New York Jets OC Jeremy Bates frustrated with headsets, takes shot at Patriots

Jeremy Bates is frustrated and he’s not afraid about letting the world know. Well, he’s expressing his frustration while not making any excuses.

After practice in Florham Park, New Jersey on Thursday afternoon, the New York Jets offensive coordinator told reporters that he’s experienced technical difficulties with his headset in each of the first three games of the brand new season.

“It’s been three games,” Bates proclaimed. “I’m not making excuses, but three times our headsets failed us. Not throwing anyone under the bus, but the button stopped working. We’ve tried to correct it. Obviously, we understand that that can happen anytime, especially in New England (laughter).
