Week 2 of the preseason wasn’t kind to the New York Jets. Not only did the big brother New York Giants defeat them by a 31-12 score, but the green team put sloppiness and a lack of focus on the game tape.

As everybody saw at halftime, when CBS’s Otis Livingston caught up to the man, head coach Aaron Glenn was unhappy.

Unhappiness in real time is one thing, but I’m pretty sure the Jets sideline boss doubled in anger when he dug through the film. His guys weren’t playing for one another, and some could not help but play hero ball at times—particularly the second-team defense.

Worse yet, Russell Wilson connected with Beaux Collins for an 80-yarder against the first team. While several starters were missing in action—Sauce Gardner, Quinnen Williams, Will McDonald, and Jermaine Johnson—the basic tenets of defensive coverage and communication should prevent such plays.

It was, indeed, ugly.

Safety Andre Cisco took much of the fans’ wrath at the time, and public sentiment has understandably not swayed. After all, the first-year Jet is the team’s free safety, the man whose positioning allows him to see the entire field, and the guy who was seen chasing Collins down before he hit pay dirt (one yard shy).

Common sense would lead anybody to believe that Cisco is the top culprit here.

While that may technically be true, blaming Cisco the most doesn’t even begin to share the entire story. As is usually the case on any play in this sport, multiple players came away from this singular play with a clear understanding of what Glenn and Steve Wilks want from them.

Cisco is undoubtedly included in this mix, but others, such as Qwan’tez Stiggers, Tony Adams, and even Brandon Stephens, deserve some of the unwanted bright lights on this one.
