Jets camp observations: Low expectations serving as motivationRex Ryan and new GM John Izdik will make the call between Geno Smith or Mark Sanchez. USATSI If you go by all the things said about the
it would be easy to conclude that they have little chance of winning more than five or six games.I spent a day with the team and was up-close at a full-padded practice and also sat down with a number of players, as well as the head coach and GM.And I have to admit: I underestimated the potential of this team. If the Jets can make the right decision at QB and get
back on the field, they will surprise a lot of opponents. Rex Ryan's players are practicing and acting like their backs are to the wall and don't want to see their coach fired at the end of the season. All I can say at this point is watch out.Here are some hings that jumped out at me from practice. The quarterback competition: There's no story bigger than the battle between
and . At this point it doesn't appear to be dividing the team,, but as the days go by it could become a problem. It appeared Mark Sanchez was pressing a bit as the day went on, and when you consider he has never been in a similar position as a pro, it is understandable but not acceptable. Smith was relaxed and threw the ball well in drills, but took a step backward in the team period. The good news is Smith really spins the ball, wants to sit in the pocket, and looks ready if the team was exclusively in the shotgun short pass game. Smith struggles to read coverage in the level 2 and level 3 passing game. I believe this is an open competition and must be decided before the third preseason game because the eventual starter is going to need a lot of reps to get ready for the season. Rex Ryan situation: I sat down with Rex for a good half hour and you would never know he's supposedly on the hot seat. Ryan's sense of humor was in rare form, and he is excited to be back heavily involved with the defense. I talked to a lot of players and I am convinced he has not lost the team. What will the Jet management do with Rex if he goes 8-8 or 9-7? Fire him like the
did Lovie Smith last year? Ryan has a 38-32 record and that could balloon to 46-40. Rebuild on defense: How many teams clean house on defense when they are ranked No. 8 in the NFL? The Jets will replace their nose tackle, a defensive end, an outside linebacker, an inside linebacker, and both safeties. On top of that they probably will have a new cornerback and outside linebacker. Imagine a defense with eight of 11 new players. After watching practice, the Jets could be better than last year, even with all the new players.
The plan at running back:
had 276 carries last year and is no longer on the team. Recently acquired
is not ready for practice but will win the job and should get most, if not all of the Greene attempts. It was pointed out to me by Ryan and Idzik that Ivory has an unusually high number of explosive runs considering the limited work he got with the . Rookie report: Two rookies will start on defense -- Dee Milliner at corner and
at DE. Richardson was very impressive in the live practice and could wind up with rookie defensive player of the year. On the offensive line, rookie
has the best chance to crack the starting lineup. Tackle
is not as far along as Winters but he will make the team as a swing tackle. He will not challenge
for the starting job, however. At least four rookies will play important roles for the Jets this season. Position battles: Rex Ryan told me this was the season with the most competition he had on the roster in a long time, and there are a number of jobs up for grabs. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez and Geno Smith are going throw for throw in every practice. Rookie OG Brian Winters is pressing veterans
for a starting job. I think the veterans hold off the rookies for the short term.
is not going to hand the running back spot to Chris Ivory, and until Ivory gets back on the field, Powell is making a statement he deserves the job. Rookie fullback
a run for the money.
is a good veteran nose tackle that may make it tough for
at some point. Finally, at free safety,
are battling for the lead. The importance of the West Coast fullback: Offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg is running a pure West Coast offense and that usually means the fullback needs receiving skills. I could see this team keeping two fullbacks, which is rare, but maybe the right idea considering the weak group of tight ends. Speaking of tight ends,
needs to make this team if they want to threaten defenses. The sooner the franchise decides Winslow is a keeper, the sooner it can back him off this summer and save him for the regular season. In this offense he could catch 50 passes. Prediction: Last year the Jets were 6-10 and lost three games by a touchdown or less. This year there is controversy around the QB position which isn't good for the short term but may work out for the long term. There is a five-game stretch before the bye that includes Atlanta, Pittsburgh, New England, Cincinnati and New Orleans which could break the spirit of any team. This camp visit has convinced me this team is better than I thought before I got here,, but it may not show up in the win column. A repeat of last year's record is possible and the right move would be to keep the coaching staff and try again in 2014, but we all know how this league works.Things I saw or heard at practice:1. Jet offensive coordinator,, Marty Mornhinweg said 'we could have one of the better offensive lines in the NFL and we have some depth as well.'2.
said making adjustments with the offensive line will be easier now that veterans Willie Colon and Stephen Peterman are on the roster. In fact he said the five starters are already discussing things a month ahead of schedule.3. GM John Idzik said the QB competition is a true open competition, nothing has been decided at this point, and he and Rex will sit down at the appropriate time.4. Rex Ryan is still heating up the pressure calls and may do even more now that he is more involved in the defense. Nick Mangold said the blitzes are already coming fast and furious.5.
told me he is learning the pass coverage principles and he feels more comfortable with the zone calls instead of the man calls. He anticipates teams using spread sets to isolate him in coverage.6.
looks pretty good in the new West Coast offense. He may not be in any QB conversation, but he really knows where to go with the ball and was sharp in the shallow cross passing game. In fact he was better than the two QBs competing for the starting job.7. The defensive backs dominated the wide receivers in practice for the most part, but speedy
won more than he lost as a receiver.8. Mark Sanchez simply doesn't spin the ball as well as Geno Smith. Smith can really throw the slant game and stands tall in the pocket and has a big over-the-top release.9. Marty Mornhinweg feels
brings a toughness to the receiver position. I was a little surprised by that comment.10. QB coach David Lee is blending in some wildcat/pistol packages into the offense. It could be Jeremy Curley at QB.11. Former rugby player
is competing for a tight spot for the second straight year, but struggled catching the ball in practice. The Jets may have to go outside the organization for a third tight end.12.
blocked two Geno Smith passes in the team period of practice. Smith has to learn not to telegraph his release.13. Safety
made a very good play on a pass in the team red zone passing period, as well as making a couple of very big hits in practice.14. Both Sanchez and Geno Smith had a lot of reps in the passing game outside the pocket.15. The four-man rush on passing downs was LDE Calvin Pace, LDT Quinton Coples, RDT Mohammed Wilkerson RDE . They may be good enough that the club can limit their blitz calls.16. Willie Colon made me laugh when he said 'I kind of had a history of holding and I gotta work on it.'

About Pat KirwanPat Kirwan has been around the league since 1972, serving in a variety of roles. He was a scout for the Cardinals and Buccaneers,, a coach for the Jets as well as the team's Director of Player Administration where he negotiated contracts and managed the team's salary cap. He is the author of Take Your Eye Off the Ball: How to Watch Football by Knowing Where to Look, and the host of Sirius NFL Radio's Moving the Chains.
Biggest challenges for RGIII and other second,'s biggest obstacle is almost too obvious to state,. His torn ACL robbed him of an offseason of training and could remove some of his explosiveness as a runner early in the season,. We'll be more interested to see Griffin's accuracy and ability to stand tall in the pocket.
returned from his ACL injury,, Brady's trademark pocket toughness and pinpoint accuracy were compromised. Griffin received a ton of attention last season for his big plays,, but it was his ball location that stood out more than anything. Griffin delivered the ball exactly where it had to go as well as any quarterback in football. It will be tough to repeat that performance after his injury and missed offseason.
2014 NFL Draft: Arizona State PreviewCarl Bradford will anchor the Sun Devils' linebacker corps. USATSI In preparation for the 2014 ,
will profile the . This summer series will run until the start of the college football season.ARIZONA STATE SUN DEVILS Considering the fact that NFL teams did not deem a single ASU prospect draft worthy in 2013,, the talent on head coach Todd Graham's squad this fall might take people by surprise. This is a team that quietly finished 8-5 in Graham's first season in Tempe just one game behind Pac-12 South winner UCLA and boasts several all-conference-caliber prospects on both sides of the ball. Everyone knows about All-American defensive tackle Will Sutton. The junior led the Pac-12 with 23.5 tackles for loss a year ago and received more votes from opponents for the Morris Trophy as the conference's most dominant defensive lineman than Star Lotulelei, whom the Carolina Panthers drafted 14th overall in April. It is clear that the electricity building in Tempe isn't just a reflection of the desert heat or the ever-evolving look for Sparky, the team's mascot. ASU has another playmaker in outside linebacker Carl Bradford and a developing offense featuring heady quarterback Taylor Kelly and underrated running back Marion Grice.
picks the last five years: Eight2013
picks: NoneTop Arizona State prospects for the 2014 * Indicates underclassman1. DT Will Sutton 6-0, 280, 4.84 While undeniably shorter and lighter than scouts prefer, Sutton's instincts, athleticism and hustle made him virtually unblockable in 2012. And after a spring that earned rave reviews from Graham and his coaching staff, the expectations are that the ASU defender is saving his best for his last season in Tempe. Despite earning the focus of every opponent's blocking scheme, Sutton registered 63 tackles, including 23.5 for loss and 13 sacks in a breakout junior campaign that saw him earn consensus All-American honors. Sutton's quickness teased early in his career. He started the first game of his career and played in 12 games as a true freshman, collecting 17 tackles, including three for loss. Rather than take the next step in 2010, however, Sutton failed to make the cut academically and missed the entire season. He returned as a starter in 2011, was more effective than his rather pedestrian numbers indicate 33 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks but was hardly a game-changing presence. As such, despite his eye-popping 2012 campaign, Sutton elected to return to ASU for a fifth season. The son of former NFL defensive back and punt returner Mickey Sutton, the Sun Devil defensive tackle is remarkably light on his feet, showing the ability to split gaps and close quickly on the ball-carrier. Sutton's height serves him well, at times, as it gives him a natural leverage advantage to hold up to bigger opponents. He can, however, get stymied at the point of attack when blockers are able to get into his chest, which is yet another reason why he'll likely be one of the more heavily debated defenders this year for scouts.
2. OLB Carl Bradford 6-1, 241, 4.73* Sutton received much of the fanfare in 2012 and deservedly so, but Bradford, who finished second to his teammate among Pac-12 defenders last year with an average of 1.58 tackles for loss per game, also enjoyed a breakthrough campaign. A highly regarded prep fullback, Bradford's physicality and tenacity made his conversion to the defensive side of the ball soon after arriving at Arizona State an easy one. He redshirted in 2010 and emerged as a solid member of the rotation a year later, earning his first career start against Boise State in the 2011 Las Vegas Bowl. While his 12 tackles including 3.5 for loss and a sack gave coaches hope, no one predicted he'd explode for 81 tackles, 20.5 tackles for loss and 11.5 sacks in his first full season as the team's starting "Devilbacker." The position, which asks Bradford to rush off the edge from the three-point stance as well as attack the pocket from a stand-up role from a variety of angles, put the redshirt sophomore in position to make impact plays. With his hand in the dirt, Bradford shows enough quickness to cross the face of offensive tackles but does not possess elite flexibility or change of direction to scrape the corner or consistently evade backs in pass protection. Furthermore, while Bradford's weight room strength earned him a spot on , he did not consistently show the functional strength to bull-rush tackles and tight ends in 2012. What he does possess, however, is passion. Though lacking top-notch speed, Bradford is relentless and shows good vision to avoid blockers when in pursuit, prime reasons for the young star's eye-popping production. 3. RB Marion Grice 6-0, 205, 4.58 The breakout campaigns from ASU's dominant duo of Sutton and Bradford on defense played a critical role in the Sun Devils' first season under Graham, but it was the immediate impact made by junior-college transfer Grice that could pave the way for future success in Tempe. Grice was one of 12 junior-college prospects whom Graham and his staff signed as part of their first recruiting class and the team signed 10 more this year, including highly regarded defensive end Marcus Hardison and wideout Jaelen Strong. The Sun Devils can only hope Grice's 1,104 all-purpose yards and 19 touchdowns is a harbinger of things to come for himself as well as the program. Grice rushed for more than 1,000 yards in each of his two seasons at two-year Blinn College and signed with Texas A M after reportedly receiving interest from Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, Baylor and several other prominent programs. When the Aggies fired Mike Sherman, however, Grice reconsidered his options and wound up at Arizona State despite incumbent starter Cameron Marshall returning for his senior season. Rather than languish behind Marshall, however,, Grice emerged as ASU's most dependable weapon, leading the team with 679 yards 6.6 yards per carry and catching 41 passes for 425 yards. Just as Graham's aggressive, hybrid defensive schemes accentuate Sutton and Bradford, his spread attack's use of motion, deception and traditional downhill running takes advantage of Grice's skill set. Grice is a patient, one-cut runner with the burst to take advantage of a crease. He reads defenders well, showing the vision and toughness to cut back against the grain to elude despite possessing less-than-ideal agility and straight-line speed. As his catch total indicates, Grice is also very good as a receiver, demonstrating good hand-eye coordination as well as some savvy as a route-runner. The presence of exciting sophomore D.J. Foster could keep Grice from significantly improving his production in 2013,, but the limited reps could actually help his stock, as Grice's versatility has already caught the attention of scouts.Other Arizona State prospects worth watching:CB Osahon Irabor 5-11, 182, 4.50 Irabor and the rest of the ASU secondary was aided by the Sun Devils' terrific pass rush, but the 32-game starter boasts the athleticism to pique the interest of scouts on his own. Irabor led ASU with 14 passes broken up in 2012 and was not flagged for pass interference. More physical than his size would indicate, Irabor is a draft-worthy commodity who could make a significant jump up the board if he demonstrates better ball skills as a senior three career INTs .FB/H-Back Chris Coyle 6-2, 224, 4.67 Coyle led the Sun Devils with 57 catches for 696 yards and five touchdowns in 2012, demonstrating soft, reliable hands and good overall athleticism from the tight end position. His lack of size, however, means he'll have to adjust to a new position in the NFL.S Alden Darby 5-11, 195, 4.50 A former wide receiver whose instincts and ball skills make him effective in coverage, Darby emerged as a solid all-around safety in 2012, earning second team all-conference honors with career-highs in tackles 80 and interceptions three . Darby will need another big campaign to ease concerns about his ability to hold up at the pro level at this size, however.OLB Chris Young 6-0, 233, 4.68 Another highly athletic, albeit undersized defender, Young signed with ASU after a terrific tour at Arizona Western College, where he was named the Western States Football League Defensive Player of the Year. He wasted little time proving he could star in the Pac-12,, recording 82 tackles,, including 14 tackles for loss but might be a safety/linebacker 'tweener in the eyes of scouts.OL Jamil Douglas 6-4, 303, 5.09 *Douglas stood out as ASU's starting left guard a season ago and is being asked to make the transition to right tackle as a junior. He's light on his feet and plays bigger than his size due to his physicality and aggression.Full list of the players and teams previewed

NFL Notebook: Tampa&#039,;s Josh Freeman has focusJosh Freeman says he’s focused on trying to lead the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the playoffs,, not the big contract he probably will command if he’s able to accomplish that mission.The Bucs have not earned a postseason berth since 2007. Freeman’s coming off the most productive season of his career, but remains under pressure to prove he’s worth the kind of money it could take to keep the 25-year-old in a Bucs uniform for the long term.No news on H Rice in EuropeSeattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll says the team does not have any new information yet on the second examination on the hip of injured wide receiver Percy Harvin.Carroll spoke after practice Tuesday,, following the team having a day off. Harvin was expected to be examined in New York on Tuesday. He’s been bothered by discomfort in the area of the labrum in his hip. Carroll has not indicated which hip Harvin is experiencing discomfort.Seattle was also without wide receiver Sidney Rice, who Carroll said is in Europe undergoing a procedure to help with his knee.Carroll said the procedure is non-surgical and Rice is expected back on the practice field when he returns to Seattle.Seattle was also without defensive end and former Clay standout Cliff Avril, who has a hamstring injury.Reed won’t make promises on startSafety Ed Reed isn’t making any promises that he’ll be ready to go Sept,. 9 against San Diego.Houston’s biggest offseason acquisition spoke publicly Tuesday for the first time since he started training camp on the physically unable to perform list after surgery to repair a partly torn labrum on April 30.“I can tell you that it is close,, but I can’t say that it is the first game because I don’t know,” Reed said.
The Biggest Early Revelations from NFL Training CampsThe Cleveland Browns have a lot to look forward to as they continue to stockpile young talent onto their roster. The new coaching staff is also one of the most talented and experienced staffs in the entire league.But if second-year quarterback Brandon Weeden is not up for the task at hand,, the Browns could be facing yet another year of mediocrity.According to reports from
of WaitingForNextYear, a popular sports blog focusing on the Browns and Ohio State athletics, Weeden has struggled to find any sort of consistency with his throws. In some cases, he is overthrowing his targets so severely that his teammates are beginning to show signs of frustration.This is not much of a surprise to me considering the type of year he had as a rookie and the feeling I had about him coming out of college.Aside from the fact that he s almost 30 years old and does not have a lot of time left for improvement, Weeden never demonstrated any real ability to read defenses in a pro-style offense, nor did he show the necessary mobility required in today s NFL to buy time or make plays with your feet. He may have a nice arm,, but success at the NFL level requires a lot more than just the ability to sling it, especially when your accuracy is as inconsistent as Weeden's.Unfortunately for Browns fans,, their highly talented roster will have to wait at least a year or two before they can make a real push for divisional dominance. Weeden is not the answer in Cleveland,, but hopefully,, he can play just well enough to give these guys a fighting chance in 2013.

played the part of hero Tuesday, rescuing a family and its dog from a burning car.[+] EnlargeCourtesy Tig WillardJonathan "Tig" Willard helped to pull a woman, three children and a dog from this burning car, which quickly became engulfed on I-40 in Tennessee.The former Clemson linebacker was traveling from South Carolina to report to the Titans' training camp in Nashville when he encountered the family in distress on Interstate 40 in Tennessee."I saw this car in front of me, and it had all kinds of black smoke coming out of it," Willard told , which covers Clemson athletics. "I tried to speed up and get up next to the car to let them know the car was on fire."Willard, who signed with the Titans as an undrafted free agent, told the website he pulled beside the car and honked his horn to alert the female driver,, who was in the car with three children and a dog, that her vehicle was in flames."When she pulled over, the car was really on fire at that point," Willard . "The driver, she acted like she was in some kind of daze or something. She told me that she didn't stop because she didn't think it was her car that was on fire. Another guy stopped, and we managed to get the kids and the dog out and get them to safety, and then I finally got the woman out."Willard said Wednesday he handed an infant to the woman before pulling out another child. A second man who had stopped rescued a third child and the family's dog, and they were able to grab the woman's purse and a couple bags before the SUV exploded into flames a couple minutes later. He stayed long enough for firefighters to arrive and put out the fire.
We're proud that he got involved. He saw something,, reacted in a positive way and brought good to a tough situation. We'll probably have him stand up in front of the team and explain when we get started, so we can start camp on a very positive note.
-- Mike Munchak Willard said the car "went up quick" and that he was happy he could get the family out of the car. He said it was fortunate he stopped to help as the scene might have ended tragically if he hadn't."I was thinking that I was just doing what everybody else would do, but there were cars just going past us and no one else was stopping,, so I don't know if that is what would happen or not," he told the website.A Tennessee Highway Patrol report shows the SUV of Cheri Hubbard of South Daytona, Fla.,, caught fire and burned Tuesday afternoon near mile marker 340. The investigating trooper told Dalya Qualls, spokeswoman for the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security, that the witnesses already had left before he arrived and that Hubbard did not get the names of the men who helped her.Hubbard did not immediately return a voicemail left on her cellphone by The Associated Press on Wednesday.Coach Mike Munchak said he was proud of Willard for his heroics,."We're proud that he got involved," Munchak told reporters. "He saw something, reacted in a positive way and brought good to a tough situation. We'll probably have him stand up in front of the team and explain when we get started, so we can start camp on a very positive note."Cornerbacksaid it speaks highly of Willard to see something like that and put himself on the line to help save a family."That's pretty impressive that he was able to do that and still show up to camp on time, McCourty said.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.Subscribe
