Brett Favre looked sharp during two drives (14 plays) in his preseason debut as the starting quarterback of the N.Y. Jets tonight. The Jets would eventually lose the game, 13-10, to the Redskins, but Brett finished his brief evening 5-of-6 passing for 48 yards and a touchdown to tight end Dustin Keller. This is borderline TMI, but here’s a rundown of Brett’s throws:
- 1st pass: 11-yard completion to Jerricho Cotchery
- 2nd pass: 10-yard completion to Chris Baker
- 3rd pass: 4-yard completion to Leon Washington
- 4th pass: Incomplete
- 5th pass: 19-yard completion to Jerricho Cotchery
- 6th pass: 4-yard TD to Dustin Keller
Brett was sacked once. He lasted 14 plays after head coach Eric Mangini said he expected Brett to take 8-12 snaps. Considering Brett has only been in camp a little over a week (his head must still be spinning), I though this was an excellent showing. And I guess with all the coverage I’ve given Brett’s “unretirement” over the past month, it really wasn’t that weird for me to see him in something other than a Packers jersey. I’m already used to it.
