Geno Smith cleared for action, might be backup this week

“They understand that, too, but I’m not going to temper them from being excited”.

Bowles was asked Tuesday on a conference call if Fitzpatrick will continue to be the starter even after Geno Smith is healthy. Ivory was listed as questionable before he gained 57 yards on 14 carries while splitting time with RB Bilal Powell.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees received a supporting second opinion on his bruised right shoulder and could play Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. “If Geno has a grasp of everything and he looks good and he feels good about it, we’ll go with Geno”.

According to ESPN’s Rich Cimini, the Jets are committed to Fitzpatrick as their starting quarterback until they give him a reason not to be. Yee-yee, yeah we’ll go with that, get some shirts made yee-yee (joking).

Via Seth Walder of the New York Daily News, Smith has been cleared after having his jaw broken by former teammate IK Enemkpali, and could be Fitzpatrick’s backup Sunday.

Needless to say, Smith failed in handling everything and to be quite honest, I’m surprised he wasn’t cut from the team for his involvement in letting it escalate to what it did.

“I’m going to do whatever they tell me to do”, he said. “That’s kind of how I focus on it”.

It’s also possible that the Jets (2-0) are keeping Revis’ status under wraps for 24 hours strictly for game-planning purposes.

With Fitzpatrick as the starter, the Jets are off to a 2-0 start. The second half Decker took a backseat to Marshall, who then dominated the Colts secondary once Davis was forced from the game with a concussion. Fitzpatrick has extensive experience in coordinator Chan Gailey’s offense loaded with spread principles. We definitely kind of fell into a little lull there offensively. and [with] the Colts scoring the touchdown, we kicked it back into gear.

“He’s done a really good job in a short amount of time in New York, but what he’s doing defensively is what he’s done – similar to the scheme he ran when he was in Arizona for those two years and did a really nice job with the Arizona defense the last two years”, Kelly said. After going 21 of 37 for 250 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions, Luck has now thrown five picks in the first two weeks.
