Mark Sanchez clearly had a better practice on Thursday than Kellen Clemens in the Jets' starting quarterback derby. Sanchez, who had some accuracy problems early on (missing 2 of his first 6 passes), finished strong. He finished 7-of-14 in 11-on-11 drills, but that was accentuated by two TD strikes to WR Brad Smith in the red zone. Clemens finished 4-of-7, respectable numbers, but he threw two INTs, one of which came at the goal line in a red zone drill by CB Drew Coleman. It was, in fairness, an end-game, fourth-down situation so Clemens had to throw it. His other INT came courtesy of CB Rashad Barksdale, who stepped in front of WR Wallace Wright. IT was Barksdale's second INT in as many days and Clemens' 12th of training camp in 11-on-11 drills. Sanchez, who has only five INTs in 11-on-11 drills this camp, said he likes the progress he's made in his first camp en route to starting his first preseason game Monday night in Baltimore. "(For) the first two weeks, my completion percentage was down," he said. "This week, it's up in the 60s (percent). That was a great improvement. After (some) tough plays, I went back and assessed where I went wrong, got on the same page as the wideouts, and then really began starting to peak heading into this game. "That's the way I wanted to end camp _ finish strong _ and that's where things are going."
