The tension is developing within the New York Jets organization.
On Friday, protective organizer Gregg Williams took a veiled shot at coach Adam Gases offense, suggesting the defensive struggles arent completely the fault of the defense.
The 0-5 Jets, who deal with the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, are allowing 32.2 points per video game, worse than every group except the Dallas Cowboys.
” Its not a great number– and a lot of its not all defensively,” Williams said after Fridays practice. “Its points on the board and weve got to do an excellent task of that, and how you do that is make them kick more field objectives, got to do a better task in field-position-type things.
” As you see, the scoring is up in the league, but it still makes me ill,” he stated.
7 words awaited the air: “A lot of its not all defensively.” When asked what he suggested by that, Williams turned puzzling.
” You d need to figure it out,” he stated, ending his video call with press reporters.
The embattled Gase wasnt available to comment, as he already had actually spoken with reporters.
Williams most likely was referring to the fact that the offense was accountable for 12 points allowed– 2 Sam Darnold interceptions returned for goals in a Week 3 loss to the Indianapolis Colts.
The offense also has actually inconvenienced on the defense by balancing just 15 points per video game and ranking near the bottom of the league in total backyards and time of ownership.
However Williams system hasnt fared better, yielding 394 yards per game and ranking last in third-down defense. The defense also has been plagued by undisciplined play. The Jets have devoted 21 defensive charges, second-most in the league. They lead the league in roughing-the-passer penalties (seven).
” We have actually been put in some unfortunate situations as far as field position,” security Bradley McDougald said.
” At the end of the day, our task is to head out there and prevent points,” he included. “We just got to head out there and make more plays.”
This has actually been a turbulent week for the Jets, who launched running back LeVeon Bell after he clashed with Gase for more than a year and grumbled about his role.
Gase has been tight-lipped since Bells ouster. He decreased to comment Friday when asked about Bell signing with the Kansas City Chiefs.
“Focusing on Miami, male,” he said.
Williams unit hasnt fared much better, yielding 394 yards per game and ranking last in third-down defense. The defense also has been afflicted by undisciplined play. The Jets have devoted 21 protective charges, second-most in the league. They lead the league in roughing-the-passer penalties (seven).
