New York Jets Robert Saleh wants to know if his cornerbacks are made of glass
New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh spoke with the Jets beat writers and provided some insight on the team’s pulse. Aside from eating almonds for his preworkout meal (I do the same), here are some news, notes, and quotes from today’s virtual presser.
9/6/2021
Coach Saleh on WR Jamison Crowder COVID-19 positive test:
“It was isolated to him, didn't have any close contacts. So it’s strictly to him.”
Coach Saleh on WR Jamison Crowder’s availability for Sunday’s game:
“It’s day-to-day. Because he’s vaccinated. Once he clears symptoms and has two negative tests, he can be back in.”
I wrote up a clear outline on NFL related COVID-19 protocols and rules. You can read that in the article above.
Coach Saleh on LT Mekhi Becton’s (concussion) availability for Sunday’s game:
“I believe he will be officially cleared tomorrow. He’s at practice, he’s going through everything, and then he will be officially cleared for game day tomorrow.”
Coach Saleh on RB LaMical Perine:
“He’s day-to-day, hoping that we can him by the opener.”
Coach Saleh on Carolina Panthers WR Robby Anderson:
“He’s got tremendous vertical speed. Obviously you got to know where he is, because of his ability to blow the top off the coverage and wins one-on-ones, especially vertically.”
Coach Saleh on new addition DE Shaq Lawson:
“This dude, when he gets comfortable, is going to bring so much juice and energy to this defense. He’s a ball of energy.”
Coach Saleh on second-round pick WR Elijah Moore:
He’s so deliberate in the way he goes about his business. He’s kind of like an old soul, he’s been here five or six seasons already. He doesn’t make the same mistake twice. He's a quick learner. He’s always trying to find an edge.”
Coach Saleh on how long of a leash he will give his starting CBs on Sunday:
“It all depends on the look in his eyes. If it looks like he’s under control, and he’s made a couple mistakes, and he can recapture the moment than we’re gonna roll with him as long as we can. But I’ve also seen the flip side where they got that glass look in their eye, and there like, “Holy cow! What the heck is going on? It’s going too fast.”
