The Jets were set to begin two days of joint practices with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Wednesday, but that will no longer be the case as Gang Green informed its guests that the two sides will only hold one joint session, canceling Thursday's reboot.

The Jets will instead hold a practice on their own on Thursday and force Tampa Bay to find another venue for its activities.

"I like one, one from a safety measure standpoint. I never like two practices because the second practice is usually when the injuries happen," head coach Robert Saleh said on Tuesday.

"Then the second practice is when the team that knows they kind of got beat, they go into their meeting rooms and the coaches are yelling at them and then they come out and they play with a little more edge and it pisses each other off and all the melees happen, so I just think the second day is very unproductive, except for trying to be reactionary to getting your butt kicked the day before," Saleh continued.

"So it’s a lot more productive if you have one, it’s a lot safer from a player safety standpoint and you can get a lot more work done on your own and you’re only a couple of days away from a game too, so you don’t want that physical of a practice that close to a game.

"So there’s a lot of reasons for it, mainly safety for the players, and production of work, just avoiding all those useless melees."

The two sides will play in Week 2 of the preseason at MetLife Stadium Saturday, kickoff at 7:30 p.m.

Last week the Jets had the second joint practice scheduled with the Panthers canceled by weather in Carolina. New York held a practice on its own that day.

• The Jets had the second joint practice scheduled with the Panthers canceled by weather last week. This week, the Jets reportedly made the decision to cut short their scheduled joint practices with the Buccaneers.

Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports the Jets informed the Bucs that they will participate in only one joint practice between the teams. The Jets will practice by themselves Thursday, leaving Tampa Bay to find an alternate location in New Jersey to practice.

The teams play at MetLife Stadium on Friday in Week 2 of the preseason.

“It’ll be very good to get some situational football done against someone other than ourselves,” Bucs coach Todd Bowles said Monday, via video from Pewter Report. “We need a lot of work. We need to see different things. Everybody kind of gets stuck in a rut so to speak camp-wise in kind of knowing who does what and what does it when, so it’ll be good to go up against somebody else. It’ll be good work for us.”

Are they practicing today?

[Beerfish]

As I said in my earlier thread, I do not like joint practices.

I was told repeatedly that the teams love them  and think they are way more important than actual exhibition games.

Nothing like flying across the country early and dealing with all the hassle and expense of doing so just so the other team can pull the rug on one of the practices out of thin air.

Also had a bunch of fights on the one between Washington and Baltimore the other day.

These things are useless and the teams are finding this out with them cancelling them.

The Game is Saturday night, not Friday.

They are still practicing tomorrow.  Just not with the Bucs.

[rex-n-effect]

Yesterday had several fights, including the big brawl. Fights happen in practices but that seemed particularly out of control. It's likely to get worse as the week goes on and the game is likely to be the place players try to settle scores when it's full contact.

I think these are generally pointless. The preseason games are far more important. 

[Warfish]

NFL Radio on Sirius was blasting Saleh pretty hard for this, specifically for informing the Bucs quite late in the game the Jets weren't interested.

Personal interest in the Jets success aside, I agree with them.  Agreeing to two-day joint practice, allowing Tampa to come up, incur those costs and effort, then cancelling is a dick move.  Reverse the situation, have Tampa cancel on us and we lose a day of planned practice, and I'd be equally disapproving of Tampa.

/shrug, preseason drama, bring on week 1 already......

[Facts]

Saleh cancelled practice to give him more time to come up with more BS rah-rah cliches and t-shirts.

[DarthVitreous]

In order to limit the risk of injury, avoid the emotional trauma of losing games, and allow me to play more than one round of golf per day, the jets will be forfeiting all 17 games of the 2023-24 season-Robert Saleh.

Gotta say the reactions this afternoon in the 3 most recent threads are hitting all time lows around here and I am not the veteran many of you are.

May i suggest the Charlie Harper stress relief for many of you - hookers, alchohol and gambling. 

We are not even halfway thru the preseason yet.

Though I agree that cancelling the 2nd day of scrimmages on short notice is a very bad look for the Jets, I was pissed off hearing this on the drive into to work today as the story was presented in a very biased manner by the hosts of the show on Sirius, Giant shill radio announcer Bob Papa and former Jet OC Charlie Weis, who followed Belichick back to the Patriots after Parcells retired as Coach of the Jets, and who seems to have a real bone to pick with the Jets as he is always negative whenever the Jets come up on a show that he's on.  Papa made a big point of saying how the Giants saved the day for Tampa by allowing them to use their practice facility on an upcoming day to help them make up for their lost day of scrimmaging against the Jets.  So much blatant bias against from so many in the media, including Marc Ross (ex-Giants front office for 10 years) and Michael Robinson from NFL Network with tons of cheap shots since we signed Aaron Rodgers. 

[slimjasi]

Joint practices seem to lead to more fights and injuries than regular practices do. I have no idea if there is data to actually back that up, but I do know that players and coaches have voiced these concerns for years. 

knowing nothing else, I’m good with fewer joint practices

You are so right. Charlie Weiss is the worst Patriot shill on NFL radio and that network is full of them. I remember how negative he was when Gase got Mac fired and Douglass hired as if it was the crime of the century. The only thing worse than his commentary was his head coaching at Norte Dame. The only reason he had any success as an OC was his beloved “Tommy”.

Yes real reps for guys trying to make the team are completely pointless. I can promise you coaches aren’t burning the tape.

Sure, the fringe dudes, absolutely the preseason has some meaning but that stuff isnt helping the team progress like the practices do where the starters, typically, are out there competing vs. another teams starters, which basically doesnt happen in preseason games.

Oh, I read it wrong too. I thought they were all smoking a joint instead of practicing. It happens.

What a f*ng sour pickle you are. 

[T0mShane]

The thing you hate about this is that it was very likely done at the behest of Aaron Rodgers and the whole org just went along with it. 

[BigRy56]

Couldn't care less about this. With the amount of injuries the Jets had last year, any measure that Saleh wants to take to limit exposure is good by me. Today's practice being against the Bucs or in-house means nothing in the grand scheme of the season. Better to play it safe

idk, it was pretty heated yesterday by all accounts and Gage was carted off/done for the season.  I could see some coaching sphincters tightening up and not wanting to risk more fights/cheap shots after a day that was more than chippy.

This was announced on like Sunday or Monday, so yesterdays practice had nothing to do with it. Also don’t see how this has any connection to Rodgers though, Saleh gave a pretty detailed explanation a couple of days ago about how the team that “lost” the first day will often cross the line on the second day and that’s when you get brawls and injuries.

hmm no wait I was told handing the entire organization to Rodgers was in fact a good idea 

[Lith]

Never let facts get in the way of a good opportunity to bash the Jets.  2nd joint practice was cancelled on Monday.

That is indeed a lineup guaranteed to hate on anything the Jets do, but scheduling a joint practice in March and then canceling it two days beforehand is really sh*tty. If you’re predisposed to think that the organization as a whole is rudderless and Saleh in particular is in way over his head, this doesn’t exactly help matters.
