The Jets had a Haason Reddick-sized gap of their go rush Monday evening.
San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy confronted little resistance in Monday evening’s 32-19 beatdown, with the Jets tallying only one sack whereas Reddick continues his months-long holdout.
Jets coach Robert Saleh sidestepped a query Tuesday morning about his emotions now that the holdout has prolonged into the season and loomed giant within the defeat, and it appears as if the Jets may once more be with out the previous Eagles linebacker for his or her Week 2 street conflict in opposition to the Titans (0-1).
“No matter how I really feel about it, we’ve received the blokes who’re right here. We’re excited to work with the blokes who’re right here,” Saleh mentioned on a convention name. “I’ll say it once more: As quickly as he walks by way of these doorways, we’ll give him an enormous hug and provides him a playbook and we are able to get rolling.”
It stays to be seen whether or not the Jets will be capable to give Reddick a playbook for Week 2 with the star pass-rusher remaining the one participant to steer clear of his group earlier than Week 1.
The Jets traded a conditional third-round decide to the Eagles to have Reddick primarily change Bryce Huff, however proper now, they only have a gaping gap on their protection.
Reddick desires an extension and is prepared to take a monetary hit in his standoff, accumulating round $5 million in fines for his absences and forfeiting roughly $800,000 for lacking Monday’s recreation.
Saleh didn’t make it appear as if there’s a decision in sight.
Whereas Reddick wouldn’t have helped the run recreation woes, he probably may have boosted a go rush that didn’t place a lot strain on Purdy.
Security Tony Adams registered the one sack, though Saleh credited the 49ers for his or her technique.
“I assumed San Francisco did a extremely good job with their recreation plan as regards to chips on the ends and eliminating the ball in a well timed style,” Saleh mentioned. “I don’t suppose Brock actually held it lengthy sufficient for us to actually have any impact. We had some alternatives, couldn’t wrap him up and convey him down, however credit score to them, they did a very nice job with getting the ball out of his fingers.”
