Lack of spring practices might slow maturation

Q: How did the virtual offseason program go?

Gase: I think it’s the most meeting time that any of us as coaches ever had with our players. Usually when you hit Phase Two, you get on the field and try to slam in (the classroom teaching). So this was a great way for us to be able to really slow things down, show examples, go through our installs very, very detailed. And when there was any kind of gray (areas), guys were able to ask questions and take their time, to be able to make sure they understand.

The key to the whole thing is going to be in training camp to be able to hit the ground running and take that information they acquired this offseason.

Leberfeld: This extensive classroom work will be great for some players who will really benefit once the team hits the field. However, there are other players who learn better on the field as opposed to learning it in the classroom. Some need extra one-on-one tutoring from assistant coaches on the field to retain information. They just learn better that way.

Once the Jets hit the field for training camp, Gase and his assistant coaches will find out who truly benefitted from the virtual offseason program, and which players learn better from doing rather than talking.

Q: How much did the lack of spring practices hurt the development of rookie receiver Denzel Mims?

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:
