A nice write-up from the Daily News...

Mark Sanchez was up late the night before his first practices with the New York Jets, staring into a mirror and reciting calls from his playbook.

"You've just got to run the plays and say it over and over," a smiling Sanchez said. "Just so I can say it and hear what it sounds like to me."

The preparation appeared to pay off for the fifth overall pick in the draft, who looked sharp as the Jets' rookie camp opened Friday with a buzz reminiscent of Brett Favre's arrival last summer.

"All I've prepared for is knowing that people expect results here and they want wins," Sanchez said. "I'm here to learn this playbook as fast as I can, mesh with the guys and start to lead. That's the game plan."

Sanchez's day started with some stretching in the middle of the indoor field, fittingly just in front of the Jets' logo at the 50-yard line. All eyes were on the rookie from USC who has quickly become the face of the franchise.

There will be a high level of expectations that he will have to face but you can tell that Mark has the world by tail so I expect he will handle it just fine. I am so stoked that the Jets finally have a decent QB...its going to be fun to watch!!
