DETROIT – The new $ 72.5 million Jets man left something to be desired Monday night.
Trumaine Johnson has been signed to be a half closed corner. Instead, Johnson was a stain on an otherwise strong secondary for the Jains' 17-17 win stretches on the Detroit Lions at Ford Field.
"I left parts there that I obviously can not take back," Johnson said. "It's the good thing about this game, though – you can watch it and you can fix it next week."
11 absurd statistics of Jets' victory
Corrections will have to come on big games in the middle.
Johnson was twice victimized by Lions receiver Kenny Golladay. The first time, Golladay beat him for 25 yards in the second quarter. The second, Golladay, left him in his wake for a 26-yard run that allowed the Lions to reach their third touchdown in the third quarter.
The Jets did not expect any of these games against Johnson, which is supposed to be the key element that propels high school into the NFL elite.
He showed some of that potential by taking a Matthew Stafford passage between the two hiccups. But Johnson's newest arch-nemesis, Golladay, has ensured that good vibrations do not last long by unleashing a vicious blow and recovering the next fumble.
The blow also eliminated Johnson from the game for some time, while doctors removed him from the field for the remainder of the second quarter to assess a possible concussion.
"It was a great game call – you saw the receiver get confused with Jamal (Adams) and Stafford kicked me off," Johnson said. "I was able to make a game. I would have liked to be able to hold the ball, but as I said, it was a good game."
Johnson's interception was one of three interceptions by the secondary Jets; Adams and Morris Claiborne were also victims of Stafford.
So while the seventh year veteran was not in love with his own game, he was delighted with the work of his entourage – especially security, Doug Middleton, who replaced injured Marcus Maye.
"Next Philosophy," said Johnson. "Our coaches preach this every day."
