Jeremy Bates needs a serious wake-up call

Offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates continues to show no creativity when it comes to the offensive playcalling of the New York Jets. Rookie quarterback Sam Darnold thrives in games where he’s able to use play-action effectively thanks to a strong rushing attack. Even though the offensive line is having issues with the ground game, Bates fails to put the offense in a position to succeed and continues to call boring, predictable, and downright boneheaded plays.

In this three-game losing streak, the offense has struggled to score, only putting up a combined 16 points. They can’t keep those chains moving as Bates refuses to use his playmakers wisely.
