Jets owner Woody Johnson has ‘unwavering’ confidence in Joe Douglas, Robert Saleh
Jets owner Woody Johnson doesn’t appear too worried about the future of his team after Gang Green’s 1-5 start.
He expressed “unwavering, steadfast confidence” in GM Joe Douglas, Robert Saleh and the rest of the coaching staff at the NFL’s fall meeting, according to the Daily News’ D.J. Bien-Aime.
“This a good group. We will get it right,” Johnson said Tuesday. “Last week was frustrating but now we turn the page and we’re off to the Bengals.”
The Jets have one of the worst records in the league and rank near the bottom in a lot of offensive statistics as well. New York is 32nd in points scored, 31st in yards, 29th in points allowed and 27th in yards allowed. Zach Wilson, who will miss time with a sprained PCL, leads the NFL with nine interceptions alongside Patrick Mahomes.
Despite all of this, Johnson believes in the plan Douglas and Saleh have for his team. Johnson mentioned his conversations with both reinforced his belief in their vision because they want to establish a culture first.
“Just a very young team with a young quarterback – he’s just 22 years old,” Johnson added. “He’s seeing things for the first time like a lot of the quarterbacks now. It’s going to take a lot of time, but I have a lot of confidence in Zach, too.”
