The Jets coach stayed on message Monday, saying his “intent” is still to get benched quarterback Zach Wilson back in the lineup this season.
“I’m still right there with that statement,” Saleh said. “Zach’s been doing everything right. He’s been putting in the extra meeting time. He’s“ been putting in the extra work after practice, really working on trying to re-tie his fundamentals together and spending extra time.”
The Jets are 7-5 and are in a playoff race with five games left. White has thrown for more than 300 yards in each of his two starts. There is no way Saleh is benching White for Wilson if things stay on the same track, but Saleh publicly is still supporting Wilson, who the Jets selected No. 2 overall in 2021. It may be a way to bolster Wilson’s confidence or maybe the organization does not want to appear like it has given up on the player they thought would be their franchise quarterback.
Intent is a funny word and clearly Saleh is playing some semantics here. He can have that intention if he wants butSaleh ducked a question Monday on whether White can alter his plans, but clearly he is not going to bench a quarterback who is immensely popular in the locker room and is playing well. When the Jets face the Bills on Sunday, the plan is for White to be the starting quarterback, Joe Flacco to be his backup and Wilson to be inactive again, the same order the quarterbacks have been in for the past two weeks since Saleh benched Wilson after a loss to the Patriots.
