Not just are the New York Jets playing badly on Sundays, but they are not practicing with a sense of urgency, according to 2 protective players.
In recent days, safety Bradley McDougald and linebacker Avery Williamson have questioned the groups practice habits. Whether intended that method or not, their comments will be viewed as criticism of coach Adam Gase, who has come under fire after an 0-2 start.
” It all returns to practice. Weve had some sluggish practices, and it associates to the game,” McDougald told SNY TV after Sundays 31-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. “We require to have a total, complete week of simply excellent practices, and I do not think weve had that.
” The faster we realize that and sharpen in on how important practice is and coming out and winning at practice, then it will translate to the games on Sunday.”
2 RelatedWilliamson, during his weekly spot Tuesday on WFAN radio, agreed with McDougalds evaluation.
” Sometimes, in practice, guys are missing out on deals with or were refraining from doing things right,” Williamson stated. “We havent been as crisp as we ought to be at times. … We dont start fast at practice.”
Very same for the games.
The Jets have tracked at halftime by the exact same rating, 21-3, in both losses. Versus the 49ers, they allowed an 80-yard goal work on the very first play from scrimmage, the start of another poor efficiency by the defense.
” Until we control at practice on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Sunday is going to be a toss-up,” stated McDougald, acquired in the July trade that sent out security Jamal Adams to the Seattle Seahawks.
Gase said he received a text Tuesday from Williamson, who obviously wished to clarify his radio remarks. The coach said he wasnt familiar with the remarks.
” Until [the PR department] informs me, I most likely wont understand due to the fact that I dont even open internet web browsers today,” Gase joked on Wednesday.
The players opinions are somewhat surprising since defensive organizer Gregg Williams is known for his intense practices. Gase disagreed with their belief.
” Nobody stated anything throughout the week,” he stated. “I seemed like we had really good tempo to practice. Often a private guy, if he desires to change something, we discuss it each week. Its not like its not an open forum. If somebody does not like the method something is going, we can quickly speak up.”
The Jets travel to the Indianapolis Colts (1-1) on Sunday, looking to avoid their 2nd consecutive 0-3 start. Gase is 7-11 as the Jets coach, with 9 of the losses by a minimum of 10 points.
Gase said that if the gamers are dissatisfied with the practice strength, now is the time to change it.
” If thats the feeling they have, we have a possibility to truly ramp it up and make sure were doing what we need to do in people and get the pace,” he said. “I havent always felt that.”
Weve had some slow practices, and it correlates to the video game,” McDougald told SNY Television after Sundays 31-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. “We require to have a complete, complete week of simply excellent practices, and I do not believe weve had that.
” Sometimes, in practice, guys are missing takes on or were not doing things right,” Williamson stated. … We do not begin fast at practice.”
“I felt like we had actually good pace to practice.
