Smith completed 4-of-6 passes for 33 yards in Thursday's preseason opener against the Colts, adding one carry for 10 yards. Smith got the start and played two drives, leading the Jets to three points on a 51-yard field goal. Michael Vick led Gang Green to a touchdown on his only drive with the first-team offense, but the drive was largely fueled by penalties, and the Colts were playing backups on defense at that point. The Jets clearly want things to work out with Smith, so it would probably take a drastic performance -- on either his part or Vick's -- for the second-year pro to lose his starting gig. While Smith is clearly capable of turning in an awful game, neither quarterback did anything that would make a significant difference Thursday night.
