Joe Benigno didn’t hold anything back when going off on the Jets during his weekly spot with Evan and Tiki.
After a brutal loss to the Steelers that included 24 unanswered points in the second half, Joe was sparing no blame when going through the long list of problems that have Gang Green out to a disastrous 2-5 start.
“What a disgrace,” Joe said to start things off.
One of Joe’s biggest concerns is the struggles of the team’s young stars, as Garrett Wilson has not looked like the bonafide WR1 that many believed he would be even before Aaron Rodgers arrived. Now, he is making costly drops like the one he had on Sunday night.
“I don’t want to hear about Garrett Wilson anymore,” Joe said. “You want to be a big-time receiver in this league? Catch the damn ball.”
Joe went right down the list, ripping the kicker and nearly everyone involved in the defensive effort after the past-his-prime Russell Wilson picked apart a unit that was supposed to be one of the best in football this year.
“Zuerlein has to go. I don’t want to see this guy anymore,” Joe said. “You gotta get a new kicker. He’s finished. Get him out of there.
“This defense stinks. I know the secondary is banged up…but Sauce is the most overrated corner in the game…right now, this defense isn’t any good.”
Lastly, while he isn’t directly blaming Jeff Ulbrich, Joe says the interim head coach does not look ready to take on the responsibilities that were given to him after Robert Saleh was fired, as the Jets actually look worse without their former head coach.
“This coach looks like he’s in over his head,” Joe said. “He looks like a deer in the headlights.”
