Jets' Adam Gase Didn't View Pulling Jamal Adams from Browns Game as Benching
New York Jets head coach Adam Gase insisted he didn't bench safety Jamal Adams during Monday's 23-3 loss to the Cleveland Browns.
"I thought he was getting fired up pretty good, and I clicked over [to the defensive coaches] and I was like, 'Hey, we need to be careful here,'" Gase said while explaining why he took Adams off the field late in the fourth quarter, per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. "I was worried that something bad was going to happen, we need him for the next week. They were smart and they pulled him off. I said, 'Just calm him down,' and then we were off the field."
Cimini noted Adams appeared on WFAN radio on Tuesday and said "Yeah, I got benched. They benched me."
