Mark Sanchez- 18/26, 241 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT

Stephen Hill- 5 catches, 89 yards, 2 TD

Jeremy Kerley- 4 catches, 45 yards, 1 TD, 68 yard PR TD

Austin Howard- shut down Mario Wiliams

I know we had 3 INTs but other than that the defense looked bad. Fitzpatrick was really bad.

This was probably the toughest one to decide on. I believed in Sanchez this whole time, so I knew he would step up. Hill had a great game, he dropped the very first pass, but focused and played great through the game. Kerley was amazing, he got called out, and answered to rex. Thats what Ive been waiting to see from him.

But I went with Howard. This dude was undrafted, and cut from 2 other teams. Came in to camp worked hard. Became the starter, and made Mario Williams look like a nobody. The oline looks so much better with him in it, people have now forgotten that was our biggest issue at one point. I'm real happy for him.

not fair to say the defense looked bad today, they were awesome (with the exception of the long Spiller TD run) until the game became a blowout. Give it to Sanchez since it's easy to point to the leader, but the entire offense was very impressive today

Tough decision. Mark was great but Howard made Mario Williams look like Kimo von Olhoeffen. Without him Mark has no time to do anything.

I am so excited about Hill. Dude is a legit deep threat.

There were a lot of impressive performances. Sanchez probably had the most pressure to perform, so I'll give my vote to him for playing a fantastic game despite that.

Austin Howard also deserves some serious love for filling our biggest hole (at least for one game), and making it look easy.

The WRs were hopefully giving us a preview of good things to come.

Sanchez looked really good today, he gets my vote. He seemed to be playing with confidence. He was able to make his reads more quickly than we've seen in the recent past.

I'm impressed by the way Sparano called the game, too. I understand the WR corp wasn't built for speed last season, but Schotty never seemed to emphasize that in order to run the ball like the Jets want to do, they have to throw the ball down the field. That's how the Giants ran their ball-control offense in the 80's under Parcells. It's a relief to see that Sparano gets that, and Sanchez and company have the ability to execute that strategy.
