Jets owner Woody Johnson
defends embattled quarterback Mark Sanchez's
work ethic and says he thinks "everybody's a little
frustrated" after the team failed to make the
playoffs.
Johnson, appearing on MSNBC on Thursday to
discuss his support of Mitt Romney's presidential
campaign, says a Daily News report in which an
anonymous player said Sanchez was "lazy" is off
base. "He's the first guy in the building every
morning," he said, "and the last guy to leave."
It's the first time Johnson has commented publicly
since Rex Ryan's team finished 8-8 and out of the
postseason for the first time in three years.
"There is frustration," Johnson said, "and that's
what you want." He adds that the Jets have "a lot
of work to do" to turn things around next season.
