CORTLAND, N.Y. -- Geno Smith threw one interception, and then another. And then, two more. It wasnt a good performance by the New York Jets rookie quarterback. At all. "It was brutal," coach Rex Ryan said flatly on Wednesday. "That was Genos worst day." Smith, competing with Mark Sanchez for the starting job, was intercepted four times, including three in 11-on-11 team drills. He is still dealing with a sprained right ankle, that he has looked less hobbled by in practice the last few days. But Ryan said it is clearly affecting his performance, as well as his fundamentals and being late on some throws. "Obviously, the ankle is part of it, but way too many picks," Ryan said. "He did not look comfortable today. Obviously, he has to come back from it, and he will come back from it. But it was a bad day." "Guys have bad days, but this was a really bad day." It was also an unseasonably cold day in Cortland -- the temperature at the start of practice was a mere 52 degrees with occasional rain. "It was a beautiful December day today," Ryan quipped. "That, without question, had to be the coldest training camp day Ive ever been a part of. Thats about 30 years. "Man, that was chilly. Almost as chilly as the offensive performance today." And that included Smiths performance. The second-round pick, however, insisted the ankle has not been a factor. "I havent really been trying to use it as an excuse," he said. "Ive been going out there and giving it my all, and I think Ive done a good job of just pushing through this week." Ryan agreed that Smith hasnt been using the injury an excuse for his performances lately, but added that its "bravado" by the quarterback saying its not affecting him. "Guys, you see it out there," Ryan said. "Hes not able to move like he normally does. Hes not able to drive the ball like he normally does with his velocity. That doesnt mean he still cant get out there. Hes competing. Hes been out there every day. "But is he 100 per cent? I would say that hes not 100 per cent." The Jets have still not decided on a starter for the teams preseason game Saturday night against Jacksonville, but Sanchez has outperformed Smith this week. When asked if he wants to start Saturday, Smith curiously said: "No comment." Ryan acknowledged that its a "possibility" Smith wont play against the Jaguars, but added that theres still plenty of time for the injury to heal. Smith, meanwhile, remained positive about his camp so far -- as well as the injury. "The ankles feeling good," Smith said. "Its getting progressively better." Smith was injured in the teams preseason opener at Detroit last Friday night, but has not missed any practice time. He worked mostly with the first-team offence Wednesday, and appeared to move around the field with only a slight limp at times. With both quarterbacks facing the scout-team defences as the Jets prepare for Jacksonville, Smith was not sharp. He was intercepted by Rontez Miles on a pass that went off the hands of Ryan Spadola in 7-on-7 drills, and also picked off by Royce Adams, Jacquies Smith and Bret Lockett in 11-on-11 drills. "It was a bad day today," Ryan said. "Theres no other way to put it. It was a bad day. Was I disappointed he had the day he did today? Absolutely. These days happen, but you dont expect them to happen." When asked what happened on the interceptions, Smith got slightly testy. "I dont know," he said. "Youve got to watch the tape man, Im pretty sure you all got it. Just go ahead and watch it." Ryan indicated that he and his staff need to see more of both Smith and Sanchez before they consider who will win the competition and start in Week 1 against Tampa Bay. "Will it become more of a sense of urgency probably after this game? I would say so," Ryan said. "I thought this was going to be a real competition and it wouldnt be just solved after one week of a preseason game. I dont know that many are really decided after one preseason game. So I dont think its a surprise that theres not clarity at a number of positions."

SIMONS ISLAND, Ga.Code-hopper Jarryd Hayne has paid tribute to his Fiji sevens coach after he nailed a one-pointer to secure Gold Coast Titans a thrilling NRL victory over Wests Tigers at Campbelltown.Playing a rare NRL match near his western Sydney childhood home, Hayne delivered an improved showing from last weeks return match as the Titans kept their finals hopes alive.Playing in the unfamiliar position of five-eighth, Hayne saw two field goal attempts from halves partner Ash Taylor drift wide before he stepped up and drew upon the skills from his short sevens stint with the newly-crowned Olympic champions.Yeah, you know, Ash has two attempts so I thought Id jump in, Hayne told Fox Sports following the 19-18 win.[In] Fiji Sevens we do a lot of drop goals; so Jeremy Manning, our field goal coach, that one went down to him - I definitely took my time and just went into my rhythm.I actually thought I was going to get charged down; so I just kept cool and calm, and thoughtt if I hit it right it should go over and just hoped it didnt get charged down which it didnt - and I hit it beautifully.ddddddddddddHayne returned to the NRL after failing to make Fijis squad for the Rio Olympics, opting against a return to former club Parramatta to sign with the Titans.The former San Francisco 49ers player endured a mixed outing on the Gold Coast last week and while he again made some errors, there was just as much for Titans fans to be excited about.Im fine, Im not really nervous; I know what to expect, Hayne said.Its going to be a tough couple of weeks for me and obviously getting the body in tune I think [is the big thing]. Hayne saidI think coming back from a rugby union background its a lot more physical in league and thats probably the one key area where, you know, each week it gets easier and easier. ' ' '
