Brian Costello, New York Post: The Jets have lost 57 games in the last five years, and 35 in the last three. There has been a losing culture in that building for a while. What is your plan for changing that?
Saleh: I understand what has happened in the past. What we do challenge everybody is to really judge us on moving forward, when you look at the plan, and what we have in place in terms of scheme and offense, defense, special teams and the mindset which we are going to do it.
There is an investment that is going to be made to one another — coaches to players, players to coaches, organization to everybody, and understanding the all-gas-no-brake mentality that we are going to have in regards to how we wake up in the morning, rehab, prepare for meetings, how we take the practice field, how we are deliberate in everything we do, will lead to the results you see on Sunday.
It will take time, but everything we do is going to be designed to win championships in the future, so when we talk about all gas, no brake, it’s about waking up in the morning and putting your foot to the pedal. The mindset is to go to bed better than you woke up. That is the mindset we are going to have.
Dennis Waszak, Associated Press: When you left the facility after the in-person interview, at what point did you know this was the place, this was the fit for you?

FIRST DOWN- A lot of potential, but a lot to learn
There is a lyric in an old song by the rock group Chicago that sums up where Zach Wilson is right now:
IN HIS OWN WORDS WITH DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR JEFF ULBRICH - Ulbrich breaks down Jets' defensive personnel
(Marcus Maye) can do it all. I would feel comfortable with him (at free or strong safety). He’s a guy that, to me, he can play deep, he can play the half field, he can play the middle third, he can do that and you feel comfortable with it. I think he’s got range, speed and athleticism. I think he’s got ball skills and instincts to be a deep safety. But I think he’s got enough size and girth and want-to and courage to play in the box. It’ll be fun to utilize all the things that he does. He can cover tight ends; he can cover some of the wide receivers in this league.

Jets hope initiatives will increase winning edge
Aside from adding as many good players as possible to help the Jets improve, coach Robert Saleh and GM Joe Douglas are trying to turn over every stone to find extra ways to give their team a winning edge, and two examples of this were announced over the course of the offseason, with the additions of a game management coach (Matt Burke) and the installation of an Athletic Care and Performance Department. Let’s take a closer look at these two moves and how they might help the Jets:
