Morning take: Holmes criticizes Jets' O-line

Here are the most interesting stories Friday morning in the AFC East: New York Jets receiver Santonio Holmescriticizes the offensive linefor the team's struggles on offense. Morning take: I agree with Holmes, although airing it out publicly may not be the best course of action. The Jets need a win bad, simply to end in-house bickering for at least one week.

The Buffalo Bills havebeen lights outin the red zone, scoring points on all 20 trips. Morning take: And the Bills have scored 15 touchdowns in those trips. It doesn't seem natural that a spread offense would be so good close to the goal line. But Buffalo has had a lot of success with short passes and hard running by tailback Fred Jackson.

The New England Patriots reportedlyworked out two defensive linemen: Marcus Hairston and Pierre Allen. Morning take: The Patriots are short-handed after putting Mike Wright on injured reserve with a concussions. Albert Haynesworth's back also has been an issue this season.

Here is more on Miami Dolphins receiver Brandon Marshall's vowto turn it onMonday night against the Jets. Morning take: Marshall has worked hard to keep his emotions in check and doesn't believe that's helped. Football is an emotional game and there's always a fine line. Maybe this change will bring back Marshall's old productions and consistency.
