When talking about the New York Jets the first thing usually talked about isn't the receivers, but coach Adam Gase is extremely high on the group. Gase points out that he likes a receivers group that can be versatile, and that's what he feels the Jets have.
Via Brian Costello of the New York Post:
“Well, the way I look at it is, we want with all the different skill guys, you want five different guys, you want a basketball team,” Gase said. “You want to be able to make sure the defense can’t just say, ‘Play us like this because they are all the same.’ We want guys that can do different stuff.”
Robby Anderson, Quincy Enunwa, and Jamison Crowder are the Jets' top three receivers and each guy offers something a little different to the team. Gase also loves how the wide receivers are team first and are never concerned about individual stats.
“I love working with that group because there is unselfishness there,” Gase said. “You never hear any of those guys complaining about, ‘Hey can I get more targets, can I get more catches.’ They just keep working, which makes it really easy when you are a play caller.”
Expectations are higher for the Jets this season and the receiver's job might be a little easier. With Le'Veon Bell in the backfield, it's going to open up more room outside for Anderson, Enunwa, and Crowder. If they can keep the team first philosophy, maybe the Jets could make a run back to the playoffs.
