The New York Jets are navigating a challenging early season, highlighted by a recent trade that saw John Franklin-Myers depart for the Denver Broncos after the acquisition of Haason Reddick. This roster shift comes on the heels of a disappointing performance against the San Francisco 49ers, where defensive lapses led to heavy rushing yards allowed.
Defensive players, including Jermaine Johnson, are addressing accountability following the game, hoping to rectify their mistakes in upcoming matches. Meanwhile, questions persist about Reddick's holdout and the overall effectiveness of recent trades, particularly after losing significant contributors like Bryce Huff to free agency.
Head coach Robert Saleh is focused on improving the Jets' dismal record in short-week games, while quarterback Aaron Rodgers champions the use of pre-snap motion in their offensive scheme. Players like Allen Lazard are starting to find rhythm, crediting an adjustment in strategy with the arrival of Rodgers.
