FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — For the second time this season, the Jets’ defensive line was called out. After the Jets’ Week 2 loss to the Raiders, the line was called out by coach Todd Bowles for allowing 370 rushing yards in the first two games of the season.
Defensive coordinator Kacy Rodgers noted that the Jets’ run defense ranks 29th in the NFL and he made sure the defensive line knew about it.
“That’s not up to our standards being ranked 29th in the league,” defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson said. “We got challecned this week by coach Rodgers coming up to the D-line telling us where we’re ranked and we got to handle that [and] execute our jobs as far as stopping the run.
