Justin Jefferson very well may be the most talented wide receiver in the NFL. But the New York Jets just may have the right dose of kryptonite to handle the Minnesota Vikings’ Superman this Sunday. Jets coach Robert Saleh thinks highly of his dynamic cornerback pairing of Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed. “I’ll put our […]

The New York Jets bounced back in a big way Sunday. Their 31-10 win against the Chicago Bears was the perfect tonic after a tumultuous week that included a last-second loss to the New England Patriots and the benching of quarterback Zach Wilson. There was no angst Sunday at MetLife Stadium. Mike White led the […]

Mike White had the MetLife Stadium crowd chanting his name during the New York Jets’ 31-10 win against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. But the quarterback and Jets coach Robert Saleh were low key about the new starter’s monster game. “It’s awesome,” White said postgame. “Just going out there playing football with your friends and […]

There are likely many reasons that led the New York Jets to bench Zach Wilson this week. But Jets coach Robert Saleh made it clear there’s one issue that stands out above all others. “There’s an accuracy issue,” Saleh told NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Mike Garofolo. “He’s overthrowing wide-open guys. It’s not about […]

With Mike White set to replace Zach Wilson as the New York Jets starting quarterback on Sunday, head coach Robert Saleh offered some advice for White ahead of the contest, per newsday.com. “He doesn’t need to be anybody but Mike White,” Saleh said. “If you know what your fastball is and you know what your […]

On the day he was benched as the starting quarterback for the New York Jets, Zach Wilson displayed the maturity and accountability that had been lacking and led, in part, to his demotion. Wilson faced reporters and took responsibility for his on- and off-field mistakes. He seemed sincere and willing to put in the work […]

Zach Wilson is being benched by the New York Jets for their Week 12 game Sunday against the Chicago Bears. However, coach Robert Saleh doesn’t believe that spells the end to Wilson’s days as a starting quarterback with the Jets. “Zach’s career here is not over,” Saleh stated emphatically after announcing Mike White would start […]

Zach Wilson will not be the starting quarterback for the New York Jets when they play the Chicago Bears on Sunday.

The New York Jets were undeniably horrible in Week 11, which was when they lost to the New England Patriots on the road, 10-3.

Zach Wilson had another forgettable performance for the New York Jets in Week 11, and it was another blow for the young quarterback in what has been a rather disastrous campaign. Things have gone so bad for Wilson that he now seems to be in danger of losing his spot as New York’s QB1. Wilson […]

Within a span of 21 seconds, the New York Jets went from fighting for first place in the AFC East to landing with a thud in the division cellar. Their 10-3 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday was as brutal a gut punch as a team can take. We’ll break it down and […]

The New York Jets may have a full-on Zach Wilson problem. And it may go beyond his erratic play on the field.

Zach Wilson did not win over his teammates either during or after the New York Jets’ 10-3 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday. Wilson struggled mightily and the Jets produced only 103 total yards and six first downs on offense. Coach Robert Saleh was even critical of the team and said New York’s […]

Quite simply, the New York Jets’ offense stunk Sunday. So much so that head coach Robert Saleh did not pull punches with his evaluation after a 10-3 loss to the New England Patriots. “Dog s***,” Saleh answered when asked how New York’s offense performed.

It appears disgruntled wide receiver Elijah Moore is in a good head space for the New York Jets. If so, the timing couldn’t be better. The Jets can move into first place in the AFC East if they defeat the New England Patriots on Sunday. Moore apparently had a change in attitude last week when […]

Robert Saleh believes it’s time for Zach Wilson’s critics to set the New York Jets quarterback free.

By winning six of nine games before their bye week, the New York Jets have put themselves in position to secure a berth in the NFL playoffs. This is a heady position for the Jets, who last reached the playoffs in the 2010 season. In fact, the Jets control their own destiny. If the season […]

Joe Flacco understood why he was demoted the first time this season by the New York Jets. But the second time? Not so much.

Zach Wilson hasn’t looked the part of a star quarterback recently for the New York Jets. But coach Robert Saleh explained Wednesday why he believes in the 23-year-old. “We’ve still got a lot of faith in Zach and he’s going to continue to have improvement,” Saleh stated. “For sure, you want to see dramatic improvement […]

Robert Saleh had a perfectly good explanation why Elijah Moore missed New York Jets practice Friday.

It was an excused absence. However, shortly […]
