The cruel reminders of yesteryear cascaded down on Geno Smith during the early part of the Green and White practice Saturday night. He has a mountain to climb to rally Jets fans and an unforgiving MetLife Stadium with a zero-tolerance policy against turnovers to his side.
And so, though Smith has enjoyed an interception-free summer, the boobirds who demand that he drive the so-called Jets Porsche nowhere near as recklessly as Sheldon Richardson might have savaged him on several occasions, most notably following a Calvin Pace strip-sack fumble that Calvin Pryor recovered.
With friends like that, who needs enemies indeed?
