Wilson won’t be the Band-Aid solution this time around

This will be entirely different.

Wilson won't be the Band-Aid solution this time around. He's not a two-game fill-in. He'll have to be the answer for the rest of the Jets' season.

He doesn't have to be Revis - no one can do that - but Wilsonneeds to be good, out in the open, when he's one-on-one with starting receivers.

But working in his favor, Wilson is two years older, two years wiser. Thinking back to how he felt playing against the Dolphins and Bills in 2010 with no Revis, Wilson said he sees the game better now.

Shell gave officers the name of Smith's workplace

Shell gave officers the name of Smith's workplace. And upon arrival, authorities said Smith acknowledged calling airport police from a payphone to say that Shell was carrying liquid explosives.

Smith said he did it to "avenge" his new girlfriend because Shell had posted a compromising picture of her on Facebook, the affidavit said.

"It is the kind of photo that would incense a boyfriend," said Brennan, Smith's lawyer.

Smith, 26, of Philadelphia, was charged with conveying false information that interfered with aviation and using an instrument of commerce — the phone — to do so.

If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000 and possible restitution.
