New York Jets’ Quinnen Williams ‘challenges’ coach in 27-12 lose to Cincinnati Bengals…

On Sep 25, 2022

Football is often called a game of emotions and that emotion was on full display during the New York Jets‘ 27-12 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

During the game, cameras caught Jets defensive lineman Quinnen Williams as he was getting into a heated argument with one of the members of the coaching staff. Ultimately he was held back by teammates.

The coach in question is Jets defensive coach Aaron Whitecotton. Head coach Robert Saleh also came over to speak to Williams after the initial incident.

Saleh commented on the incident following the game and said that Williams ‘was challenging the coaches,’ during his sideline blow up, according to The Athletic.

‘I love the fire. We don’t need them to jaw at each other but he’s being competitive.’

Williams tried to downplay the incident when talking to reporters after the game by saying: ‘It wasn’t really an argument like it seemed. Just a loud conversation.’

‘In the game, man, you just get heated,’ he continued. ‘I love my coach, man. My coach love me. We all competitors out there. We got dogs in our room, bro… I just trust my D-Line so much that- put it on our back to win this game man. That came out of me to just challenge my D-Line coach and be like: Put it on our back, coach.’

Williams continued to say that he felt once the defensive line got settled they were able to get pressure with just a four-man rush, and didn’t need to continue calling blitzes.
