EAST RUTHERFORD.- The coach of the New York Jets in the NFLRobert Saleh, and general manager Joe Douglas will continue to lead the team next season, as expected.
The owner Woody Johnson confirmed to the New York Post on Sunday that he will keep the team’s leaders after a poor season that resulted in the 13th consecutive season without advancing to the playoffs —longest active streak in any American sport.
“My decision is to keep them“Johnson told the newspaper before the duel of the Jets before the Commanders de Washington. “I think we had some positive moves. The team culture improved. The defense improved. The offense needs some pieces.”
Johnson acknowledged that the quarterback’s return Aaron Rodgers The next campaign was a decisive factor. Rodgers, 40, suffered a torn Achilles tendon on the fourth play in his debut with the Jets, who were eliminated from postseason contention with Sunday’s 30-0 loss to Miami
This week, Rodgers fully supported Saleh, Douglas and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett.
“Just maintaining continuity with Aaron and the team we have,” Johnson added to explain his decision. “As I said a year ago, we need a quarterback. We had one quarterback for four plays. Since then we have not been able to replace itIf we have a good quarterback it makes everyone’s job easier. It makes the line better, the receivers better.”
Another year to forget in New York:
Los Jets They were 5-9 before the game against Commanders and the offensive is last in the NFL without Rodgers as their leader.
There were many expectations about what this season could be for the New York team with Rodgers at the helm. The quarterback has established himself as one of the best players on the circuit in recent times and He recently indicated that he has no intention of retiring for now.
