Jets Focus on Tackling Improvement Ahead of Colts Game

The New York Jets, struggling with tackling issues that led to 20 missed tackles in a recent loss to the Cardinals, are focusing on fundamentals under interim coach Jeff Ulbrich. In an effort to address this, the team is conducting tackling demonstrations and will have padded practices, emphasizing tackling techniques. Cornerback Sauce Gardner acknowledged the need for improvement, stating that players must execute tackles better, despite Ulbrich's presentations. Injuries continue to plague the Jets, with offensive tackle Tyron Smith likely out for the upcoming game against the Colts, which could lead to rookie Olu Fashanu starting in his place. Additionally, several key players, including Davante Adams and C.J. Mosley, are either sidelined or limited due to injuries. Ulbrich remains optimistic about the team's character and efforts as they navigate a challenging season.
