Q: How are you doing picking up the playbook?
Wilson: Coach (Robert) Saleh always uses a good analogy of, if you’re watching TV and eating a bowl of cereal, then learning the plays, formations (and) alignments is kind of like eating that bowl of cereal. You’re not really sitting there thinking about eating, lifting the spoon up to your mouth, and chewing and all that kind of stuff. It just naturally happens. So, for me it’s working on understanding the formations so it’s super quick; understanding the alignments, where the receiver should be.
Q: Coach Saleh said you are relentless” …
Wilson: That’s nice of him, of course. I really just have a strong passion for this game. I don’t want to let my teammates down, so I’m just going to make sure I can do everything in my control to make sure I’m prepared.
Q: What do you like about this offense?
Wilson: What I like? I don’t know if there’s much I don’t like. I think we got some amazing coaches that put us in some great situations. Some very intelligent guys. One play complements another and another and then another. It keeps the defense on their toes. And they’re always thinking something looks the same, then all of a sudden, we throw something else at them. So, I think it’s just the ability to be confusing for a defense and be able to do a lot of things.

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:
