New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh is walking back his comments about his defense embarrassing the "gauntlet of quarterbacks" it has faced to begin the 2023 campaign.
During an appearance Tuesday on NFL Network's Good Morning Football, Saleh said (h/t NFL Network's Mike Garafolo):
"The word 'embarrassed' was probably not the right choice of words for me at that time, but there's a lot of faith in our defense and [defensive coordinator] Jeff Ulbrich and how good a job he and the defensive staff do in terms of preparing guys every week and just doing everything we can to make quarterbacks' lives hell.
