New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes confident in two QB run offence - NFL News
New York Jets this year have two quarterbacks that will be competing for snaps with both starter, Mark Sanchez and backup Tim Tebow looking to guide the team to glory.
The Jets have repeatedly said that Sanchez will be their starter come the 2012 season but have also said that Tebow might take as many as 20 snaps per game as he runs the wild card offence.
This has analysts scratching their heads with many unable to see how the Jets will balance both quarterbacks’ demands for game-time.
New York Jets wide receiver, Santonio Holmes says that both Sanchez and Tebow will be able to work easily with each other.
The wide receiver stated that Sanchez will be the starter and the franchise will not replace him with Tebow if he makes a few mistakes early on.
Speaking in an interview with the NFL Network he said:
"You have to allow one quarterback to get into the rhythm of a game and it starts from the preparation in practice."
Adding further he said:
"You don't just change a guy out just because he has a few mistakes early into a game. Coming into this season, we have a lot to expect from Sanchez."
The wide receiver also went on to talk about Tebow and said that the former Denver Broncos quarterback is going to do his job well when given the chance.
He also hinted that Tebow will come in on specific plays designed for him by offensive coordinator Tony Sparano.
He said:
"Tebow is going to have plays where he comes in and plays. I'm pretty sure he's going to get them done and he's going to do his job just as well as any other quarterback would when they get an opportunity to get on the field."
This is a huge experiment for the Jets and it will be interesting to see how the team lines up during training camp.
In the regular season fans will really get to see how both Sanchez and Tebow will be used by the franchise and the franchise could have great success or like last season once again implode.
The Jets ended last year with a poor 8-8 record and if they are to get back into the playoffs this year it will be essential for both Sanchez and Tebow to perform their roles.
