Quote of the day
"[Geno Smith's] a rookie, and we make him look like a 10-year veteran." -- Atlanta safety William Moore, after Smith led the Jets to a turnover-free 30-28 win in Atlanta Daily blurb
I guess the Jets don’t suck after all. Or maybe Atlanta does. Either way, the Falcons are already 4 games behind New Orleans in the NFC South. For that matter, NFC South teams have only won a total of 7 games in five weeks, and New Orleans has five of them.
Geno Smith: 16/20, 21 yds rushing, 199 yds passing, 3 TDs, no turnovers. Note to Mark Sanchez – dust off that resume. Then again, his recent resume might not be a very strong selling point. Pull out the version that stops a few years ago.
Only 42 of Football Pickoff slates posted positive scores this weekend. Congrats to Mauison, who picked 12 of 14 correctly for the weekend’s best score of 446. Interestingly, heading into the last two games of the weekend, he was 12-0.
