                                      FLORHAM PARK, N. Daurice Fountain Jersey .J. -- Whos No. 2? Well, theres no debate for Todd Bowles and the New York Jets.The coach says Geno Smith remains the backup quarterback behind starter Ryan Fitzpatrick, with Bryce Petty in the third spot on the teams depth chart.Genos No. 2 right now, Bowles said Saturday after a steamy practice. Youre not making a competition after one preseason game.Smith 8 of 14 for 79 yards and a touchdown in the Jets 17-13 win over Jacksonville on Thursday night. Petty, a fourth-round draft pick last year, was 7 of 14 for 93 yards. Rookie Christian Hackenberg, a second-rounder this year, did not play.He did OK, Bowles said of Smiths performance. Bryce played OK and Fitz played OK. The biggest thing was they didnt turn it over, we didnt have any pre-snap penalties and weve had those all week since camp began. They gave us a chance. I thought they commanded the game well.Smith was the Jets starter until last August, when he had his jaw broken by a punch from a teammate. Fitzpatrick moved into the starting role and thrived, throwing a career-high 31 touchdown passes while leading New York to a 10-6 mark and within a win of the playoffs.It appeared Smith might have a chance to reclaim his job this offseason as Fitzpatrick, a free agent, and the Jets went through a long contract stalemate. But Fitzpatrick re-signed just before the first training camp practice -- moving Smith to the backup role again and Petty to No. 3.There has been some speculation that Petty could perhaps push Smith for the No. 2 role this summer. That doesnt appear to be the immediate plan, nor does giving Petty some snaps with the second-team offense in the preseason.Going forward, well sit down and discuss it, Bowles said. Obviously, we expect the 1s to go a little bit longer than they played in the last game. Depending on what we need to do, well adjust them going forward.Bowles also said the rotation wont change much in practice, either.I mean, Ive been looking at Bryce for a while now, the coach said.It will be intriguing to watch how the Jets quarterback situation plays out over the next few weeks. Both Bowles and general manager Mike Maccagnan have said that its a possibility New York could keep all four quarterbacks on their roster heading into the regular-season opener against Cincinnati.Many NFL teams keep only two, with some only going with three, at most. Washington -- Robert Griffin III, Kirk Cousins, Rex Grossman and Pat White -- and Minnesota -- Christian Ponder, Matt Cassel, McLeod Bethel-Thompson and Joe Webb, who was listed as a wide receiver -- both in 2013, were the last teams to open a season with four QBs on their roster.The Jets, whose next game is at Washington next Friday night, had a nearly 2+-hour practice despite the heat index putting temperatures around 100 degrees.Bowles didnt change much of the regular routine, other than having the players take more breaks and making sure they were all well hydrated.Other than that, the guys have to play through it, he said. (We should feel) lucky. Jacksonville doesnt have an indoor bubble. Theyre out in it every day, so we can stomach a couple of days.Bowles is a former NFL safety who played when teams would routinely practice twice a day during training camp. That was eliminated with the leagues collective bargaining agreement in 2011, limiting teams to just one practice a day.I think football coaches that played do (like this weather), said Bowles, who played for Washington and San Francisco from 1986-93, because the two-a-days you went through back then, for five and six weeks every day, you have no sympathy.Fitzpatrick estimated he drank about 10 bottles of water during practice.Thats for me, and I know that the linemen are crushing it, he said. Theyre drinking a lot more than I am. Some of the guys have to change their shoes they get so sweaty. They get so sopping wet that they have to do a quick oil change and get new shoes on and go.Game notes RB Matt Forte remained sidelined with a hamstring injury suffered while working out on his own shortly before training camp began. He has participated in individual drills just once in camp, leading to uncertainty as when hell be healthy. Hes day by day, week by week, Bowles said ... LB David Harris had an excused absence from practice. ... CB Dexter McDougle (leg), WR-KR Kyle Williams (hamstring) and S Ronald Martin (unspecified) returned and practiced fully. NT Steve McLendon (toe) and S Doug Middleton (leg) were among those who didnt practice.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Colts Stitched Jerseys .

United of Major League Soccer. United chose the defender in the second round of the 2013 MLS re-entry draft.Arsenal can lay down a marker in the Premier League title race with a win against Manchester United on Saturday, says Graeme Souness. The two sides go head-to-head in the ReUnited fixture, live on Sky Sports this Saturday as Jose Mourinho faces old foe Arsene Wenger for the first time since taking charge at Old Trafford.Mourinho has had a rocky start with the 13-time Premier League champions, who lie sixth in the table, while Arsenal are unbeaten since the opening day of the season and sit just two points off leaders Liverpool. With this seasons title race set to be one of the tightest in years, former Liverpool manager Souness believes the Gunners can send a message to their title rivals with a victory at United.  This Saturday sees Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger resume their rivalry as Manchester Utd host Arsenal live on Sky Sports Im not sure they will win it but if they were to get a result at Old Trafford tomorrow, it would go a long way to setting down a marker, he told Sky Sports News HQ.I dont see a great difference between this Arsenal team and other teams from the last decade. If you sit back off them, they will pass you to death and score more than one goal against you and embarrass you. Arsenal 1-1 Tottenham The two managers dont like each other very much and the players will be very much aware of that. Deon Cain Jersey.

If they go to Old Trafford and get a result then they can say to people that this might just be their year at long last.Despite their strong start to the season, Souness has questioned if Arsenal can show the right qualities needed to win the title for the first time since 2004. Have they got the real metal when push comes to shove when the games get a bit meaty and the league gets a bit tight towards the end?, the Sky Sports pundit added. Swansea 1-3 Manchester Utd Have they got that in the squad with the real characters, the ones that will pull people through the darker moments? Im still not convinced at that.Arsene constantly talks about the character in the team and they have got to start showing it.
