In an effort to motivate starting quarterback Mark Sanchez, Jets coach Rex Ryan gave Mark Brunell some first-team snaps in practice on Monday and Tuesday. "He's not happy with me," Ryan said of Sanchez with a smile, adding, "He hasn't talked to me -- for real. He has not said one word." The Jets have dropped two straight, crushing losses to the Patriots and Broncos marred by Sanchez interceptions that were returned for touchdowns. "He probably knows what I'm doing," Ryan said. "I know Mark Sanchez extremely well. I know how tough he is. If it takes me to do this, and take a punch in the nose, I don't care, I'll take it. But we have to have it from him. He's the guy. He's my guy and we have to have it from him. "Everybody has to play (with an edge), and I just love it when he's that way. When he's that way, we're extremely hard to beat."
