Well if last week did anything, it showed that Mark Sanchez has that play making ability. He connected on his first pass deep to David Clowney and went for 88 yards on three of four passing. He will get the start this week versus the Ravens. It should be an interesting match up as he will likely see a more toned down defense from the Ravens than if it were a regular season match up. In the last few practices, he has struggled and will need to step it up in time for Monday. We need to see him develop a chemistry with Dustin Keller this week. That is a perfect option for our rookie quarterback. We already know that Jerricho Cotchery will make plays no matter what. He is a gamer. Now is the time for Sanchez to step up and show that he can sustain the drives. We have a potent running attack tandem with another rookie x-factor to boot. This makes for a reliable and consistent enough rushing game to relieve some pressure off of Sanchez' shoulders. Now he needs to start to demonstrate that consistently. Being given the start this week is the first step in him being given the opportunity to do that.

Sounds like Chez had a better practice yesterday afternoon, along with Kellen’s more consistent performance according to Cimini.
After a couple of poor days, Mark Sanchez rallied a little today with the second-team offense. He wasn’t lights-out, but he was more like the Sanchez from the pre-season opener. In 11-on-11, he was 5-for-10, with no TDs and no interceptions. He finest...

Kevin Walter recorded his second straight 800+ yard season. He doubled his TD output from four to eight though, which gave him significantly more fantasy value. His is pretty much the choice when defenses are forced to pick a poison.
With Andre Johnson, Steve Slaton, and Owen Daniels attracting so much attention, Walter is able to do his thing. Consistency is his big issue...
