"I thought the focus wasn't there,Arthur Moats Jersey," Ryan said. "I never liked the attention to detail. ... It's unacceptable."
"That's something that I did today and that can be fixed," Smith said. "And now, I'll improve on that."
"Today's practice was sloppy," a disappointed Ryan said before later adding,Wholesale Football Jerseys, "one guy I'll say came out to practice was Mark Sanchez. I thought he was sharp."
In fact, he wouldn't even acknowledge that this was one of his tougher practices in the pros.
After a lousy performance in the team's scrimmage Saturday, that included him getting booed by fans after an interception,Stitched NFL Jerseys Outlet, it was a day of redemption for Sanchez. While it was hardly an eye-popping day — he was unofficially 6 of 9 in team drills — he appeared in command the entire session and kept the mistakes to a minimum while running the first-team offense.
While Ryan was complimentary of Sanchez, he didn't knock Smith, who still has yet to be intercepted in 11-on-11 team drills this summer — including the scrimmage.
"I wouldn't say so," he said. "Down in the red zone, I think I need to do a better job of taking care of the ball. I know it's 7-on-7 and you kind of want to force the emphasis and try to get the ball to the end zone, but still be mindful that we're still working game reps and that drill is made for us to kind of pretend that we're in the game."
Which means he has to do anything other than turn the ball over in that situation — a key focus of offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg this summer.
"Calls came in quick, got in and out of the huddle, had great tempo, good pace, good mix of runs and passes, screens, everything," Sanchez said. "It was kind of the way that we want to run things, you know, in a nutshell in one drive, and that looked pretty good."
"It's not like he's going to be Nolan Ryan,Nike Schuhe Gro?handel," the coach said, "and pitch a shutout out there."
"I mean, you've got to look at it in a positive manner,Fjallraven Kanken Zaino Saldi," Smith said. "I don't see it as a setback. I see it as a learning experience. I see it as something that I can improve on."
The competition between the two for the starting quarterback job remains tight, and coach Rex Ryan is not sure who will start the preseason opener at Detroit on Friday night. But Ryan added that both Sanchez and Smith will work with the first-team offense during the game.
CORTLAND, N.Y. (AP) — Mark Sanchez tossed a pass that zipped through the end zone, over a fence and onto the roof of a golf cart parked on the other side.
It's that approach that has his coaches and teammates feeling pretty good about the second-round pick from West Virginia. Smith's refusal to get frustrated by bad moments on the practice field has also shown a lot about his confidence in his abilities,Air Max 97 Cheap Online.
And, it was a good — and smart — play.
Sanchez was mostly mistake-free in perhaps his best practice of training camp, while rookie Geno Smith threw two interceptions in 7-on-7 drills.
Sanchez had a nice drive in 11-on-11s that was capped by a 6-yard touchdown toss to Bilal Powell on a third-down play.
"I felt good," Sanchez said.
Smith was far from bad, but it was the first time he made the types of mistakes he made Monday, finishing 4 of 6 and getting picked off by Antonio Allen (a tipped pass) and Nick Bellore (a forced throw in the middle of the field).
As for the rest of the team, Ryan was not happy with his players' effort after a day off from practice Sunday. There were several false start penalties, including two in a row by right tackle Austin Howard and left tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson. The defense also had its share of mistakes.
Rather than try to force it to a receiver who wasn't open during red zone drills Monday, the New York Jets quarterback threw the ball away so that no one could reach it. For a guy who has been plagued by 52 turnovers in the last two seasons, this was progress. |
