Things Learned From The Giants-Jets Preseason Game

Can the Giants regain some of their Super Bowl luster? And are the Jets ready to burst out of the gates, instead of just playing hard at the second half of the season?

Victor Cruz looks like a legit player. Jets linebacker Bart Scott summed up Cruz’s performance the best by saying he didn’t know who Ortiz was “but he looked like Randy Moss out there with those three touchdowns”. Cruz caught six passes for 145 yards. He scored three TD’s including a one-handed catch. Not bad for an undrafted player.

Mark Sanchez is ready to throw more. Many thought that Sanchez was accurate last season because he didn’t throw as much. In this game, he proved everyone wrong. Sanchez showed his accuracy by completing 13 of his 17 passes. He led the Jets on three scoring drives. He did throw one interception but overall he played great. Even Sanchez himself was satisfied with his performance.

LT didn’t look like he lost a step. LT looked fresh and nimble on his eight attempts. Of course it will be a different story once the season starts and he feels the wear and tear. No doubt that Rex Ryan will limit his touches to keep him fresh at the end of games.

Jets need Darrelle Revis back quickly. Revis is holding out hoping for a more lucrative contract offer. His absence was noticeable based on how Jets secondary played.

Preseason games usually mean nothing but fans need something to keep them excited for the NFL season.  Still, preseason games get starters comfortable on the field.
