EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- In his debut as the Jets' offensive coordinator, Tony Sparano showed he likes to use all his personnel. In fact, there were 12 skill-position players that played at eight snaps apiece. Here's the unofficial breakdown (team total: 63 plays)
QUARTERBACK
• Mark Sanchez: 57
• Tim Tebow: 8
RUNNING BACK
• Shonn Greene: 42
• John Conner: 25
• Bilal Powell: 18
• Joe McKnight: 2
TIGHT END
• Dustin Keller: 25
• Jeff Cumberland: 23
• Jason Smith (OT): 20
• Konrad Reuland: 19
• Tim Tebow: 1
WIDE RECEIVER
• Santonio Holmes: 42
• Stephen Hill: 31
• Chaz Schilens: 31
• Jeremy Kerley: 20
Analysis: The Bills did a good job against the Wildcat, so Tebow didn't play as much as expected. ... It was a heavy workload for Schilens, considering he was a non-factor in the preseason due to a high-ankle sprain. His load probably increased when Patrick Turner pulled a hamstring early in the game. ... Smith, acquired recently from the Rams, already is paying dividends. He helped as an extra blocker/jumbo tight end. Anybody remember Wayne Hunter? ... Reuland, Sanchez's old high-school teammate, deserves recognition, considering he was picked up on waivers only eight days ago. That's what you call a quick study.
