Sports are no different than life; sometimes, the jokes just write themselves. Never was that truer than when Robert Saleh and the New York Jets (no strangers to hilarious moments) allowed a pick-six to the Miami Dolphins during their Week 12 loss. In the waning seconds of the first half, the Jets’ newly appointed starting […]

So what did we learn on Friday afternoon? I learned that the NFL struck gold with this Black Friday game, and there’s no reason why we should stop at just one game. Give me a 3 pm game and a 7 pm game and that’s what I call a perfect late-November afternoon. I also learned […]

On Friday afternoon, head coach Robert Saleh and the New York Jets dropped to a disappointing record of 4-7 on the 2023-24 NFL season with a frustrating home loss to their divisional rivals, the Miami Dolphins. Saleh made a switch for this contest at the quarterback position from Zach Wilson to Tim Boyle, but the […]

Not surprisingly, Tim Boyle wasn’t the answer for what ails the New York Jets during their 34-13 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Black Friday. But his failures replacing Zach Wilson at quarterback in Week 12 headline the takeaways from the Jets’ fourth straight loss. Boyle “guided” the Jets to 159 yards of total offense […]

Allen Lazard was one of the top free agent signings by the New York Jets this past offseason. But that didn’t stop coach Robert Saleh from making Lazard a healthy inactive for the Jets’ 34-13 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Black Friday. Despite Lazard’s struggles this season, it was a surprising move considering the […]

Despite another impotent performance by the New York Jets offense in a 34-13 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Black Friday, Nathaniel Hackett will continue to call plays moving forward. Jets coach Robert Saleh confirmed as much postgame after another unimaginative and unsuccessful day at the office for Hackett. However, Saleh seemed stumped when asked […]

When Josh Allen was outgunning Zach Wilson and the Buffalo Bills secondary was just toying with the New York Jets, Robert Saleh had seen enough. He made the call to bench Zach Wilson and put him on the third string. All of this was to keep their postseason hopes alive and hopefully get Aaron Rodgers […]

The New York Jets need all the support they need to keep their postseason hopes alive. Robert Saleh already made the tough call to place Zach Wilson on the third string which means other players can step up. Unfortunately, one notable blow to these hopes was when Mekhi Becton suffered an injury when facing the […]

Zach Wilson was benched, and that was just the start of the lowlights in the New York Jets’ embarrassing 32-6 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 11. Beaten soundly on both sides of the ball, the Jets were as uncompetitive as they’ve been all season. So, the takeaways from their loss Sunday are not […]

On Sunday afternoon, Zach Wilson and the New York Jets dropped to a disappointing 4-6 on the 2023 NFL season with a crushing 32-6 annihilation on the road at the hands of their divisional rivals, the Buffalo Bills. While the Jets were able to keep things (relatively) competitive in the first half, the floodgates opened […]

Something’s got to give when the New York Jets visit the Buffalo Bills in Week 11 on Sunday. The reeling AFC East rivals each badly needs a win to remain relevant in the playoff picture. The Jets (4-5) have lost two in a row after a three-game winning streak. Each defeat was against a mediocre […]

Robert Saleh said the New York Jets are not done making changes with their woeful offense after releasing running back Michael Carter ahead of a Week 11 clash against the Buffalo Bills. “There are (more changes coming),” Saleh said Wednesday in his press conference. “I’m not going to get into it now, but there are.” […]

The way things are going, the New York Jets might need a miracle Aaron Rodgers return from Achilles surgery to save their season. But Jets coach Robert Saleh sounded pretty matter-of-fact when discussing the growing possibility that the Hall of Fame quarterback may be back sometime soon. “Aaron’s a big boy, a grown man,” Saleh […]

The New York Jets don’t appear to be a good bet for a playoff spot this season considering their 4-5 record in the AFC East, but the team has shown it is capable of competing, even with Zach Wilson at the helm instead of star quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The Jets have lost two straight games […]

Robert Saleh said Monday that changes are coming to the woeful New York Jets offense. However, any moves will not include quarterback Zach Wilson nor offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett. But there likely will be personnel changes and schematic tweaks to the Jets offense when they visit the Buffalo Bills in Week 11. With Wilson and […]

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said that there will not be any change at quarterback with Zach Wilson or play caller, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. The Jets fell to 4-5 last night with a 16-12 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, and many are calling for a change from Zach […]

We’re at the point now where you actually have to feel bad for New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson. Of course, I’m sure any New York Jets fans reading along will silently but very quickly retort, “Nah, F that!”. I get it. As a fan of the Chicago Bears, I’m all too familiar with inept […]

Joe Namath has some simple advice for the New York Jets ahead of their Week 10 game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday night: stop beating yourselves and you might have the chance to defeat someone else. “I’d like to see them play the kind of game to give themselves a chance. Don’t do […]

The hits keep coming for the New York Jets’ beleaguered offensive line. Veterans Billy Turner and Duane Brown will not play Sunday when the Jets visit the Las Vegas Raiders. Turner joined the extensive list of walking wounded on the O-Line after breaking a finger in a 27-6 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers last […]

One day after the New York Jets signed Perrion Winfrey to their practice squad, head coach Robert Saleh vouched for the controversial defensive lineman’s character. “He’s not a bad person,” Saleh said Wednesday. “Sometimes players make dumb mistakes … a lot of the stuff he’s been accused of has been wiped clean. He’s a good […]

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 […]
