The Stats Say Mark Sanchez is Having a Horrible Preseason, So Naturally, Its Time to Panic! Back in January before the Jets visited the Colts to play in the AFC title game, we found this JaMarcus Russell-Mark Sanchez rookie comparison laughable. In June, we couldn’t help but chuckle at this attempt to say Darrelle Revis isn’t irreplaceable based on stats. Today, the Jets’ bashing among stat-lovers continues: Is it time to start worrying about Mark SanchezSanchez’s stats through three games �C 31 completions in 48 attempts for 270 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions �C also reflects a coaching staff that’s hesitant to let it fly. His 5.6 yards per attempt average ranks 23rd in the league, he has just two pass plays of 20 yards or more, and his passer rating of 75.6 isn’t what one would expect of a quarterback that many think will help his team to a Super Bowl berth.If someone’s going to spend this much time hammering Sanchez for lack of preseason production, what’s going to happen when the Jets start 1-4 Three of their first five games are against playoff teams from 2009; another, Miami, is widely considered a contender in the AFC East this season.We’re going to guess Nike(Adidas) soccer cleats that after the week three loss to Miami, at least one New York tabloid uses the word BUST in a headline with a Sanchez photo underneath. The internet can’t wait for the demise of Sanchize.(Santonio Holmes, the 2009 Super Bowl MVP wide receiver, doesn’t join the Jets until week four, the schedule

eases up in the midseason, and the guess here is the bandwagon will be full again by early November.)We don’t remember exactly how the Jets’ 2009 preseason went �C other than getting destroyed by Baltimore �C but we went into 2009 with little confidence that Sanchez would do anything as a rookie. In his 1st start, on the road against a promising Houston team (some writers, including SI’s Peter King, pegged the Texans as a playoff team), Sanchez was sensational in a 24-7 triumph.In January, he was virtually error-free in two playoff road games as the Jets stunned the favored Bengals and Chargers.And now, we’re off to search for the other time to start worrying blog posts about Eli Manning, Tony Romo, and anyone else who hasn’t had an impressive preseason. Monday Night Football: Colts at Bucs Are you ready for some football Yeah, that is one of the most overusedquestions in sports, but for some reason, it feels appropriate tonight. The gameis one that needs a little artificialexcitement brought to it, so thank you, Hank Williams, Jr., for giving us something else to talk about besides Peyton Manning’s neck, and flashbacks to the2003 game where Jon Gruden reminisces about how this guy Manningbrought the Colts back from a 3 touchdown deficit in the fourth quarter againshis team. Oh, and there’s a game tonight. CurtisPainteris starting for the Colts.The popular perception is that this is a blowout waiting to happen, with the woeful 0-3 Colts soccer cleats sale on the road at the 2-1 Bucs. It’s early, so theresults aren’t as

well-connected, but Advanced NFL Stats has this as a close game, not because ofthe Colts’ rating, butbecause of the Buccaneers, who are also in the bottom 8 after 3 games. The issue with Tampa is trying to figure out just how good or bad the Falcons and Vikings are, as they played close games with each. Tampa was dominated in the first game against theLions despite theultimate 7 point spread.I think weknow what the Colts are at this point, but this is a telling game for Tampa Bay, at home, againsta team they are expected to beat.[photo via Getty] Bob Stoops + Notre Dame = Tons o Fun! Bob Stoops, what a sly dog. Let’s rewind the Oklahoma coach’s quotes yesterday during a conference call with reporters:Question: There is officially an opening now at Notre Dame, so you’re not going thereStoops: Adidas F50 AdiZero Leather FG What, what I’m, what I’m saying is that I intend to be at Oklahoma, that’s, uh, the only place that right now, yes, that I’m looking to do. I will never confirm or deny whether I talk or not talk to anybody. Um��that’s��and I won’t be interviewing for any jobs.Of course he wouldn’t interview �C he’s won a National title and been to four title games in the last decade!Question: I’m asking you, can you tell me right now that you will not go at Notre DameStoops: What I’m saying is that I’m going to be at Oklahoma next year, so I can’t be at two places at once.Not quite a denial!Question: Why can’t you just say

noStoops: Because I don’t like the way you worded it, so in the end I told you what I intend to do.There was laughter after this. Intend is soooo ambiguous!A few hours after this, Sportscenter led with Stoops and the Irish, and in an odd moment, ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter �C who, to our knowledge, has never attempted to break college football news �C chimed in, saying that Stoops to Notre Dame was all but a formality. He tweeted as much.So last night, Stoops was forced to again address the situation to mollify the masses, and said the following: I stand by the comments that I made earlier today. I will be at Oklahoma. Any reporting to the contrary is completely unfounded.This morning, Stoops ripped Schefter to the Tulsa World.I dont know where (Schefter) is getting his information, but its wrong, Stoops said in a telephone interview. Its all been wrong.Quickly, Schefter has backed off his story. (But he couldn’t leave well enough alone and now claims the Irish aren’t interested in Cincinnati’s Brian Kelly, which would probably sadden his colleague Pat Forde, who thinks Kelly would be a perfect fit in South Bend.)Question that remain unanswered: Has Notre Dame formally offered Stoops (Nobody knows.) Will anything Stoops/Kelly/Meyer/Dungy et al have said this week/month prevent Notre Dame from approaching them (Definitely shouldn’t. Aim high!)Nobody knows anything, which is what’s making this so damn fun. Anywhere you turn, it is all speculation and rumor and for that, Swarbrick deserves props. He’s doing an outstanding job keeping a lid

on things.
