Surprise, surprise... Jets finding Geno Smith "tends to hold the ball too long"

"tends to hold the ball too long"

"...he (Geno) has taken an unusually high number of sacks -- six. (with just 32 attempts) That shows he can be tentative in the pocket,"

Not for nothing, but this is something 'Cuse fans have known for years.

He stops looking down field completely when the defense closes on him.. NFL DL's will feast on him.

There's a reason Doug passed on Gino in Buffalo.

When all of the mock drafts were projecting Geno to Buffalo at #9, I knew that there was no way in hell that Marrone would touch him with a 10 foot pole. For all of the gaudy stats he amassed, we made Geno look below average three years in a row--all Cuse victories.
 



THAT made standing in the wet, cold snow totally worthwhile!

I plan to take a ride down to Cortland on Friday to hopefully see Geno in action. Hope he doesn't get spooked by my orange attire. :D

By the way, anybody who is planning to attend one of the Jets open practices have to pre-register and print out a ticket of sorts to gain entry. All free, though:

What got Steward fired in my opinion is when he tried to make Smith a running qb...he struggled quite a bit doing that and was by far more comfortable running the shotgun under the moonshine hair club for men coach they have now.
