Well, not that it's a surprise, info has been leaked that Sanchez will start opening day.
From the AP, via chron.com - http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/...t/6587825.html
"Sanchez, the fifth overall draft pick out of Southern California, beat out veteran Kellen Clemens with a solid training camp and will be under center for the Jets’ season opener at Houston on Sept. 13. The person requested anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the decision. "

Not sure how many of you watched it Monday, but he was harrassed against Baltimore. From what I saw, he didn't have much time, but when he did, he was sporadic. The 2nd "almost" interception hit the Baltimore guy square in the hands, but he dropped it, otherwise, it would be have 2 pick six.

We need to get after this guys a$$. I think we WILL be able to do so, cause some disruption, and create turnover opportunities.

17 days and counting......

We shoudl have 11 guys playing Leon Washington everytime he is on the field. He was all they had the other night. They have very little on the outside.

I'm a little surprised they named Sanchez the starter before the conclusion of the 3rd preseason game, though guess this isn't official and they would still have some wiggle room ?

There's a number of things working in his favor:
1. The Jets are a running-heavy team

2. Sanchez was the 5th pick in the draft (making 5th pick money)

3. His compeition is Kellen Clemens

There wasn't much in the way of this declaration.

Rex saw our run defense and probably decided that he did not need a QB to beat us.

Sanchez didn't look half bad against the Giants on Saturday night.

13/20, 149 yds, 1 TD in a little more than a half of the game played.

Sanchez took advantage a couple times of finding wide open receivers in blown pass coverages by the Giants. He did show a little poise in avoiding the rush though.

I think the Texans ought to really benefit with the suspensions to the Jets pass defense though. Should be a fun game to watch.
