to do better.”
Enunwa said Thursday’s practice was the offense’s “biggest install” of training camp so far, only compounding the mental mistakes. As a leader on this team, Enunwa took responsibility for the effort.
“I know I was frustrated. It sucked. I come out Tuesday, I had a great day, and today was not a great day. And so I put that on myself, especially in the room,” he said. “I try to make sure that I can at least create a spark when things aren’t going well, make a play, make a big play, hype the guys up, hoot and holler. But I got to be better, and we as a group got to do better.”
The receivers were particularly sluggish, but the rest of the offense didn’t fare much better. The Jets’ talented defensive front dominated, regularly putting pressure on Josh McCown, Christian Hackenberg and Petty.
McCown led the QB group again with 27 reps and was nearly picked off by rookie safety Marcus Maye in the red zone. Hackenberg received 22 reps, but appeared hesitant to make throws on numerous occasions and often held the ball for too long. Petty probably looked the best of the three and earned 18 reps, his most of training camp.
The entire team ran sprints at the end of practice.
“We were sloppy,” Bowles said. “They practiced hard. We just got to practice smarter.”
The session ended with a drop from undrafted rookie Gabe Mark.
“Welcome to the NFL,” Enunwa said. “You can’t make these mistakes.”
