Adams Says Some ’17 Jets “Wanted to do the bare minimum”

[JetNation]

In an interview from earlier this off-season that surfaced recently, Jets second-year safety says that one thing he noticed during his rookie year was that some of his teammates “wanted to do the bare minimum”.  A big statement from a young player, but whose to say he wasn’t right?

Jamal Adams addresses his comments from a Bleacher Report Q&A in which he said, among other things, “When I came in, it was like everybody wanted to do the bare minimum.” #Jets pic.twitter.com/IxeZGxcVcW

When asked if he thought any type of explanation or apology to his teammates might be necessary, Adams said that with the “culture change” he has seen, that the team has moved on and the situation has improved.  Adams would go on to say he does not regret the comments.

Mo Wilkerson

Sounds like he's talking about Wilkerson for sure.

[Patriot Killa]

Easily calling out Wilkerson and maybe even Sheldon. 

[T0mShane]

Wilkerson had more INTs than Jamal Adams. Kony Ealy has more passes defensed than Jamal Adams. Adams gave up, conservatively, 8 TDs via the pass. Good on Jamal that he likes football and the halfwit beat kids have fallen in love with his sh*t-talking and dancing, but my dude needs to be a better player before he points the finger at veterans, or else he’ll get rolled in the locker room.

He wants it but it’s just out of reach. My guts huge, I live that shit.

If only he could catch footballs with his mouth.

I'm an Adams supporter but I actually agree with this. The tone of that interview is definitely that of a pompous kid who has accomplished nothing in the league telling everyone how to be professionals.

B-but he’s the next Eric Berry!

[prime21]

We have hammered many players for lack of hustle and leadership on this team.  It took a rookie to come in and say it out loud.  For all the talk he does, the one thing he can back up  is that he puts a 100 percent into practice and game time.

He said some real sh*t..period. You are just talking to talk right now. No matter the situation at hand or what Adams, himself, has done.

I respect a dude that can come in and call it like he sees it and that’s exactly what he did.

Cool. Cool. Hey, can you point me to any of Jamal Adams’ teammates who are on record as saying they like him or consider him to be a team leader?

[ZachEY]

While he’s saying real sh*t period, Mo Wilkerson’s out there not even trying and still making more of an impact on the outcome of football games.

Has the question or a initive statement leading to a comment like that ever been brought up in the short time that he has been around?

I would go as far as to say look at it with your own two eyes and judge if they feel that way towards him. You know, the same two eyes you rely on as judgement for how terrible he is?

Lol, when a Jet player or coach makes your sh*t list you really are a relentless mofo

[Larz]

I saw that article 

Adams isn't a guy I would hang out with but I'm glad he's a Jet 

He talks so much I don't think he even knows what he is going to say, he has some Michael Scott in him lol 

As a general rule we should all take his talk for what it is 

[T0mShane]

Hey look who’s still chasing Alex Smith 70 yards downfield after Smith faceplants Hustlin’ Jamal Adams.

This translates to, roughly, “Tom, I googled it and found nothing.”

This trait extends beyond sports. It’s a problem.

B/R: Are you seeing change? Or are there still guys in your locker room doing the bare minimum?

Adams: It's changed now. You can tell it's a different vibe.

I don’t believe it does, Tom. I have no desire to google anything regarding Jamal Adams for you. I would find that to be a huge waste of time, as you would just pop a witty yet nearly senseless line about his interception total and then I would feel as though my initial effort in trying to prove you wrong would become a joke....Because you do not care. 

He’s forever cemented in your mind as a terrible player after 1 year, so I see no purpose in doing that.

ps.

What does his teammates liking him have to do with calling out some BS? You are very random fellow, Tom.

Why does it matter that the guy the Jets drafted at sixth overall based almost exclusively on his “leadership” doesn’t seem to have one teammate who considers him to be a leader?

Adams is the man .. he's gonna be huge this year.

Anyone see what Peter King said about Adams?

Why do you guys fall for the troll? 

Please put him on ignore and stop quoting him, this way I don't have to see his drivel

1.) He was not only picked 6th due to “leadership” that’s merely a stand out quality and an overused word when mentioning Adams. 

2.) You are trying to create a narrative/angle to argue a nonexistent point from. Just because there is no ridiculously direct question floating around about if his teammates like him, you are trying to cleverly use that as a means to say he isn’t liked thus adding another point onto your list of reasons of why he should have been picked 6th. Look at the film during practices, One Jets Drive interviews, etc and form your own opinion from that because no one from the media has asked any of the other 52 men from last year the oddly descriptive and direct question as

“hey, do you love that Jamal Adams guy or WUT!?”

I don’t get it. Do other fans do this to their players? I have to join a few more boards and see if anyone else is as vindictive as our own.
