Jamal Adams couldn’t let Gregg Williams have the last word.
On Saturday, the Seahawks safety took to Twitter to share his thoughts on Williams’ recent comments. The Jets defensive coordinator threw shade at Adams and the Seahawks, implying that Seattle’s defense is not complex and that it was Williams who unlocked Adams’ ability as a pass-rusher during his first All-Pro season.
“Jamal may get bored there [in Seattle],” Williams said Thursday. “He had his most productive year here because of how we highlighted the skills he had.”
Williams’ comment lead to a few clap backs from Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll, who, among other things, said “We don’t make as many mistakes as [Williams] does.”
Adams came to the defense of his new head coach on Saturday, insinuating that Williams was a bit jealous.
“Gregg just misses me @PeteCarroll it’s ok… lol,” Adams tweeted.
Whether he admits it or not, Williams is going to miss having a player like Adams in his defense. However, the Jets have a more than capable group of safeties after acquiring Bradley McDougald as part of last month’s blockbuster trade. McDougald was ranked as the eighth-most valuable defensive back in coverage last season, according to NFL’s Next Gen Stats. He will join Marcus Maye and Ashtyn Davis in New York’s safeties room.
As the two sides continue to go back and forth, it appears that a cross-country rivalry is brewing months ahead of a Week 14 showdown between the two teams.
