SPEAKING
''I am shocked. I expect more out of our offense. Every year is different. It's a little deflating, man. You think you're really close and right when you think it's going to be easy, whether in sport or life, you get slapped in the face and humbled. It's disappointing, but that's just the story of life. It's never easy. This is hard, football is hard. It's not for the weary.'' - Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall after his team's 27-17 loss to Seattle.
