Geno Smith of New York Jets booed at team's scrimmage at MetLife Stadium
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- It has been an interception-free training camp for New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith, but that didn't stop the small home crowd at MetLife Stadium from booing him Saturday night after a couple of hiccups in a practice under the lights.
Smith, not a fan favorite after two inconsistent seasons, laughed it off.
"The camera should've zoomed in on me; I had a big smile on my face," he said afterward. "You'd think we were on the road today."
Smith, the Jets' presumptive starter, got off to a slow start before an announced crowd of 10,000-plus. He lost the ball on a strip sack, threw a near-interception and misfired on a miscommunication with his new wide receiver, Brandon Marshall.
The crowd, in midseason form, grew impatient and let him hear about it. The fans didn't seem to care it was only a glorified practice -- game situations, but no live tackling.
