Floorham Park, NJ – New York JetsExpectations for ‘ Sauce gardner The old “Friday night’s light” is reminiscent of the Permian High Mantra from the film:
Be perfect.
When the new defensive coordinator Steve Wilks first met Gardner at the beginning of Offsen, he challenged Star Cornerback to extend his game to a new level. Perhaps he saw some slippery in the last season after a historic start for his career. Or maybe he was just pushing the button, which the coaches also do with their best players.
Whatever the reason, the message of the message was connected.
Gardner said, “I know I am not right, but the fact that he is trying to get out of me, what I want, because you know, I have a lot of success, I have a lot of success, the initial success in the league,” Gardner said. “And the last thing I want is is a new regime to come here and just allows me to be decent.
“I am not saying who I am, but it is very good only for those types of people who are going to demand a lot of me and just push me in ways that I have never pushed before.”
Gardner started his career with the speed of a Formula 1 car, which exploded in stardom.
Overall fourth draft prepared In 2022, he was named NFL Defensive Ruki of the Year and First-Team All-Prop. In 2023, he became the first cornerback after the NFL-AFL merger in 1970, named the first-Team All-Pr in each of his first two sessions. Only two other defensive players have completed: New York Giants Legend Lawrence Taylor and Dallas Cowboys Passer Micah Parsons,
With a large game and an aristocratic surname, Gardner made a huge support deal with a restaurant series, which specializes in a wide variety of Buffalo wings and sauces. Naturally, the sauce had its own custom sauce. By the age of 23, he became one of the most popular non-quarterbacks of jets in recent memory.
Then the last season came last season, a terrible year for the Jets (5–12) and an off year for Gardner, which according to the next gene stats, abolished the 47th out of the 52 corner (the expected marks added) in the EPA/per target.
This was a major fall from his first two sessions – the second of 49 corners in 2022, 13 out of 47 in 2023. He punished more and more than the previous season (nine), as he did in his first two sessions (seven).
Gardner disagrees with the notion that 2024 was on all, it is called the “very smooth” season for him. He said, “It is never as bad as people try to paint it,” given that social media focuses on negative.
In a way, that is right. He was so good as a crook that he compared the Pro Football Hall of Famer and former Jets Star Darel Revis, extending expectations to a pornographic higher level. Now that someone hiccups – a punishment or a pass against him is complete – the response between fans is “what’s wrong with the sauce?”
Life in Gotham can be difficult for star athletes. Nevertheless, jets want to keep it around for a long time. They are in the process of interacting on a contract expansion for Gardner, who can become the highest league player to his post.
“His standard is so high because he is just a different player than everyone on the field,” Nickel Back Michael Carter II Said.
Wilks called Gardner one of the best in his position, but he wants more stability. He wants him to be “prominent” on a week-by-week basis, maximize his length (6-foot-3), long arms (33 and in) and speed (4.41 seconds in 40-yard dash).
“He is very gift, and I said to him,” Sometimes your biggest strength is your biggest weakness, “Wilks said. “He is a boy who is sometimes at 85%, he is still better than every person around him. So he said – and I said to him,” Compete against himself. ” It is from here that he has to be better, which he will do. ,
Gardner does not have To get away, if he wants advice about playing the situation. The new coach of Jets, Aaron Glenn, played a corner for 15 years, making three Pro Bowls. Assistant Defense Draw ‘Bailey’ made two Pro Bowls in 11 years, finishing with an impressive 43 interception.
One of the goals of Gardner is to stop more passes; He has only three in 48 matches. Despite an increase in man-to-man coverage in the previous season, jets were mainly a zone-based defense under the previous coaching staff. In zone coverage, a defensive back has eyes on quarterbacks, which must create more opportunities to play on the ball.
They are hoping to be a human-urge team this season, seeing Glenn’s reputation as a pressure-minded coach. When your back turns into quarterbacks, it is difficult to create interception, but Gardner, with its unusual shape to a corner, may have a disruptive force in the line of scrimpus in press coverage.
Gardner said, “I always thank him every single day because he has put me in a position to make plays.”
Another goal, he said, in the year 4 is to become more as a team leader. He has a long conversation with Glenn about leadership. Glenn wants the leadership to be authentic. He does not want the players to be vocal if this is not his personality; It comes in the form of a foi.
Glenn said, “Here I have talked about him, which he should be.” “When you lead, just let your impact talk all. How do you work with players in the handle and in the locker room? It speaks more to the man.
Gardner has said that he wants to go as the best cornerback ever before completing his career. This will be an ideal end.
