Jamal Adams says don’t blame his coach

Jamal Adams may be fed up with losing, but not with his head coach.

The Jets’ second-year safety went out of his way to throw support at Todd Bowles, who has come under fire during the team’s three-game losing streak.

“I’m all about T-Bowles,” Adams said during his weekly spot Tuesday on WFAN’s “Carlin, Maggie and Bart” show. “I don’t think it’s him. So all those speculations and people saying that Todd Bowles needs to be gone – no, that’s not it.

“I’m for Todd Bowles. I’m with him through thick and thin, and I’m going to always support him. I think that he does a hell of a job preparing us as the coach of the team as well as our assistant coaches do a hell of a job. We just got to put it together. We can’t make up excuses. We got to go out and execute.”

Adams, a team captain, also backed Bowles during his fiery rant after Sunday’s 13-6 loss in Miami.

Unsolicited, Adams said, “it’s not coach Bowles’ fault” before expressing how sick he was of losing and stating “enough is enough.”

Bowles’ seat seems to be growing hotter because, in his fourth year as coach, the Jets are headed for their third straight losing season. They fell to 3-6 after Sam Darnold threw four interceptions in Miami on Sunday. A loss to the Bills (2-7) this Sunday before the Jets’ bye would only make the whispers about Bowles’ job security grow louder.

Chairman Christopher Johnson said he wants to see progress this season. But the offense is regressing. Bowles continues to make questionable decisions – most recently keeping center Spencer Long in the game when his injured finger led to some off-target snaps to Darnold. Focus and discipline continue to be concerns as penalties repeatedly cost the Jets.

But Adams believes it’s on the players to do more to turn around this season.

“Players play, coaches coach,” Adams said. “How I feel is we got to go out there and execute no matter what’s called. The players on the field, we got to go out there and make plays. I don’t like to sit here and blame people.

“How I look at it is I look at myself as a player on the team. I look in the mirror and I ask myself if I’m part of the problem, or am I part of the solution? Everybody on the team needs to look at their self and ask that question.”

This was part of the emotional message Adams was trying to send after the game. Linebacker Jordan Jenkins said something similar.

“We have to look ourselves in the mirror and ask, ‘What can I do to make this team better and what can I do to help out the team more?’ ” Jenkins said.

The Jets return to practice Wednesday, knowing this weekend is a must-win game against Buffalo, who have their own issues on offense. In the last three games, Buffalo has totaled 20 points and scored one touchdown. They could start Derek Anderson, Josh Allen or Nathan Peterman at quarterback on Sunday, depending on who’s healthy

But the Jets are more concerned with themselves than who they’re playing.
