FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich threw himself under the bus, telling reporters the latest loss "falls on my shoulders 100 percent." After that, he worked the locker room at State Farm Stadium, crisscrossing it to shake hands and embrace players after their 31-6 defeat Sunday to the Arizona Cardinals.
Ulbrich, a former NFL linebacker, coaches the way he once played -- with emotion and passion. If dapping up players were a statistical category, the Jets would lead the league. He does it every day, even before practices. Unfortunately for them, the feel-good vibes haven't translated to winning.
