Joe Douglas gets it. He flat-out understands. The man who so confidently strutted his booming resume into Florham Park early June recently demonstrated just how clear-minded and sound his team-building ways are presented.
Now that Ryan Kalil is the man Sam Darnold will touch on the backside so many times this season (not as frequently in Adam Gase’s shotgun-loaded offense), Douglas’s early June message has officially commenced itself in action.
“It starts with the quarterback and both lines.”
The quarterback is, of course, in-house. At least the franchise (and its many diehard fans) believes he’s here.
