New York Jets owner Woody Johnson didn’t mince words when speaking to reporters about his team’s 0-7 start at the NFL league meetings in New York City on Tuesday. Johnson deflected blame from his head coach, instead pointing the finger squarely at one reason for the Jets’ disastrous season.
That reason was Justin Fields. Johnson verbally eviscerated Fields, essentially blaming him for all of his team's problems in an eight-minute back-and-forth with reporters at the event.
Johnson insisted it was basically impossible for any head coach to succeed with the quarterback play the Jets have received, throwing Fields under the bus while shielding both the coaching staff and roster from further criticism.
