The Jets have decided to start Kellen Clemens in their first preseason game against the Rams on Friday. "We're going in there knowing he's going to start the first game," coach Rex Ryan told the New York Daily News. "Again, Kellen is doing well. Does he wish he had a couple throws back? Sure. But I think everybody does. With [Mark] Sanchez getting more reps with the ones, it's not based on Kellen's performance. It's based on Mark's performance. Kellen knows." Sanchez, New York's first-round pick, has taken snaps with the first-team offense and has been impressive.
