Jets offense, Geno Smith clicking early in training camp practice

The New York Jets are knee-deep in training camp right now, just wrapping up team sessions from their Saturday morning practice.

Reports from today's live practices were incredibly complimentary of the offense, with starting quarterback Geno Smith sticking out as one of the best performers of the day.

The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt went as far as to describe Smith as having a "perfect day" in team drills, with the quarterback completing 11/11 pass attempts for three touchdowns in 11-on-11s, and 4/4 for one touchdown in 7-on-7s.

It's a positive report from those in attendance at One Jets Drive this afternoon, and the chemistry development between veteran quarterback and wide receivers Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell should be music to Jets fans' ears.

New York Jets offense cooking early at training camp

While Smith and the starting offense reportedly had a day on Saturday, the second-team offense and specifically rookie quarterback Cade Klubnik were unable to keep pace with the first team.

"Not as good for Cade Klubnik. Started off the day well but threw two interceptions combined in 11s and 7s. 6/10 in 11 on 11," continued Rosenblatt.

Some of those struggles could be attributed to Klubnik, but there were also reports, this one from Jets content creator Matt O'Leary, that backup center Xavier Newman really struggled.

Surely, Newman can't be attributed to every bad play from Klubnik, but if there's anything to take solace in, it's that the starting offense was cooking, and that's all we'll (hopefully) be seeing on Sundays.

David Bailey takes a step back at New York Jets training camp

The Jets' most recent practice before today was on Thursday morning, and it was affectionately dubbed "David Bailey Day" because of how dominant New York's No. 2 overall pick was against teammate Armand Membou.

Antwan Staley of the New York Daily News reported that had it been a live game, Bailey would've recorded at least three sacks, providing tantalizing excitement about the young pass rusher's potential.

Today, Membou got the better of his teammate. Rosenblatt said the second-year right tackle was "stiflling Bailey a bit."

That's fine, totally not the end of the world. As Robert Saleh always used to say-- iron sharpens iron. Surely each player is going to have their own day throughout the rest of the summer.

In the meantime, Jets fans can salivate over their starting offense looking like a well-oiled machine in padless practice, and hope it continues to carry over into the next phase of training camp.
