Jets QB Ryan Fitzpatrick will remain starter after Geno Smith returns
Meanwhile, although one-time starter Geno Smith returned to practice, the Jets do not have a quarterback controversy, at the top, anyway. “We’re doing good, we have good chemistry going and everything else. Geno understands that”.
Smith suffered the broken jaw when teammate IK Enemkpali punched him last month during a disagreement. The clock showed 6:27, the Jets were holding a narrow three-point lead, the Colts had switched from a lot of double coverage on Marshall to single-coverage on the drive.
Smith declined to speak with reporters in the locker room after Wednesday’s practice. Smith had to cancel his trip due to the death of a close friend.
While the Jets may not give New England a run for their money in the AFC East, they are a vastly improved team.
The Jets stand at 2-0 after a 31-10 win over the Cleveland Browns and then a 20-7 victory over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2. “And it’s a trickle-down effect”, said Smith via the New York Daily News. But Cromartie was diagnosed with a hyperextension and managed to play Monday despite a limited week of practice.
-PASSING OFFENSE: A-minus – Geno who? Of course, Fitzpatrick still has time to play his way out of the starting job, and he may be without Eric Decker (knee) in the coming weeks. Decker, who had eight catches for 97 yards and a touchdown, was diagnosed with a PCL injury after undergoing an MRI on Tuesday. Gore, meanwhile, started fast but finished with 15 carries for 57 yards and the fumble. But that was more than enough Monday. Luck was pressured on 39 percent of his dropbacks (16 of 41), the second-highest figure of his career. I’m not going to rush myself.
It’s possible Revis was simply given a rest day on a short week following.
Through two National Football League seasons, that’s what Smith has been. Of those ten catches, two were touchdowns. The duo spearheaded an immediate seven-play, 80-yard answer that culminated with Marshall taking a 10-yard out and carrying a pair of Colts the final five yards into the end zone. Under Rex Ryan, the Jets were 5-11 on Monday or Thursday nights. Even though he hasn’t been flawless not turning the ball over, they haven’t lost the team a game yet. “I think we left some points out there and I think any time your defense gets the turnovers like they do, we have to be able to capture and capitalize on that momentum a little better”. Also consider the development of Jets 2014 first round pick Pryor, the addition of Gilchrist has allowed Pryor to shift back to his natural Strong Safety role where he can be utilized as an extra box player.
