“Injury wise, Tony Adams (safety) dealing with a hamstring. Michael Carter (RB) could have come back in; we held him out,” Saleh addressed the media. “Then, (LB) Quincy’s [Williams] being evaluated for, uh, for a knee, I believe.”

“Defensively, we just couldn’t get off the field on third down. We had our opportunities. Give them [Cowboys] credit, they were efficient,” Saleh exclaimed. Per coach, the Cowboys were ahead of the chains, and when Jets players did catch them in third and long situations, they were still able to capitalize. Nevertheless, HC had to answer another query, Was Zach Wilson’s performance under duress?

Robert Saleh’s thought on QB Zach Wilson?

Saleh weighs in. Despite facing intense pressure, Wilson’s handling impresses Coach Saleh. However, concerns lingered with forced throws and interception-triggering miscommunications. The opponent’s formidable defense kept the heat on throughout, per HC. “He [Zach Wilson] did a really nice job; he hit a destroy strike route to Garrett [Wilson] for that big touchdown,” Saleh stated.

Saleh praised Wilson’s execution of a crucial strike route to Garrett Wilson for a pivotal touchdown. He cautioned about the challenge of a drop-back game against such a formidable opponent, “Like I said, that team, when you have to get into a drop-back game with those guys consistently, it’s not, it’s not gonna be pretty.”

Additionally, Saleh noted the omnipresence of Dallas star Micah Parsons, making every third down a formidable task for Wilson.
