Following the New York Jets‘ 31-10 victory over the Chicago Bears, the person of the day was quarterback Mike White.
Robert Saleh was asked about White’s aggressiveness and willingness to stretch the field against the Bears compared to his checkdowns against the Bengals last season.
Saleh corrected that impression quickly: “I think where people get confused is—that’s all Cincinnati gave him, and so he just kept taking it. I think Mike is able to process in a way that if that’s what you give him, that’s what he’ll take. He’ll play boring ball with you, he’ll push the ball downfield if he has to, and he’ll make very good decisions with the football and he’ll make them quick.
