Episode 2 on Zach Wilson focuses on things I want to see him do better, such as recognizing what he is seeing and where to go with the football. Also, the New York Jets offensive play design at times is not helping him or making the game easier for him. I am wondering what they are trying to do. We've got a young quarterback that you want to be definitive and you want him to put his foot in the ground and throw the ball because that’s where he is so good. I've got to set him up to succeed and I think there are a number of times where the New York Jets are not doing that.
He has to get better at processing the information given to him. He could use some help of course. With the design or execution of the plays around him. You get a lot of guys that don’t know what you’re doing with a particular concept, what I’m supposed to be reading or guys who aren’t doing what they are supposed to be doing so they are clouding the read. Now this is when you get impatient as a quarterback, especially as a young quarterback when you start to panic and try to force things in there because you’re not comfortable with what you’re seeing. You saw that a number of times in the second tape. The lack of processing or how the lack of design and execution affects the young quarterback and made him do things that he shouldn’t be doing. Or slows down his ability to grow because now he is second guessing. We have got to be able to clean things up and help our young quarterback whether it is play design or execution. Then Zach Wilson had to grow in the area of having a plan and understanding how to process from his first guy to his second to his third. Really good when his first guy is open. Where he can just drop back and rip the ball. But we know, in this league, people are going to start taking away those first two guys. You have to go up to the line with a plan of what you’re going to do if that happens. #zachwilson #nfl #newyorkjets
