New England Patriots receiver Julian Edelman has been everywhere the past few days, and now he's chiming in with thoughts about the New York Jets. Edelman has been promoting his new Showtime documentary, dishing on a variety of topics on seemingly every platform.
His most recent stop was with George Willis of the New York Post, who of course asked him about the Jets. The Jets have been criticized for some dysfunction this offseason, but Edelman sounds optimistic about their prospects.
“They’ve got some new coaches and some really dynamic players and a young quarterback,” Edelman said.
“They also have a defense that for some reason does real well against us. People ask me when I’m in New York about the Giants and the Jets. Those teams have always played us well. Now the Jets have Gase and he’s got some blueprints from Miami, where he beat us. It’s going to be a tough matchup,” he continued.
Clearly, the Patriots aren't going to be taking New York lightly next season. As Edelman pointed out, new Jets coach Adam Gase had plenty of success against the Patriots during his time with the Dolphins.
The Jets always go all-out in an attempt to beat their AFC East rivals, which might be why it seems to Edelman that the defense always plays so well against them.
While Edelman was very complimentary, it won't be easy for the Jets in 2019.
They're still a very young team and Sam Darnold is only 22, while the Patriots are coming off yet another Super Bowl win.
