There has been several months of speculation on how much playing time Tim Tebow will receive in the Jets' Wildcat package. On Friday morning, GM Mike Tannenbaum put a number to it -- albeit a vague number.
"Mark (Sanchez) is going to be on the field for the lion's share," Tannenbaum said on "Mike & Mike" in the Morning on ESPN Radio. "You guys will see. His playing time will be 80-90 percent over the 16 games. He's clearly our quarterback."
OK, let's do some math. The Jets had 1,030 offensive plays last season. If Sanchez plays 80 percent, it means Tebow will get about 206 snaps -- about 13 per game. If Sanchez plays 90 percent, it means 103 snaps for Tebow -- about 6.5 per game.
But that might not be an accurate gauge of the Tebow effect, because there will certainly be times when he's on the field with Sanchez.

Sanchez said QB coach David Lee is stressing footwork drills. He said Lee considers proper footwork "an art form." #Jets

Sanchez sounds like he's really bought into Mornhinweg's system: "I just really feel like this coaching staff will get the best out of me."

Regardless of who represents him, Geno Smith will sign a four-year contract for $5 million, give or take a few thousand. #wagescale #Jets

I'm wondering if Jay Z makes it to Cortland this summer for training camp. I'm sure he'd be a big hit at Doug's Fish Fry. #Jets

Some perspective required: #Jets are learning new offensive system, WR corps depleted, defense always ahead of offense this early.

Early thought on #Jets QB comp: Ugh. Sanchez 6-for-11, 3 INTs, 1 sack. (1 INT may have been a sack.) Geno Smith 3-for-10, 1 INT, 1 sack
