Geno Smith had an excellent practice on Thursday, showing off his solid arm when he didn't telegraph where he was going with the ball. If the season started next week, Jets coach Rex Ryan said his rookie wouldn't be ready. But if he excels during training camp, then he might be. "His steps -- dropbacks -- his mechanics footwork wise weren't dialed in the way they'll have to be at this level," Ryan said according to the Newark Star-Ledger. "I think some of that is your five- and seven-step drops, it's all new to him. But sometimes you can't even notice it. Because when he's on, the guy is absolutely terrific. We knew that it's not an easy process but it's one that I have confidence that when we get to Cortland, I think when the thing goes I think you're going to see the guy keep improving and improving and improving."
