The NY Jets don’t do the thing every good coaching staff does

Jets X-Factor argues that the New York Jets coaching staff fails to properly utilize star wide receiver Garrett Wilson. Despite Wilson leading the NFL with a 22.9% catch rate over expected through Week 4, the writer criticizes the team for ranking 16th in wide receiver targets with only 31. The article contrasts this usage with how the Seattle Seahawks maximize fellow receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba through heavy target volume.

The analysis points out that the Jets have leaned unexpectedly toward a run game averaging just 3.4 yards per attempt. In a recent loss to the Chicago Bears, Wilson received only four targets from quarterback Geno Smith, while backup running back Braelon Allen logged 14 carries. The writer argues that head coach Aaron Glenn's staff actively limits the team's chances by underutilizing their best offensive talent.
