NEW YORK -- Geno Smith is still No.
Puma By Rihanna Creeper . 1 for the New York Jets. For the moment. Whether its
the second-year quarterbacks job to lose, well, offensive co-ordinator Marty
Mornhinweg will see what effect Michael Vick has in whats expected to be a hotly
contested competition this summer. "We brought Mike in to compete, to push Geno
and to make Geno the very best he can make him, and I wanted to make sure Mike
was ready for that," Mornhinweg said during a conference call Tuesday. "I think
this thing is going to work beautifully. Well see." Smith started all 16 games
for the Jets after incumbent Mark Sanchez was lost for the year after injuring
his shoulder in the preseason. It was a roller-coaster ride for Smith and the
Jets, as the young quarterback led four comeback victories in the fourth quarter
or overtime in his first nine games, but then struggled mightily with six
interceptions and no touchdowns in three straight losses. He bounced back with a
solid final four games, with only two turnovers while leading the Jets to three
wins and an 8-8 finish. "Were going to structure it a certain way," Mornhinweg
said. "One thing I want to make sure of, that nothing impedes the young
quarterbacks progression. Im talking about Geno. He progressed beautifully, and
Im talking the last quarter of the season. Played like a winning quarterback,
played at a high level." Not surprisingly, Mornhinweg acknowledged that Smith
will take the first snaps with the starting offence when the team begins
on-field practices in a few weeks. The Jets did the same last spring with
Sanchez getting the first snaps over Smith. "Geno will get a few more reps, but
not many (more)," Mornhinweg said. "Im going to try to do this thing right, and
itll vary day to day, much like Ive done it in the past." Smith said last week
hes taking the approach that hes the starter, and Vick acknowledged that when he
signed with New York last month. But that doesnt mean Vick will be resigned to
the fact he will be the backup, and thats one reason Mornhinweg was happy to be
reunited with the veteran after their four seasons together in Philadelphia. "He
has a really important role here," he said of Vick. "Hes 33 years old, and hes
still got it. I look at him as a young 33. Hes still got it. ... When hes called
upon to play, Ive got great confidence in Mike." And, if it turns out its in a
mentor-type role as it was for Vick last year with Nick Foles in Philadelphia,
Mornhinweg anticipates no issues. "Mikes going to handle that real well," he
said. "Hes going to do the right thing." Vick is extremely familiar with
Mornhinwegs system, theoretically giving the Jets two starting-calibre
quarterbacks who can run the offence with little drop-off in case of injury or
ineffectiveness. "I would expect Geno to progress at a high rate with Mikes
help," Mornhinweg said. "I want to get Mike back comfortable with our
terminology, with our system, exactly how we want these things done, so its just
that simple. Vick isnt the only newcomer to an offence that finished 25th
overall and struggled with consistency last season. The Jets signed former
Titans star Chris Johnson to bolster the backfield and former Broncos wide
receiver Eric Decker to upgrade perhaps the teams weakest spot a year ago.
Mornhinweg is intrigued by the pass-catching ability Johnson has, but also
believes he can be the "electric, dynamic" type of running back he was during
his best years in Tennessee now that hes healthy. "Thats a pretty good little
1-2 punch," Mornhinweg said of the Chris Ivory-Johnson pairing. Decker had 87
receptions for 11 touchdowns last season while catching passes from
Peyton Manning. Meanwhile, the Jets leading receiver was Jeremy Kerley with 43
catches, and it was clear New York would need to get better at the position
through free agency -- they also signed Jacoby Ford -- and the draft. "Last
year," Mornhinweg said, "I thought was quite possibly the start of something
special." NOTES: Defensive co-ordinator Dennis Thurman said "the skys the limit"
for Dee Milliner, the Jets top pick last year who will assume the No. 1 CB spot
with the departure of Antonio Cromartie. Milliner struggled at times while
dealing with injuries, but Thurman believes he can become "a very good corner."
... While cornerback remains a potential target in the first round, Thurman
expressed confidence in his current group. "Im comfortable with our cornerback
situation," he said. "We have guys who can play."

Olynyk wrote, The true north strong and free! @CanBball.While the 23-year-old
continues to work on his NBA game in his sophomore season in Boston, his
national allegiance is solid.Definitely, Olynyk said when asked if he feels a
sense of responsibility in representing Canada. Its national pride, pride for
your country.The seven-foot centre, his long hair held back by a headband, was
speaking before shootaround at Ryerson Universitys Mattamy Athletic Centre,
where curious students peered through the glass doors.Hours later, Olynyk would
score eight points and grab five rebounds in the Celtics 116-109 pre-season loss
to the Toronto Raptors at the Air Canada Centre. Olynyk arrived back in Celtics
camp after playing for Canada on the teams 11-game summer European tour, using
the experience to help springboard him into his second NBA season.I put in a lot
of work this summer through the summer league, then with the national team, just
trying to get in competitive situations, just trying to better myself any way I
can to help the team, Olynyk said. I worked on a lot of stuff, worked on pretty
much every aspect of my game, just trying to get better at everything I do, in
terms of trying to get my body as NBA ready as I could. Then just trying to be
more consistent.Olynyk, taken 13th overall in the 2013 NBA draft, averaged 8.7
points and 5.2 rebounds a game in his rookie season in Boston. This pre-season,
hes started at centre in all three of Bostons pre-season games — he finished
with 26 total points and 13 rebounds in the previous two. Hes a big part of our
team, said Celtics coach Brad Stevens. The way that were wanting to play, his
skill-set ... hes not necessarily a traditional centre from a skill-set
standpoint and hes not going to weigh more than most centres, but he is a
matchup problem for most bigs because he can play on the block. But hes really
good facing the basket. Olynyk was born in Toronto and spent 12 years in the
Ontario capital before moving to Kamloops, B.C., with his family. He grew up a
fan of the Raptors, and his mom Arlene was a scorekeeper for Canadas lone NBA
team. Father Ken coached the University of Torontos basketball team for 13
seasons, and also worked for the Raptors one year.Hes really good, Olynyk said
on having his dad as a constant resource. Hes been there my whole life, teaching
me stuff, telling me what to do, what to work on, how to evaluate my game, which
is really helpful, especially with the knowledge and experience he has.While the
Canadian mens team didnt qualify for the FIBA World Cup this past summer, Olynyk
and Anthony said they both followed the national womens team at the recent world
championship. The women went into the tournament ranked No. 8, and finished
fifth.They did a great job, came fifth which is unbelievable for tthem, finished
higher than their ranking which is good, Olynyk said.
Puma
Creepers Rosa. I have a good friend who plays for the team, so I was
definitely rooting for the women to be able to do well, said Anthony, a
32-year-old centre from Montreal. I was definitely proud about how the women
played and carried themselves on the court.Its time for the men to step up and
produce some strong results as well, Anthony said.Weve shown a lot of pride on
the mens side, but now with the young talent thats coming in (such as Andrew
Wiggins and Tyler Ennis), were looking forward to having a lot better results in
competition.Ryersons new gym was a fitting venue for the Celtics Canadian
contingent Friday — its the basketball venue for the 2015 Pan American Games in
Toronto. Canada is expected to field its top teams in mens and womens
basketball, as a warm-up to their respective FIBA Americas Olympic qualifying
tournaments.Having the Games here in Toronto, thats huge, Anthony said. Its very
rare that we get a chance to play on home soil, so I think thats a great
opportunity and a great stage for this team to be able to showcase the new
talent thats here.Still, Anthony isnt sure yet what his summer will
hold.Obviously its going to be big, with them looking to qualify for (the
Olympics), Anthony said. Ill just see how I feel, first off, physically. Its
been a lot of years playing with the national team and with all the years in the
NBA, it starts to catch up. So I want to be smart about everything, but I
definitely would want to be able to help out that team in any way I can.Anthony,
whos been limited this pre-season by a groin injury, averaged a point and 1.5
rebounds in seven minutes a game last season after he arrived in Boston in a
trade with the Miami Heat. He didnt play Friday.Stevens was asked about
stockpiling Canadian big men.You know what, theyve been good, the coach said.
All three are great guys, easy guys to coach. Joel is a veteran thats gone from
starting on a runner-up team to not seeing much action on a championship team to
being traded and seeing spot action here. And hes been nothing but a great
leader and veteran and guy we want around. The Heat honoured Anthony when the
Celtics travelled to Miami a few days after the Canadian was traded last
year.You noticed. . .how much the Miami team and organization respected and
liked him, you could tell that by the way he was approached, said Stevens. They
did a thing honouring him after the first quarter, that doesnt happen with
everybody. Hes a guy that you like to have around the locker-room. Powell,
meanwhile, was taken 45th overall in this years draft by the Charlotte Hornets.
The Stanford University grad was first traded to Cleveland in July and then to
Boston late last month.I like him, hes a very live body, hes active, hes long,
hes aggressive, I think hes got a future in this league, Stevens said of the
Toronto native. Right now, hes getting a lot thrown at him, fair or unfair.
