Zach Wilson wants Jets to be aggressive: ‘Screw the third downs’

During his media availability on Thursday, New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson said the offense must get off to better starts to help out the defense.

“I definitely think you ease into a game, but I almost feel like the defense is too, so we need to come out fast as well. They are easing into what we are doing on offense, so we need to be able to come out right from the beginning,” said Wilson.

In addition, Wilson made it clear that he likes the aggressive play-calling mentality that Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett used against the Chiefs, and that he would like for it to continue going forward.
