Jets Mecole Hardman expecting to see action after taking backseat



ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Jets signed wide receiver Mecole Hardman to a one-year, $4 million contract this offseason and talked excitedly about what he could bring to their offense.

In Week 1, he played zero snaps on offense and one on special teams.

It was an odd thing to see Hardman barely get on the field.

The Jets said Hardman was a part of the plan going in against the Bills, but things changed once Aaron Rodgers was injured.

The team went to more running formations, with more tight ends and fewer receivers, and that left Hardman on the bench.

"You kind of know what was going on, man," Hardman said. "When Aaron went down and everything transpired, I think everybody got out of whack and everything. I don't blame them for it. I think it was just something that happened, and hopefully this week I can get some looks out there, some opportunities to make plays."

Head coach Robert Saleh explained what happened.

"Obviously with Aaron, there was a certain plan that was in place, and so when Aaron went down, we shifted gears to a different style of football," Saleh said. "A lot of the things that Aaron wanted to do was three receiver sets and once he was out of the game, we went to a different type of offense. We pivoted, especially at halftime. Credit to the offensive staff making the adjustments we needed to make to be able to start moving the ball and get points on the board. So, that wasn't the plan."

Hardman anticipates having a role this week against the Cowboys.

"I hope so. That's the mindset," Hardman said. "I'm just about the team winning. If we can win, I'm all for it."

Cowboys RB Tony Pollard rushed for 70 yards and two touchdowns on 14 carries last week against the Giants.

With Ezekiel Elliott now in New England, Pollard is the man for the Cowboys.

Saleh said Dallas' decision to move on from Elliott tells you what how good Pollard is.

"When teams make a decision to keep a guy over another, they're speaking to the football world," Saleh said. "I think inside the football world, I think anyone who's ever played Dallas knows that Pollard's extremely talented, and always has been by Dallas doing what they did this off season by making him the back and the only back. Just let the rest of the world know what football already knew."

But one savvy mum has shared just the hack to help speed up the process in the mornings. The mum, who goes by the name of Azure MacCannell on TikTok, has revealed a super time saving trick. She preps all of the sandwiches for the week, and freezes them. Azure has two lines of separate pieces of bread next to each other, On one line she spreads peanut butter, and on the other line she spreads jam. Azure then places the bread on top of each other to make a sandwich, before using a crust cutter to make the sandwiches into smaller squares. She then puts them into a big container and freezes them and use them "as needed." Azure also freezes the crust for "delicious French toast sticks."

33 Crore Gods (Devi / Devtas) of Hindus

33 Crore Gods of Hindus For the believers of God, it is an accepted faith across the globe that God is one. Hindus too believe so, but then there remains a question often shaped as a mockery over Hindus about the various practices of worship rendered to innumerous God in their faith. And this question is often thrown by people, who are philosophically and religiously recognized. How come Hindu religion has 33 crore Gods? Is it sensible at all to believe and practice this? I have a question – How can one decide what is sensible and what is not, particularly when none of those great thinkers have attained perfection in realization of God, none of them have seen God, none of them have heard God. There are numerous instances where religion, religious books and their beliefs have tried to define God. Criticism is an easy thing to do but we have coins with two sides always. Realization of the positive side and its practice is not only hard to recognize but difficult to accept as well. Critic...

OSHO on Ramakrishna

Sri Ramakrishna Enlightenment Osho : There is an episode in Ramakrishna’s life.... For his whole life he had been worshipping Mother Kali, But at the very end he began to feel,”It is duality; the experience of oneness has still not happened. It is lovely, delightful, but two still remains two.” Someone loves a woman, someone loves money, someone politics; he loved Ma Kali – but love still was divided in two. Still the ultimate nonduality hadn’t happened and he was in anguish. He began looking out for a nondualist, a Vedantist – for Some person to come who could show him the path. A Paramahansa named Totapuri was passing. Ramakrishna invited him to stop with him and asked, ”Help me to have darshan of the one.” Totapuri said, ”What’s difficult in that? You believe there are two, so there are two. Drop the belief!” Ramakrishna replied, ”But dropping this belief is very difficult – I have lived with it my whole life. When I close my eyes the image of Kali is standing there. I drown ...
