    Question for you smart people......isn't the third preseason game typically when the starters play the most?

    If you are thinking of buying tickets to a preseason game, don't.

    I think the third game is when you might see the starters the most, but a lot of that depends on the coach.

    Don't try to read my mind. You'll be wrong 100 percent of the time.

    I got free tickets to Skins-Patriots on Aug. 28, the third week of the preseason. Just wondering how much of the starters I should expect to see.

    Honestly, I would not even waste my time if I had free tickets. Getting in and out of Fed Ex is bad enough, but I am always wrong, so go and have a great time watching players trying not to get hurt.

    Brady will probably play a couple series, because he wants to, but Belichick has really given up on even pretending the exhibitions are anything but tough practices for rookies and scrubs battling for roster spots.

    So don't go.

    I'm a big boy. I've been to FedEx many, many times. I know what I'm doing.

    I wasn't asking about the game-day experience, chief.

    Thanks for your concern, though.

    CORTLAND, N.Y. (AP) —Mark Sanchez reared back and lofted a pretty pass downfield that landed in Jerricho Cotchery's hands for a touchdown.

    It was the first play of team drills and the beginning of a brilliant practice Saturday for the New York Jets rookie quarterback.

    "I put it in a place where only J-Co can get it," Sanchez said, "and he made a great adjustment for the ball."

    Working exclusively with the first-team offense for the first time this summer, Sanchez completed 10 of 19 passes for two touchdowns and an interception in the morning session. He also further solidified his edge over Kellen Clemens in the team's quarterback competition.

    "Every day needs to be a step forward when you get a chance to go with that first-team group," said Sanchez, trying to win the spot vacated when Brett Favre retired. "I thought it really showed that I was ready for that, and I took advantage of that time."

    Meanwhile, Clemens struggled running the second-team offense, going 4 of 12 with no scores, an interception — and two other passes that could've been picked off.
