With the media on hand to watch the New York Jets get down to business during Thursday's OTA session, the duel between Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow was shoved under the electron microscope -- again.
We've been here before. We've warned you not to read into this. Monitoring completion percentage on the practice field in June is a dangerous game, but here we are -- sucked back in. And the picture isn't pretty:
Practice ending: Putting it kindly, the defense dominated the offense. Not a good day for Sanchez (2 INTs) or Tebow. #Jets

Cimini chronicled Sanchez's first interception to defensive back Kyle Wilson and his second to safety Yeremiah Bell.
Tebow had troubles of his own, but poured water on any sense of conflict between the quarterbacks: "I think we just have a great relationship and I think we both want to get better as football players, as quarterbacks, and find a way to help this team win football games. That's what it's about."
Not on Thursday. Tebow and Sanchez started out 0-for-4 with a pair of sacks before Sanchez completed a pass to receiver Santonio Holmes. Both quarterbacks struggled on a day belonging to the defense:
Jets offense looks terrible today, overwhelmed by blitzing. Sparano in ornery mood. #Jets

Rex Ryan found a way to spin the madness, telling reporters his defense has the look of a "special" group, saying it's the "deepest we've been."
Ryan, historically, isn't one to overstate the matter. We'll take his word on this.
