Former WR Edwards: Jets ‘in shambles’

Published

on

Former New York Jets wide receiver Braylon Edwards told SNY on Thursday that the team is “in shambles.”

The Jets are off to a 1-4 start.

“I don’t see a good situation,” Edwards said. “I see a team in shambles. I see a team that’s trying to figure out their GM standpoint, their coaching standpoint. And that’s where it starts. To get everything right on the field it has to start with the GM agreeing with the coach, getting the right players in there for the coach to be successful and I don’t see that. I feel as though (general manager John) Idzik is holding something back and he’s not providing Rex (Ryan) with the talent that he needs to win ballgames.”

The Jets are about $24 million but failed to sign a significant free agent cornerback to address that need.

Ryan managed to save his job after the team performed above expectations at 8-8 last year. It was speculated after last season that Idzik would hire his own hand-picked coach to guide the team but owner Woody Johnson insisted on keeping Ryan.

Edwards, who was cut by the Jets before the 2013 season, blamed part of the Jets’ problems on Ryan.

“I feel like Rex has had so much success, from Baltimore to the Jets early on in his tenure there, that now that it’s not going his way he does not know how to dial it back and simplify,” Edwards said. “He wants things to work his way so he can get the credit for it.”

Ryan responded Friday to Edwards’ criticism by saying: “I have to say that’s probably not a real accurate statement, because it’s not about a scheme. You can look at us, we have one thousand defenses if you looked at us. So I would disagree there. It’s player over scheme. We’ll always do what matches our abilities, the talent of our players. Always have. Usually I can agree with Braylon on a lot of things, but I’m 100 percent in disagreement with this one.”

Ryan also joked about Edwards’ comments by asking: “Is he trying to get a full-time TV job or something?”
