joewilly12 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Jets DL coach Pepper Johnson won't talk about defensive line in bizarre interview New York Jets defensive line coach Pepper Johnson answers a question after NFL football practice Monday, Sept. 7, 2015, in Florham Park, N.J. (AP Photo | Mel Evans) PrintEmail By Connor Hughes | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com Email the author | Follow on Twitter on November 15, 2016 at 2:31 PM, updated November 15, 2016 at 2:41 PM FLORHAM PARK — Maybe this is where Sheldon Richardson and Muhammad Wilkerson get their perceived lack-of accountability? Is Todd Bowles' job with Jets on the line? On Tuesday, Jets assistant Pepper Johnson conducted arguably the strangest media session of the year. The defensive line coach refused to answer questions from reporters about (seriously) the defensive line. "Before we get started, there is no Pepper Johnson questions," Johnson said. "I'm not answering any questions." Johnson, who is required to speak to the media just three times a year, proceeded to inform reporters he would not talk about himself, his players, or the Jets' defensive line as a whole. The Jets certainly haven't been short of issues this season, and the underwhelming performance of Johnson's unit isn't without criticism. Outside of Leonard Williams (six sacks), Muhammad Wilkerson and Sheldon Richardson have just five sacks between them. Not only are there struggles from the two on the field, but off it as well. Who could Jets target in free agency? Could these players help fix the Jets? Both Wilkerson and Richardson were suspended for the first quarter of the Jets' Week 9 loss to the Dolphins after showing up late to a team meeting. As NJ Advance Media first reported, the two have had issues with tardiness throughout the year. "I have been late to meetings," Wilkerson said last week. "I did miss the walk-through prior to the Ravens game. Those actions are unacceptable. I definitely feel that, as a leader on this team, I need to do better. I respect the coaches, I respect everyone in this building. I take responsibility for my actions. "Moving forward, it won't be an issue. As a leader on this team, I have to show better and do better. That's something I will do." The Jets just awarded Wilkerson a five-year, $86 million contract extension in July. Richardson will be a free agent after 2017, and is looking for a similar payday.

roscoeword Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Read the piece in the Post about how Snacks is playing very well for the Giants. Guess we signed the wrong guy long term. I guess the question all along wasn't whether we should sign a pass rusher vs. a run stuffer, but the question should have been, who is the better person, who has more integrity? Remember Snacks goodbye video to Jet fans - you can see he was real and humble. In any case, what was once the strong point of the team, the DL, has become a detriment or mediocre at best.
