Jets has the longest playoff drought in the NFL. This is a streak that CJ Mosley expects to end this season.
"I'm really looking forward to the playoffs or bust," Mosleytold AL.com. "Of course, that's my goal every year, but I think it's a realistic goal for our entire team and coaches."
Gang Green finished 4-13 in 2021 and The last was the AFC East area. This is the position Jets has finished in five of the last six seasons. The unfortunate season was the team's first crusade under Robert Saleh, who came to the Jets following the shooting of Adam Gase. In his second year under Saleh's command, Mosley believes the jets are far more satisfied with his plans than they were a year ago.
"Last year, everyone learned the system and learned from each other," he said. "When we enter the off-season this year, we know that everyone already knows it. We are two steps ahead of last year as far as we can see in the playbook. We do ourselves. I know we have to. Everyone is comfortable and now it's all about going out to make and perform plays. I think that's the biggest step for us this year. "
Mosley signed Jets andat 5 in 2019 He had a $ 85 million contract annually, but was sent off immediately after two games of injury for his debut season. Four professional bowlers have opted out of the 2020 season for COVID-19.
"I've been out for almost two years now, so I'm looking at a lot of things," Mosley said. "Because everyone is human, when you're out for a long time, a lot of things happen in your head about how long you want to play. You're old. The next guy is like that. But in the end, I had to come here alone and do some hard work, and it was rewarded for this past season. "
Mosley's efforts Obviously, it paid off last season. With his return in 2021, he accumulated the team's best 168 tackles, two sack and two forced fumbles. But at the age of 30, he still believes there are areas for improvement.
"[I] step up to another level as follows: As long as we are players and leaders and we are trying to take us to the promised land, "Mosley said.
Mosley will have a lot of young weapons to help him get there. This year, Jets drafted four dynamic plug-in starters with cornerback source Gardner, wide receiver Garrett Wilson, defensive end Jermaine Johnson, and Breece Hall running back.
The playoffs may be a stretch goal, but at least the pieces have fallen into place to move from the ACF East basement.
