FLORHAM PARK, NJ—The coaching points Mike LaFleur dished out to the very coachable (by most accounts) Zach Wilson this week are painfully obvious—for anybody that dug into the film showcasing the New York Jets‘ miserable 25-6 home-opening loss to the New England Patriots.
- Ball security.
- Accepting small victories.
- Quicker decisions via progression.
Wilson’s four interceptions flipped the Jets’ script in such a sudden manner that it felt nearly fictional. From a rookie quarterback battling through horrid offensive line play down in the Carolinas, to the Jets as a whole significantly improving despite their rookie gun-slinger choking it up in his MetLife Stadium debut, no two games could contrast to a heavier degree.
