Jets coach Rex Ryan said Monday he's not ready to bench rookie quarterback Geno Smith, who was responsible for four turnovers Sunday against the Titans.
"It’s not a thought at this point right now," Ryan said. "Not a thought."
Ryan added he would like to see Smith take the sack than rather turn the ball over. Smith has 11 turnovers through four games, which is tied for Giants quarterback Eli Manning for the league lead.
"You can’t buy experience," Ryan said. "With that being said, we still have to do a much better job with Geno in particular [thinking], ‘I have to protect the football at all costs.’ You can’t be nonchalant about it. You have to protect the ball. You can talk about it until you’re blue in the face. But when it happens, now you see it over and over. That’s the way we can improve."
