No day at beach for Beachum
Kelvin Beachum may want to burn the film of Monday night’s loss to the Browns.
The Jets left tackle had a terrible game. He was beaten by Myles Garrett for three sacks and committed three penalties.
“We didn’t win,” Beachum said. “I didn’t play well enough. … You’ve got to own it. I own everything I put on film. Your film is your walking, talking, breathing résumé and at the end of the day, my résumé didn’t look too well today.”
The Jets did not appear to give Beachum much help with Garrett, either, and the Browns outside linebacker spent his night in the laps of Jets quarterbacks.
The offensive line has struggled in the first two games.
“It’s frustrating, but it’s the NFL,” Beachum said. “We’ve got to love adversity. We’re in a world of suck right now. We’ve got to find a way to embrace it and continue to grow from it.”
➤ Browns WR Jarvis Landry had three catches for 32 yards, but it sounded like he hoped for more against
Adam Gase, the coach who traded him from the Dolphins to the Browns. It is no secret that Landry and Gase did not get along, but Landry did not squawk after the 23-3 win.
“I don’t have nothing bad to say or anything like that,” Landry said. “But I wish we had more game left.”
➤ Jets OLB Jordan Jenkins left in the first quarter with a calf injury. He will have an MRI exam Tuesday.
“I knew I felt something when it happened,” Jenkins said. “I figured it would be best to get off the field and not try to tough it and get someone else out there.”
Jenkins said he does not think the injury is that serious.
➤ Gase told ESPN that running back Le’Veon Bell was the team’s emergency quarterback behind Falk.
➤ WR Demaryius Thomas started for the Jets despite not practicing at all with the team after coming over in a trade last Tuesday from the Patriots. Thomas left in the second quarter with a hamstring injury.
➤ The loudest cheer of the night was for Jets kicker Sam Ficken, who made a 46-yard field goal in the second quarter. The MetLife Stadium crowd went wild after the team’s recent kicking struggles. Ficken jogged off the field with a smile on his face.
“I think generally you don’t get that reception after just making a field goal in the NFL, but I take a little humor with the situation,” Ficken said. “I’m just doing my job. Nothing exceptional — 46 yards you gotta make. I think everyone had a little of sigh relief there, including myself, but it’s always good to start out on the right foot.”
➤ Trevor Siemian is the 32nd starting quarterback the Jets have had since Joe Namath left after the 1976 season.
The Jets had been hoping that list would not get any new members when they drafted Sam Darnold with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2018 draft. But Darnold contracted mononucleosis and now Siemian is the newest member of a not-so-exclusive club.
