Williams called "cover-0," which indicates no safety. Before Gase could tell him to rethink the call, the story was already written. what a terrible coach...why is Adam Gase talking in the headset to a different coach Hank Aaron Jersey & not paying attention while Gregg Williams makes the most important defensive call of the game with :13 left?he could have called a timeout if he wasnt preoccupied chatting it up Warren Sharp (@SharpFootball) and winning 31-28 to keep the Jets winle s.Here's a look at the Hail Mary play: "We were down to the wire, and we knew that we needed a play." and combined for the play of the season, and repeated Raiders history against the Jets fifty years to the date Las Vegas Raiders (@Raiders) , there have been 252 pa s plays in the last 15 seasons that had the same setup as the one above.

Been around the thing for 58 years, 30 years as a coach. Thats the dumbest call ever. Theres a time and place for Cover-0. That sure aint it. Its just stupid. Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) Deion Sanders Jersey While the Jets' lo s against the Raiders kept in line with the rest of their season (concerning and embarra sing), the questionable call from Williams may have saved the Jets' chances of getting the No. 1 overall pick and in turn, Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence.Tank for Trevor is still very much on. You served the tank admirably. Timele s Jets (@Timele sJets) But he saved the number one pick! Tommy Hunt (@twelvebarbluezz) A lot of fans were tweeting that it looked like the team lost on purpose. When Trevor Lawrence wins the Super Bowl for the , they should build a statue for Gregg Williams. He sacrificed himself so they could win. Dov Kleiman (@NFL_DovKleiman) The Jets have already done step 1... Well if fire Gregg Williams I hope you fire the whole staff. Cant play buddy buddy with Adam Gase and Joe Douglas.
