"The most pleasant surprise of wideout Plaxico Burress' short tenure with the Jets thus far has been his willingness, when not running routes, to decimate defensive backs.

"It's tough getting those jitterbugs," Burress said. "When you've got your shot, you've gotta take it."

Burress placed bull's-eyes on two Raiders last week, and blasted them on blocks. In Week 1, he leveled Cowboys corner Michael Jenkins. He counts each knockdown and celebrates them with fellow receivers in meetings.

"It's tough on the body but it actually helps you get in better football shape," Burress said. "We're not just gonna be these receivers who pat ourselves on the butt afterward. We want to dominate our defenders on pass plays as well as runs."

Burress experienced tightness in his hamstring during practice, but Rex Ryan expects him to be fine Sunday."
