Despite toying with the idea of giving up play-calling duties, Adam Gase will be his team’s offensive shot-caller for the foreseeable future, as first reported by NFL Network’s Kim Jones. Gase confirmed this when speaking with the media on Wednesday.
Gase mentioned that everything would be on the table as far as the offense following the Jets’ 30-10 loss in Week 5. Despite his comments, he’s retained himself as the team’s play-caller. New York’s head coach discussed the idea with his staff, but he said they all agreed that it would be a good idea for him to continue to call plays, per North Jersey’s Andy Vasquez.
Under Gase’s direction this season, the Jets’ offense is averaging just 15 points per game. Through five games, the team has only scored over 17 points once. Gang Green is 32nd in scoring, 32nd in passing, 31st in total yards, 32nd in first downs and 31st in touchdowns scored.
While Gase and his staff have concluded that he’s the best man for the job, the numbers certainly don’t point to that being the case.
