New York Jets: Gregg Williams has maximized his talent on defense

New York Jets fans haven’t had much to remain optimistic about this year. From off-field drama to on-field struggles, the Jets have secured their place as one of the most inept franchises in the NFL.

But if there is one glimmer of hope in a season ripe with pessimism, it’s been the performance of the team’s defense.

Despite an abundance of injuries, an incompetent offense, and an overall lack of talent, defensive coordinator Gregg Williams has managed to maximize the talent of his players on defense and solidify a true strength for the team.

Williams is in his first year with the Jets as he was brought in to be Adam Gase’s defensive coordinator upon the firing of former head coach Todd Bowles.
