FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - Geno Smith knows many fans have already moved on from him.With the New York Jets sitting at a dreadful 2-11, the race is on for the No. 1 draft pick — and possibly Marcus Mariota or Jameis Winston coming to town as the teams new quarterback.To some fans, the Jets game at Tennessee on Sunday offers the franchise a chance to lose and have a better shot at that top selection — a notion that offends Smith.Yeah, a little bit, but I cant worry about it, Smith said Wednesday. Im just going out there and do what I have to do to win the game. I cant make any decisions on anything other than that. So yeah, I just focus on doing my job.At a charity event in Manhattan on Tuesday, Smith told Newsday that he has shown flashes of being a Pro Bowl-caliber quarterback during his mostly shaky two NFL seasons.The statement likely made many fans roll their eyes, especially considering Smith has thrown 33 interceptions — including eight returned for TDs — and is 9-17 as a starter.When I was talking about it, I was speaking on consistency, Smith clarified Wednesday. That was my main key, is that I feel like I have the tools and I have what it takes to be that, but obviously, it takes consistency and Ive been very inconsistent in my two years here.It remains to be seen whether that lack of consistency will cost Smith his job as the teams starting quarterback — or even a spot on the roster. With the futures of coach Rex Ryan and general manager John Idzik uncertain, a new regime could have its own plans.Ryan smiled when he was asked about Smiths declaration that he has shown flashes of Pro Bowl-type play.Yeah, Ryan said with a pause. And then, he hasnt.Ryan went on to praise Smiths confidence and work ethic, saying he wants his players to strive to be among the leagues best. He also insisted that Smith is working toward being a consistent performer.Still, the Pro Bowl seems a long way off for a player who has a 68.0 quarterback rating with eight touchdown passes and 12 interceptions during a season many believed Smith would be better.Ryan said its really unfair to say whether Smith can be a top quarterback in the league because the sample size is still too small to make a definitive judgment.He does have a lot of God-given ability, Ryan said. He can move and he has a good arm. He has the arm talent to play in this league, without question, and now he is working on those other things.Wide receiver Percy Harvin came to the Jets in October from Seattle, where he played with Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson and won a Super Bowl. Harvin has seen enough from Smith in two months to make a positive evaluation.I definitely think Genos going to be a starter — a great starter — in this league, Harvin said. I think he definitely has all the tools, the work ethic, so if (the Pro Bowl) is his goal, I dont see why he cant reach it.It wasnt long ago — about 17 months — that Jets fans were clamouring for Smith to start as a rookie over Mark Sanchez. Smith, a second-round pick, was the new guy in town and Sanchez was old news. Smith saw what Sanchez went through as far as the critics before being lost for the year in the preseason with a shoulder injury.It was tough on Mark, it was tough on all of us, Smith said. It was tough on me. Im not going to sit here and say Im immune to it. But my demeanour is to always work harder and stand firm and believe in myself, so Im not going to ever waver in no way.Smith has suddenly found himself in the same situation Sanchez was in. He has no idea what his football future holds, but he has three more games to end the season on a good note — as he did last season.The only thing that I can try to do, Smith said, is those that dont believe in me, try to win them over by playing well.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Jeff Burroughs Rangers Jersey . - Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Jason Babin is now a free agent.

AUBURN, Ala. -- Jeremy Johnson passed for 243 yards and two touchdowns in the first half and Nick Marshall returned from suspension with a 19-yard scoring run to lift No. 6 Auburn to a 45-21 opening victory over Arkansas on Saturday. The Tigers scored the final 24 points after the Razorbacks managed to force a halftime deadlock. The game was delayed 1 hour, 28 minutes due to lightning in the area during the fourth quarter. Marshall, who led Auburn to the SEC title last season and the national championship game, started the second half after serving his punishment for getting ticketed in July for possession of a small amount of marijuana. Junior college transfer Dhaquille Williams supplied the most electrifying performance with nine catches for 154 yards in his debut, including a 62-yard bomb and an 18-yard touchdown from Johnson. Cameron Artis-Payne rushed for a career-high 177 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries after replacing Heisman Trophy finalist Tre Mason. Jermaine Whitehead returned an interception off Brandon Allen 33 yards for a touchdown. Allen completed 18 of 31 passes for 175 yards and two touchdowns, five days after his truck was burned early Monday morning. Alex Collins ran for 68 yards on 10 carries. Auburn outgained the Razorbacks 595-328, allowing just 61 yards in the second half after a shaky start defensively. The Tigers, who led the nation in rushing last season, gained 302 yards on the ground after managing just 68 by halftime.dddddddddddd Marshall watched from the sidelines until warming up on an exercise bike before going into the game. His touchdown run was the only time Arkansas gave him room to run. The potential Heisman Trophy contender was just 4-of-6 passing for 50 yards while gaining 19 yards on eight carries, counting a sack. Marshall darted up the middle for a touchdown after coming into the game to start the second half, giving the Tigers a 28-21 lead. He also had a 28-yard third-down completion to a leaping Melvin Ray, who made a one-handed grab. Arkansas stopped Auburn on the next two drives to stay within striking distance. Then Robenson Therezie hit Allen as he threw to force a badly underthrown ball. Whitehead picked it off and raced for the end zone. Therezie had been cleared to play Friday night after unspecified questions about his eligibility. Before that play, Allen had been mostly holding his own after struggling most of last season with shoulder problems. He led the Razorbacks back from a 21-7 deficit with two second quarter touchdown drives. Jonathan Williams 6-yard run capped a 93-yard march and tied the game at 21-21 with 4:28 left. Auburns offence didnt really miss a beat with Johnson, who completed his first eight passes. He threw for a 49-yard touchdown to Ray, a former minor league baseball player, and an 18-yarder to Williams. ' ' '
