FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - The New York Jets issues at cornerback this season could be summed up with one look at the guys who finished the game last Sunday.Marcus Williams and Josh Thomas.Wait, who? Well, exactly.One — Williams — was signed off the practice squad five days before the Jets played at Kansas City. The other — Thomas — was signed a month ago as a free agent and made his Jets debut against the Chiefs. Its not exactly Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie patrolling the secondary, as coach Rex Ryan had back there for a few years.Its also one of the biggest criticisms of general manager John Idzik, that he didnt sufficiently bolster the cornerback spot through free agency and the draft.Last week, defensive co-ordinator Dennis Thurman half-jokingly — maybe — said: I know a couple of their numbers.And, just when the Jets didnt think things could get worse, Ben Roethlisberger, coming off two straight games with six touchdown passes, is coming to town with the Pittsburgh Steelers.Scary doesnt come to mind, Ryan said Thursday when asked of the task his secondary is facing. Yeah, youre concerned, but its more about what youre facing. The guys we have in the building, theres some good players over there that we have and its the collective effort of all 11. It doesnt just fall on whos playing right corner or left corner.We have some guys that can play. They all can play.And, they all have. Ryan and Thurman have used several combinations at cornerback throughout the season because of injuries, inconsistency or ineffectiveness. Ryan also acknowledged that he has played much more zone coverage than man-to-man, which is usually a constant with his defences.When Dee Milliner went down with a high ankle sprain during training camp and third-round draft pick Dexter McDougle was lost for the season with a knee injury, safety Antonio Allen was switched to cornerback in what was called an experiment by Thurman.It lasted more than halfway through the season.Milliner was lost for the year with a torn right Achilles tendon and free-agent addition Dimitri Patterson was cut after he was first suspended for an unexcused absence before a preseason game. So, Allen ended up starting opposite Darrin Walls on opening day. After weeks of struggles, though, Ryan hinted that Allen might be moving back to safety for the rest of the season.You can complain about it or you could just be quiet and go to work as usual, Allen said. Thats what I came and did. I did my best. I probably gave up a touchdown every game but, hey, that was the sacrifice that I was willing to give up.Its difficult to blame Allen, who showed promise last season at safety before being forced into the position switch.He has tried to do everything that we have asked him to do, Thurman said.Ryan acknowledged that the Jets held an in-season competition at cornerback last week, with the reward being playing time. Williams, despite being a newcomer, outperformed everyone and earned the start. The undrafted rookie out of North Dakota State spent the first month of the season on Houstons practice squad, was released at the end of September — and is now looking at potentially making his second straight start for the Jets.He has picked up the defence fairly well, Thurman said. He has had a couple of breakdowns, but for the most part he went out and competed and I thought he fared pretty well for his first start. Well give him more playing time.But it remains to be seen who might be on the opposite side of Williams. It appears Walls, dealing with a calf issue, wont play for the second consecutive game.So, it could be Philip Adams, who has started one other game at cornerback and has the Jets only interception this season. Or, Kyle Wilson, a first-round pick in 2010 who has been plugged in as the regular nickel back. Or, perhaps Thomas, who had two tackles and a pass defenced against the Chiefs.At times, Phillip has done a good job, Ryan said. You had last week with Josh Thomas and Williams. They havent been with us the whole time, but theyve been with us long enough. They know what we do. ... Were confident in our guys.NOTES: WR Jeremy Kerley missed practice because of an unspecified personal reason, and Ryan said Kerley also will likely miss Fridays session but is expected to play Sunday. ... DLs Muhammad Wilkerson and Sheldon Richardson and RT Breno Giacomini all returned to practice after missing Wednesday with illnesses. ...

Ryu was a seven-time All Star in the Korean Baseball Organization, but signed a 6-year, $36 million deal with the Dodgers last winter. The left-hander adapted quickly to the majors, going 14-6 with a 3.00 ERA. "Hes such a smart, intuitive guy who has a great feel for the game of baseball," Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis said. "Weve really grown together, him and I working together. Hes grown with a lot of guys on the team." However, Ryu went just 2-5 over his final seven starts, while also dealing with a back ailment that forced him to miss a start in early September. Ryu raised some eyebrows on Friday when he tossed a bullpen session in front of the Dodgers team surgeon. Everyone has insisted that he is fine, though. "Actually, I feel really good right now. My goal is just to get my body ready to be able to go out there and win, and take the lead of the series," Ryu said on Saturday. "Typically, when I rest longer than normal, I always squeeze in a bullpen in there just to make sure that my body is responding the way I want it to." Ryu will also become the first South Korean pitcher to start a postseason game. Chan Ho Park and Byung-Hyun Kim have combined to make 21 postseason appearances, but neither ever started a game. "Its a huge motivation to know that an entire countrys going to be watching the game," Ryu said. "But equally important is the fans here at Dodger Stadium and the Korean community here. I understand there are going to be a lot of them coming out (Sunday), but its a big encouragement for me." Atlanta, meaanwhile, will counter with a rookie hurler of its own in right- hander Julio Teheran, who was 14-8 with a 3.dddddddddddd20 ERA. Teheran got better as the season wore on and pitched to a 2.97 ERA after the All-Star break. "Hes a young kid," Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "Weve seen him for 162 games. He just keeps getting better and maturing with experience, and I think weve just seen the tip of the iceberg with him." After losing to Clayton Kershaw in Game 1, Atlanta evened the best-of-five series on Friday, as lefty Mike Minor gave up one run in 6 1/3 innings and the Braves held on for a 4-3 win to knot the series at a game apiece. Jason Heywards two-run single in the seventh gave Atlanta the insurance runs it needed for its first postseason win in three years. Hanley Ramirezs two-run homer in the eighth got the Dodgers within a run, but Craig Kimbrel came on for a four-out save. "Every night in the postseason is a must-win game for us," said Heyward. "You dont want to ever think its OK to lose. Thats been our attitude all year. I feel like any team thats in the postseason says we need to win tonight and we came up big." Kimbrel walked two in the ninth, but Gerald Laird threw out pinch-runner Dee Gordon on a close play and Kimbrel struck out Carl Crawford with a runner on first to end the game. "We came in and got one out of two in here," said Crawford. "We knew it was going to be a tough place to play with the crowd and everything. We had the opportunity to win two. We just gotta go back and get back on track." Atlanta won five of its seven regular-season matchups with the Dodgers this season. However, these teams havent met in the postseason since the Braves swept the NLDS back in 1996.
