'There's A Couple Guys Out There Who Don't Really Want To Tackle' - Ashton Jeanty Had No Problem Calling Out The Jets Defense, Can't Wait To Play Them

Typically I'd say something about how this is probably dumb because you don't want to give a team bulletin board material when you're on the Raiders. But this is the Jets we're talking about. You can probably get away with a little shit talk if you're playing the Jets, the Titans, the Chargers, Dolphins, those sort of teams. He also might not be wrong here. I mean he's not naming names, so everyone can just guess and on the first missed tackle that guy will get blamed. Plus, the Jets defense isn't good at stopping the run. They are the 9th worst team in the league giving up 128 yards a game on the ground. 

Best part is, Jeanty hasn't even been good. Last year the excuse was no offensive line and a bad offense in general, which was fair. This year, the Raiders actually improved and Jeanty still hasn't looked right. I don't really know what's going on there. People are blaming bad vision, just not being explosive enough, combo of it all. But this game should set the tone on how people talk about him going forward. Or at least give him a week of people not shitting on him.

You gotta back this up though. You can't get bottled by a Jets defense who isn't good and you say they don't want to tackle. My biggest problem is not saying names. You gotta say it at that point. You can't sit there and say all this shit and then not point fingers at the people. I want to know who he's talking about. Everyone wants to know who he is talking about. I've always said I enjoy the shit talking, but don't hide who you're talking about. Just put it all out there. 

Raiders/Jets. Who would have thought it now becomes watchable just because of this quote.
