Because Gardner set the bar ridiculously high in his first two NFL seasons, this stretch stands out.
The Jets’ two-time All-Pro cornerback has drawn four penalties this season — all within the past three games — for illegal contact, holding and pass interference , according to NFL Penalties.com. “We’re going to play aggressive. We don’t apologize for that,” cornerbacks coach Tony Oden said after Thursday’s practice. “Never want to grab, pull or tug. Sometimes it happens in games. We don’t want our guys to stop being aggressive. We just want to be smart aggressive.
Gardner has allowed 12 catches for 185 yards and a touchdown this season, according to Pro Football Focus, but he has gone 31 straight games without an interception. Six-time Pro Bowler Davante Adams “has changed the culture within the offense” in a week with the Jets, receivers coach Shawn Jefferson said.
“This kid is a game-changer,” Jefferson said. “Showing guys how it is supposed to be done. He’s not out there yelling at anybody. Just showing guys, ‘This is the way we practice.” What are those mixed emotions like?
