did it move a little??
I tis a ridiculously good through. Cro had good coverage.
If this is the case, i wouldn't be shocked if Petty would be number two. I strongly feel this coaching regime is very true backing up their words.
"BEST PLAYERS WILL PLAY". If Fitz is another Vick then we cut him. Though i don't want to jump the gun and say so without seeing the product on the field.
Again practice is practice. Don't want to sound like a debbie downer but we heard the same uplifting pressers regarding Geno last year at training camp. Its time to see if he can translate to when the games count.
I honestly hope so and feel he will. Yet, i will be cautiously optimistic about our QB this season until he demonstrates POSITIVE consistency.
I think he has a chance to build confidence against his first 2 defenses, Cleveland and the Colts and will be tested in a harsh Philly environment week 3 and at Miami week 4. I think we'll know what we have by the bye week.
8 INT Free Practices in a row and still no love?
Pelzman on the Jets: Geno Smith taking steps in the right direction
The subject was third-year quarterback Geno Smith, and safety Calvin Pryor seemed to be speaking not only for his teammates, but for many Jets fans.
"Geno’s having a great camp, man," Pryor said Friday after practice in Florham Park. "Hopefully, he can keep it up. I was just talking to him in the locker room and I said, ‘Keep doing what you’re doing.’ "
What Smith has been doing in practice has been impressive. Not only has he connected on several deep balls, but he has yet to throw an interception in eight practices.
His only turnover came Tuesday when he suffered a non-contact strip sack by defensive lineman Leger Douzable.
Yes, it certainly is a step in the right direction for Smith, who was plagued by turnovers in his first two NFL campaigns. But keep in mind that Smith, along with every quarterback in the league, is wearing a red no-contact jersey at this point.
It literally will be a different ballgame when the Jets visit Detroit for the preseason opener Thursday and the Lions are allowed to hit Smith. Assuming he holds onto his starting job, we’ll learn a lot more about him from his performance in preseason games, as opposed to practice.
That applies to everyone on the field, not merely quarterbacks. Yes, practice is essential for establishing proper technique and timing, but the results of individual plays are not important.
Some practice plays simulate game action better than others, but none can replace the real thing. Game speed always is faster than practice speed.
Of course, Smith’s practice success this summer obviously is better than the alternative.
If he were struggling mightily while wearing a red jersey, it would raise even more questions about whether he has what it takes to help lead the Jets to the postseason.
And sometimes poor play in practice can be a legitimate omen.
Consider that late during the Jets’ 2008 training camp, there was a passing play during which future journeyman offensive lineman Jacob Bender was blocking first-round draft choice Vernon Gholston. Bender knocked down Gholston, who then played the same way he practiced and never recorded a sack during his disappointing tenure with the Jets.
That snapshot proved to be significant. But more often than not, practice prowess is not an indication of future success.

Geno's making throws against Revis and Cromartie. Again, some caution should be taken in making too much out of practice, and players aren't all the way up to speed yet, but it's still impressive that Geno is making completions against this secondary.
GENO SMITH HASN'T THROWN AN INTERCEPTION THROUGH EIGHT TRAINING CAMP PRACTICES.
Marcus Mariota's interception-free streak has been getting more attention, but the turnover-happy Smith's has to be creating confidence in Jets camp. According to coach Todd Bowles, Smith's command of the offense is "night and day from the spring and OTAs." Smith has thrown 34 picks through 30 NFL games, a trend that will quickly get him benched if it continues this season.
