Months into Jets job, Robert Saleh's character-building put to the test

A look at what's happening around the New York Jets:

1. Curses! Crisis management is a big part of every NFL head coach's job, especially the HC of the NYJ. For some reason, bad stuff happens a lot to the Jets. When the Carl Lawson injury news broke Thursday, one ex-Jet texted me: "Maybe that [Joe] Namath curse s--- is real. Geezzz."

Welcome to New York, coach Robert Saleh.

Lawson's season-ending Achilles injury is the first significant downer on Saleh's watch. He knew something bad was coming, because it always comes in the NFL.
