RPT: Jets inquired with Eagles about Jackson

BY NICK ST. DENIS

A Philadelphia Eagles reunion is in the works in Florham Park this week. At least that's what it feels like.

Quarterback Michael Vick will be visiting the New York Jets' premises Friday to talk with the team about possibly joining forces. One would assume offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg, who coached Vick in Philly, will have a voice in that discussion.

And apparently another one of Vick and Mornhinweg's old co-workers is on Gang Green's radar, too.

Westhoff talks keys to containing Jackson on return

BY NICK ST. DENIS

Avoiding a DeSean Jackson punt return by booting the ball out of bounds every time is unrealistic, so Mike Westhoff will just coach up his punt coverage team the best he can.

Westhoff, the New York Jets' special teams coordinator, said the Philadelphia Eagles do a good job creating a pocket when rushing the punter, which doesn't allow the punter time or space to aim the kick left or right. Because of that, Jackson will have a chance to return almost every punt that comes his direction.
