Things are so bad with the New York Jets quarterback position that coach Robert Saleh had to explain there’s nothing nefarious going on with his decision to start Zach Wilson this week against the Las Vegas Raiders. Saleh has been steadfast in his support of the 24-year-old quarterback despite New York’s dismal offensive showing through […]

The New York Jets offense looked abysmal during their 27-6 loss on Monday Night Football to the Los Angeles Chargers. Against a far-from-outstanding Chargers defense, the Jets put up just 270 yards, six points, fumbled three times and went 3-17 on third down conversion attempts. Immediately after the game, the NFL world started pointing fingers […]

The New York Jets are coming off on an embarrassing Monday Night Football loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. But as head coach Robert Saleh looks to remedy New York’s offense woes, he isn’t planning for the Jets to make any major changes. Saleh confirmed that Nathaniel Hackett would reman in his offensive coordinator position, […]

The New York Jets are doing their best to move forward with Zach Wilson as the team’s starting quarterback. An air of uncertainty has hung around the team since star QB Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles early in Week 1. The Jets play the Chargers in Week 9 and several bold predictions have been released. […]

With their offensive line in shambles, Duane Brown could be riding to the New York Jets rescue. The veteran offensive tackle will return to practice this week and begin the 21-day window before he must be activated off IR. Brown started the first two games at left tackle before landing on IR with a hip […]

The New York Jets held on to disgruntled veterans Carl Lawson and Dalvin Cook ahead of the NFL trade deadline Tuesday. So now what? Each player is unhappy with a reduced role with the Jets. And each appeared open to being traded last week. Now, coach Robert Saleh must make it work with Lawson and […]

The New York Jets are desperate for help on their injury-depleted offensive line. But coach Robert Saleh doesn’t envision help to arrive from the NFL trade deadline. The Jets are down five offensive lineman, including their top three centers. Connor McGovern and Wes Schweitzer are the latest casualties, each lineman injured in the Jets’ 13-10 […]

The New York Jets’ recent trade of Mecole Hardman appears to have had less to do with the veteran wide receiver and more about an unheralded young player earning more playing time. Coach Robert Saleh revealed Monday that rookie Xavier Gipson’s emergence forced the Jets hand in the decision to trade Hardman to the Kansas […]

Despite losing Aaron Rodgers four plays into the season with a torn Achilles, the New York Jets find themselves 3-3 at the bye, right in the middle of the AFC playoff race. That’s pretty incredible. Even more incredible will be if Rodgers is able to follow through on a miracle rehab and be able to […]

Consider New York Jets ownership impressed with Aaron Rodgers’ accelerated recovery from Achilles surgery. “He is superhuman,” Jets vice chairman Christopher Johnson told the New York Post at the NFL Owners’ Meetings on Tuesday. Johnson’s comment came two days after Rodgers walked on to the MetLife Stadium field without crutches or boot on his foot, […]

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh is taking a step back with his words. The coach made some fiery comments after his team got a huge upset win over the Philadelphia Eagles last Sunday. Following the game, Saleh used the word “embarrassed” when describing what his defense was doing to opposing quarterbacks throughout the […]

The possibility that Aaron Rodgers somehow could return to the New York Jets before the 2023 season ends is picking up steam. And Jets coach Robert Saleh is getting caught up in the excitement. Less than five weeks after surgery to repair a torn Achilles, Rodgers was walking without crutches or even a boot on […]

In the lead up to Week 6’s Philadelphia Eagles-New York Jets meeting, much had been made about the history between these two teams. The Eagles entered the meeting with a perfect 12-0 record versus Gang Green. The first win came in 1973, six years before Jets head coach Robert Saleh was born. Still, Saleh was […]

Robert Saleh was clearly feeling it after the New York Jets stunned the Philadelphia Eagles 20-14 at MetLife Stadium on Sunday. So much so, that he called out Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts when praising the Jets defense. In fact, without naming names, Saleh called out Hurts, Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen and Russell Wilson. “I thought […]

Sounds like it’s going to be a real lovefest when the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Jets face off in New Jersey on Sunday. When asked what the key to containing explosive Jets running back Breece Hall will be, Eagles defensive tackle Fletcher Cox had a cheeky answer. “We gotta go kiss him 11 times, […]

Mecole Hardman hasn’t asked the New York Jets for a trade. But the underused wide receiver made it clear Wednesday that there’s one thing he absolutely wants. “I just want to play, get on the field and do some things, whether it’s here or somewhere else,” Hardman said. Mecole Hardman said he just wants to […]

Robert Saleh knows only one way for the New York Jets to defend against the running of Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles’ “Tush Push” quarterback sneak. Let’s just say it’s going to involve the entire Jets defense to dissuade Hurts from running the ball in any fashion. “If the quarterback carries the ball, we’ve […]

The New York Giants and New York Jets are both staring down the specter of a season without the playoffs. Daboll, the 2022 NFL Coach of the Year, witnessed his Giants soundly defeated by the Miami Dolphins by a score of 31-16 this past weekend. Former 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh and the Jets beat […]

Robert Saleh understood exactly how important the New York Jets win in Week 5 against the Denver Broncos was for Nathaniel Hackett. So, the Jets coach made sure to reward their offensive coordinator after a 31-21 victory Sunday. Saleh presented Hackett with a game ball after the Jets rolled up 407 yards in total offense […]

For the second straight season, New York Jets offensive lineman Alijah Vera-Tucker sustained an injury against the Denver Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High. And the Jets are hoping that this one won’t be as serious as what happened last season. Vera-Tucker exited a 31-21 victory Sunday late in the first half with a […]

Aaron Rodgers is not ruling out a return to the New York Jets from Achilles surgery before the 2023 NFL season concludes. While that is a major long shot, it could lead to a fascinating scenario with the Jets’ quarterback position. For Rodgers to even consider risking an early return from such a major injury, […]

The Kansas City Chiefs-New York Jets game featured some controversy toward the end of the game when Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner was called for holding on the same play his teammate Michael Carter II intercepted the ball. The holding call was not only crucial because it negated an interception which would have given the Jets […]

New York Jets running back Breece Hall complained only a couple of weeks ago about his lack of usage in the offense. After all, the team was just being cautious as they eased him back into things after recovering from an ACL tear. Well, Hall is now ready to fly. Head coach Robert Saleh said […]

New York Jets fans aren’t happy with Tiki Barber working in the broadcast booth for their Week 5 clash against the Denver Broncos. Tiki Barber will call the game together with Andrew Catalon and former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan. Barber’s inclusion doesn’t sit well with Jets fans. He created a backlash after he made […]

The New York Jets have been left to grapple with the disappointment of a season without Aaron Rodgers for quite some time now, but it hasn’t been all bad news for the Big Apple’s “other” team. Zach Wilson did his best to showcase his skills against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, only to come up […]

Sauce Gardner clapped back at the NFL less than 24 hours after the New York Jets’ controversial 23-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Clearly still irritated by a defensive holding penalty called against him in the final minutes that negated Michael Carter II’s interception of a Patrick Mahomes pass, Gardner’s fuse was ignited by […]

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh expressed his thoughts on the obvious non-holding call against defensive end Jermaine Johnson. The controversy occurred in the fourth quarter of the Jets’ 23-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on SNF. Robert Saleh didn’t delve into specifics when reporters asked him to comment on the issue, per […]

After his season-ending (maybe?) injury in Week 1, Aaron Rodgers was replaced as New York Jets starting quarterback by Zach Wilson. Now, three weeks later he has been replaced as one of New York’s team captains. But Wilson, a captain last season, didn’t get this call. Instead, coach Robert Saleh announced Friday that All-Pro defensive […]

Trevor Siemian didn’t sign with the New York Jets because he saw an opportunity to replace Zach Wilson as the starting quarterback. Instead, he joined the Jets to help Wilson navigate a difficult situation trying to fill the shoes of Aaron Rodgers, who’s out after season-ending Achilles surgery. “Whatever I can do to help him,” […]

Signing veteran quarterback Trevor Siemian was “the best decision” for the New York Jets, according to coach Robert Saleh. Siemian was signed to the Jets practice squad on Tuesday and practiced with the team on Wednesday. Zach Wilson remains the starting quarterback this week against the Kansas City Chiefs and Tim Boyle will be his […]

Robert Saleh handled the grenade tossed by New York Jets legend Joe Namath as delicately as possible Wednesday. But it’s just the latest obstacle for the coach when it comes to starting Zach Wilson at quarterback. Asked for his opinion of Namath’s scathing review of Wilson earlier in the week, Saleh did his best to […]

The day after the New York Jets lost an ugly 15-10 game to the New England Patriots, coach Robert Saleh was bombarded with questions about Zach Wilson. But as he did immediately after the dispiriting defeat, Saleh threw his full support behind the embattled quarterback. “He’s our unquestioned quarterback,” Saleh said Monday. “He’s not the […]

The New York Jets’ losing streak against the New England Patriots persisted until their NFL Week 3 battle this year. Fans were livid because of the Jets’ unimpressive display on the offensive side of the ball. A lot of the blame had to go to Zach Wilson who despite being the secondary quarterback behind an […]

The New York Jets lost again to the New England Patriots. And Zach Wilson was again booed after leading a mostly lifeless offensive attack. But the quarterback had a positive message for Jets fans after the 15-10 Week 3 defeat at MetLife Stadium. “Keep believing, man,” Wilson said postgame. “I truly believe we’ve got the […]

After another terrible performance by the New York Jets’ offense in a 15-10 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 3, coach Robert Saleh confirmed that Zach Wilson will remain the starting quarterback. “Right now, he’s who gives us the best chance to win,” Saleh explained postgame. "Right now, he's who gives us the […]

Apparently, Robert Saleh wasn’t completely truthful about the New York Jets’ plans at left tackle this week against the New England Patriots. After saying it would be “irresponsible” to move Mekhi Becton to left tackle after the massive lineman practiced all week on the right side, it’s been reported that Becton will shift to the […]

The New York Jets are looking to end a 14-game losing streak against the New England Patriots when they meet on Sunday afternoon in Week 3. And Jets coach Robert Saleh is convinced quarterback Zach Wilson has what it takes to lead them to victory. “He’s shown so much progress through the past year,” Robert […]

Aaron Rodgers’ return to the New York Jets could be sooner than later. The star quarterback who’s healing back home in California after Achilles surgery two weeks ago could rejoin the team in New Jersey as early as next week. “Really excited for him to get back here,” Robert Saleh said on Friday. “Really excited […]

The New York Jets have a contingency plan in place if left tackle Duane Brown is unable to play Sunday against the New England Patriots. Though coach Robert Saleh was coy about the plan, he was less so about Mekhi Becton’s role in it. Brown missed his third straight day of practice Friday because of […]
