New York Jets coach Rex Ryan says backup quarterback Tim Tebow will take snaps only with the second-team offense during the team's three-day minicamp. Mark Sanchez, whom the team has repeatedly insisted is the Jets' undisputed starter, will run the first-string offense throughout the practices. Ryan, who spoke before the Jets' first minicamp session Tuesday, eliminated any early suspense or speculation about whether Tebow could make a potential run at Sanchez's starting job. Tebow, acquired from Denver in March, is expected to serve in a variety of roles for the Jets this season, including running the team's wildcat-style offense and serving as a punt protector on special teams.

This is probably a football-ignorant question, but can they have both Tebow and Sanchez on the field at the same time? Make it unclear who's going to actually throw the ball?
Listening to a Rex Ryan interview today it sure sounds like Tebow will be replacing Brad Smith but will pass more
I'm not sure they can, because of an obscure rule that states that only one person can be wired with sound in their helmet, on the offense this is always the quarterback. I imagine that can put Tebow and Sanchez in at the same time as long as he doesn't have a helmet wired for sound. BTW, these helmets have a green dot on the back of them so the refs can identify them.
