Transcript: Jets Head Coach Press Conference





How does the loss this week prepare you for the next game?

The loss motivates the squad to get back to the drawing board. If we want to compete these season we cannot let the losses pile up and the team knows that.









What is the status of Israel Abanikanda and when is he set to return?

Israel is out unfortunately for 4 more weeks. He has been a great player for us, we just wish he wouldn't take these 4-6 week long vacations every season.








What were some of the contributing factors to the loss this week?

We gave up two long touchdowns on broken tackles at the LOS. The tackling led to multiple scores and set us back. Need to clean that up on defense moving forward.












How do you see the competition level in the AFC East currently?

We expect it to be a top division but some of the teams have started off slow. The Patriots look to fight for the 1 seed again as the Bills and Jets hope to dethrone them.
