According to Rich Cimini of ESPNNewYork.com, embattled wide receiver Braylon Edwards won't start for the New York Jets Sunday night against the Miami Dolphins, but not because of his drunken-driving arrest. It's because of when he was arrested, according to Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum. "We felt he didn't deserve to start based on the fact that ... not for the arrest as much as going out and being out until 5 in the morning," Tannenbaum said Sunday morning as a guest of Ian O'Connor on 1050 ESPN Radio. Tannenbaum's comment could add more fuel to the firestorm that has developed in the aftermath of Edwards' Tuesday-morning arrest on the West Side of Manhattan. The Jets have been widely criticized for not taking a harsher stance with Edwards, whose blood-alcohol level registered .16 -- twice the legal limit. Source: ESPN.com
They are just throwing up a smoke screen until Santonio Holmes isn't suspended. They need him for this game against Miami, maybe they will "rethink" it for next week vs the Bills.
