The Schmuck Stops Here: Jets: Sanchez bounces back - Some say it’s better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt. I disagree.

Jets: Sanchez bounces back

Rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez hooked up with running back Leon Washington on a 19-yard touchdown pass with 5:57 to go in the second quarter for the first points scored against the Ravens defense in the preseason. Washington beat Jameel McClain on a wheel route on Sanchez final series of the game to salvage what started out to be a dismal performance.

Sanchez didn't light up the stadium, completing 3 of 8 passes for 43 yards and throwing for a touchdown for each team, but he's got to feel a lot better about things now than he did a 15 minutes ago.

Instant update: McClain didn't spend a lot of time beating himself up over the Jets touchdown. He just picked off Kellen Clemens in the final minute of the half and ran it in from 16 yards out to give the Ravens a 21-7 lead.

About Peter Schmuck

Peter Schmuck wants you to know that, contrary to popular belief, he is more than just a bon vivant, raconteur and collector of blousy flowered shirts. He is a semi-respected journalist who has covered virtually every sport -- except luge, of course – and tackled issues that transcend the mere games people play. If that isn’t enough to qualify him to provide witty, wide-ranging commentary on the sports world ... and the rest of the world, for that matter ... he is an avid reader of history, biography and the classics, as well as a charming blowhard who pops off on both sports and politics on WBAL Radio. That means you can expect a little of everything in The Schmuck Stops Here, but the major focus will be keeping you up to the minute on Baltimore’s major sports teams and themes, whether it’s throwing up the Orioles lineup the minute it’s announced or updating you on the latest sprained ankle in Owings Mills. Oh, and by the way, that’s Mr. Schmuck to you.
