Jets defense has big goal: Keep ‘screen’ door closed
In the past two weeks, the Jets’ defense limited Giants star Saquon Barkley to 1 yard rushing, then held Washington to three points through three quarters.
Not bad, right?
Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams reminded his unit all week, however, that he was unhappy with its sloppy coverage on the screen pass Redskins running back Derrius Guice broke for a 45-yard touchdown with 10 minutes remaining in the Jets’ 34-17 win last Sunday.
“We’ve repped a good bit of screen drills, which meant for us, a lot of running. So that kind of thing doesn’t happen again,” linebacker Jordan Jenkins said after Friday’s practice. “The screen, Gregg has taken care of that. Trust me.”
