Vick Embraces Role As Mentor To Geno Smith
While the Jets have said there is competition at every position this summer, Vick has called Smith ``the starter'' from the moment he signed.

While the Jets have said there is competition at every position this summer, Vick has called Smith ``the starter'' from the moment he signed.
He was in full pads and participated in individual drills after missing the first three days of practice while recovering from offseason arthroscopic knee surgery in late May.
The New York Jets' safety, the team's first-round draft pick in May, was being evaluated for a concussion after injuring his head early during special teams drills Saturday.
The 34-year-old Babin is expected to be a pass-rushing specialist. He was wearing No. 58 on Friday and listed as a linebacker, though he has also played defensive end.
For the first time in a very long time, the Jets are showing conviction. They are sticking to a plan. They have inserted contingencies in case it goes awry, but their vision at QB is crystal clear.
For a first Cortland practice, Smith certainly performed like a guy intent on retaining his starting job. "I think Geno looked better than I've ever seen him," WR David Nelson raved.
You've heard it all before: Rex Ryan is fired up about his Jets. But on Thursday the head coach was really fired up.
As always, the Jets enter a season draped in uncertainty. They have a coach already on the hot seat, a general manager ready to can him, and a young quarterback who's a few wind-swept throws from being plucked from the lineup.
Nobody is expecting the return of CJ2K. Even if he shows a mild improvement this season, Johnson should provide a boost to a team that had some wacky rushing stats in 2013.
Rex Ryan says it's time for the New York Jets to improve as a team as they prepare for the start of training camp practices.
The two-time Pro Bowler will add depth to a loaded D-line that includes Muhammad Wilkerson and reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year Sheldon Richardson.
Rex Ryan knows a false start to the season could end his tenure long before Week 17. Mike Tannenbaum and the rest of his yes-men can't save his skin now.
If last week's declaration that David Harris is the most underrated player in the NFL is any indication, Rex Ryan will be as bombastic as ever this season -- mostly because he's right.
"I look forward to the old-school aspects of training camp. It's just us. We're trudging through the challenging days together and we're going to come together as a team."
What would training camp be without Rex Ryan shooting off at the mouth? Love him or hate him, he's always good for a bold statement every, oh, day or so.
