CORTLAND, N.
Cheap
NHL Jerseys .Y. -- Geno Smith threw one interception, and then
another. And then, two more. It wasnt a good performance by the New York Jets
rookie quarterback. At all. "It was brutal," coach Rex Ryan said flatly on
Wednesday. "That was Genos worst day." Smith, competing with Mark Sanchez for
the starting job, was intercepted four times, including three in 11-on-11 team
drills. He is still dealing with a sprained right ankle, that he has looked less
hobbled by in practice the last few days. But Ryan said it is clearly affecting
his performance, as well as his fundamentals and being late on some throws.
"Obviously, the ankle is part of it, but way too many picks," Ryan said. "He did
not look comfortable today. Obviously, he has to come back from it, and he will
come back from it. But it was a bad day." "Guys have bad days, but this was a
really bad day." It was also an unseasonably cold day in Cortland -- the
temperature at the start of practice was a mere 52 degrees with occasional rain.
"It was a beautiful December day today," Ryan quipped. "That, without question,
had to be the coldest training camp day Ive ever been a part of. Thats about 30
years. "Man, that was chilly. Almost as chilly as the offensive performance
today." And that included Smiths performance. The second-round pick, however,
insisted the ankle has not been a factor. "I havent really been trying to use it
as an excuse," he said. "Ive been going out there and giving it my all, and I
think Ive done a good job of just pushing through this week." Ryan agreed that
Smith hasnt been using the injury an excuse for his performances lately, but
added that its "bravado" by the quarterback saying its not affecting him. "Guys,
you see it out there," Ryan said. "Hes not able to move like he normally does.
Hes not able to drive the ball like he normally does with his velocity. That
doesnt mean he still cant get out there. Hes competing. Hes been out there every
day. "But is he 100 per cent? I would say that hes not 100 per cent." The Jets
have still not decided on a starter for the teams preseason game Saturday night
against Jacksonville, but Sanchez has outperformed Smith this week. When asked
if he wants to start Saturday, Smith curiously said: "No comment." Ryan
acknowledged that its a "possibility" Smith wont play against the Jaguars, but
added that theres still plenty of time for the injury to heal. Smith, meanwhile,
remained positive about his camp so far -- as well as the injury. "The ankles
feeling good," Smith said. "Its getting progressively better." Smith was injured
in the teams preseason opener at Detroit last Friday night, but has not missed
any practice time. He worked mostly with the first-team offence Wednesday, and
appeared to move around the field with only a slight limp at times. With both
quarterbacks facing the scout-team defences as the Jets prepare for
Jacksonville, Smith was not sharp. He was intercepted by Rontez Miles on a pass
that went off the hands of Ryan Spadola in 7-on-7 drills, and also picked off by
Royce Adams, Jacquies Smith and Bret Lockett in 11-on-11 drills. "It was a bad
day today," Ryan said. "Theres no other way to put it. It was a bad day. Was I
disappointed he had the day he did today? Absolutely. These days happen, but you
dont expect them to happen." When asked what happened on the interceptions,
Smith got slightly testy. "I dont know," he said. "Youve got to watch the tape
man, Im pretty sure you all got it. Just go ahead and watch it." Ryan indicated
that he and his staff need to see more of both Smith and Sanchez before they
consider who will win the competition and start in Week 1 against Tampa Bay.
"Will it become more of a sense of urgency probably after this game? I would say
so," Ryan said. "I thought this was going to be a real competition and it
wouldnt be just solved after one week of a preseason game. I dont know that many
are really decided after one preseason game. So I dont think its a surprise that
theres not clarity at a number of positions." NOTES: RB-KR Joe McKnight (head
injury) missed practice for a second straight day after needing to be carted off
the field and needing oxygen Monday. He declined comment when approached by
reporters. ... RB Chris Ivory was a full participant for the third straight
practice, and appears on pace to make his Jets game debut Saturday. ... WR Clyde
Gates (head injury) returned to practice after missing two days. NT Kenrick
Ellis, P Robert Malone and LB Josh Mauga were all out with back issues. ... The
Jets have one more practice at Cortland on Thursday, but it is closed to the
public and there is no media availability.
