The Jets have a decision to make that will directly effect rookie quarterback Zach Wilson.

Will offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur call plays from the field or the coaches’ box?

LaFleur has been on the sideline during the first two preseason games, which has allowed Wilson to come off and talk to him directly. Wilson likes that. But he said he would be comfortable either way.

"I would love Mike down there, but I don’t think it would necessarily hurt me in any way for him to be up there," Wilson said.
