FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – Wide receiver Jermaine Kearse expressed frustration with Jets offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates and how he was used within Bates' system.
Kearse’s production dipped dramatically from last year, when he was a featured receiver in former coordinator John Morton’s system. Kearse said “it wasn’t a match” with Bates.
“I felt that I wasn’t a part of it as much,” Kearse said Monday. “I felt I got put on the back burner a little bit, which can happen. For me coming off my best year statistically the year before, I had some very high expectations.
