The Daily News' war against Jets rages on, even with top writer banned
NY Jets Confidential|October 2020
The Daily News’ war against the New York Jets continues, even with long-time Jets nemesis Manish Mehta having had his credential revoked by the team in August. The Jets believe they have due cause, and when it comes to credentialing people, it’s entirely up to the team. The Jets can let in whomever they darn well please, and there’s really nowhere to complain, including the league office.
The Daily News' war against Jets rages on, even with top writer banned

But Mehta is still writing and tweeting about the team, even though he’s not allowed at One Jets Drive.

And he had yet another one of his blockblusters, Sept. 3, criticizing the Jets for going with all virtual meetings during training camp.

The headline read, “Jets are NFL’s lone team not conducting in-person meetings.”

The tweet read, “31 NFL teams have in-person meetings between players & coaches. One does not: The Jets.”

After Mehta’s story was published, Daily News reporter Charles McDonald, who is credentialed, took the baton from Mehta and bombarded Gase with questions about having virtual meetings during camp.

McDonald asked coach Adam Gase five questions about this topic during one Zoom press conference. FIVE. One reason McDonald was able to do this is because the Jets don’t call on people for the “next question” on Zoom conferences. Some teams do, some don’t. So a reporter who is so inclined can keep jumping in with questions, as many as desired, as long as he or she is quick on the trigger once the previous answer ends. New York Post sports columnist Mark Cannizzaro is a master at this. He is the Aaron Burr of the press corp. It’s very hard to beat him in a next-question duel.

Here are those five questions, with brief snippets of Gase’s answers (some answers were very long and we don’t want to take up too much space here):

McDonald: Adam, what’s your plan for live meetings during the season? And I was curious, like, why didn’t you guys have in-person meetings during training camp, like other teams around the league?

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:
