‘What the Hell Is Going On?’ ESPN’s Damien Woody Blasts ‘Inept’ Jets Following Sloppy Loss to the Broncos
ESPN analyst Damien Woody went off on the New York Jets and head coach Robert Saleh for the team’s “sloppy” 10-9 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
The Jets fell to 2-2 thanks, in large part, so poor execution on the offensive end. As Woody mentioned on Monday’s episode of Get Up, the offense accounted for 10 of the team’s 13 penalties.
According to the former offensive guard, that falls on the head coach.
“You go out there and you commit 13 penalties — 13!” Woody said. “Five pre-snap, 10 offensive penalties! You on the 1-yard line on multiple downs and you didn’t put in your 240-pound rookie running back from the 1-damn-yard line. I mean, what the hell is going on, Robert? And I’m talking Robert Saleh, the head football coach of the New York Jets. This team looks sloppy! They look inept! I mean, what are we doing here? This is supposed to be a game where clearly the Jets are supposed to win this game; and your team can’t stay on damn onside.”
After the game, Saleh explained how the offense has struggled to get used to quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ snap cadence. Although Rodgers has used it throw off defenses and draw penalties throughout his career, Saleh suggested that they use less of that cadence.
Woody was floored by the idea:
This is clearly on coaching, and Aaron Rodgers was freaking right. The cadence has always been like — it’s been a weapon for him. How many times through Aaron Rodgers’ have we seen him use the cadence, draw teams offside, and then, all of a sudden, big play happens? We’ve seen that time and time again with Aaron Rodgers; and then you’re gonna come out in the post-game and say, “Oh, well because our guys can’t stay onside, maybe we shouldn’t use it”?
I can’t even use the word I wanna use right now. B.S.! Figure it out. Aaron Rodgers is absolutely, absolutely right. Maybe if the guys had some discipline and stay their behind onside, maybe Aaron Rodgers could use that weapon to his advantage! I’m so sick of the Jets being undisciplined as a team! It’s been that way since Robert Saleh has been there, and it showed up yesterday against a team starting a freaking rooking quarterback! It’s unacceptable; it’s a bad freaking loss; and I put that strictly on the head coach!
