 CORTLAND, N. .Y. -- Keyshawn Johnson wrapped his arm around Santonio Holmes shoulder and walked with him from the practice field. The two laughed a bit as they chatted for a few minutes, one controversial former New York Jets wide receiver giving advice to a current headline-maker. Yes, really. The guy who once wrote an autobiography called "Just Give Me The Damn Ball!" had some tips to share. "Pretty much big brother to little brother-type talk," Holmes said Friday after the Jets first practice of training camp. "Just teaching me how to be cordial to everybody, and to understand what gift I have for this football team and this organization, and just learning how to utilize it." It was a pep talk Holmes needed to hear. Holmes has been considered a villain since last season, when he feuded with Mark Sanchez and the offensive linemen and was benched in the regular-season finale after arguing in the huddle. Holmes also recently ruffled some feathers when he said he didnt think a two-quarterback system can work in the NFL -- despite the Jets planning to use both Sanchez and Tim Tebow on offence. Coach Rex Ryan got a bit miffed when he heard that, telling ESPN before training camp that Holmes doesnt need to act like the teams offensive co-ordinator. That, he said, is Tony Sparanos job. Holmes said it was "just a joke between us," downplaying the latest mini-controversy of which he was at the centre. "He understands me and I understand him and everything that he says," Holmes said, "and were not going to take anything from what was said in the media." Ryan was asked if Holmes comments were, in fact, just a funny thing. "Well, sure. If thats what he said, Im with him all the way," Ryan said, drawing laughter. "But no, the thing that we have to understand is that his job is to come in here and play and all that stuff. Well worry about all of those situations. Tony and I will figure all that out. Just come in here and be the great player that you are." Holmes relationship with the media can also be contentious at times, saying in a recent radio interview that beat reporters should "write positive things" about the Jets. "My advice was to not pay any attention to it," said the outspoken Johnson, who retired in 2006 after an 11-year career and is currently an analyst for ESPN. "Just go out and play, and let the play speak for you and at the end of the day, you can tell them you know what. I mean, thats the way my approach was, that Im going to play and do what I need to do and then Im going to stick my tongue out at you at the end of the day." Holmes is trying to be positive this season -- about Sanchez, Tebow, Sparano and anything else that comes up about the Jets. "Hell probably grow up a little bit," Johnson said. "I mean, if thats the proper words to use, growing up. I think hell get there. Im not worried about him." Holmes acknowledged that there was a lack of trust between all the quarterbacks and receivers last season, saying that it was "all over the place amongst us all." Things began spiraling midway through the season when he criticized the offensive line, who fired back at him. He stopped short of discussing the relationship he had last season with Sanchez. "That was last year," he said. "Were moving on right now. Lets talk about something positive and whats going on with our football team." Well, whats going on is that Sanchez looked pretty sharp on Day 1 of camp, with Holmes coming up with some nice grabs. They even high-fived each other after one early connection. "Its good to start out like that," Sanchez said. "Its amazing the psychological impact that has not just on a quarterback but on a team. It shows were all capable of plays like that. We didnt have a lot of that last year." The two have said they smoothed things over months ago, and spent a lot of time together in the off-season. "Ive learned a lot from him because weve gotten an opportunity to talk a little more on a personal level and understand each other," Holmes said, "the little things we like, the way the ball needs to be placed in each situation. I think the more we continue to work on that, its only going to get better for us." Thats a good thing for the Jets, who need Sanchez and Holmes to be on the same page at all times. They also need Holmes to stay off the back pages. "Theres so much more media out here in the world, and the scrutiny and Facebooks and social media and all that, that every little word, people hang on," Johnson said. "I think as a player, youve got to know that and let it roll right off your shoulders." NOTES: Ryan confirmed that Matt Slauson, coming off shoulder surgery, and Vladimir Ducasse are "absolutely" competing for the starting job at left guard. Slauson won the previous competition two years ago. ... Ryan said the teams plan for S LaRon Landry (Achilles/heel) is for him to be at "full-go" every third practice, but the Jets will adjust that as they go along so he doesnt overdo it. ... Rookie WR Stephen Hill, the teams second-round draft pick, impressed Johnson with a solid performance at practice that included a long touchdown catch from Sanchez off a tipped pass by Darrelle Revis. "You have soft hands," Johnson said to Hill after meeting him. "I saw you make a nice little grab there." Johnson also said he also saw some of himself in Hill, who is the same height at 6-foot-4. "Always play big," he told Hill. "Dont try to play big and be small out there." ... Jeff Otah, acquired from Carolina to compete with Wayne Hunter for the starting job at RT, still hasnt passed his physical and isnt sure if or when he will. The trade would be nullified if Otah (knee) cant complete running drills within a week. ... LB David Harris walked off the field gingerly midway through practice, favouring his right leg but came back with a wrap on a few minutes later. He said he had "a gash" in his lower leg that needed to be treated, but was "no big deal at all." . Dubnyk won 20 games in 47 appearances for the Oilers last season. The six-foot-five, 210-pound goalie had a 2.67 goals-against average and .914 save percentage. The 20 wins and 2.67 GAA were both career bests. . MacDougall cruised to a 9-3 victory over Robert Campbell of P.E.I. in the opening draw of the tournament Saturday. Yukon skip Steve Fecteau also needed to qualify for the round robin, but he lost 9-5 to Quebecs Mike Fournier. .1 million ($4 million) from UEFAs C100 million ($128 million) fund to compensate clubs for releasing players to the 2012 European Championship. . Vandor, 37, and Jarvis, 28, fell behind the top two crews. Questions arose as to whether the duo would post a late sprint—asignature stint of Canadian coach Mike Spracklens crews—but rather than expendtoo much energy, they decided to reserve that power for the repechage. . However, the 25-year-old burner is an intriguing sleeper candidate for fantasy football as he joins a team needing an upgrade at wideout. Behind five-time Pro Bowler Steve Smith, Brandon LaFell (74 catches over two seasons) is the most proven receiver on the Carolina roster, so Murphy has an opportunity to not only earn playing time but, because of his deep speed, has a chance to make big significant plays in the offence.KRAKOW, Poland -- Joris Mathijsen is almost certain to miss the Netherlands European Championship opener against Denmark and might be ruled out of the tournament altogether, robbing the team of one of its key defenders. Coach Bert van Marwijk said Wednesday the chances that Mathijsen will be unavailable for Saturdays match "are 80 per cent" and is considering calling up a late replacement. Mathijsen injured his left hamstring during the 2-1 loss to Bulgaria on May 26 and has been struggling since. He was training on his own again Wednesday. "Things are not going so well with Joris," Van Marwijk said. "We hoped he would be training with the team. But it didnt happen today. He needs more time." As the centre-back partner for John Heitinga, Mathijsen is an important part of a Dutch defence which is widely considered to be the teams weak link. UEFA allows teams to replace a player until one day before its first match -- if a doctor from the governing body approves the injury. . Van Marwijk will wait until the last moment to make a decision. The coach, however, has already allowed players dropped from the final squad to go on holiday, making a late call-up even tougher. The most likely replacement for Mathijsen would be Wilfred Bouma, the PSV defender who will turn 34 during the tournament and who is considered by many too slow to compete with the best strikers from Germany and Portugal -- the two other teams in the group. Adding to the problems is that Van Marwijk has been unable to fill the left back position with an experienced player and may be counting on 18-year-old Jetro Willems. While Mathijsen ran and did exercises on his own, some 25,000 fans cheered his teammates through a good-humoured training session at Wisla Stadium in Krakow. ' ' '
