When it comes to football players on game day, Pat Shurmur believes they should be seen and not heard.
Monday night reinforced that conviction.
“You might expect my answer when it comes to mics,” he said of players being wired for sound that is then aired on the broadcasts or other outlets. “I’m not fond of them. I think there are things that get said and corrected during the game that should be internal in my opinion.”
The Jets provided a shining example of such a moment when quarterback Sam Darnold said from the sideline that he was “seeing ghosts” against the Patriots defense.
