FLORHAM PARK N.J. New York Jets Robert Saleh, coach, is not sticking to his word. Zach WilsonThis week, there could be a quarterback change.
Three weeks after declaring Wilson the starter for the rest of the season, barring injury to Wilson, Saleh wasn’t committal Monday about whether Wilson will be the second-overall pick Sunday against the Chicago Bears.
This was the first hint that Wilson’s status at No. 1 was in doubt. 1 quarterback.
Saleh stated, “We’re keeping all the cards on the table over these next few days.”
He was asked if Wilson would be the starter for this week. He replied “Not now, not until i’m done evaluating everything.”
The coaches informed Wilson about his status, effectively leaving him in limbo.
Mike White Next on the depth chart is Joe FlaccoWilson, who was injured in preseason, started the first three games. Saleh did not rule out either quarterback being a possible replacement.
Wilson is at 5-2 with the starter but he was poor in the two previous games — both losses. New England Patriots. In Sunday’s 10-3 loss, he completed just nine of 22 passes and rushed for a career low 77 yards. His comments, which went viral, showed that he was unwilling to take responsibility. Wilson answered the question, “No.” No.”
Sources claim that the remarks upset some defensive players.
Saleh was clearly unhappy with Wilson’s postgame news conference.
“Is it a mistake?” Sure,” Saleh said. Is it something Saleh will be more comfortable with? Absolutely.”
Wilson must understand that “it’s our responsibility to take the bullets, and own them,” he said. He also stated that it was not indicative of his feelings about his team or his fellow teammates.
Sources say that Wilson’s poor performance was brought up in Monday’s meeting. Saleh claimed that all performances are discussed in team meetings, both good and bad.
Although the Jets are still within the playoff hunt at 6-4, Wilson is not producing as much. Flacco hasn’t been on the field since Week 3. Wilson has four touchdown passes to his name, one less than Flacco.
Saleh stated that every position will be evaluated, not just the quarterback.
Saleh stated that when you have 100 yards of offense (actually, it was 103), it is unacceptable. It’s not NFL football.
After the game, Saleh was furious and said that the offensive performance in half-time (2 total yards) was “dog’s —.””. Saleh claimed Monday that he doesn’t have plans to replace Mike LaFleur as playcaller.
Wilson received a lot of criticism after throwing three interceptions on Oct. 30 against Patriots. But he responded with a solid performance in an upset. Buffalo Bills.
However, Sunday’s performance was a significant step back. Receivers Garrett Wilson And Denzel Mims They were clearly frustrated throughout the game and Garrett Wilson ranted to reporters afterward, calling the offense a’sorry’ unit, without mentioning Zach Wilson.
Saleh stated that he believes the team has a championship-quality defensive system and that they have great players on offense. “From a schematic perspective, I believe we’re right there alongside everyone else. I’m trying to evaluate and see if there are any ways we can improve this offense.
Wilson ranks 23rd among qualified passers in total QBR (45.2), 34th among 34 passers in completion percentage (55.6). The three players who spoke to the media Monday expressed their faith in Wilson, as expected. Lake Tomlinson, a guard, said that Wilson has high confidence. He’s our quarterback. What is your meaning?
