Adam Gase had that look in his eyes. You know the one I’m talking about.
The New York Jets new coach was getting ready for (preseason) football, and took a whiff of smelling salts. And while he generally looks like a maniac, he looked particularly insane after using the smelling salts during kickoff for the Jets’ preseason game against the New York Giants.
This is extremely on-brand for Gase, whose introductory press conference with the Jets was highlighted not by what he said but instead by how he looked (like a madman). His eyes were so intense that he got memed within minutes of getting introduced as New York’s hire.
In the game against the Giants, the Jets went on to score a quick touchdown on their opening drive, led by Gase and quarterback Sam Darnold. In so many ways, it was apparent that those smelling salts were working.
