Both the New York Jets (2-2) and Garrett Wilson have both downplayed his comments from earlier this week that created a stir.
Ahead of facing the Minnesota Vikings (4-0) in London and in the midst of Davante Adams trade speculation, Wilson turned some heads with this one.
“I don’t think we do a lot of different stuff to be honest,” Wilson said to ESPN radio.”When I watch football on Sundays and I see a lot of teams who mix it up and stuff like that. I don’t feel like we do that. I think we know our identity.”
Some took that as controversial. Jets offensive coordinator Nate Hackett did not.
“We want to make Garrett the focal point of the offense. We want to be sure that we’re targeting him and kind of setting things up for him,” Hackett said via video conference. “I think it’s been great to see those guys around him come up with big plays. If something’s not open, we never want to force the ball.”
As for Wilson, he took to social media to defend his comments.
But it wasn’t that Wilson backed it up and confirmed he was being critical of New York’s offense. Rather, Wilson pointed out the long-winded question he was responding to.
The wideout believed if everyone heard that followed by his answer, then it’s easy to understand where he’s coming from.
