\"Marty<\/a>When the Jets take on the Giants at MetLife Stadium on Saturday, all eyes will be on Jets QB Geno Smith.\u00a0 Geno missed the Jets second preseason game against the Jaguars due to his ankle injury.\u00a0 He was named the starter this week and this is his chance to win the starting QB job.<\/p>\n

Offensive Coordinator Marty Morhinweg said he wants to see him play since he hasn’t played much.\u00a0 “We\u2019ve got an awful lot of evaluation on all of our quarterbacks, all four of them, in practice situations and then preseason is different, certainly. And then regular season is different and playoffs are different from regular season. There is a difference at every level.”<\/p>\n

Quarterback coach David Lee seems to think that it would be tough to name Geno Smith the week one starter based on such a limited body of work.\u00a0 “Look, this is going to be a decision that\u2019s going to be made like any other position, when one of the players elevates himself. So, it\u2019s already taken just a little longer but you can only anticipate these things happening. (Smith had) a little ankle (injury). Everybody\u2019s working through those types of injuries but we consciously pulled him back at the end of the week last week knowing that it would take a little bit more time.”<\/p>\n

Most teams don’t play their starters in the 4th preseason game.\u00a0 The injury risks outweigh the rewards of putting the starters on the field so close to the regular season.\u00a0 Depending on what happens on Saturday night, the Jets could be starting at that unthinkable possibility (not naming a starter).\u00a0 Coach Morhinweg spoke about this possibility.<\/p>\n

I suppose it\u2019s possible, but I\u2019m not concerned really. I would have much rather had it done quite a little bit earlier than now, but that\u2019s just not the way it is and things happen and you can anticipate some of those things. But, the competition continues and the fellas are wired in and it only makes everybody better and I\u2019m talking not only the quarterback position.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Enjoy the game on Saturday night. One quarterback should walk away a winner, if not many Jets fans may walk away feeling quite the opposite.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
