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.

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.

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 […]

The NFL offered the New York Jets an explanation and possibly mea culpa. Likely neither would sit too well with Jets coach Robert Saleh. Brian Costello of the New York Post reported Wednesday that the NFL told the Jets that a key penalty against them in a 30-10 loss to the Dallas Cowboys last week […]

Robert Saleh said the New York Jets have “acknowledged” their 14-game losing streak against the New England Patriots. But the coach added the Jets are not consumed by it ahead of their Week 3 clash against the Patriots, either. “We gotta’ focus on the moment. I get what’s happened in the past, but looking in […]

Robert Saleh is not pushing the panic button following the New York Jets’ 30-10 loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2. In fact, the Jets coach had a measured take one day after they dropped to 1-1 on the season with a lopsided road loss in Dallas. “Just like last week wasn’t the Super […]

The Dallas Cowboys Week 2 game that was supposed to be an intriguing showdown against old nemesis Aaron Rodgers is no more.

There’s no doubt the New York Jets’ chances of playing in their first Super Bowl since 1969 took a massive hit Monday when Aaron Rodgers sustained a season-ending Achilles injury. As for breaking their 12-season playoff drought, well, that too is going to be more difficult. Make no mistake, they remain a good team. The […]

Robert Saleh is confident we haven’t seen the last of Aaron Rodgers in the NFL after the New York Jets quarterback went down with a season-ending Achilles injury Monday.

Robert Saleh wants nothing to do with the narrative that the New York Jets’ season is over after Aaron Rodgers’ devastating Achilles injury Monday. Saleh confirmed Tuesday that Rodgers “needs surgery” and is “out for the year” after he injured his Achilles in New York’s 22-16 overtime win against the Buffalo Bills. Rodgers sustained the […]

Perhaps Aaron Rodgers could have avoided serious injury Monday if New York Jets coaches had listened to him this summer.

Lost in the hype of Xavier Gipson’s insane game-winning touchdown was New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh’s immediate reaction.

It appears that Breece Hall has no issues sharing carries with Dalvin Cook on the New York Jets this season. In fact, the second-year running back sounds very excited about his team’s backfield timeshare. “Oh, we’re probably going to be the best duo in the league,” Hall said Saturday. The Jets signed Cook, a four-time […]

In exactly one week, the New York Jets will kick off their most highly anticipated season in recent memory. Head coach Robert Saleh is confident the Jets will be ready when they face the beasts of the AFC East, the Buffalo Bills, in a Monday Night Football clash on Sept. 11. And what makes the […]
