Saleh disagreed with the opinion expressed by some that Zach Wilson was selfish and called his own number to be the hero.
Jets coach Robert Saleh took the blame on Monday for what he called a “miscommunication” with the coaching staff not telling rookie quarterback Zach Wilson to hand the ball to Braxton Berrios instead of running the sneak, which is what Wilson’s read on the play called for him to do. Wilson was selfish and called his own number to be the hero.
“I don’t know about that one,” Saleh said. “He’s a rookie, his head’s barely above water with regards to the scheme, he’s still in a pleasing motive of his career, in terms of just doing things the way it’s drawn up. If you’re talking Year 3, Year 4 and he does something like that, then I guess you can start, maybe.“But as a rookie who’s still trying to figure this league out and trying to figure what he can and can’t get away with and how to take control over things and all that.
