Rex Ryan is pleased with Greg McElroy's debut for the New York Jets, but refuses to say if he will start against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Rex Ryan has been explaining his decision to replace starting quarterback Mark Sanchez with third-string man Greg McElroy.

McElroy led the New York Jets to victory over the Arizona Cardinals, after Sanchez had struggled in the first three quarters.

The head coach told reporters: "It's just something I sensed and felt. When you're around this game long enough, you get that feeling that 'I've seen enough and it's time to make that change'.

"Mark is a great competitor. He understood that it was my call. He's a man. Nobody wants to leave the game, but I just felt it was right for our team.

"Right now I feel comfortable with Greg. I like some of the things he does. The first thing you say about him is that he's smart and tough. He did a good job today, as did all of his teammates."

Regular backup quarterback Tim Tebow missed the game with a rib injury.

Ryan refused to say who would be the starting quarterback in next Sunday's game at the Jacksonville Jaguars.
