The New York Jets had high hopes for this season after drafting Sam Darnold and spending a ton of money in free agency. However, at 3-8, Gang Green has been a huge disappointment.

So, who is to blame for the train wreck this season has become?

In the past weeks, reporters and media alike have been calling for Todd Bowles’ head. There are certainly other members of the Jets coaching staff who are to blame for their lackluster play, but Bowles deserves the bulk of the responsibility since he’s the man in charge.

While many are ready for Bowles’ time in New York to come to an end, Jets safety Jamal Adams remains a vocal proponent of his head coach.

“It’s not Bowles, it’s really not,” Adams said Tuesday during his weekly appearance on WFAN. “I know people are frustrated with him, but it’s not his fault.”

Adams went on to blame New York’s defense for not playing with a “want to” or “a sense of urgency,” though that doesn’t exactly put Bowles in the best light considering he’s a defensive-minded coach.

Adams said the unit needs to talk more. He also added that he gets why Jets fans are fed up.

“When you’re not communicating and you’re not flying around the ball and making plays, bad stuff happens,” Adams said. “I understand the frustration of the fan base. We’re frustrated as hell, too.”

One way or another, the Jets must find a way to ignite a fire on both sides of the ball. Until then, Bowles will continue to be on the hot seat whether Adams likes it or not.
