Everybody was on the same page<\/a>,\u201d Johnson said, per Cimini. \u201cWe have to be better. We can\u2019t be the reason we lose. That can\u2019t happen. We have too much talent.<\/p>\n\u201cCoach [Aaron Glenn] has had our back as far as how he runs this thing, instilling a certain culture in here. We have to have his back by putting a good product out there. That\u2019s our job. We definitely take full accountability.\u201d<\/p>\n
Johnson is expected to return to the lineup on Sunday after missing three games with an ankle injury.<\/p>\n
Earlier in the week, defensive tackle Quinnen Williams put the blame for the team\u2019s winless start squarely on the defense.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re 0-5 and the defense has been the problem, the reason why we\u2019re 0-5,\u201d Williams said, per Cimini, adding that the Jets have \u201cprobably the worst defense in the league.\u201d<\/p>\n
No one is pointing fingers, just thumbs. Including defensive coordinator Steve Wilks.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything is on me,\u201d Wilks said this week, via Cimini.<\/p>\n
During last week\u2019s loss to the Cowboys, with a 37-22 outcome that looked far more respectable than the lopsided 30-3 margin late in the third quarter, a vibe began to emerge that Glenn could be one-and-done with the Jets. While that\u2019s not likely the case, a win would help. Especially in London, where owner Woody Johnson served as the U.S. ambassador in the first Trump administration.<\/p>\n
Last year, a loss to the Vikings in London sparked the firing of coach Robert Saleh. This year, it would drop the Jets to 0-6. <\/p>\n
The good news is that a pair of objectively winnable games are looming, at home against the Panthers and at Cincinnati. A win in either or both becomes critical to avoid entering the bye at 0-8.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Jets are the first NFL team since turnovers were first tracked in 1933 to start the season…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":217133,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-217132","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217132","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=217132"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217132\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/217133"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=217132"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=217132"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=217132"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
