JETS GETTING USED TO FAVRE (1:12 p.m. ET)
Playing with Brett Favre is taking some getting used to by the Jets' receivers.
"I've never played with a quarterback who has a no-look pass in his repertoire," rookie tight end Dustin Keller said, according to Newsday.
Tight end Bubba Franks, who played in Green Bay the past eight seasons before signing with the Jets as a free agent, knows what Keller means. "There is no such thing as a decoy route, not as long as you have Brett back there," Franks told the Lower Hudson Journal News. "I tell the guys, even when you're covered, you're not really covered. If you have two hands, two arms, you're not covered. He's going to hit one of them. As long as you can see him, he can see you."
