"When Brian Schottenheimer first saw Jerricho Cotchery was healthy enough to play in today's game against the Dolphins at the Meadowlands, the Jets offensive coordinator admitted he got a "warm and fuzzy" feeling.

It meant for the first time since the Jets acquired Braylon Edwards from the Browns, they would have their top two receivers at full strength in an offense that needs to be more than one-dimensional.

Sure, the Jets will take their bows for being just the second NFL team in five decades to rush for more than 300 yards in back-to-back games. But, ultimately, they envision having an offense that not only can ground-and-pound opponents, but also riddle them with air strikes as well.

With Cotchery back from a hamstring injury and the versatile Brad Smith available after missing two games with a strained quadriceps, despite losing Leon Washington for the season (broken fibula), the Jets' potential on offense never has looked brighter. The added firepower in the receiving corps mixed with the explosive production from the running game gives the Jets (4-3) the potential for a multiple-threat offense that would be difficult to defend."
