Pepper Johnson had no choice but to speak, and he made it clear that he wasn’t happy about it.
“I think it’s all a waste of time, but I have to come here. So I’m just fulfilling my obligation,” the Jets defensive line coach told reporters Monday, a week after he blew off questions about his position group.
Johnson admitted coach Todd Bowles had forced him to talk to the media. But he refused to address Bowles’ decision to bench defensive linemen Muhammad Wilkerson and Sheldon Richardson for a quarter against the Dolphins on Nov. 6 for being late to a meeting.
