JoJoTownsell1 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Didn't Gregg Williams bench Adams during the Browns game? I am guessing he will miss the talent but will not miss the drama Adams brings. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14 in Green Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 What would you expect Williams to say? Do you really think he's happy he has MacDougal instead of Jamal on his defense? Regardless of how anyone feels about Adams antics, he was the best player on the Jets. GW would obviously have preferred to have Adams to scheme around, Nothing will be said aside from "he was a great player here, I wish him well" or some PC version of "next man up, we'll be fine." The DC has to tow the company line. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesr Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 "Wishes Jamal well ..." "Looking forward to working with McDougald ..." "Front office decision / it's a business ..."

Addition by subtraction, Trolly. Better locker room after removing fugazi leader. Bradley McDougald will certainly help a lot more in the takeaway department, a huge area of weakness in Mr. 2-Picks game. Getting back real leaders Avery Williamson and C.J. Mosley will certainly offset the loss of Jamal's tackles and sacks. Thats not all! Two 1st round picks and a 3rd rounder... 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike all the things we posters say here, what he says might (stress might) be interesting and shed light on how he feels about the trade, and how it will effect his defense. even if it's just his tone or some aspect of how he says what he says. And yes, when a team trades away the "best player on the defense", I would expect the beat reporters to ask for Williams, and to ask him his opinion on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, when a team trades away the "best player on the defense", I would expect the beat reporters to ask for Williams, and to ask him his opinion on it. I think it would be very obvious that Williams would rather have Adams on the Jets than on the Seahawks and if pressed on that, he would most likely convey that. As far as what he would say about the trade, this is what he won't do. He won't trash the HC or the GM. He wouldn't say anything negative. This is why nobody is asking for the canned response he would deliver. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DC has to tow the company line. One step back in order to take two steps forward. If Gregg is interested in the longterm and building success with the Jets (and I honestly don't know if this team is a short pitstop for him or if he's planning to be here for 3-4 years) then he'll be happy about this move. As most independent analysts view this trade it's a win for the Jets where they unlocked the value of a talented player who was going to cost them a fortune. The loss of Adams might cost the Jets a win in 2020, but I think it will add a win or two in each season that follows if those picks are used appropriately. Make no mistake, GW lost his favorite toy, but I honestly think he's the kind of guy who likes that challenge. With all that said, the Jets no longer have an identity on Defense. Whether it was good or bad, it was what it was - Jamal Adams and a bunch of dudes (no disrespect to Mosley who was hurt). I look at the departure of Adams (and even Leo) as opening a door for leadership on Defense. And, I think that's what GW loves to see. I can just see his first day at training camp and giving a welcome speech, "Welcome back....the room looks a little different, doesn't it? And it might even be a little quieter on the practice field (wink). But there's an opportunity here for the young men who crave it. Who is ready to work hard, work smart, assert himself, and lead by example? Who is ready to take a step up the ladder? I don't care when or where you were drafted. I don't care how much you cost or what your contract status is. When you're on the field you're wearing green just like the guy next to you, and you're simply one of eleven. I play the guys who mentally and physically perform well. There's a door that's been opened...and I can't wait to see who has what it takes to walk through it!" 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

addage Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Fwiw Greg may be happier with this deal than we think. 5 of the first 7 picks were O’s.

Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Well, that's the funny part, some of the very folks who took the most umbrage at my usual "PR is PR, who cares what they say" opinion are the same ones telling me now it doesn't matter. Irony works both ways mate. Truth is, G.W. is the kinda guy who might just break script. Not likely per se, but possible. He could throw Adams under the bus, or could defend him, or could, as intelligent folks can, say everything he wants to get across without "saying it" as bluntly as all that, who knows. But yes, this is a rare instance where I go against my usual view of pressers, and I'd like to hear from a Coach, despite knowing the answer is likely fluff PR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
