Injuries
Any defense of Gase begins with New York’s poor luck with injuries in 2019.
So far this season, the Jets have lost Avery Williamson, C.J. Mosley, Sam Darnold, Quinnen Williams, Henry Anderson, Neville Hewitt, Blake Cashman, Trumaine Johnson, Brian Winters, Kelechi Osemele, Chris Herndon, Brian Winters and Kelvin Beachum either for the year or an extended period of time. How exactly is Gase supposed to win with a bunch of backups on the field on a weekly basis?
Yes, good coaches adjust and get the job done regardless of personnel. With that being said, it would be foolish to ignore the rash of injuries that have hampered Gase in 2019.
