Good morning --

Welcome to the utterly charmless Meadowlands, where the Patriots will face the Jets for the last time in this building (unless New York gets home-field advantage in the playoffs).

There are several players on the field for early warmups, including Michael Matthews and Darius Butler, who are playing catch; practice squadder Isaiah Stanback, who got to make the trip, playing catch with Shawn Springs, and Eric Alexander, Leigh Bodden and Bret Lockett all going through various stretching and exercises.

Mark Sanchez -- aka "The Sanchise" -- is also on the field in shorts and a t-shirt, throwing passes to a couple of his teammates.

Jim Donaldson and I will have more updates throughout the game.
