Jets defensive end Will McDonald got to the quarterback Saturday, but it resulted in a penalty.
McDonald used a beautiful spin move to get past Commanders tackle Mason Brooks, and he hit quarterback Jeff Driskel just as he released the ball.
The officials threw a flag for a questionable roughing the passer penalty that was wiped out by an offsetting penalty on the Commanders in theScreengrab via X/@NYJetsTFMedia“Me, personally, I don’t think it was a roughing the passer,” McDonald said. “I don’t really care about nobody else’s opinion . That’s the ref. They’ve got to do their job, and I just have to keep playing ball. I was already onto the next play.
Jets coach Robert Saleh said the officials told him McDonald landed on Driskel with all of his body weight, which is illegal.Aaron Rodgers launches footballs at MSG during star-studded surprise ‘Kill Tony’ appearanceThis is a big preseason for McDonald, who was the team’s first-round pick in 2023.Saleh was excited by the performance of second-year cornerback Jarrick Bernard-Converse.
The man they call “JBC” was beaten for a 42-yard reception by Dyami Brown on the first series of the game.“That might be the coolest one from a defensive perspective because he did get hit on that go ball,” Saleh said. “It’s very easy to tank and to get in your own head and play scared. He still played chest to chest. He still played tight coverage. He was still playing his press technique and made a lot of plays on the ball. Really, really proud of JBC and the way he bounced back.
