On the Jets’ 2019 season …
“Seven and nine, it’s not where we want to be.”
On no finger-pointing …
“I can’t tell you how proud I am of the way that the players, the locker room, the staff, everyone in this building, they stuck together. There was every opportunity to roll over and no one did it. The work ethic, the passion, there was no pointing fingers, guys stayed together.”
On building a football culture …
“The plan is to create the best culture in sports. What do I mean by that? I think the best culture, it’s a self-sustaining entity where professionalism, leadership, it’s transferred from one generation of players to the next. You see that in every great team. Every great team has that culture. That’s what we’re going to try to create here.”
On trade offers for Le’Veon Bell …
“Like I said before, if teams do call, I’m going to listen. How those conversations go, I can’t speak to that, that’s hypothetical. But, when teams call, I will listen.”
On if Jamal Adams is untouchable …

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:
