There is very minimal home field edge. Giants starters will play about a half, which for the third preseason game is not that long. Coughlin indicated that Curtis Painter and Ryan Nassib would both play Saturday night. David Carr is not expected to play. Carr and Painter are competing for the backup role behind Eli Manning.

We are glad that a sucky journeyman is battling a future sucky journeyman at best for a roster spot. While the Jets QB situation is not impressive for regular season, bottom line is they have two guys who are at least serviceable starting quality, both to approach with an intense regular season atmosphere.

Geno Smith has improved throughout camp. The lowlights shown on TV notwithstanding, Mark Sanchez has actually played well in the preseason.
