Saving Pennington

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- With victory apparently out of reach, the Jets have decided to protect QB Chad Pennington, replacing him with second-year man Kellen Clemens.
Clemens was a second-round draft choice in 2006 out of Oregon, where he ranked fifth in the nation in total offense in 2005.
Clemens played in just two games last year and threw only one pass -- an incompletion against Jacksonville. He was, however, sacked four times -- twice each by the Jags and the Buffalo Bills.
