Jets cornerbacks deal with success and failure

Related Topics: Morris Claiborne

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — The Jets’ cornerbacks needed short term memories of late. With or without their best corner, Morris Claiborne, this unit has struggled.

And over the next six weeks the Jets will face some elite quarterbacks as they battle for a playoff berth.

“I think it’s just different for certain players,” cornerback Darryl Roberts said of getting over bad plays. “Certain players handle failure and success different ways. If you have a person who plays our position you got to have thick skin, amnesia, forget about the failures; just compete, that’s what I do.”

Sunday it’s Carolina and Cam Newton and the next game it’s Alex Smith and Kansas City.
