Marcus Maye emerges as rare Jets positive in Week 1
ORCHARD PARK — Jets protection Marcus Maye confirmed he is up for the obstacle of changing Jamal Adams in Sunday’s 27-seventeen loss to the Charges.
Maye was one particular of the several positives for the Jets to consider absent from their time opener. He experienced ten tackles, two sacks, two quarterback hits, two tackles for loss, two passes defensed and one particular forced fumble.
The Jets have questioned Maye to enjoy shut to the line of scrimmage this year, getting above the part Adams occupied very last year. Maye skipped a several other sacks of Charges quarterback Josh Allen, but overall he seemed at ease in his new part.
“I skipped a couple of performs that I must have designed, but I’m just out there playing soccer,” Maye mentioned. “No make a difference what place you are on the area, you’ve got to master and adapt. Which is just what I’ve been seeking to do. I’ve got to continue to make performs and direct the guys.”
Maye dealt with calf and ankle accidents this previous 7 days and skipped practice on Thursday, but his status was under no circumstances in doubt.
“I was playing no make a difference what,” Maye mentioned.
When the Jets traded Adams, it still left a void in their defense, but Maye seemed able of filling that Sunday.
“You can put me any where on the area and I’m heading to go out and enjoy tricky,” Maye mentioned. “Just remaining in that part now is some thing I appear ahead to and some thing I’m getting on.”
CB Pierre Desir experienced a brutal Jets debut. Desir dedicated two penalties and gave up a landing right before remaining benched midway by means of the second quarter. This is not what the Jets envisioned when they signed Desir to a one particular-year, $3.five million deal this offseason.
Desir dedicated keeping in the stop zone on a third down that extended one particular Charges push. He extra a go interference penalty. Then, he lined up about ten yards off of Charges receiver John Brown, who took gain of the cushion and scored a seventeen-yard landing. That was all the coaches required to see. Nate Hairston changed him.
LB Blake Cashman still left the game in the first quarter with a groin damage. Harvey Langi changed him. … Next-year DL Quinnen Williams experienced three tackles, one particular quarterback strike and two penalties. Williams jumped offside on third-and-4, providing the Charges lifestyle when the they must have been off the area. … The Jets have dropped 4 of their very last five openers.
