Well, at least the Jets’ new defensive coordinator isn’t shy with his new team.
Gregg Williams adamantly said his feelings about safety Jamal Adams right when they met. He left no space for a query.
“One of the things is he is very motivated by directness and I said’I’ve coached better folks than you before,'” Williams said when asked what the very first thing he said Adams was. “Right off the bat. That was a point, and all of a sudden he has been fun to see and he can not fake who he is either.”
Ever since being drafted sixth overall in 2017, Adams has been among the league’s best safeties. Adams was adamant his rookie year was not good enough. He tweeted,”I won’t overlook another Pro Bowl. Believe that”
What did his season bring? A Pro Bowl and second-team All-Pro selection after 86 tackles, 12 passes defended and 3.5 sacks. Now, with Gregg Williams directing his defense for the first year, Adams has been challenged to reach the next level.
Williams went on to mention Adams and fellow third-year safety Marcus Maye as men who should stay sharp.
“Not just him but Marcus (Maye) and some other guys, too,” Williams stated. “We’ve got to keep healthy, and we’ve got to cut them loose and let them playwith. But they have had a good spring.”
As usual, Williams is making his thoughts known to everyone who will listen.
