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 […]

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. The New York Jets still boast a talented roster, however, and they’ll visit AT&T Stadium Sunday afternoon with hopes of spoiling the Cowboys‘ fast start to the 2023 season. From Zach Wilson to […]

Robert Saleh sounded encouraged about the season-ending Achilles surgery Aaron Rodgers had Wednesday, and the New York Jets coach can’t wait for the future Hall of Famer to be back around the team. “From everything we understand, everything went great. He’s in great spirits,” Saleh explained Friday. “I’m not going to speak for him, but […]

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. Saleh told reporters Wednesday that he’s not spoken with Rodgers about the 39-year-old’s future. But that didn’t stop the Jets coach from weighing in with an […]

After all the hype surrounding the New York Jets this season when they traded for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, hopes and dreams for Jets fans came crumbling down after Rodgers went down with a torn achilles on their first drive of the year. Rodgers will miss the entire season, and the Jets will turn over the […]

There was a collective set of groans coming out of MetLife Stadium last night as Aaron Rodgers went down to the ground. The biggest fear, the one that streamlines all the way from NFL coach to fan, came true last night, as Rodgers, one of the sports’ star players, went down with a season-ending Achilles […]

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. Rodgers expressed concern to coaches about play calls involving cut-blocks, according to The Athletic’s Zack Rosenblatt and Dianna Russini. “Aaron Rodgers had expressed to Jets coaches that he doesn’t like the play-calls involving the cut-blocks […]
