Nathaniel Hackett studied what his New York Jets offense did in the team’s first six games and he was blunt with his assessment. The offensive coordinator said his group has been bad in both situations and his criticism is valid. The Jets rank last in the NFL in scoring touchdowns in the red zone at 29.4%, going 5 for 17 inside their opponents’ 20.

The “self-inflicted wounds” Hackett mentioned are the result of penalties, poorly executed plays or blown assignments that put the Jets in second- and third-and-long — scenarios they have faced often through six games. And they have also occurred in the red zone — or the “gold zone,” as Hackett calls it — pushing New York outside the 20 or having promising drives stall and the Jets having to settle for field goals.
“It’s how could we have been just a little bit better? How could I have been a little bit better? Which ones did I miss out on?New York averages 8.4 yards to go on second down — the third-worst mark in the NFL. Its 8.37 yards to go on third down rank second worst. “For us, we have a plan for all those situations, and we just have to keep calm and we all have to do our job.”
