Mark Brunnel took some first team snaps in practice today.\u00a0 This really seems like a non-story, Rex Ryan has stated that Mark Sanchez is his QB and his job is not in jeopardy.\u00a0 But this is the internet and we need things to talk about so here is what the involved parties had to say:<\/p>\n

\nIt was a big day (Joking). I think I got four plays. Out of the 40 that we ran, I got four. So, I was pretty excited about that. I think three of them were runs, but it was good to go in there a little bit.<\/p>\n
\nMaybe one, maybe two. Every place is different. Typically, here we give our starter 99% of the reps.<\/p>\n
\nThat\u2019s the coach\u2019s decision, I\u2019m just controlling what I can and that\u2019s trying to improve, make better decisions with the football and taking the reps I have and doing well with them.<\/p>\n
\nNo, not at all. At least not on purpose.<\/p>\n
\nI guess maybe last year it did, but I don\u2019t know. That\u2019s Rex\u2019s deal.<\/p>\n
\nI think that\u2019s what he\u2019s using it for, so sure.<\/p>\n
\nI don\u2019t know, we\u2019ll see (on) Sunday.<\/p>\n
\nHe\u2019s superstitious.
\n
\nRex Ryan<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nOh yeah, I\u2019ve done it. I gave Brunell a snap or two.<\/p>\n
\nYes.<\/p>\n
\nHe\u2019s not happy with me.<\/p>\n
\nYes, just like a, \u2018Hey, look.\u2019\u00a0 I told everybody, we\u2019re going to play everybody on our roster.\u00a0 (That is) what always happens, but we do have to have guys prepared.\u00a0 Mark has played well, but do I want to get the one guy a snap?\u00a0 Absolutely, and I think it does send a message that, hey, look, every single player, no matter how good, Darrelle Revis doesn\u2019t take every snap in practice a lot of times, but I did.\u00a0 Now, this thing is going to be headlines. (joking)\u00a0 You know me, if I think something is working, we\u2019ll go with it.\u00a0 If we played better when we did it last year, then I will do that.\u00a0 If it\u2019s to wear Titans stuff, then I\u2019ll do it.<\/p>\n
\nYes, he did.<\/p>\n
\nNo, but we\u2019re going with it.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think it really matters, but for some reason, he had got a little hot under the collar and gave that super-competitive fighting spirit that we know he has.<\/p>\n
\nI don\u2019t know.\u00a0 You\u2019d have to ask him, but it seems to work.<\/p>\n
\nIt was about one or two a practice.<\/p>\n
\nYes, the ones are out there, so he got a snap.<\/p>\n
\n(Laughing) Oh, gee, look at his body language.\u00a0 He hasn\u2019t talked to me for real.\u00a0 He has not said one word.<\/p>\n
\nNot to me.<\/p>\n
\nYes, he probably knows what I\u2019m doing.\u00a0 I know Mark Sanchez extremely well.\u00a0 I know how tough (he is) and that fighting spirit that he has.\u00a0 If it takes me to do this and take a punch in the nose, I don\u2019t care, I\u2019ll take it, but we have to have it from him.\u00a0 He\u2019s the guy.\u00a0 He\u2019s my guy and we have to have it from him.\u00a0 Everybody has to play that way and I just love when (he\u2019s that way).\u00a0 When he\u2019s that way, we\u2019re extremely hard to beat.<\/p>\n
\nNo, I\u2019m not going to take him out.\u00a0 He\u2019s our quarterback, but don\u2019t even write that.\u00a0 Let him think it, you know what I mean (laughter).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
