelers, 6-0, in
a driving snowstorm (12/14/03) at The Meadowlands, the Jets’ first win against
the Steelers since 1988. Edwards, following the season, vowed that he would
increase measures to insure the team got off to a quicker start the following
season and also took measures to improve the Jets’ defensive style and brought
in aggressive first-year defensive coordinator Donnie Henderson from the
Baltimore Ravens.
2002 SEASON (JETS)
Edwards was one of just two AFC coaches to take his Club to back-to-back
playoff appearances in 2001 and 2002, joining Pittsburgh’s Bill Cowher (the
Oakland Raiders also accomplished the feat, in 2001 under Jon Gruden and in
2002 under Bill Callahan). As the head coach, Edwards guided the Jets to the
best regular-season road record in his first two seasons (11-5).
The always quotable and insightful Edwards and his now-famous mantra, “You
Play to Win The Game,” was one of the most lasting memories of the 2002 NFL
season and became the Jets’ rallying cry for their remarkable second half of the
season comeback, turning a tumultuous 2-5 start into a stretch where the Jets
captured seven of their last nine games, earning the division title.
The Jets’ 2002 AFC East title was a product of the team winning eight of the last
10 regular season games, seven of the last nine, three of the last four and four in
a row at home. In addition, the Jets’ 41-0 playoff win over the Indianapolis Colts
Page 17 of 46
NEW YORK JETS VS. BUCCANEERS 10.9.05
in the postseason was the first playoff shutout in Club history and marked the
second most points scored in a shutout win in NFL annals, while the 41 points
scored were the second-most in team history in a playoff game.
2001 SEASON (JETS)
In Edwards’ first season with the Jets (2001) he oversaw the implementation of
new offensive, defensive and special teams philosophies. Edwards kept a
forceful hand on the controls and guided the Jets to their first playoff appearance
since 1998. Edwards was the only coach out of six newcomers in their first year
with their respective teams in 2001 to earn a playoff spot. Besides his 10-win
season, perhaps the most indicative statistic supporting the effectiveness and
diligence of Edwards’ coaching style was the discipline the team displayed,
garnering an NFL-low 63 penalties for a league-low 507 yards.
The Jets set a franchise mark for most road wins in a season, 7-1, which topped
their 5-2 record in 1968. Additionally, the Green and White’s 7-1 road record tied
them with Philadelphia for the second-most wins in 2001 (STL, 8-0).
Edwards’ 2001 Jets led the NFL in turnover differential with a +18, a margin of
one over their closest rival, Edwards’ former club, Tampa Bay, who finished with
a +17 ratio. The Jets produced the second-most take-aways (39) in the AFC and
tied with the Bucs for second most in the NFL behind Cleveland’s 42. The Jets
also proved to be frugal in turning the ball over, relinquishing it just 21 times all
season, tied for the fewest in the AFC with Seattle and Pittsburgh and trailed only
San Francisco’s 19 in the NFL.
Edwards received numerous accolades throughout his rookie coaching campaign
for his willingness and cooperation with the media. He was awarded the Staples
NFL Coach of the Week Award following the Jets’ 21-17 comeback win over the
Miami Dolphins on October 14, 2001.
TAMPA BAY (1996-2000)
The former NFL standout defensive back earned the reputation as an excellent
communicator and one of the best teachers during his time spent as assistant
head coach/defensive backfield coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1996-
2000). At Tampa, he worked closely with current Indianapolis Colts and former
Bucs’ head coach Tony Dungy in the day-to-day administrative dealings
associated with the head coach’s role.
While with the Bucs, Edwards helped the secondary become one of the NFL's
consistently top-ranked units. In 2000, CB Donnie Abraham (team-high 7 INT)
and FS John Lynch (3 INT) each earned Pro Bowl recognition. Collectively, the
group recorded 25 interceptions, which tied for first in the NFC and third in the
NFL while the Bucs' 41 take-aways tied for second in the NFC and fourth in the
NFL. The Bucs’ defense also finished +17 in the plus/minus category, tops in the
NFC and tied for third best in the NFL. The Bucs’ defense finished fourth in the
NFC in total defense, allowing 300.0 yards per game (ninth in NFL). Under his
tutelage the Bucs finished in the top 10 in pass defense in four-of-the-five

NEW YORK JETS VS. BUCCANEERS 10.9.05
preseason game and proceeded to start the next 135 regular season games
during his Eagle career. His career was highlighted by second team All-NFC
honors in 1980 and 1982 and an appearance in Super Bowl XV, a 27-10 Raiders
win over the Eagles. He departed Philadelphia with 33 career interceptions,
which currently ranks third in the Eagles’ record books. In addition, he recorded
five postseason interceptions, and when combined with his regular-season
interception total, his 38 interceptions stand as a team-record.
Edwards gained fame for one of the most memorable plays in Meadowlands
history when he recovered a fumble by NY Giants’ QB Joe Pisarcik and returned
it 26 yards for a touchdown with 31 seconds remaining in Philadelphia's 19-17
"Miracle in the Meadowlands" win on November 19, 1978.
In his final NFL season as a player, Edwards' played in four games for the Los
Angeles Rams and three for the Atlanta Falcons, before announcing his
retirement during the season on November 11, 1986.
COLLEGE (1972-76)
Edwards began his college career at the University of California-Berkeley and
played there in 1972 and 1974. He earned Pac-8 (now Pac-10) honors and set a
Golden Bears’ record with four interceptions in one game. He played the 1973
season at Monterey Peninsula Junior College and his senior season at San
Diego State.

Robert Wood Johnson (RWJ) University Hospital, the Greater New York City
Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation (Komen Greater
NYC), Davis Vision and the Jets Women’s Organization (JWO) present Jets’
Breast Cancer Awareness Day on October 9, 2005, at The Meadowlands. The
event’s goal is to create public awareness and education on the issue of breast
cancer and to promote the early detection steps for disease prevention.
Prior to the New York Jets’ kickoff at 1:00 p.m. against the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers, JWO members and Komen Greater NYC volunteers will distribute
25,000 pink bracelets at the stadium gates and collect donations upon entry into
the game. In addition, the New York Jets will donate five dollars to Komen
Greater NYC for every pink hat bought during the 2005 season online at
http://shop.newyorkjets.com or at the stadium. JWO founder Lia Edwards,
Komen Greater NYC Communications Director, Adrienne Scordato, and Breast
Cancer Program Leader in the Women’s Imaging Center at RWJ University
Hospital, Margie McDonald, will serve as honorary captains for the opening coin
toss.
The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation was established in 1982 to
eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease by advancing research,
education, screening and treatment. Komen is a global leader and the largest
private source of funding in the fight against breast cancer. The Greater New
York City Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation was formed
in 1990 and serves the five boroughs of NYC (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan,
Queens and Staten Island), Long Island, Rockland and Westchester counties.
