NASHVILLE Keyshawn Johnson Jerseys 2019 , Tenn. (AP) — The New York Jets keep finding new ways to lose games, and the latest left coach Todd Bowles furious they wasted a 16-point lead for their sixth straight loss.So much went right Sunday as Jason Myers kicked five field goals, Trumaine Johnson returned only his second interception this season 31 yards for a touchdown and the Jets blocked both a punt and an extra punt. Yet they wound up losing 26-22 to the Tennessee Titans when they couldn’t finish off a win.“If I knew the answer to that, honestly, we’d be finishing right now,” said Bowles, whose tenuous job security frays with each loss. “We’re doing the same thing we’ve been doing. At some point, we’ve got to make a play to win a ballgame. We had four penalties in that last drive alone that kept the drive alive. That shouldn’t have happened.”The Jets (3-9) had plenty of chances to put away the Titans (6-6) early only to settle for field goals on three trips inside the Tennessee 20. That included one drive that started at the Titans 18 after Kevin Pierre-Louis blocked and recovered a punt in the second quarter.Bowles said he wished he could answer the question on why the Jets are so ineffective in the red zone.“We haven’t scored in quite some time consistently, and we get stuck every time we get there. Thank goodness for Myers, and that’s not enough to win ballgames. We’ve got to be able to score touchdowns and stop people, and we have not done that, especially today.”Even when Andre Roberts returned a kickoff 61 yards to open the second half, the Jets went three-and-out after starting a drive at the Titans 42.“We had plenty of chances to put the game away and put our foot on their throats White LaDainian Tomlinson Jerseys , and we didn’t do it,” Bowles said.The Jets went three-and-out five times with rookie quarterback Sam Darnold watching his third straight from the sideline with an injured foot. Veteran Josh McCown started, yet he was just 17 of 30 for 128 yards. His lone interception came with 21 seconds left on the Jets’ last chance to end this skid.New York wound up winning time of possession, holding the ball for more than 33 minutes. The Titans had the edge in total offense 403-280.McCown said the Jets will look at what they can do better in the red zone moving forward.“We just weren’t good enough when we got down there, and guys got to look at what we can do to be better and do our best to get it fixed,” McCown said.Asked if the issues revolve around playcalling or execution, McCown said he only knows execution as a player. Settling for field goals didn’t help.“When you get the ball in advantageous positions, you’ve got to go score and get seven (points),” McCown said. “You can’t stack threes up all day. It’s going to come back and get you, and it got us.”Bowles said Darnold could have played Sunday, but needed more work after missing the previous two games. Bowles wouldn’t say yet if Darnold will play when the Jets visit Buffalo next Sunday.The Jets also hurt themselves with too many penalties, finishing with 11 for 96. A facemask penalty on Johnson added 15 yards to a 25-yard scramble by Marcus Mariota on the Titans’ winning drive.Wide receiver Quincy Enunwa said a lack of discipline is what cost the Jets.“What can a coach do? A hold or anything like that, they can’t control that LaDainian Tomlinson Jerseys 2019 ,” he said. “That’s on us. We have to play smarter. It has kind of been a thing all year. It is pretty frustrating.” FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP)At the training facility, Kacy Rodgers is the New York Jets‘ defensive coordinator.Everywhere else, he’s Dad to Kacy Rodgers II, a versatile defensive back competing to make the team.The two are enjoying the unique chance to work together in the NFL as father-son and coach-player.”It’s been great,” the younger Rodgers said with a smile after a recent minicamp practice. ”This is an opportunity that doesn’t come around very often and it’s extremely rare in our profession to have this situation. I’m just taking it all in and using this opportunity to my fullest and taking advantage of it.”The 26-year-old Rodgers II has been doing exactly that over the last few years just to reach this point. He went undrafted after playing at the University of Miami from 2010-13. Rodgers II had visits with several NFL teams over the last few years and was in the Canadian Football League for three seasons, including the last two with the Saskatchewan Roughriders.He was signed by the Jets in February and has a chance to add depth to New York’s secondary, where he’s listed as a safety but can also play cornerback as well as contribute on special teams.”From my standpoint, you have to be proud of him because you know everybody’s road is different to get here,” the elder Rodgers said. ”He wasn’t a second-round draft choice and pushed in here. He had some of the rookie weekends that didn’t work out. Then he kept trying, kept trying. Then he went to the CFL route, then the CFL practice squad, then he made the CFL roster White Curtis Martin Jerseys , became a starter and consequently drew some free agent attention and now is here.”And, just because he has a special relationship with the man running the Jets’ defense doesn’t mean Rodgers II gets preferential treatment.”I get on him no different than any other,” the elder Rodgers said. ”He’s my son when we walk outside the building, but when he walks in the building, he’s No. 39. He’s got a job to do, no different than No. 33, No. 36.”Well, except for the occasional but inevitable good-natured razzing on the field.During a practice in organized team activities last month, Rodgers II intercepted a pass from rookie Sam Darnold and the defensive players went wild.”He’s your daddy’s son!” several of them shouted at the Jets’ defensive coordinator, who couldn’t help but crack up.Coach Todd Bowles playfully retrieved the football and handed it to the proud father.”Just looking at it from the outside in, I think it’s great,” Bowles said. ”It’s great on one hand and when another coach is yelling at him, it’s probably not great that you’re sitting there inside stewing Curtis Martin Jerseys 2019 , but they have a great relationship. I’ve known them for quite a while, since he was probably 12 or 13. Just to see them two together again, as a father, I’m sure you have to be proud.”I can’t imagine because it’s his son and himself, but I’m sure they have nice dinner conversations.”Those moments have actually been few and far between over the years. While Rodgers II was growing up and becoming a standout football player on the AAU and high school fields of Southlake, Texas, his father was carving out a coaching career while spending months at a time away from home.”He didn’t get to see me actually play a game until I got to college, and it just so happened that we shared the same stadium – him with the Dolphins and me with the Hurricanes,” Rodgers II said. ”If we didn’t, I’m not sure when he would’ve gotten to see me play. Just going from that to seeing him every day and working with him every day, man, it’s something you really can’t describe.”The elder Rodgers had several coaching stops in college before landing a job as Dallas’ defensive tackles coach in 2002. He took over as the Cowboys‘ defensive line coach in 2005 and then served in the same role with Miami from 2008-14 before being hired by Bowles to join his staff as the defensive coordinator in 2015.”By the time he was finished in high school, I was coaching down south White Joe Klecko Jerseys , and then he would come to my games on the weekend and I was fortunate enough his coaches would email me his games so I got to see them,” Rodgers said. ”I think I got to see him play one time in his high school career. And then in his Canadian Football League career, I got to see him one time in person. It was after our last minicamp practice last year, I flew to Vancouver to watch him play in their last preseason game.”So it’s kind of surreal to see him every day in practice.”And, with minicamp over and the Jets breaking for six weeks before the start of training camp, the two will celebrate Father’s Day in person Sunday instead of relying on long-distance phone calls.”I think this is the first time I’ve seen my dad more than once or twice in a year just because of our schedules and jobs and things like that, so it’ll be special because of the fact we’ll be together,” Rodgers II said. ”I really can’t tell you the last time it was, probably 10 years at least. It’s been a while. Conflicts in schedules, so we’re going to just take advantage and hang out and just enjoy it.”—
