It’s a bit of a mystery as to what New York Jets defensive coordinator Gregg Williams was doing on the final defensive call of the team’s loss to the Las Vegas Raiders: was their Cover 0 blitz just a horrific play call? Or a deliberate attempt to tank for Trevor Lawrence?
On Monday’s Get Up! Rex Ryan simply called it the “dumbest call I’ve ever seen.”
“Been around the thing for 58 years, 30 years as a coach. That’s THE dumbest call EVER. There’s no other way of putting it.”
“Look … there’s a time and a place for cover-zero,” Ryan continued. “That thing sure ain’t it. It’s just stupid!”
He went on to rant about how the Jets didn’t even run it right, and more:
