What we learned ...
Brett Favre still has a cannon: In his first snap under center with the New York Jets, Favre unleashed a bullet pass to Jericho Cotchery for an 11-yard gain. He finished the game by giving Jets fans everything they were hoping for, completing 5 of 6 passes for 48 yards and a touchdown. He left after two series of work.
Jets backups need to work on their receiving skills: Reserve QB Kellen Clemens was only 5-for-12, but was hurt by several dropped passes. Of his seven incompletions, six of them were the result of a drop. Clemens was not flawless either, however, fumbling the ball twice (the Jets did recover both of them).
Rookie WR Devin Thomas has a ways to go: The second-round pick out of Michigan State missed the first two preseason games with a hamstring injury and just returned to practice this week. In his debut, he committed a costly special teams penalty, got cut down shy of the 20-yard-line on a kickoff and failed to come down with a pair of sideline throws.
It's going to be tough to cut RB Marcus Mason: The Redskins' fourth-string rusher has been extremely impressive so far in the preseason. With Clinton Portis and Ladell Betts getting limited carries, Mason has had plenty of opportunities and he has taken advantage of those chances. After rushing for 178 yards through the first two games, he added 75 more against the Jets.
