WFAN’s Joe Benigno wanted to see Jets quarterback Mike White play earlier this season when Joe Flacco was struggling in Zach Wilson’s absence. Obviously, that didn’t happen, and Wilson eventually returned to the starting lineup after rehabbing a knee injury.
However, the primary starter looked awful in Sunday’s loss to New England and threw three interceptions. Benigno’s desire for White has thus returned, and he expressed it Monday morning on the Fan.
“I’ve said this before: you know I wanted the Jets to play Mike White to begin with. They never really gave Mike White a chance…but if you want to tell me White plays against Buffalo this week, I’m in,” Benigno said during his weekly spot on WFAN’s “Tiki and Tierney” midday program.
