The last time Geno Smith faced the Baltimore Ravens, he was in his 11th start as
a rookie in 2013.
Derrick Rose Knicks Jersey .He didnt fare
very well, completing just 9 of 22 passes and throwing two interceptions as his
New York Jets lost 19-3 in Baltimore.It was part of a forgettable rookie season
for the quarterback, who completed just 55.8 percent of his passes and threw 21
interceptions vs. 12 touchdowns. He wasnt much better in his second season,
which is why the Jets traded for Ryan Fitzpatrick in March 2015 and ended up
making him the starter.However, with Fitzpatrick benched Wednesday, Smith is
back at the helm -- at least for now.As the Jets (1-5) host the Ravens (3-3) on
Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on CBS, his task is to try to spark an offense that ranks
last in scoring (15.8 points per game) and No. 2 in turnovers (15).I felt it was
time for a change, New York coach Todd Bowles said. We got up there in the
turnover category. We hadnt put any points up. Were trying to get a spark
somewhere, so I made the change.The Ravens hope they dont have to make a change
at the same position.Quarterback Joe Flacco has been sacked 11 times over the
past three games -- all losses -- and is dealing with a sore right shoulder that
kept him out of practice Wednesday.I have a little shoulder soreness, Flacco
said. A little bit of rest right now is probably the best thing.Coach John
Harbaugh said Flacco still has a legitimate chance to play against the Jets.
Backup Ryan Mallett would start if Flacco cannot.In two games filling in for an
injured Flacco last season, Mallett completed 58 of 97 pass attempts (59.8
percent), with two touchdowns and two interceptions.Ryan (could be) a starter in
this league, Harbaugh said. That will not be a problem if he plays. Ill feel
very confident if Ryan Mallett is out there playing.That said, Harbaugh clearly
would prefer his starter.Joe will be out there if he can be, the coach said.
Theres no tougher guy than Joe. To me, he will be out there. Its my belief hell
be out there.Considering the quarterback situations in this game, both teams
will try to run the ball. However, the ground yardage might be hard to come
by.The Ravens could be without top pass rusher Terrell Suggs (torn biceps), but
they still have the top run defense in the NFL, giving up just 69.7 yards per
game.The Jets running attack ranks 19th at just 92.5 yards per game. Part of
that is a lack of carries -- Matt Forte and Bilal Powell have combined for just
28 the past two weeks. Smith, a more mobile quarterback than Fitzpatrick, could
help that effort.The Jets also will hope Smith can take advantage of an
injury-ravaged Ravens secondary and get the ball to top wide receiver Brandon
Marshall, who has 27 receptions for 433 yards and two touchdowns.Baltimore hopes
to have starting cornerback Jimmy Smith back in the lineup after he sustained a
concussion last week against the Giants. But the secondary is also dealing with
several other injuries: Tavon Young (undisclosed), Jerraud Powers (groin) and
Shareece Wright (hamstring). The status of that trio is uncertain.The Ravens
also will try to establish their running game, with Terrance West working to
take some pressure off an offensive line that has not been able to protect
Flacco. West has emerged as Baltimores top back, rushing for 208 yards on 32
carries in the past two games.Of course, the Jets have almost as staunch a run
defense as the Ravens, ranking sixth in the NFL at 85.5 yards allowed per game.
Baltimores reshuffled line will have to contend with Leonard Williams (five
sacks) and company.Bowles plans to make a few personnel moves on defense,
although he would not give any details.(None) that I feel like revealing, Bowles
said, but Ive made some changes.One potential switch would be benching
cornerback Buster Skrine, who was flagged for four penalties Monday night in New
Yorks 28-3 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. He could be replaced by Marcus
Williams, who has nine interceptions in 27 career games.
Charles Oakley Knicks Jersey .5 seconds to
play in the game, Kevin Love never stopped believing that they would come out of
there with a win.
Bernard King Knicks Jersey . World champions
Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov of Russia won the gold medal with 237.71
points, Moore-Towers and Moscovitch followed at 208.45 and Ksenia Stolbova and
Fedor Klimov of Russia were third at 187.

.H. -- Matt Kenseth made it 2 for 2 in the Chase, holding off teammate Kyle
Busch to win Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. England have selected
Nathan Hughes for the first time after including the Wasps back row in a
provisional Elite Player Squad for this months pre-season training
camp.Leicester hooker and club captain Tom Youngs, who won 31 caps under the
previous regime, returns after being previously overlooked by head coach Eddie
Jones, while Gloucester wing Johnny May is back from knee surgery.High-profile
omissions from the 45 are centre Luther Burrell, fly-half Danny Cipriani and
wing Chris Ashton.Fijian-born Hughes qualified for England on residency grounds
in June and has been one of the Aviva Premierships most consistent performers
since being plucked from obscurity by Wasps in 2013.The 25-year-old, who picked
up a rugby ball for the first time eight years ago, is a powerful carrier and
his appearance in the squad is an exciting development, even if there are
misgivings over his work-rate and defence.Jones views him as a blindside flanker
rather than No. 8, the position Billy Vunipola has filled with
distinction.Youngs was a big-name omission from Jones maiden squad named in
January having been first choice throughout last autumns World Cup, but he is
one of four hookers among the 45.The jet-heeled May sustained a serious knee
injury in December and has been unavailable since.Cipriani failed to impress
during a pre-summer tour training camp in May, Burrell was replaced after only
28 minutes of the first Test against Australia in June due to defensive failings
and Ashton continues to find himself out of fa
