Robert Saleh Profanity-Laced Rant Bashing Jets O-Line Goes Viral
Despite the sky-high expectations for the New York Jets this 2023 season, thanks to the acquisition of future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers, the team's recent presence on HBO’s Hard Knocks has shifted some of the spotlight. The franchise, already buzzed about as an AFC contender, only saw its stock rise with the television appearance. Yet, amid all the potential and promise, Jets' coach Robert Saleh isn't content with the present narrative. In a recent episode, he was captured passionately criticizing the offensive line's performance.
Robert Saleh Was Not Too Happy
Saleh’s tirade made it abundantly clear that he was not happy at all with how the Jets' offensive played during a joint practice against the Panthers.
“You can have a Hall of Fame quarterback, you can have two $10 million-plus receivers, you can have the reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year, you can have all kinds of skill in the running back room, but none of it f—— matters until the big boys up front change who the f— we are,” Saleh said. “We as coaches, we as an organization, can’t want it more than you,” he added.
