As the Jets try to get a new offensive coordinator, a new quarterback and three new wide receivers on the same page with their returning playmakers …
And sort out three position battles on the offensive line … and wait to see when running back Breece Hall will return from injury … and try to sign defensive tackle Quinnen Williams to a contract extension so that he doesn’t skip the start of training camp … and teach starter Jamien Sherwood a new linebacker position …
Internal comfort stems from a secondary that was among the best in the league last season and offers the much-needed stability that could allow the Jets to have enough early-season success to buy time for other pieces to gel.
“Everyone’s mindset is, ‘Last year is last year,’” senior defensive assistant and cornerbacks coach Tony Oden said. “What they write on social media is different. When they come in this building, work on winning today. Win this meeting. Once you win this meeting, win this play. Once you win this play, win this [practice] period. We don’t even let [ego] things in our building. It definitely doesn’t come into our room. It’s not something we talk about a lot. We just do it. We breathe it. We live it.”
