Sluggish? Slow? Crisp as a well-done noodle?

Jets defensive coordinator Gregg Williams does not agree with these less-than-complimentary assessments of his defensive unit’s practices. Williams, speaking for the first time since a couple of his players questioned the quality of their unit’s preparation, took issue with the notion that the defense isn’t giving 100% in practices.

"We only have — defensively with me — wherever I’ve been, two tempos. And that’s ‘walk through’ and ‘go,’" Williams said Friday.
