The ultimate insiders’ view of some memorable Jets characters

CORTLAND – Nick Mangold and D'Brickashaw Ferguson have seen a lot in their time together with the Jets. Since both player were drafted in 2006, the team has been through some wild times. They sat down with The Post this week and reflected on some of the memorable characters:

From Mangold

On Chad Pennington: "We were playing Miami in Miami in '06 and we're in the huddle and bullets are flying, it's crazy and Pete Kendall is sitting there and he was chirping about something, the play clock or something and he's yelling at Chad. Chad yells, 'Pete, this isn't my first rodeo. I've got this.' I'm sitting there and this is the NFL and I'm sitting in this huddle thinking, 'This really goes on. It's crazy.' Chad was confident in what he could do. He knew his stuff in and out. He was one of the smartest people I've known."

On Eric Mangini: "He was one of the smartest coaches I've been around. He knew his defense in and out. It was crazy to watch him. You know Rex knows his defense in and out but for some reason Mangini … it's like Rex is street smart where Mangini is book smart. Coming from Ohio State to that it was like, 'Wow, he really knows what he's talking about.' "

On Mark Sanchez: "My first experience with a rookie quarterback. It was interesting to have to deal with not only O-line stuff, but also what was going on behind us. We played together four years. We came real close. He's one of those guys you want to be around. He's got that personality. He remembers everything. He'll call my wife on her birthday and things like that. That's the kind of guy he is. He's one of those guys you want to be around."

On Tim Tebow: "It was interesting to have him come here and the way that season unfolded. You just wish him all the best."

From Ferguson

On Brett Favre: "His presence affected everybody in the building. He had done so much in this league. We all saw him as that Hall of Fame guy. The way he played, how he interacted, we were a little bit in awe. We had our run with Favre. That was a fun time. Some players who come in this locker room just really change how things are done. I think he was one of them."

On Rex Ryan: "Rex is one of the few coaches that I've seen that isn't scared to say anything to anyone at any time. I think he was really one of the motivations why we thought, 'You know what? We can win a Super Bowl.' Because he said we could. His passion and his belief in us as a team it was genuine. We felt it. That was something we hadn't felt in a while where we had somebody that was so passionate that it was almost as if he was contagious and everybody caught it."

On Darrelle Revis: "Revis Island. He is a very impressive player. He was one guy that everyone knew that when he is on the field you have to watch out for. There's always guys on the field that people say if we let this guy get loose or we let this guy do something, he's going to wreck the game for us. Revis was our player where people had to know where he was. People wouldn't throw to his side. People feared what he could do because every week he showed it. It was great to have him on our team. He was a quiet guy. He was a polished player who worked on his craft and really inspired players to up their game."

On Geno Smith: "He came in here, and the one thing I was very impressed with him is he took his opportunity and made the most of it. He picked up the system very well. A lot of people put pressure on the QB position because they touch everything we do. I feel like, as a younger player, he did his best. He didn't let our team down. I feel like he had a great attitude and led by his spirit. I never really saw him down even in the game when Simms came in or they tried to make changes. He didn't change as a person. He was able to weather the storm. I feel that given the opportunity he will continue to improve and become a very good quarterback. He's a good quarterback now. I think he'll be even better."
