CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The beginning of the Robert Saleh and Zach Wilson era was All Carolina and Not nearly enough Jets.
Saleh has preached the Jets’ mantra would be All Gas and No Brake. But the first-time NFL head coach also said this young team would need time to grow, develop and jell. Saleh wasn’t kidding.
The Jets’ offensive line looked overmatched and had Wilson on the run from pass rushers from the very first series of the game. Wilson was sacked six times in the Jets’ 19-14 loss to their former quarterback Sam Darnold and the Carolina Panthers Sunday afternoon at Bank of America Field.
