"We'll go through some ups and downs, I guarantee you that," Mornhinweg told the team's website. "Knowing Geno, hopefully there will be more ups than there are downs."
Ryan benched Sanchez for a game last season and it appeared his days in New York were numbered. His contract, however, and the $8.25 million in guarantees for this year made him unmovable. Still some have speculated that the Jets could simply cut Sanchez and move forward entirely with Smith.
"No,Cheap Hockey Jerseys 2019," Smith said with a confident smile.
But, will Greg Schiano's defense be able to unnerve him?
NOTES: Ryan announced that Vladimir Ducasse would start at left guard, and Antonio Allen would start at safety opposite Dawan Landry. Those were the two other main competitions in training camp. ... Simms will serve as the backup to Smith over Quinn on Sunday.
The rookie quarterback will start in the opener at home Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The team finally confirmed Wednesday what had been expected since Mark Sanchez injured his right shoulder in a preseason game against the Giants on Aug. 24.
Beyond that, we'll see.
"Yes, of course he does," Idzik said.
"We'll always put the best player we can on the field on Sunday, and that will continue,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping," Johnson said. "The competition's ongoing."
Instead, Smith showed his inexperience during a miserable performance — hurt in part by his ailing ankle — that appeared to tip the tightly contested competition in Sanchez's favor.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Geno Smith is the new face of the franchise for the New York Jets.
"They'll try to rattle my cage," Smith said about the Buccaneers. "I expect those guys to come out fired up and they want to make a statement. They've got a rookie quarterback and they'll want to hit me and get me off my game, but I expect those things. And I look forward to it."
Sanchez was once considered the future of the franchise, a terrific talent with GQ looks, and consecutive trips to the AFC title game in his first two years drew natural comparisons to Joe Namath. But Sanchez struggled over the next few seasons, including an NFL-leading 52 turnovers the last two years, and failed to develop into the elite passer the Jets had hoped.
While many look at the move as the team moving forward with a new quarterback, Idzik was asked if,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, when healthy, Sanchez has a chance to be the starter again.
"Mark is going to be on the team," Johnson said. "I don't think there's a question."
The Jets also have the inexperienced Matt Simms, who had a terrific preseason, and recently signed journeyman Brady Quinn. But with Sanchez not ready to play Sunday,Cheap Jerseys From China, the choice for Ryan, Idzik and offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg was easy for this week.
But the quarterback situation changed when Sanchez took a crunching hit to the shoulder from the Giants' Marvin Austin.
"We all regret that Mark got hurt, and obviously that's unfortunate,Nike NFL Jerseys China," Ryan said. "It's unfortunate that it happened, but these things do happen and we've moved on."
Despite announcing Smith as the starter for this week, Ryan wouldn't commit to him as the long-term guy under center. It was an approach that was echoed by owner Woody Johnson and general manager John Idzik.
With Smith stepping into the starter's role, it makes Sanchez's status with the team unclear. Ryan has still never declared a winner to the competition — and he might not ever do so. If Smith can be solid during Sanchez's absence, he could make it hard for Ryan to pull him. And, by never saying whether Smith or Sanchez had won the job, Ryan would never technically have benched the anointed starter.
"I don't think I've been rushed," said Smith, who took 69 snaps in preseason games. "They wouldn't put me out there if they didn't think I was ready."
The Jets have said only that Sanchez — the starter since his rookie season in 2009 — was day to day with simply a "shoulder injury." The fact he hasn't practiced since, and the Jets signing Quinn on Monday were signs that Sanchez's injury was more serious than the team was initially letting on. But placing Sanchez on injured reserve doesn't appear to be an option at the moment.
It appeared in spring that the Jets would let Sanchez compete with veteran David Garrard for the starting job. During the draft in April, the Jets went for defense with their two first-round picks, selecting cornerback Dee Milliner and defensive
