WR Stephen Hill caught two touchdowns passes from Mark Sanchez in this NFL debut.
What did Mark Sanchez think of the rookie’s debut?
“He’s still got a long way to go, but he sure did a heck of a job, going up and catching the ball—and then the run after the catch to score,” Sanchez said. A great day for him, but he couldn’t do it without JK (Jeremy Kerley), without Chaz (Schilens) getting the crucial catch there in the two-minute (drill), Jeff Cumberland getting in the mix, Bilal Powell catching the ball, and then Santonio on some big third-down conversions – one late in the game to keep us on the field and then one early in the game to set up a touchdown later on. It was that entire receiving group, Coach Lal did a great job.”
