The jets quartback said it is not worried despite launching multiple interceptions during practices
FLORHAM PARK — The quarterback of the New York Jets, Justin FieldsHe said he is not worried. Chief coach Aaron Glenn agreed. It's too soon to worry, they said.
Maybe yes, but the offensive headed by Justin Fields is not giving them to Jets Many reasons to get excited in the training camp. This Tuesday, Justin Fields He had difficulties for the third consecutive training, launching two interceptions in team exercises and one in training of 7 against 7.
New field marshal, new offensive, the same as always, so far. The Jets They have been among the 10 worst offensive at points scored for nine consecutive seasons.
“In part I am me, in part it is because the ball falls,” he said Justin Fields After training. “They are simple things.
“Our boys have enough talent to do the job. When we have the days we don't want to have, it's about how we answer. Days like this, one day we didn't want to have, they are a great opportunity to see how we will respond on Thursday (in the next training).”
Justin Fieldswho signed a two -year contract and 40 million dollars as a free agent to replace Aaron Rodgers, completed nine of 16 passes on Tuesday. Sometimes, he retained the ball too long, a nightmare of previous seasons, which resulted in at least three catches.
In a period, starting in its own yard 1, the offensive led by Justin Fields He had only 10 men in the field for the first play. In three of the next five plays there were two false exits and an incomplete pass.
To be fair, Justin Fields He is learning his fourth offensive system in five seasons, so it was inevitable that he had difficulty adapting. He only has a dynamic player at his disposal: the open receiver Garrett Wilson.
Another key player, the closed wing Mason Taylor, is out for a sprain in the ankle, Glenn announced on Tuesday. The second round selected from LSU was discarded for the first preseason game against the Green Bay Packers on Saturday night. It is likely to be absent several weeks.
Glenn has not announced his alignment for the Packers game, but his field marshal would like to play.
“I think we at least need to see the field in all games,” he said Justin Fields About the headlines. “I think that would be good for our team, I think it would be good for Tanner (Engstrand, the offensive coordinator) and it would be good for me.
“I know some offensive players who stay out all the preseason. I don't think that is our case, simply because it is a new team, a new offensive and things like that. This is how I feel about it.”
Los Jets They want to be a runner team, taking advantage of their deep backfield as well as their young and talented offensive line, but they must develop something that resembles an air attack to unbalance the rival defensive. In the last three practices, Justin Fields only completed 15 of 42 shipments.
“It doesn't worry me because it is soon,” Glenn said. “I am thinking about week 1, right? We have a lot of time to get to that point and, with the type of players we have, I know that everyone will react and to achieve it. So I am not worried at all.”
But Glenn has an increasing list of injured. In addition to Mason Taylor, the alternate field marshal Tyrod Taylor lost his second consecutive training and is being evaluated by a knee injury. Glenn said he is sure that it is not serious.
Taylor y Justin Fields They are the only quartbacks experienced in the template. The others are Adrian Martinez and the rookie Brady Cook.
“We all know that he is an older player and, obviously, when you reach that point, there is wear,” Glenn said about Tyrod Taylor, 35. “We want to make sure to attend it to be ready for the season … I don't see it as something in the long term. I don't just want to point it out now, but I'm sure it's not.”
