Oh, Jets. Jets, Jets, Jets. Can’t you do something proper? Present Chief and former Jet Mecole Hardman was accused by numerous former New York teammates of leaking offensive sport plans to opponents, together with Kansas Metropolis and Philadelphia. That’s a juicy rumor even when it’s not true, and my guess is it’ll by no means be substantiated, so why choose these two video games?
In a now-deleted tweet — aka the perfect form of tweet — Sauce Gardner alleged Hardman turned double agent.
The factor is, the Eagles and Chiefs outings have been arguably the 2 finest showings by the Jets all season. They beat the then-defending NFC champs, 20-14, and simply missed upsetting Patrick Mahomes and Co., 23-20. So let me get this straight, a former receiver was so disgruntled by Week 4 that he participated in career-threatening espionage to assist opposing defenses cease Zach Wilson?
Unsure blueprints are wanted to crack that protected and, in fact, Hardman denies it.
My guys, he was in these offensive conferences, tried to catch Wilson’s errant passes, and noticed in actual time the offensive line’s mind farts. I’m fairly positive he knew crib notes of Nathaniel Hackett’s sport plan weren’t going to assist opposing defensive coordinators. If something, the inside workings of Hackett’s mind usually tend to confuse than make clear.
“Hey, Hack, what’s this word here?”
“Strategery. George W. said that.”
“What’s it mean?”
“Mecole, what’d I say about asking questions?!”
“Only Aaron gets to ask questions.”
“That’s right.”
Actually, if Hardman didn’t make the Tremendous Bowl-winning catch, we’re most likely not having this dialog. Was it hysterical {that a} Jet within the preseason made the championship-winning seize in a special group’s uniform? Sure, it completely was, and Gangrene is coming off actual petty proper now.
Sorry karma and subject turf snapped Aaron Rodgers’ Achilles, however don’t blame a former teammate on your shortcomings. Plus, the Jets have been .500, and outscored opponents, 40-37, in video games wherein their offensive strategery was allegedly leaked. In the event that they knew about this development through the season, Robert Saleh ought to’ve faxed out detailed sport plans each week.
For those who’re going to accuse a former teammate of sabotage, no less than apply some logic.
