Postgame Press Conference


Jets - 21, Texans - 14

Q. (Inaudible) in the second game, anything on that line drive, get back up?

JONATHAN GREENARD: Yeah, a lot of big plays in the run game, fits and stuff, bases getting on the perimeter, getting looks on the big guys, just playing a numbers game. I think they executed it pretty well. We had our moments. We just weren't consistent enough to knock that out.

Q. How disappointing is it to come off a really big win last week and not be able to follow it up?

JONATHAN GREENARD: Right. It just shows you that nobody cares about what you did last week. Any given Sunday, we've got to go out there and treat all our opponents with the same respect that we did with Tennessee as well. And just finish. No matter what, we had a chance to finish the game out. We just gotta do it.

Q. (Inaudible)?

JONATHAN GREENARD: I'm not saying that. Its just the aspect when you have to finish a team, of course the record might not say the same thing as Tennessee's, but at the same time they're still in the NFL, like we are. You've got to treat them the same way as Tennessee or any top team in the NFL. Hats off to them.

Q. Thoughts about Zach Wertz?

JONATHAN GREENARD: He's a young guy. I could tell he was banged up out there a little bit, but he got all the mechanics and intangibles to be a good quarterback. He's just young, he's gotta get through the growing pains. But (indiscernible) the panic button on him. He's made some mistakes but that's not my choice to keep him at that quarterback position. I'm letting them make that decision.

Q. (Inaudible)?

JONATHAN GREENARD: Can't happen. It just can't happen. No excuse. None of that. It just can't happen. That's inexcusable.

Q. You all put a lot of pressure on Zach, and then they switched up to the running game. What happened when they started (inaudible)?

JONATHAN GREENARD: They just knew that we got guys, when they get into those predictable situations that they know we're going to try to tee off and get off the ball. But at the same time we have to know what's coming behind that.

We've got to be more sound and more understanding of their game plan, understand situational football and get better in that aspect, things we've got to clean up ourselves, it just shows up week in, week out. We have to continue to build on them.

Q. What was coach's decision, Justin?

JONATHAN GREENARD: Coach tell us whatever is going on. He held everybody accountable from day one, so whatever decision he go with, we're going to stick with it. Ain't got too much to say on that one.

Q. (Inaudible)?

JONATHAN GREENARD: Can't happen. Inexcusable.
