FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Jets offensive coordinator John Morton is a listener, something he did two weeks ago when Matt Forte questioned why there wasn’t a bigger commitment to the team’s running game in a loss to the Falcons.
Last week against the Bills — the then-third best rush defense in the league — the Jets ran a season-high 41 times, scored three rushing touchdowns and gained 194 yards in a 34-21 victory.
So as the Jets move forward to Sunday’s game at Tampa Bay, expect Morton to remain an aggressive play caller and to listen if his players suggest changes.
