Rex Ryan has been heavily criticized for playing quarterback Mark Sanchez in the fourth quarter of Saturday's preseason game. But Sanchez himself, who was injured during the game, said Monday that he had no problem with the move.
"I'm not here to second-guess the coaches," Sanchez said. "If they call you to play, you better be ready to play, and I was. So I went in and played and tried to win."
He added: "Look, I'm a competitor. And as a player, it's not my job to worry about when you're going in, who's in, what string, this or that. If they call your number, you've got to play and that's what I do, that's what I've always done. That's not my call. That's the coach's decision."
