It's only preseason

Turns out the Jets really do have a quarterback controversy. As in, are either of their highly paid signal callers good enough to lead Gang Green back into the playoffs? If you're looking for some entertainment while waiting for tonight's Pats-Eagles MNF preseason game, this 14 minutes from Saturday's Giants-Jets game should do it. Unless you are a Jets fan.

Both Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow had their moments. Sanchez completed 9 out of 11 passes but for only a total of 59 yards. And, as you will see in the video, he threw a pick-six to kill a good drive. Vintage Sanchez.

Then, as you will also see, Tebow took over in the second half and he also led a decent drive but badly under threw a WIDE open receiver in the end zone, forcing the Jets to settle for three points. The offense's only three points of the game. The Jets have been outscored 43-9 in two preseason games. It's only preseason, but that's not good. And by the end of the game Tebow was yelling at his offensive lineman after getting sacked. That's not good either.

There was a lot of worry expressed in the Sports Blabosphere last week over the state of the Pats' offensive line. Of course, all those concerns were preceded by the "I know it's only preseason" statement. Tonight's game will be a good test of how much progress has been made since the Saints game almost two weeks ago. Logan Mankins is back and that will surely help, although it's uncertain if he'll be ready to play. The Eagles have very fast outside rushers so keeping Brady -- if he plays -- upright will be one of the keys of the night.

Other keys will be what Shane Vereen can do with a chance to start and if the young guys on defense can build on their solid performance against the Saints.

Oh, and how many margaritas I can drink on a warm summer night at the stadium. Time to get in game shape.
