Jets offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur on Thursday chided himself for a poor play call on Zach Wilson’s scoring pass to backup offensive lineman Conor McDermott.
LaFleur joked that McDermott “thinks I will solely design [more plays] for him,” adding, “He was part of the progression [on the scoring play] and we found him, which was cool. It was a heck of a catch.”
“I saw how out-leveraged we were to the left and I knew, ‘This isn’t going to be great,’ ” he said. “Fortunately for us, that was fourth down. If that was third down, who knows if he would have found him, [Wilson] might have gotten rid of it a little bit quicker.“From my vantage point, I saw how open McDermott was, but I also saw bodies over there as well, and then I saw McDermott’s hands go up, and I’m like, ‘Oh, man,’ because I knew that he was going to have to make kind of an adjusted catch.
“I don’t know if I got on him too hard with it … just conversations, trying to coach him up,” LaFleur said Thursday. “Within the moment, I think that’s where it’s real. I thought he had an opportunity on a scramble versus New Orleans to pick up more yards than he did. He got an explosive, but I thought there was a lot more.
Denzel Mims has one reception for 4 yards on seven targets in the four games he has played since returning from the reserve/COVID list. Making those numbers more alarming is the fact the Jets have been down their top receivers during that time.Lafleur defended the continued lack of production from Mims despite being healthy.
