The Jets Are Bad, But They're Also Dirty

The Jets were called for six personal fouls on Thursday night. After the game, Broncos coach Vic Fangio tried to rush his players off the field and avoided an exchanging of pleasantries with Jets coach Adam Gase. Why? Well, because two of those personal fouls came in the last six seconds of the game with the outcome well-decided.

I'm guessing Fangio didn't shake Gase's hand after the game because of the big hits Rypien took at the end of the game (along with the timeouts NYJ took on the final drive with the game clearly over.) pic.twitter.com/XuEoNiUbo4

During the NFL Network postgame show, Steve Smith Sr. called out Jets defensive coordinator Gregg Williams as the man behind the dirty play.

WHEW! Steve Smith didn't hold back when talking about Gregg Williams: "I've played against Gregg Williams a number of times, that is his defense. His defense is about that BS....If Gregg Williams was standing right here, I would say it as well because I've talked to him about it" pic.twitter.com/CVrLsA0Ms6

Smith faced Williams' defenses quite a bit when he was in Carolina and Williams was the defensive coordinator in New Orleans. Coincidentally, he was the coordinator behind the Saints' bounty system. It seems like he may have brought some of those principles along with him to New Jersey.
