for quality offensive minds (which will become more pronounced as NFL head-coaching jobs are filled with offensive coaches) and the extent to which NFL teams are embracing college offensive concepts.However it plays out, many are surprised by Swann’s decision. He’s believed to be the first college A.D

Sam Darnold threw an interception and showed some of the growing pains of a rookie quarterback in his first preseason start for the New York Jets David Montgomery Jersey , who lost to the Washington Redskins 15-13 on a last-second field goal Thursday night.Darnold was 8 of 11 for 62 yards, but took two sacks and had a couple of throws batted out of the air, including the pass that was intercepted . It was a far cry from the impressive debut in which the third overall pick went 13 of 18 for 96 yards and looked like the front-runner to win New York’s starting QB competition.The former USC star played the entire first half before giving way to veteran Teddy Bridgewater. The former Vikings quarterback had his own inconsistences, going 10 of 15 for 127 yards, a touchdown and an interception.Redskins starter Alex Smith was 4 of 6 for 48 yards in one series, his only work so far in the preseason.Jets coach Todd Bowles has said he needs to evaluate Darnold the most because he’s plenty familiar with incumbent starter Josh McCown and knows about Bridgewater. Darnold showed flashes for the Jets (1-1), going 5 of 5 on his second drive, but was sacked by Preston Smith to force a field goal on a night full of them.Washington kicker Dustin Hopkins made all five of his field-goal attempts, including a 40-yarder as time expired to win it for the Redskins (1-1).INJURIESJets: CB Jeremy Clark left with a hamstring injury. … LT Kelvin Beachum (foot) Riley Ridley Jersey , RG Brian Winters (abdominal), RB Isaiah Crowell (concussion) and DL Steve McLendon (leg) did not play.Redskins: RB Samaje Perine injured an ankle on his first carry, a 30-yard run , and did not return. … RB Byron Marshall was evaluated for a lower-leg injury. … LT Trent Williams, RB Chris Thompson, WR Maurice Harris, TE Jordan Reed, OT Ty Nsekhe and DL Matt Ioannidis and Phil Taylor were among those nursing or coming off injuries who didn’t dress.REDSKINS RB COMPETITIONAfter second-round pick Derrius Guice’s season ended because of a torn ACL , Rob Kelley was up first to show he deserves to be Washington’s starter. Kelley had seven carries for 17 yards Greedy Williams Jersey , Perine was impressive on his one run before being injured, Marshall had a kick-return fumble that was overturned on video review and Kapri Bibbs made six catches for 47 yards with only 6 yards on the ground.UNDISCIPLINED JETSLinebacker Jordan Jenkins was flagged on the game’s opening drive for roughing the passer against Smith when he drove the QB into the ground. Darron Lee was penalized for a horse-collar tackle on Redskins punt returner Danny Johnson. Then, there was rookie Frankie Luvu, who led with his helmet into Colt McCoy on a more egregious roughing-the-passer violation than what Jenkins had.NATIONAL ANTHEMAll players appeared to stand for the national anthem. Jets players locked arms along the visiting sideline with no one remaining in the locker room.NEXT UPJets: See what more Darnold can do in game action when they face the Giants on Aug. 24.Redskins: Are expected to give Smith more snaps Aug. 24 when they host the Denver Broncos. Lynn Swann has placed Kliff Kingsbury in check. Kingsbury may soon put Swann in checkmate.With Swann, the Athletic Director at USC, blocking Kingsbury from interviewing for head-coaching vacancies with the Jets and Cardinals, Kingsbury may simply resign his position as Trojans offensive coordinator and move on.Per multiple sources, Kingsbury’s contract has a very low buyout. But the buyout never came up because the NFL teams, honoring the strong mandate issued at last month’s ownership meeting Sione Takitaki Jersey , contacted Swann and requested permission to interview Kingsbury. Swann said no, and that was the end of it.But that may not be the end of it. Kingsbury, the former Texas Tech head coach, may simply pay the buyout, walk away, and see what happens with any NFL head-coaching or offensive coordinator opportunities.Kingsbury will undoubtedly find work at least as an offensive coordinator, given the demand for quality offensive minds (which will become more pronounced as NFL head-coaching jobs are filled with offensive coaches) and the extent to which NFL teams are embracing college offensive concepts.However it plays out, many are surprised by Swann’s decision. He’s believed to be the first college A.D. to ever block a coach from interviewing for an NFL head-coaching job, and he may end up having plenty of explaining to do to media Sheldrick Redwine Jersey , boosters, and fans if he loses Kingsbury. Indeed, it’s possible that the Jets and Cardinals may have hired someone other than Kingsbury, which would have resulted in Kingsbury staying at USC.Now, Kingsbury may be gone not long after he arrived.
