Tebow or not, Jets’ offence struggling to get anything going through 2 preseason games

By Dennis Waszak Jr.

NEW YORK — Things were supposed to look a lot different for the New York Jets’ offence.

There’s a new co-ordinator in Tony Sparano, a rededication to a run-first approach and the addition of the elusive and electrifying Tim Tebow.

So far, this year’s Jets look a lot like last year’s — and that’s not a good thing. At all. Through two preseason games, the Jets (0-2) have failed to score a touchdown.

Mark Sanchez has been knocked around, much as he was last season, with a serious lack of pass protection that has led to him being sacked five times and prevented him from having time to do much of anything. Still, it’s just two preseason games and the Jets have shown little of what they expect their offence to be.
