Jets receiver Garrett Wilson had some things to say on Tuesday about the team’s offense. He then had some things to say about what he’d said.
The initial quote, from a response to a question posed by Bart Scott on 98.7 ESPN New York, was posted by Rich Cimini of ESPN.com.
“I don’t think we do a lot of different stuff to be honest,” Wilson said of the team’s offense. “When I watch football on Sundays and I see a lot of teams who mix it up and stuff like that.

During the Week 1 ManningCast, Bill Belichick’s high-level, Professor of Football analysis of the New York offense consisted of saying, more than once, just throw it to Garrett Wilson.
Wilson knows it. We all know it. And if the Jets were 3-1 or 4-0, it wouldn’t be an issue. But…
