Jets head coach Adam Gase and general manager Joe Douglas spoke to the media today at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. Here are some of the highlights.
Gase says he’s not sure if Le’Veon Bell will attend voluntary program, adding his attendance is “not a huge deal.” Says Bell came prepared last year to training camp. #Jets

Gase on Robby Anderson: Always “helpful” to keep your own players, but free agency is “unpredictable.” #Jets

Gase says they have “holes to fill” on the OL and Douglas has been working “relentlessly” address them. #Jets

Gase says he’s “really encouraged” by Darnold’s progress, but notes that he must work on his consistency. #Jets

Adam Gase expects both QB Sam Darnold (thumb) and ILB C.J. Mosley (groin) to be good to go for the spring.

“The plan is for Jamal (Adams) to be a Jet for life” - Joe Douglas #Jets

Jets GM Joe Douglas:

We need to have a strong offensive line. We have to do a good job of protecting Sam.
Douglas on Robby Anderson: Will talk to his agent at the combine. #Jets

Douglas on Le’Veon Bell: “I wouldn’t say his play declined. We have to do a better job of opening holes for him.” Says there has been no trade talk. #Jets

Douglas says Anderson is a “dynamic wide receiver who can take the top off any defense.” Yes, but how much is he willing to pay for that? #Jets

Jets GM Joe Douglas:

We need explosive guys. We need explosive, dynamic playmakers.
Joe Douglas mentions “durable” as a trait he wants his offensive linemen to have. Graham Glasgow & Joe Thuney fit that #Jets

Joe Douglas said that he will not initiate any conversations about trading Le’Veon Bell #Jets

I say this every year, but there really isn’t much to take away from these Combine press conferences. I think the only real news we learned was the positive developments on the injury front from Mosley and Darnold.
No team will or should offer much information on its offseason plan to the public right now. Anecdotally I have heard that the Combine is when many contract discussions start to take place so this is the point where offseason plans really start to come into focus.
At this point Douglas is essentially a blank slate. He hasn’t had the opportunity to make many moves of consequence. Soon we will get the first chapter of his story and begin to find out whether he is the right man for the job.
