FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - Percy Harvins role with the New York Jets on Sunday is shrouded in mystery.The newly acquired wide receiver could play a few snaps on offence. Or, a lot.He might play in the slot, on the outside running deep patterns or come out of the backfield. Or, all three.Hes just getting himself sort of integrated right now, so well see, offensive co-ordinator Marty Mornhinweg said Thursday. Lets get to game day here. Weve got another day and a half here. Well see exactly how he can integrate himself for us.Thing is, the Jets arent quite sure how much of the playbook Harvin will have down by kickoff against Buffalo. And, even if they did, theyll just keep everyone guessing — especially the Bills.Again, hes been here how many days, six? Six days, Mornhinweg said. So its been sort of a speed deal here for him. And so things are going to calm down here and then well see.Harvin, acquired last week from Seattle for a conditional draft pick, brings a game-changing presence to the passing attack that ranks second-worst in the NFL. Hes a playmaker looking for another chance on an offence that has been searching for someone just like him.Im excited about what he can bring to the table, quarterback Geno Smith said. I know that hes a very dynamic player and he works hard. For the most part, we have to see once we get out there on the field.Harvin acknowledged that he was a bit frustrated by the lack of chances he had on deep plays with Seattle, unable to take full advantage of his blazing speed. Coach Rex Ryan intimated that the Jets could use Harvin differently from how he was used by the Seahawks and, before that, the Minnesota Vikings.I think he has the tools to do that, Jets wide receivers coach Sanjay Lal said. His natural ability is off the charts. I see the skys the limit of what this guy can do.That means all bets are off on how Harvin will impact New Yorks offence. It also doesnt necessarily mean that Mornhinweg will tear up the playbook and tailor it to include his new toy.This isnt video games, Smith said. Weve got to go out and play football.The Jets are mired in a six-game skid and are in danger of losing seven in a row for the first time since Herm Edwards last season in 2005. The focus is on Smith, the second-year quarterback who has yet to prove he is the franchises answer at the position.Bringing in Harvin, however, will only help. Adding him to a mix that includes Eric Decker, Jeremy Kerley, Chris Ivory, Chris Johnson, Jace Amaro and Jeff Cumberland makes a shaky offence suddenly one that could do some damage on the scoreboard. One things for sure: Harvin will return kicks against the Bills. Maybe punts, too.All you want to do is try to get the ball in his hands, Decker said. Ive seen it firsthand in the Super Bowl.That would be last season, when Deckers Broncos were getting blown out by the Seahawks at MetLife Stadium, helped by Harvins 87-yard kickoff return to open the second half.Hes very versatile, Decker said. After you get the ball in his hands, he can do some explosive stuff.But make no mistake about it: The Jets view Harvin as much more than just a gadget-type player who can catch a defence off guard and make an opponent pay with a long play. He was brought to New York to be a significant part of the offence, but the question remains whether that begins this weekend or later this season.The fine line is hes been here such a little (bit of) time, Lal said. By overloading a player like this, you dont want to take away his speed. So if hes thinking too much in a game, if you overload him mentally, he wont play fast.Lal has spent several hours with Harvin during the last few days, reviewing the playbook in one-on-one meetings at the teams facility. Its a crash course scenario that has included practice and brainstorming sessions.And, Harvin has made quite the first impression. Lal shook his head when asked if hes ever coached a wide receiver quite like Harvin.No, Lal said firmly. And thats a compliment.Harvins athletic ability will allow Mornhinweg to potentially get creative, as he did in Philadelphia when he had do-it-all receivers such as DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin. That, of course, could mean only good things for the Jets offence.Whether that means five snaps or 50 on Sunday.It does influence the rest of the fellas, Mornhinweg said. Were going to do what we do and try to integrate him just a little bit there. Well see what happens.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Adidas Tubular Shadow Norge .

The news raised hopes around the practice facility that he will play this week at Arizona. But coach Smith cautiously hedged, saying Monday the Falcons "anticipate" Jackson will return to the teams first practice of the week. The running back has been held out since pulling the hamstring on Sept. 15 against the Rams. Smith said Jackson will be watched closely, especially on Wednesday. "This is all based on what the doctor will say in terms of how much he will participate in practice as we go through the week," Smith said. "When we left out of here on Friday, everything was very good in terms of his testing and the opportunity to return to play. "We are anticipating well get him in and well see how he handles it. Youve got to go in and take it one day at a time when youre coming back from an injury. Obviously youre not going to go out there and have him participate fully in a practice the first day hes back." Smith said adjustments and corrections made during the bye week played a big role in Atlantas 31-23 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday. Smith said he and his staff spent the bye week "looking at everything we do" before the Falcons ended their three-game losing streak. "A number of things we did during the bye week I think paid dividends," he said. Some of the biggest changes were on defence, including a deeper rotation on the defensive front with rookie defensive ends Stansly Maponga and Malliciah Goodman added to the mix. Maponga was limited in training camp while recovering from ankle surgery. The Falcons used the bye week to add depth to the defensive line rotation. "I thought it worked very well for us," Smith said. "We had much better pressure. We were able to sack the quarterback three times. We had opportunities for a couple other plays, but I thought it was nice to see some of the younger guys stepping up." Also, rookie cornerbacks Desmond Trufant and Robert Alford had new rolees with Trufant playing the nickel back and Alford moving outside in passing situations.dddddddddddd Smith said the Falcons also wanted to play more of an attacking style on defence. The more aggressive style showed when safeties William Moore and Thomas DeCoud each blitzed on Tampa Bays second play of the game. Moore sacked quarterback Mike Glennon, forcing a fumble, and DeCoud returned the recovery 30 yards for a touchdown. Defensive co-ordinator Mike Nolan moved to the field from the press box level for the game so he could have better communication with the players, including the two-safety blitz which produced the defensive touchdown. "It was a great play call by coach Nolan," Moore said. "He called it and we executed it perfectly and got a big turnover." The offence also made some changes. Darius Johnson was promoted from the practice squad to add depth at receiver following Julio Jones season-ending foot injury and Roddy Whites hamstring and ankle injuries. White was inactive for the first time in his nine-year career. Johnson had two catches and Drew Davis had a 24-yard catch, his first of the season. Harry Douglas led Atlanta with seven catches for 149 yards and a touchdown. Smith wouldnt update Whites status on Monday. Jacksons return could provide another boost for the Falcons (2-4), who managed only 18 yards rushing against the Buccaneers. Jackson, 30, signed a three-year, $12 million deal with Atlanta after posting eight straight seasons with more than 1,000 yards rushing at St. Louis. Jacquizz Rodgers and Jason Snelling have shared the carries the last four games. Rodgers caught two touchdown passes from Matt Ryan but neither had success running the ball against the Buccaneers. The Falcons biggest gain on the ground was only seven yards. The good news was Ryan was not sacked while completing 20 of 26 passes for 273 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions. "I thought our pass protection probably was as good as it has been all season long," Smith said. "Obviously we have to do better running the football." ' ' '
