Avast ye scurvy landlubbers! Cap'n Robert Saleh of the New York Jets hath finally admitted what salty sea dogs hath been shoutin' fer weeks: young Zach Wilson be needin' to up 'is game, arrr!
New York Jets fans have been clamoring for quarterback Zach Wilson to be traded, but head coach Robert Saleh has consistently defended his player during news conferences, despite Wilson's poor performances. However, Saleh recently acknowledged what Jets fans have been saying for weeks – that Wilson needs to play better. Saleh emphasized the importance of confidence and self-belief but admitted that Wilson's performance must improve.This is a departure from Saleh's previous tone, where he defended Wilson following the Jets' loss to the New England Patriots. Saleh praised Wilson's preparation but acknowledged that the results were not showing on the box score. He emphasized that Wilson would remain the team's quarterback as long as he continued to show improvement.
During Sunday's game against the Patriots, Jets fans booed Wilson when the team had a prime opportunity to take the lead but failed to capitalize. Reports have since surfaced about potential locker room tension over Wilson's play since Aaron Rodgers' injury. The Jets' identity is uncertain without Rodgers, and the team is trying to avoid disarray early in the season.
Facing the Kansas City Chiefs, the Jets hope to avoid extending their losing streak to three games. Their defense has shown promise, but Wilson's play will be crucial in determining whether the game remains competitive or turns into a blowout. Saleh, while reluctant to publicly admit it, acknowledges that Wilson needs to improve. The Jets organization is counting on progress starting on Sunday night.
