The New York Jets are halfway through their preseason and are still without a win (0 and 2).\u00a0 They lost on Monday night to the Ravens by a score of 24 to 23.\u00a0 The Jets scored late in the game after Eric Ainge led the team on a touchdown drive.\u00a0 Rex Ryan opted to go for the two point conversion rather than kicking the extra point and sending the game into overtime. \u00a0 The record will be reset once the season opener arrives, so the focus right now is in learning a new defense and finding a quarterback. Rex Ryan knows this and we thank him for avoiding preseason overtime.<\/p>\n
Mark Sanchez had a rough night especially early.\u00a0 The Ravens starting defense provides a tough challenge for even a veteran quarterback.\u00a0 The pressure was fierce and he made many mistakes early in the game.\u00a0 An interception by Haloti Ngata was returned for a touchdown.\u00a0 Another sure interception was dropped by Ray Lewis and Sanchez also had a fumble on an attempted handoff.\u00a0 He ended his night late in the 2nd quarter with a touchdown pass to Leon Washintgon.<\/p>\n
Kellen Clemens?\u00a0 He also threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown.\u00a0 Kellen’s numbers were slightly better but he didn’t face all the Ravens starters on defense.\u00a0 Sanchez doesn’t look like he is completely ready but expect him to get the starting nod from week one.<\/p>\n
Other positives for the Jets?\u00a0 Leon Washington looks like he will have a bigger role in this offense and he is as elusive as ever.\u00a0 Also, Rex Ryan is bringing that aggressive defense here.\u00a0 They blitz early and they blitz often.\u00a0 Joe Flacco was under a lot of pressure and ended the day 8 of 18 passing.\u00a0 As a team the Ravens averaged 2.9 yards per carry.\u00a0 The defense for the Jets is ahead of the offense right now and they added 4 sacks as well.<\/p>\n
And David Clowney continued his preseason tear by catching another touchdown pass in the 3rd quarter from Kellen Clemens.<\/p>\n
