Among those not wearing a helmet at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, no one other than (perhaps) Adam Gase will be more important to the Jets’ fortunes than Gregg Williams.

Such is the faith supporters and the Jets themselves have in the famously fanatic defensive coordinator, that his mere presence widely is expected to lift his unit to a level not necessarily evident on the depth chart.

We will know soon enough, but in the meantime fans should be happy to know that Williams already has on his game face for the opener against the Bills.
