After spraining a ligament in his knee, Mark Sanchez is oficially benched for Sunday's game against the Bucs.
Kellen Clemens will not even make the trip to Tampa
Ryan said about benching Sanchez “It’s just not going to be this week. I have a lot of confidence in Kellen Clemens and I think that instead of delaying this decision, I’m just going to make it now.” Sanchez was not a happy camper about being benched as Ryan said "He's mad as a hornet at me."

It was nice to see Sanchez bounce back though, especially after a dreadful game against the Pats last week.
The defense was lights out today with four interceptions, including a pick six from Darrelle Revis and two interceptions from Kerry Rhodes coming off the bench.They also held the Panthers third ranked run offense to only 65 yards.
Although Kerry Rhodes did have a good performance, [...]
