An assortment of tweets that have been posted throughout the week that I found to be interesting. One thing of note, I didn't really decide to do this until this morning, so there are probably a decent amount I missed. If I decide to do this again next week, I'll do a better job of keeping up with them.

On the Jets Quarterback Situation
I fail to see why Rex Ryan is getting killed for admitting he missed Sanchez's interception. You think Andy Reid knows what defense it is?

Head coaches that come up one one side of the ball often focus on that side even when they're promoted. Fairly common.
— SI_DougFarrar (@SI_DougFarrar) August 12, 2013
Head coaches will often hire a guy for the other side of the ball who acts as a de facto head coach for the offense or defense.

I expect Rex to say competition will continue through Giants game. Jets going to give Geno every chance to win the job #NYJ

Lots of conspiracy theories out there. I think Sanchez starting Saturday is just based on Smith's ankle and how it affected him in practice

Other Jet Things
Interesting tidbit on Jaiquawn Jarrett - he was the last player signed by Mike Tannenbaum before his firing #NYJ

Lions LB Travis Lewis fined $15,750 by league for horse-collar tackle on John Griffin, who suffered season-ending broken leg. #Jets

I love Rex's take on tackling & pursuit. He essentially tells his guys to attack because he'll have his guys backing him up if he misses.

Gabbert vs. Sanchez this weekend? For real? I'm torn between not watching the horror, and grabbing popcorn..
— Benjamin Allbright (@AllbrightNFL) August 15, 2013
If Sanchez/Gabbert somehow snuck in on defense and intercepted the other...would the universe implode?

sorry, meant to tweet hard NOT to be impressed with Jets DL. Mo Wilkerson on the cusp of a monster season I believe. Writing column on him

We might be on the verge of an era of dominating young DTs -- Atkins, Cox, Brockers, Taylor -- Watt and Wilkerson play like it

TEBOW!
In the last 25 years, 16 QBs have won the Heisman. Only 1 has won an NFL Playoff game: Tim Tebow

When are the Patriots holding their Tebow jersey exchange?
— Bart Hubbuch (@HubbuchNYP) August 17, 2013
Tebow needs to get on with his life's work
— Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) August 17, 2013
Not sure what you guys saw, but Tebow just threw a strike to invisible wide receiver Chad Ochocinco.
— Jeff Howe (@jeffphowe) August 17, 2013
People who were arguing w/ me about Tebow last night, I'll let his 1-7 for -1 yd & 1 INT performance vs TB 3rd stringers make my case for me

Random Things
Talked to two scouts who insist Manziel is a slot receiver and special teams guy at the next level. I can see it. Not high on his QB chances

As we ready for another preseason Saturday, a reminder: IT IS PRESEASON. No overreacting.

In the NFL, talent is so close that it really falls on coaching to get the most out of their players. Intelligence on staff is paramount.

If anyone cares, the way media knows what team execs/scouts are present at each game, every press box has a list with assigned seats.
