Jets Q & A: What happened to Spencer Long?

With all of Spencer Long's snapping issues, why did not Todd Bowles take him out of the game sooner?

Bowles said he never considered doing that. He said it was not a performance issue that led to the future of Jets' next-to-last series; it was because Long had gotten worse hampering him all season. Bowles replaced him with Jonotthan Harrison.

The long haze of the game, with many high and low snaps. The play in which Sam Darnold threw a pick-6 started with a high snap. But Darnold did not blame Long, and neither did Bowles.

"We were fine," Bowles said. "We did not play well on offense, period. This is not the thing. We did not execute anything. "

How was Long after the game?

He was extremely frustrated, naturally, and unsure about his status for next week.

Long said he was getting his finger on the drive before he was taken out. These snapping issues have been happening, but this was his worst game. Long got a little testy when a reporter asked him about it.

He said, "I'm going to try my best." I've been trying for the last three weeks. This game's tough. I've been trying to fight and do what's best for the team.

"It's pretty frustrating. This is my career. I take a lot of pride in this. It has not been going way I want it to lately. It's frustrating. "

Did Bowles consider taking out Darnold and putting in Josh McCown for a spark or to change things up?

Bowles said he did not have the worst game of Darnold's career, but he left the door open a little. "Not right now, no," he said.

Darnold threw four interceptions, including three in the fourth quarter, giving him a league-high.

"I do not think he regressed," Bowles said. "He's going to have some bad throws and just can not turn it over."

What was Jermaine Kearse doing when he caught a pass while standing out of bounds on the final drive?

The receiver messed up, and he acknowledged it.

It was second-and-10 at the Jets' 47 with about 50 seconds left. Kearse was opened on the left sideline was out of bounds when Darnold delivered the ball to him. Kearse said he lost track of where he was.

"It's definitely frustrating. especially the one out of bounds, "he said. "That's just bad football by me. It's just bad. "

What happened to the Jets' running game?

It's been nonexistent for three weeks. They did rush for 80 yards, but the Dolphins had allowed 164, 248 and 188 yards the previous three weeks. They've given up more than 100 rushing yards in every game but the two against the Jets.
