Jamal Adams, the Jets' safety team, shot his coaches indirectly on Tuesday during a radio interview.
Adams said the Jets defense was not prepared for quarterback Browns Baker Mayfield in the 21-17 Thursday loss to Cleveland. Instead, they focused solely on Browns' starter, Tyrod Taylor, who was eliminated in the second quarter.
"We had to be open to knowing that Baker might come in, but we were prepared for Tyrod," Adams said on the WFAN "CMB" show during his weekly appearance. "When Baker came in, we obviously did not have a game plan for him. But hat to him. He came in, he definitely played lights. They picked up speed and we just could not get them back. "
Although Adams did not openly call his coaches, it would be up to them to prepare the players for Mayfield, which could have been lost in the short week of preparation.
There is no doubt that Mayfield changed the game. The Jets led 14-0 and dominated Taylor, who was held at 19 yards passing 14 attempts before suffering a concussion in the second quarter and leaving the game.
Mayfield, the No. 1 pick in April, immediately found success and finished 17 of 23 passes for 201 yards in the win. It was the Browns' first win in two seasons.
Before the match, Adams told an ESPN reporter that the Jets were hoping to face Mayfield. He had his wish, but he burned the Jets.
Adams said the Jets did not even realize that Taylor had been hurt.
"We did not see it happen. I'm just honest, "he said. "Tyrod goes down. I did not discover that Tyrod had a concussion before the match. I thought they had it out. Injuries occur and the next man. We were not prepared for him.
"They are very similar, they can move in the pocket and throw the ball. At the same time, we maintained our game plan. Baker came in and he played phenomenally. Hat to him.
A report released on Tuesday said the NFL had apologized privately to the Jets for penalizing CB Morris Claiborne during a two-point conversion attempt on Thursday night, but a subsequent report said such excuses did not occur. had not been presented.
Pro Football Talk stated that the NFL stood near the call, which held Claiborne and that the Browns had a second chance to get the two-point conversion and tie the game at 14-14. . Pro Football Talk quoted a source as saying no such excuses were made.
The Jets placed WR ArDarius Stewart on the injured list. The third round pick of 2017 was cut last week, but added to the practice team after clearing waivers. He must have suffered an injury in Monday's practice and his season is now over. The Jets again signed WR Deontay Burnett to the team.
