Douglas: ‘I have to do a better job'
NY Jets Confidential|December 2020
On Nov. 3, Jets GM Joe Douglas held a press conference at the mid-season mark. Here are some excerpts from this 25-minute press briefing that was held online via Zoom:
Douglas: ‘I have to do a better job'

Connor Hughes, The Athletic: Joe, how would you assess Sam (Darnold)’s play this season, and what do you think of his future with this team in 2021 and beyond?

Joe Douglas: Sam’s an ultra-talented quarterback. I really can’t say enough about his grit and his toughness. Ultimately, I have to do a better job of putting talent around Sam, and we have to develop some kind of continuity within the offense moving forward.

The silver lining is there are eight games left, and we have guys coming back healthy, and can do that over the last eight weeks of the season.

Al Iannazzone, Newsday: How do you assess the job Adam (Gase) has done?

Douglas: Again, I’m going to say, this is not all on Adam. I have to do a better job. I have to do a better job of surrounding him with better players and weapons. We’re in this together. I’m going through and trying to think of everything I can do to help Adam, and the goal is to get this fixed together.

Hughes: Do you think you made a mistake letting Robby Anderson walk in free agency?

Douglas: Yeah, Connor, I thought about Robby a lot. There are thousands of decisions that cross your desk during the year. I go back and look at what I could have done better in that specific situation. I thought our guys did a fantastic job of analyzing every position group’s market value leading up to free agency last year.

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:
