Let the games begin.
Taking a break from training camp, the Jets QB Mark Sanchez and new-be QB Geno Smith both briefly spoke to the press and answered some questions about who will be starting QB. Seems both are thinking they will be in the starting QB position come season. Ughhhh
Mark:
On how confident he is that he will win the starting job…
“I feel good about my ability. I’m confident in my ability. I love playing the position. I feel comfortable up here and had some of my best practices up here so this place is like a second home. I’m ready to go. I’m ready to go compete and play my best.”
Geno:
On what makes him feel he is ready for the quarterback competition…
“Preparation. I’ve been preparing extremely hard. I’ve studied (and) gotten familiar with the offense and the terminology, all those things. I feel more and more comfortable with it as the days go by. So, I’m just preparing myself and I know once I get more acclimated with it, the game will slow down. That happens with time, but I’m just preparing.”
On whether he expects to win the quarterback competition…
“In my heart, I expect to have a shot. That’s all I can ask for myself, my teammates and my coaches, (that) they give me a shot. The coaches are going to determine (the starter) through the preseason up until Week One. So, once we get there, then we’ll know.”
On his confidence in winning the quarterback competition…
“I’m just confident in myself, my study habits, my ability to learn (and) my ability to get acclimated with the offense. The things that I will do on the field will take care of themselves, but I have to put the work in in the film room, as well as in my own room, doing things behind the scenes in order to give myself a shot.”
May the best player win so Jets fans can have something to look forward to for a change.
