The experiment of Dowell Loggains as the Jets’ primary play-caller looks to be over.
According to ESPN’s Chris Mortensen, Adam Gase is expected to be the Jets’ primary play-caller on Sunday against the Dolphins. Loggains has been calling the offensive plays for the last four games.
Gase handed the play-calling duties over to Loggains in Week 7 against the Bills with hopes of giving the Jets offense a spark. The first two games with Loggains as the play-caller didn’t change much. The Jets were held to just 19 total points, all of which came in the first half.
However, over the Jets’ last two games, their offense has looked a lot better. They’ve become more aggressive by taking more deep shots down the field and it has translated to points. New York has scored 27 and 28 points over its last two games, respectively.
With Gase and Sam Darnold’s future in New York in limbo, it’s clear that Gase wants to have control of the offense over the final six games. This is possibly Gase’s last chance to prove that he can have success with Darnold under center.
It will help that Darnold has all of his starting skill players Sunday for the first time this season. However, the Jets will be down their starting left guard, starting right tackle and backup right tackle.
