"Jerricho Cotchery spent the week with a look of angst and anticipation on his face.

Cotchery, who's not just the most dependable receiver on the Jets he's perhaps the most dependable player on the roster, has been stewing over his uncharacteristic multi-drop performance in the Jets loss to the Packers last Sunday.

That left him desperate to get back onto the field and erase the taste of the last game.

"I wish I could have played a game the very next day," Cotchery said.

He called the Packers game, in which he had at least two critical drops in the fourth quarter alone, perhaps his worst game as a pro.

"It was nothing I'm used to," he said. "But everything isn't 'Pleasantville.' You can't expect everything to go right. Unfortunately, you have some of those games and the worst thing is sitting on it all week."

Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, who calls Cotchery one of the favorite players he ever has coached, said he felt Cotchery's pain from the game."
