Mike LaFleur’s offense has been Adam Gase-esque early this season, and that’s no compliment.
The Jets have scored just 20 points in their first three games. Fourteen of the 20 came in the second half against the Panthers in Week 1. New York has not scored a touchdown since. LaFleur’s unit hit rock bottom against the Broncos in Week 3, as Denver pitched a shutout.
Gang Green has played three stout defenses, but LaFleur’s play-calling in the early stages of his career as an offensive coordinator has not been inspiring. Zach Wilson hasn’t been great under center, there hasn’t been much of a running game, the wide receivers aren’t generating separation consistently, and the offensive line has not been good.
All of that falls on LaFleur to some degree.
The Jets are going to need LaFleur to step up his game if their offense wants to get back on track before this season is completely lost. Here are five ways New York’s rookie play-caller can jumpstart his struggling offense, starting Week 4 against the Titans.
