Rex Ryan announced today that Mark Sanchez will start at QB vs the Detroit Lions in their first preseason game (Friday 8/9). Which means that you can expect Geno Smith to start the 2nd game at home on Saturday 8/17 vs the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Rex at news conf: Mark Sanchez will start @ DET on Friday in preseason opener. Geno Smith will follow. Rex isn't sure of the playtime split.

I started JetNation in 2005 and have been a New York Jets season ticket holder since graduating from high school. My dream is to see the New York Jets win the Super Bowl. Until then, I will be right here on JetNation writing, dreaming and talking NY Jets football.

We didn't want to see another Justin Fields highlight reel online. We wanted to see every single throw he made as the Steelers starting quarterback in 2024. We didn't want quotes. We didn't want running plays. We didn't want blaring music serving as a distraction. We just wanted the most recent version of Justin Fields throwing the football, but no such video existed.

Until now.
