Mehta: Texts from Fitzpatrick hit mark with Jet receivers

Newborn Eric Thomas Decker II was probably slobbering, sleeping or screaming when the text message popped into his dad’s phone on a recent day off.

Ryan Fitzpatrick’s pursuit of perfection is an around-the-clock operation that includes texting video clips to Eric Decker and Brandon Marshall whenever an idea pops into his brain.

“Any time, any day,” Marshall told the Daily News with a smile. “It’s all a test.”

Fitzpatrick’s mastery of Chan Gailey’s offense has prompted impromptu texts to his top two pass-catching weapons as part of his new-age mind-meld that he hopes will give the Jets an edge on game days.
