Jets ‘not worried at all’ even as Justin Fields’ passing struggles deepen
NY Post
The Jets are insisting it’s still too early to be concerned about the state of their passing game.
Nevertheless, Justin Fields and the offense put forth a third straight practice on Tuesday in which they badly struggled throughout.
Fields did finish above a 50 percent completion rate Tuesday, hitting 9-of-16 passes, but he completed nothing downfield and threw two interceptions, with a third coming in 7-on-7 drills.
The offense also took multiple false start penalties — another recurring issue in camp — and struggled to get lined up at one point.
“It’s all right,” Fields said afterward. “Some of it’s me, some of it’s dropping the ball, some of it’s just plain and simple things. It’s practice. I’ve been a part of games where we have a red zone Friday, we run a play three times, we don’t hit it one time. Then Sunday comes and we hit it the first time we run it.
“Our guys are talented enough to get the job done. And when we don’t have the days we want to have, it’s just about how we respond.”
