Well this was a day I did not want to open your email David, though of course open it I did. Your comments about ZW were spot on. I suspect he lost a huge chunk of that locker room yesterday and not just because of his play on the field. Words and body language are critical to leadership and taking responsibility. ZW failed miserably on both counts in that presser. There are times when you say, "I failed, I screwed up, I let this team, my team, down. That was unacceptable and I need to do a better job." Full stop.
Here is my question: How does Mac Jones look faily adequate (not only yesterday) when they dont have the talent on the offense the Jets have. They don't even have a offensive coordinator ? So not only on the QB the whole coachng staff. If Henrik Lundquist can go to the bench for a bad outing Zack Wilson can to. There are 7 games left we are going to hear, Well after 20 games we know we don't have a QB - i highly doubt 7 more is going to prove we do. Im off of Wilon as well. Bad pick.
Your summary of Zach is very fair and accurate. It's one thing to miss a receiver while under pressure. It's another thing to miss wide open receivers when you have time. Coach Salah needs to sit Zach down and explain that a leader takes the heat for poor (I wish his performance rose to the level of poor. They might have won then.) performance and man up. Zach is obviously a spoiled brat, and the team needs to help him grow up.
Spot on! I have been lamenting the decision to draft Wilson over Fields from day one and you are not alone in feeling this way. Wilson is incapable of being the QB we need. It's just a fact. He needs to be pulled for the rest of the team! Saleh needs to open his eyes and man up with the tough decision to move on.
Where are those guys that were defending Wilson now？ has he run out of chances yet?
Saleh is in a tough position because the defense has professed much faster than anticipated. We went from dead last to a top 5 unit this year and the coaches have to deal with the expectations for making the playoffs. Zach is obviously not ready and the coaches are making him a game manager. The entire regime is ties to ZW like it or not and this season should be finding out what we have in our QB. Sink or swim. Throw the whole play book at him. In college, his best throws were downfield bombs so let him do that. It can’t be any worse than what we’ve been watching. As for the accountability part, I’m not too worried. Maybe he’s putting on a tough act for the NY media, maybe he’s saying something else in the locker room. I will be judging him on how he performs on the field and not on how he talks to the media
Your warning to "Zack Wilson guys" has to have been a waste of print. As far as I can tell, there's only one. Unfortunately that one is the Coach.
It's time for Joe Douglass to have a sit down with the Coach. He shares responsibility for drafting Wilson on the one hand but also has put together a superb supporting cast and he has the authority to demand the change that so obviously needs to be made.
Also there were two blocks in the back, one far up field on the punt run back.
I've said here and elsewhere that Zach is still immature, mentally and physically. At this point it appears that the mentally part is far more glaring.
This situation has to be approached in an objective, business-like manner. Zach needs to sit. We don't know what we have w/ White (Bengals game notwithstanding), but the D deserves to make playoff bonuses if they can.
In the off-season make hard runs at Lamar and Garrapalo and then play the "it's an open competition" game in camp.
Sanchez was coddled, too. With Mark Brunell as his backup, there was never a chance that he was going to be faced with extended bench time if he didn't play well. Sanchez handled it better, though, and played well at times even with the defense and running game leading the way. Depending on what happens the rest of the year, I'd be willing to give Zach a chance, but there has to be another QB that could provide competition. Someone along the lines of Gardner Minshew. If he does not play well, then Derek Carr or Jimmy G.

was there any update on Fant or Mitchell playing?
We're playing our 6th best OT and maybe 5th best OG? Can't blame JD for the depth
OG AVT, Laken, Herbig, LDT... mullet emergency backup C/OG
OT Becton, Fant, AVT, Brown, Mitchell,... Practice squad pickup turned starter

How did the OL play? It looks like a jailbreak in a bunch of plays. That RT looked like he predictably struggled vs the best edge in football
Did we try to chip him with TE's?
Love the mullet but he's not good. LDT is likely much better at RG
That's was so frustrating!
