Jets general manager Joe Douglas looks at the end of 2019 and sees a beginning.
Douglas acknowledged that finishing 7-9 is “not where we want to be,” but praised the players and coaches for the second half of the season, when they went 6-2 after a 1-7 start.
“Going 6-2, that’s not luck. You don’t do that,” Douglas said. “It takes a group of guys that became galvanized and stuck together. … The plan moving forward is that is a launchpad for us. We’re going to take the success, the way we were able to win close games, to learn how to win close games, take that moving forward and build off that.
