As if their depressing 23-Three loss to the Browns on Monday night time wasn\u2019t sufficient of an insult, the Jets afterward insulted everybody\u2019s intelligence with a barrage of non-answers and non-truths in regards to the purpose their No. 1 cornerback, Trumaine Johnson, was benched for almost all the recreation.<\/p>\n
Johnson, who was signed earlier than final season to a five-year, $72.5 million contract with $45 million in assured cash, stood on the sideline in uniform whereas Browns receiver Odell Beckham Jr. caught six passes for 161 yards and a landing.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, somebody named Nate Hairston, who was acquired in a low-profile commerce with the Colts in late August, began within the place of Johnson.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was simply our resolution,\u2019\u2019 coach Adam Gase mentioned when requested why Johnson didn\u2019t play.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe simply determined to not play him,\u2019\u2019 Gase mentioned when requested if Johnson \u201cwasn\u2019t adequate\u2019\u2019 to play.<\/p>\n
Truly, not adequate had been these non-answers by a coach who owes his fan base a purpose why the second highest-paid participant on his protection was wearing uniform, taking on a helpful game-day roster spot and never taking part in till rubbish time. Johnson entered with 3:27 left when Hairston was injured.<\/p>\n
Johnson mentioned, \u201cYou would need to go ask coach Gase and my DB coach [Dennard Wilson]\u2019\u2019 when requested why he hardly performed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI used to be going with the [starters] backwards and forwards by the entire week in apply,\u2019\u2019 Johnson mentioned. \u201cI dressed up, so I figured I used to be going to play. I didn\u2019t play. In fact, I\u2019m upset, however it\u2019s not about me. I used to be simply there supporting my guys on the market at the moment.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
Johnson mentioned \u201cthere wasn\u2019t no closing phrase\u2019\u2019 from Gase or Wilson that he wasn\u2019t going to play.<\/p>\n
Johnson mentioned he hadn\u2019t spoken to Gase or Wilson on Monday after his benching. When requested if he\u2019ll search solutions, Johnson mentioned, \u201cI\u2019ll discuss them face-to-face and go from there.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
When security Jamal Adams was requested when he was conscious Johnson wasn\u2019t going to play, he mentioned, \u201cWhen he didn\u2019t go on the market [Monday night].\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
Then Adams added, \u201cThat\u2019s not my place to remark. That the coaches\u2019 place, and that\u2019s my brother Trumaine\u2019s place to speak about it.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
Hairston appeared to have amnesia in regards to the occasions main as much as him beginning his first recreation as a Jet, saying, \u201cI can\u2019t actually keep in mind what day it was\u2019\u2019 that he knew he\u2019d begin, including, \u201cIt wasn\u2019t at the moment.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
Just a few days in the past?<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, one thing like that,\u2019\u2019 Hairston mentioned.<\/p>\n
Yeah, that\u2019s the ticket.<\/p>\n
Was he given a purpose?<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I simply was instructed I used to be taking part in,\u2019\u2019 Hairston mentioned. \u201cThat might be a query for coach.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
Besides that nobody was meting out any truthful solutions.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
